    Nice one Clive - not a ball kicked and youre already talking defeat!! Just the kind of support we need!

    Having been at the match, the tackle was no more than a yellow card, and if youre saying Parnaby nearly got his leg broke he made a remarkable recovery! Would have been interesting if it had happened the other way - doubt if the ref would have even given a foul, judging by the way he was refing. But I guess thats what you get as a Championship side with a prem side in town, all and I mean all the big descions going your way. Summed it up when Carter was booked for diving when hes through on the keeper (dont think he even claimed for a foul) while Viduka spends most of the match on his arse as soon as he feels Clem or Davies breathe on him. Riley even tells Vid to get up on at least 3 occasions and still doesnt book him! Nice to know the prem refs havent changed since we were relegated, (14 fouls by you lot and no cards, 11 by us 2 yellows and a red) and Im suspecting it will be the same if we go up.

    If 'your' south bank holds 7000 then how come we were only given 5300 tickets! Think you might be exagerating some what! By the way great view for the two goals in the second half - thanks Mox (pie would have been nice though!)
    Good idea about boycotting the next game - I'm sure Mox will considering leaving if you dont turn up.

    At last a decision the board can be proad of! 12 months to late but at least Mr Clueless has now gone - just hope the damage he has done is repairable.

    Hopefully the 'boo boys' at the end of the Southend game managed to hit a nerve with the board. Thank god that we wont have to put up with the inept decisions made by a bloke who has the passion of bag of cement. He had no idea which was his best team, couldnt make a substition to save his life, got lucky when we stayed up, got found out last season, has served up woeful football all season except for the first 20 mins of the Hull game,has no idea tactically how to organise players for set pieces, buys a goalkeeper who is at best lower division standard all because his mate 'fergie' wants our best keeper, buys players who have to be at least 30! And how does he treat the players - play 'rubbish' and we'll take you to Florida and Dubbi.
    For me - good ridance, lets hope the next manager can repair the damage

    He might just be the best signing we've made in a long time! At least our defence can be confident that they have a decent keeper behind them!

    Are you mad!!! Mobray to go and Megson back - what on earth are you talking about! Its amazing that after a couple of performances where we dont win the knives come out and youre calling for the return of 'king' Megson. Why not go the whole way and ask for Atkinson back!
    As for Sats game against Leicester we were cruising till Moore sees the red mist and lunges two footed at Stearman (how many times have we seen that kind of challenge punished in the last month!) Only one person to blame for Saturday - MOORE! We would have won comfortably with 11 men.

    Firstly I have to say shame on you for walking out after Hull Scored their second goal! I know you have paid for your ticket and have every right to do that but its at that time (especially needing only one goal to draw) that the team needs its support. Players respond to support and when they sense supporters leaving in droves then it has a negative effect.
    Secondly, I also have to admit I was bemused when Mowbray subbed both Phillips and Bednar and commented that he had just taken off 30 goals! However it does appear that Bednar was unwell and I guess we did well to get an hour out of him. I also suspect the Mobs feels that Phillips cant play with Miller, hence his sub.
    I do agree with what you say about Morrison and having been a Coventry the previous week cant understand why Brunt wasnt played.
    I also still cant fathom why Greening was subbed as everything goes thru him, and he and Koren are always 'showing' for the ball.
    Unfortunately again I cant agree with the route one comment. Apart from Bednar there is no-one else up front who can win high balls in the air. I feel we are geared up as a 'footballing' side and will win more games like that as we create more chances. Remember at home away teams will pack the midfield and restrict space so playing a route one game defenders will love it - especially centre halfs ! Also I for one would not want to see the style of football Stoke/Watford play!
    Defensively we are weak, but against Hull in the first half they had one chance and scored,
    I do have concerns over Kiely, for an experienced keeper he does make some strange decisions!
