Where are all these fucking captains I keep hearing about? Shower of shite

The Titanic had a good Captain but still hit a fucking iceberg and sank.

We'd have missed the Iceberg and crashed into America instead.

God there's been a whiff of panic on here since the season started, now its full blown hysteria. We were a completely shite championship side last season, so building a decent championship side is going to take time and its not going to pretty or quick. We should know better where we stand by November, but till then for your own sakes, I'd clam down a bit

We were told all this under Sherwood and Garde.

I couldn't watch or listen to the game so was relying on the match thread whilst watching the cricket. How did Jedenak do? Or is that a stupid question?

He completely bossed it as we saw the game out.  Alternatively I hardly heard his name except when he got booked.

You might be right, it might just be 'gelling' required, I hope so. On the other hand, I remember similar comments twelve months ago.

Another worry, although it's small beer today, is why half a dozen of our players get booked every game. Imagine getting two wins in a row, thinking about getting a good run together, and then all of a sudden half the first team is out serving a one match ban.

meh. I had us down for a loss today. Too many changes in too short a period. Something had to give. Give them time to gell and if its still shite come November then there's plenty of time to sack ANOTHER manager.

[citizenDJ]

As disappointing as things are today, I do think the team needs at least a few games to really get to know one another. The players we've bought seem pretty good for the Championship, and the manager has proven he knows what he is doing in the not too distant past. I think we'll come good, but maybe not for a few more weeks - especially if we add two or three new players into the mix as well. But once things settle down, I reckon we'll get on a bit of a roll.

That said, Bacuna and Ayew can fuck off.

[PaulWinch again]

1 win in 5 is diabolical.

[Jimbo]

A point a game so far in our 7th consecutive relegation battle.

Do you still think we're going to smash this league?

Not based on that shite. I have serious reservations about the manager and the fact that on today's evidence absolutely nothing at all has changed.

Xia should demand his money back. £40 million to look as bad as we've ever looked.

I think it's hard to stop a ship from sinking when it's already half sunk. That's where we were last season, and so it will continue until we realise we have no right to win without bloodying our knuckles.

We're only as good as our last games, and they've been largely completely shit for around five years. It may take a season or two of hard graft and hard truths before we turn that unacceptable scenario around.

[curiousorange]

My one hope is that it's still silly season at the moment - shit teams playing out of their skin etc. But we haven't been beaten by teams being better than us. We've dropped points through incompetence, same as usual. I got shouted down for having a go at Westwood and Bacuna, but they were part of that exact problem under Lambert, Sherwood and Garde and they're still part of the problem in the Championship. They're loser players in a loser side.

I'm feeling better now this is our record after five games in 1987-88.

Clam down a bit?! 'Sounds rather fishy to me.   

[Chris Jameson]

we are the new Accrington Stanley.

Accrington Stanley. WHO ARE THEY?

[Ger Regan]

As diabolical as that result was, it's a bit early to be talking about relegation battles. 6 of the starting 11 weren't at the club last year, 2 of which were making their debuts, so there'll be a bit of time for the team to gel. We were also missing a couple of players, and the squad building isn't complete. It's concerning, but it's far from hopeless, even if we played that way today.
