Still excited?

As Lincoln said playing 2 murphys is suicide. Wonder if neil has balls to take Josh Murphy off at half time

[Green and Yellow fellow 0]

During the week Alex Neil said his main focus was working on what Norwich are good at. We seem to be pretty good at conceding.

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,421]

Just proving what a shower Brentford were.

[Fuzzar 1,702]

Time for an inspirational half-time team talk, complete with extra cross Glaswegian tough guy face and double closed-mouth spitting.

[Willmeister 35]

Needs at least a double change at half time. Don''t think we have even roemotely threatened their goal.

And to think that they that can''t be touched want to give him a 10 year deal! Half time and utterly dominated by Barnsley!

[Mr Cholmondley Warner 0]

Time for the Stowmarket 2 and Nepotism Tom and Neil to go

[hogesar 9,607]

You don''t half go a bit over the top Ricardo, "prepare for a long stint in this league". Yeah, based on what?

Anyway, we''ve been terrible. You have to build on results like last week and even a draw out of this game would be a bad result, but losing should really send signals to the board.

[Van wink 2,994]

Was so hoping to see us push on from last week. Flash in the pan it appears, lacking guts again.

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,421]

ricardo Prepare for a long stint in this league.

This is relegation form Ricardo.

Big half coming up no doubt!

How about "results" or lack of them for starters!! Thought that was obvious.

[Carra Rud 17]

Dire.

[ricardo 7,328]

Its taken a while to show through but I said at the time that the sale of Bradley Johnson was a mistake. Its coming back to haunt him in these sort of games.

[/quote]The defensive players were never Premier quality[/quote]Not Championship quality either.Prepare for a long stint in this league.[/quote]So really what he''s done is turn a team with 2 or 3 Premier quality players, a fair few top Championship midfielders and attackers, and a set of utterly dreadful excuses for defenders and turned it into a midtable Championship side.

[Indy 3,283]

I had such high hopes today, but not point having an attacking line like we have if we can''t get the ball to them.

Bassong sounds like he''s back to his normal level, Dorrans & Howson not controlling the midfield like last week.

Still I think this front line can turn this game around, the first 15 minutes crucial or the next goal.

Seriously having to ask where the hell have the players gone today? Why do they all look piss poor? Why can''t we have just one or two looking poor why is it the entire team?

[Chesney Hawkes 0]

Nobody can question that we are currently underachieving, can they?

[morty 0]

Jesus Christ.

You can''t get out of this league conceding nearly a goal and a half per game.

[hogesar 9,607]

Which is fine Ricardo, but a ''long stint''? Manager and players change. Just because this back 4 can''t defend doesn''t mean the same will be the case post January, or next summer, etc etc.

But yeah, we''re pretty f*cking dreadful.

Yes I''m still pleased that the twins who have been at the club since they were 12 started together today. I''ve followed their progress through the ranks since 2006. If you consider how many of the temporary highs and lows we''ve had since then you might begin to appreciate what this could mean to supporters who stick with it through thick and thin. Try appreciate what that means in the context of those ten years. Another reason to be proud is that the posters on this board contributed to the twins progress through Rays Funds. Some things mean a lot more than temporary form.

Unbelievable tactical decision to play both Murphys in this match. Cannot afford two wide attacking players in an away game. They are both weak in the tackle and there must be huge gaps in our midfield. Does anyone seriously believe that Klose has had so many poor games to justify the return of the inconsistent Bassong.

[nutty nigel 7,506]

OK Vos. But why wouild it have been better if Neil had been able to field an unchanged team with Naismith there?

[ricardo 7,328]

We have conceded nearly three times as many goals as Brighton but you can still find plenty who think we will finish above them.Aint gonna happen.

[Indy 3,283]

Yes Klose has been poor, Bassong deserved the start today.

As for both wingers, if we had the ball we would see more of them, Dorrans & Howson need to pick up their game and the defence to stop heading the ball out or directly to the Barnsley players.

[FenwayFrank 2,448]

I must have missed the breaking news on sky that said that football matches now only last 45 minutes

[Buh 0]

Playing both murphys was a perfectly fine choice but our defence cannot be trusted.

[Yorkshire Canary 118]

Wake me up at the end of January something may change then. This season is looking a complete write off and even he isnt that bad to get us in the relegation zone. So it is when he gets sacked this season not if and being in the championship next season anyone''s guess who will be in charge at the start of next season and what players we may have
