After today's results we need a win. We need a win and we need to look the part. If they play us off the park AGAIN it will show the owners that we are not improving. A win will give Bruce some wiggle room in the transfer window. A loss should be the beginning of the end for potato head. A draw will just prolong the inevitable. So a win it is then.
A 3-1 win with an impressive performance.

Let's hope the players see the table and it gees them up. It's up to them.

To an extent it is. It is also up the manager to give those players a plan and a licence to attack.
And pick the right players and the right tactics and  change it if it is not working.

Absolutley. Not sure what the right team actually is though. It'll be interesting to see what he does.

I think we know he needs to change it.

I believe there's commentary of tonight's game on Talkshite - if folk haven't got any other options.

You can help me catch the cat if you like.  It spotted the Bob Martin's and was last seen legging it up the field.

Let's hope the players stop listening to the manager. Agnew may be their and our only saviour. Sadly, it's still Bodger's job to match the team selection. Let's hope he doesn't play too many out of position tonight. 2-1 Villa.

Just a note. Don’t adjust your sets. You won’t be watching our midfield in slow motion? But with Jedinak and Whelan in the middle it will just look like you are.

Not too sure about both of them in there. Maybe after 75 mins to kill the game when you're winning. Glad Hogan's got a start though.
