When was the last time non of the promoted sides were in the bottom three after five matches?

Spijed

Sunderland, Liverpool & now Forest where we've made schoolboy mistakes.

Once we get settled we seem organised but why are we struggling in the first five minutes or so?

Spijed

The promoted sides are making a far better fist of it than in the last two seasons so far.

Not sure who this expert was but it sounds like duff commentary to me.

We went down, back up, down again, and now up again.

To the tune of Chumbawamba

Have to admit this rule caught me out too. I couldn't understand why MacAllister was allowed to stay on until a bloke near me explained it. It's still a weird one though. Why is yellow card the threshold? If a player is fouled and injured, and the referee agrees it's a foul, why are they only allow...

Spijed

Yep, which is why I'd expect us to set up more like Sunderland (where we had a similar priority) than Liverpool (where we concluded, rightly, our least worst option was allowing crosses into the box). Hannibal's job would be to rat around the base of Forest's midfield and to fill in if either wide ...

As Ugochukwu is now suspended for the game I presume Laurent will play instead, with Luis in front of the back four.

We need to stop Anderson & Gibbs-White controlling things.

Spijed

I think both Wrexham & Birmingham are finding the Championship far tougher than expected, and the gap to League one is quite big.

Spijed

Obviously a very good player but Liverpool paying £40 million seems a bit over priced.

I know I shouldn't have, but I cheered the Brentford equaliser.

I thought you were allowed to use someone else's season ticket as long as you are in the same age group?

Spijed

A footballing visionary

Considering every side in the Prem now does the same.

Spijed

Whether it's a red card or not, just like Anthony last week, he made a stupid decision.

Why make a tackle like that when there was no need.

If he didn't fly in the ref would never have thought about giving him a red card.

Spijed

Wrexham finding the Championship harder than the owners probably thought it would be

Spijed

Not food as such, but why would anyone ever want to drink root beer?

You might as well just drink TCP and Germolene mixed in with lemonade to get the same effect.

Spijed

Considering anyone can buy a membership to be the first in the queue un-vetted is it any surprise?

Spijed

Why can't people just refer to players as strikers, centre forwards, left winger, right winger, central midfield etc.

Spijed

Fair play to England. You can't only beat what's in front of you, and Serbia look a very poor side.

Spijed

Yes I’ve been thinking about this Why can’t they add the cup game ticket to our Season card? I seem to recall that this has happened previously? If the club had said all cup games will be added to season ticket cards but all paper tickets have an additional £1.50 surcharge there would probably be f...

Not on the Leon Cort one - we had our pants royally pulled down on that one by Stoke and Pulis. One of the worst players I have seen play for Burnley.

Obviously you never watched us in the old 3rd & 4th division then.

When he signed for Man City he was seen as the replacement for Ederson, not only to be Man City's number one for many seasons, but also replacing Pickford in goal for England. But since Man City have now signed Gianluigi Donnarumma he'll surely be the main goal keeper as he's only 26. All well and g...

By all accounts, Parker has been very pleased with Tresor's attitude and application. Given he was happy to say certain players didn't want to be here, I doubt he'd go to the trouble of publicly praising him if it wasn't true. The fact that he didn't make the bench on Saturday would suggest he isn'...

From the BBC: "Can Premier League clubs sign players outside of the transfer window?" Yes. Clubs can sign free agents - players who are not contracted to another club - at any time. However, unless there is space in a club's registered squad or the player is under the age of 21, new signings must wa...

Free agents can sign anytime.

Sunderland will be more than involved in the relegation battle.

Indeed. If we can beat other teams easily, as we did in the end against Sunderland, staying up will be a doddle

At least it gives us some hope that both teams looked woeful on the road against Sunderland.

Winning your home games against the bottom sides gives you a chance.

Change in set piece coach anyone? He was mocked, but so many forget what a role he would have played in our defending last season. Makes you wonder what's gone wrong this season, not least with amount of space Dan Ballard got last weekend. You can understand if a player rises in a crowded box and g...

Spijed

I'm not sure about the big club mentality.

Remember, in the cup final Crystal Palace got away with one of the most deliberate and blatant handballs you'll ever see in football.

Spijed

Didn't we leave Amad to have a shot unmarked from the edge of the area, then in the second half Fernandez had exactly the same chance when all our players were expecting a cross into the six yard box?

Spijed

Regardless of class there's no excuse for the free header that led to their first goal. That was just poor defending.

Seems we were so worried about who to mark in the six yard box we completely forgot about the area outside.

Spijed

The annoying thing about the result is you can't survive on getting points just against the teams around you. We've thrown away what could be a valuable point at the end of the season.

It’s a good result for football, because it keeps Amorim in and job and United being really ****.

And that's no help to us what so ever.

I feel cheated at old Trafford again

Never a penalty in a million years

If Anthony hadn't been a stupid idiot and tugged his shirt he would never have given the ref a decision to make.

Spijed

A reality check This is the Premier League and we are going to be backs against the wall in just about every game With not much on the bench to offer anything different You can excuse good players being far better than ours, but what you can't excuse is an unmarked header leading up to their goal. ...

Defensive set pieces so far this season are a massive concern, we look all over the place defending them.

Last season we couldn't score from one, this season we can't seem to defend them. Even the free-kick that Sunderland had should have been a goal.

We seem more open defensively than under Vinny.

Don't think he'll make much difference as it's clearly not working for the new manager at Sheff United.

If Kane gets injured there is a massive drop off in quality in the rest of the forward line.

Any idea what we had under Dyche when we finished 8th? It can't have been above 50%.

A cliché I know, but it's what you do with the ball when you have it.

With 5 at the back, we're going to be set up for the counter for most games.

We finished 7th.

This weird obsession with footballers who are already millionaires having to move to the Middle East to ‘set themselves up for life’.

I think it's fair to say that he'll never spend any money he'll earn in the Middle East, because of what he's already earnt in his career to date.

My issue is that I'm not receiving the email link, so like the Lazio game will have to pick up paper tickets from the office.

Walking down Harry Potts way before/after the game is now far better without the away coaches.
