Game over. We've been awful since the subs and literally everyone saw it coming.

To be honest we have this issue even in Championship games, I'd argue a lot are lucky to be in the Championship. We're starting to get battered here, all men behind the ball effort from now I imagine.

Not really, it's not like he's had any control at all over how poor our squad is. Tony deliberately threw games in the cups.

I think we're also starting to tire a lot. This triple sub coming up is probably going to shift momentum significantly in Newcastle's favour. I hope I'm proved wrong.

How on earth did none of that go in?

If Brittain and Dolan were just a fraction quicker we'd have had a few more opportunities here.

Great until we have to defend a corner, weirdly.

Tbf is not exactly difficult, he just has to have 2 different tactics.

Will take that at half time, can't really complain about anyone in that half bar the silly yellow. Ref is bent but it hasn't been an issue yet. Defence solid so far - very pleased with how Eustace has us set up, we just need to turn a chance into a goal, ideally before we have to make subs.

That was an interesting set piece, you love to see it.

Unlikely, the comments I've seen from fans so far are quite negative towards it.

Moran is awful

You remember one more than I do. We've had some appalling picks for captain but he's got to be close to the top.

If this isn't at least 0-5 I'll be surprised. Shocking lineup but not really the manager's fault the club have left him with a bjnch of 12 year olds and a few dossers.

I had it in my head that the club had said they weren't putting gambling companies on the shirts anymore when we moved to Recoverite? Have I completely made that up?

On the flip side, yet another game against an awful side where we have failed to win. There's not a chance we're picking up points against sides at the top in the run in and we badly need points on the board now. We're awful and deserve to go down.

When the squad has anyone decent in it stripped and the top mamagement publicly state there is no ambition then it's only a matter of time until the more senior players give up. Sammie knows he'll get flogged in the summer anyway so why bother runming himself into the ground anymore. Waggott and Venkys out!

Every time you think they can't get worse they do. Absolutely no spine and I fully expect us to get nothing out of this now.

New era, old era, doesn't matter. Same players, same crap results. At the investment level we have we're only going one way, as much as Andy Holt thinks we have the greatest owners in the universe. And that's before you consider the non investment calamities.

Just come in from some errands. Are Stoke that bad or are we up for it for a change?

Having had a bit of time to digest everything I have mixed feelings. Eustace seems to be living entirely off of the first 10 or so games of this season and has done nothing in his career to suggest he can do anything but keep his head above water, which is perfect for Swag but potentially a disaster for the club. Of course, as Rovers manager, he deserves a chance to prove himself and I'll back him, but this appointment is a major risk.

Honestly unless the owners by some miracle do one or get their act together leagues 2 is where I'd expect to be within 10 years.

I can't see it. Waggott knows full well the reaction would be even more negative than it is already.

Isn't this the exact stunt they played with Brierly(sp)? "Sign him, cock up the paperwork, get a pre-contract deal and then watch as they go literally anywhere else)" It's like they're doing it deliberately to pretend that they're still ambitious.

6th, 2nd, doesn't really matter. We were 7th a month later and look where we are now. There's no guarantee they were going to keep the results they had up. It was definitely harsh to sack him, but we shouldn't be making decisions based on 2 months of games.
