I can hear the pre-match pep talk, "will be a tough match, need to be careful, good on the break etc etc etc". Against Bury (no disrespect). I would have said, OK guys this is a team below our league, go have fun and fill your boots. AND Duracell Bunny would have started - what more can he do in pre-season to get picked ??? AND Novak is probably the only self motivated striker on the team list. Poor old Roads, sent out as a lone striker AT HOME when he struggles with this formation at the best of times.
Was Robinson injured/ie why was he substituted ("as a precaution" yes Elsie) or crap ???
All the guys who said we don't need a striker - Duh !
Smithies not even on the bench ? Injured or on his way ? If the latter better be a good exchange for a 20 goals+ striker. Who said all 12 midfielders would score 10 plus goals per game ???
If you think I am depressed, you are way underestimating the situation. I don't want to hear the "new team, time to gel, always hope" stuff from you guys, and I particularly don't want to hear any "not lost, tough opposition,early days" stuff from Elsie. I want "that was crap, now we are on the offensive" (BUT I WON'T) from Elsie.
Can I/we muster the strength for another season of nearly at best, mid table at worst ? Any glimmers of hope from attendees ???
Drowning sorrows time !
Over to you guys (and a balanced view from Jamiroquai would be helpful to try to shake me from terminal (is it worth bothering) depression)
Sorry but early days just won't hack it - THIS WAS TWO POINTS LOST/WASTED.

johnny you may have just been to one game..
or do you just forget all thats gone before under the same manager and the same coaching staff???
we all accept that a new bloke coming in may take a while to get sorted..(poyet and loads of others who have gained success almost straight away notwithstanding)..
this is the same manager and coaching team so its never going to be one game..
if dean hoyle walks away from this club in the future and ends up a quid down, he is not the businessman that everyone thinks he is..
come into the real world..

38, 1 GAME of a entirely new season. That's my point and been so since 5 o'clock yesterday. I will hold my hands immediately if I'm wrong come game 46 and before that if the worst comes to the worst but not just now

Deano should get rid! Because if he doesn't and we fail to go up, will Deano go ? I'm a fan of 27 years and AM entitled to my opinion.

Wow, caught a big one here.
=======================
Looks like we have us another C0ckAdoodleDoo.
You couldn't even wind your own Mickey Mouse clock up and I don't think you can even get your own Screen name right.
I presume WTBA Is supposed to be a reference to the song.
I have bad news for you matey..........
It's 'OOH TO BE A TERRIER'
I'll help you out here........ it should be 'OTBA'
You couldn't make it up could you?

johnny..
no one on here who slated us all season for pointing out the glaringly obvious problems admitted they were wrong..
why would they start now???
there is no leg to stand on anymore..new players came in to other clubs and shone..virtually new teams turned up and played well..
we just did what was not good enough last season and turned up in hope..trying to scrape the points and happy with a point at the end of it..
its just getting more annoying..

Cryer,
Of course it's Ooh To Be A. I'm not THAT stupid.
If you'd been around the BBC 606 about 5 years ago you might have seen a particular thread which spawned the reason I renamed myself from "Iwan for England" to WTBA. Before you get giddy again, I am fully aware Iwan Roberts was Welsh. That's the thing about in-jokes. You have to be 'in' on it.
I used to be Champagne_SuperNovak until an old 606-er asked me to change it back. Not always the best thing to assume you know. For that reason I won't give you a
Oh too late...

I'm lost.
A bit like Novak & Rhodes.
You should have stuck with Champagne_SuperNovak.

I preferred the new name but like I say, an old 606 friend asked me to change it back because, and I quote, "It will make my balls taught". His words not mine!
You really need to get off Novak's back though Cryer. For work-rate alone, the lad deserves his chance. Too many footballers nowadays that get their pro contract and spend their careers believing they are the big I AM.
The reason I chose Novak for my username was down to this. At least he plays like he cares. You can't ask for any more than that

No, I totally agree. You can call a lazy git anything you want but anyone that works his socks off and always gives 100% deserves respect for that.
But where I'm coming from is that we need a little more than hard work in our team at this level. It's nothing against Lee Novak. Although I do feel a little sorry for him. It can't be easy doing all the donkey work for Jordan Rhodes and getting nothing back in return. I'm sure he'd be more effective with a better partner up front.
Novak & Kevin Phillips may have brought more quality out hf Novak. Who knows.

Can't disagree with that.
Rhodes definitely needs to learn to work more. Yes he scores goals but you can see why he doesn't endear himself to folk.
