My expectations are that we will finish mid table this season. And we're still on track so I'm happy with that.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Arguably, but for two dodgy refereeing decisions we could be looking at a point at Leeds and a 1-0 win vs Newport. People would then be saying how that was a better start than under Gus last season.

Oscar will learn the hard way with english football for possibly a few games, however he is not stupid and I am sure will cotton on very quickly and I for one will give him time.

Absolutely. I'll start worrying in December if things haven't come good.

A lot of managers shuffle their pack in the League Cup. It's a squad game. The manager only gets made to look like an idiot if the team loses. Rather than blame the manager, the players should be feeling the heat because the manager has given them the responsibility of doing a job and they have let him down by not performing their duties adequately. Giving players the excuse of 'the manager picked the wrong team' gives them the mandate to hide from a poor performance and think it is acceptable. It is not and I'd imagine they will pay by being out of contention for the match against Derby and other league matches coming up.
Really! So he asks to leave in March, then won't come to an amicable agreement to leave because he wants his compo. Then he delays the first hearing so we can't get on with the new season, then he appeals and now he's talking about taking us to court.

That side should have walked through newport first half. We started slow and didn't take our chances but who gives a **** its the league cup.
The real atrocity tonight was that fat clown of a referee and some poor offside calls.
Move on

I see the massive overeacton on here tonight as a result of a number of things tbh. Both Simster & yourself have nicely summed up the managerial sitch (pre & post Poyet), but I also see it as a consequence of the amount of JCL's we have who either haven't experienced - or chosen to forget -how shit things could be in the not-too-distant past. I also think that if TB expects to see The Albion in the Top division relatively soon he's gonna need to start investing in the playing staff - and now. Quality doesn't come cheap & OG needs to be able to stamp his mark on the squad with some decent funds to bring in a few key signings. Those who stand still in football - expecting a formerly successful side to be able to pick up where they left off the previous season - are doomed to get left behind. I hope to see some action on the transfer-front as soon as possible: coz my God, how the end of the present window is looming...

GIVE OSCAR YOU BUFOON
What we need is some fun back at the Albion, its all been to bloody mardy arse lately.......
Lets forget about that other bloke.
We have a great stadium
We have a great chairman who helped us get where we are.
We are in the Championship and not non league.
We are ticking along just nicely thanks, lets get behind Oscar on Saturday and make some noise and let him see what we can do and how passionate we can all be together....
