It's time Pannu and the rest of the board woke up to the fact that our squad is too small for the Championship. The bench against Middlesborough was totally inadequate. I don't care were the players come from Loans , free's, Bosmans or LOL cash buys but we need more bodies to prevent us sliding into oblivion...... |

I hate that the table is even gazed upon at this stage in the season. At this moment it means nothing. The transfer window hasn't closed and the management are professionals that I am 100% confident in them knowing what the squad situation is. It's fun for us to speculate and all be mangers on here, but it means nothing at all. Just support te team and let the powers that be do their work. I've had it with these over reactionary threads/posts. |

I can tell you today we looked like a team destined for the drop.. first half.....ok second half....poor,poor,poor. Not a decent player amongst them. I'm so very disillusioned about Blues this season... seen all 3 league games. < < |

I am amazed we haven't got more loans in; even if they are just squad players as backup since we had Hubbins Asante Wood and Redmond in the 16 today |

Like I said its a very sad state the club is in ..... & its getting worst. People think turning up & suppporting the team will make things better IT WILL NOT....its NOT CH or the players fault be we ALL know its the boards fault. People will only put up with so much & IF we dont start winning then gates @ St Andrews will drop & then were will poor CY get his money from to bail him out !!!! Before any one tells me we have sold 12000S/T .... yes we might have BUT those people dont have to turn up as the club already has there money .... its the 'pay on the day' people the club has got to attract in to St Andrews. |

On the contrary,I think turning up and supporting will make all the difference,there's nothing worse than playing to empty terraces |

I don't think we will be relegated, but we are not destined for any Premiership return any time soon like some expected. Its going to be a long season. We all knew this and probably with more downs than ups. Middlesbrough are a poor side by all accounts. They were horrendous last season and had a very poor home record throughout the campaign. Unfortunately, if you are going to be beat heavily by average Championship teams then it is hard to see past a midtable at best. But relegation is out of the question for me. |

The squad is ridiculousness small, I just can't see us signing anyone until Zig has got off the injury table and done one. |

When you say management I assume you are talking about hughton and his coaches ?... In which case I would agree, I have absolute faith ! If however you are talking about Yeung and Pannu, then that is an entirely different matter, since relegation this team has been absolutely decimated beyond comprehension and its crystal clear these guys are filling their pockets with MY clubs money to fill the black hole that is called Grand Top Holdings !!!.... I really dont think `chuldt` has over reacted in any shape or form with his opinion, In fact I agree with him 100%, the squad really is down to the bare bones. Another 2-3 injuries and we are relying on young lads who have not even made their debuts... Its about time some of these `get behind the team` and `we will be ok` brigade dug their heads out of the sand and smelt the coffee... this club is in trouble unless Hughton gets some backup... and fast !

middlesboro finished last year well and started this year well too, and under tony mowbray have become one of the best teams in the league losing away to them and derby, who have won all of their games, arent great results but their not disasterous ones, and are just the type of results you would see from an average championship team, which imo we are |

The three teams promoted from League One last season are sitting 1st, 4th and 7th respectively The three other teams in the top six all struggled last season As I keep saying, EARLY DOORS....plus we have a home game in hand Posted Image |

Be a good time to bring Barry Fry back then Personally I think we'll be playing Wolves and The Baggies in the Prem again next year......they'll both stay up miraculously on the last day as The Vile go down **thumbup :drink: |

In the 2006/07 season, Sunderland were BOTTOM of the table by the end of August. Once Roy Keane got things sorted and the team playing his way they finished top playing great football |

Much as I really hate to sey it, we tell villa fans tthat they're fickle, Bluee fans need to chill out a bit. The season is long, we're going through a transitionv, and need to keep the faith. Wee're not going to be relegated tids season. We will strugle t get into to the the top six, but to start talkng about relegation is just bloody CRASY at tthis point. KRO |

This is ridiculous. 3 games in (2 away) and we are doomed. Gomis, Ridgewell and Mutch absent injured yesterday. King, Jerome (maybe) and Zigic (possibly) waiting in the wings. Carter and LuaLua still on trial. CH saying there will definitely be more signings before the deadline and even then we can bring in loan players afterwards. Chill out people. Couple of seasons ago Norwich lost their first game of the season 7-1 at home. Finished up top of the pile. Even two years ago we were being touted as favourites for the drop early doors, then put together a long unbeaten run against all expectations (mainly ours!!) and finished 9th. 3 gone. 43 to go. "We're already looking like relegation material." Do me a favour. |
