    A mid table championship club punching above it's weight.

    You said it Jeremy and it's what we are now. A pity you weren't as truthful with only selling us to the right owner or to someone who can take us to the next level.
    You should have been honest and said I will sell for the most money no matter who they are.
    Cheers bud.

    Has there ever been a shrewder owner in modern day football?

    To pretty much buy for a song whilst shafting minority shareholders, having a dozen or more years of excitement and reasonable success and then to sell up for upwards of £175m.

    The list of charlatans who’ve come into football with the aim of making big money is endless and pretty much all of them fail and it ends up costing them dear.

    JP is a complete s h I t bag but I have to tip my hat to him that in terms of his plan and its execution he played a masters hand.

    I wonder if he watched us whilst “feet up” in his Jersey mega mansion last night whilst stroking his long haired white cat!?

    JP is a complete c unt and sold us up the river. We are punching above our weight. No decent keeper with Palmer out - Moulumby shocking again - Dike for a big guy is a poor Miller and Albrighton did he come from Leicester Pub FC? Townsend and Furlong both poor!!! No depth whatsoever or quality!!!

    TGH showed more energy in 10 minutes than most of them.

    Left Hull on the 81st minute as was that disgusted!!’

    PS - only decent part of going to Hull were pints at £3

    Al, the worst player on the night had to be O'Shea. Wins absolutely nothing in air when defending and is always giving the attacker too much time and room. Doesn't deserve a place in the starting lineup and should be stripped of the captaincy in my opinion.

    In a perfect world Carlos would need to do a Nottm Forest and sign 20 new players.
    The only ones from the current crop I would keep are Palmer, Griffiths, Yokuslu, Wallace, Asante and Swift, the rest can go

    Agree with the exception of Griffiths as not being harsh but he’s not good enough!

    Before Carlos came I would have been happy to have survived relegation. But he has done wonders with a team of bang average players. Nobody else could have gotten a tune out of this lot, but he raised of people's hopes and it's the hope that kills you.
    Let's be honest this team isn't good enough for promotion when you compare it to the teams of Megson, Mowbray and Di Matteo. It's certainly not good enough for the premier league.

    Praising players one minute, condemning them the next, over one game. It’s just tiresome. They were outstanding v Boro. It is what it is. I really can’t invest emotional energy over it. A game ruining my whole weekend what for? It’s pointless.

    Another problem is that due to lack of investment a lot of these players have been here too long and failure is ingrained in them

    It’s our poor away form that is our major problem at present. We are like two different sides. I realise that home advantage is a help but we appear to take it to extreme levels. Take the last two games for example. We are excellent against a very good side and, although I didn’t see the game but according to reports, we were poor all round against a very average side last night. It doesn’t make sense as we had virtually the same side.
