The Portman Road faithful wanted change - and got it. Now a few straws are being clutched as those same supporters see the few strengths of McCarthy's team gone and little so far to replace them. In years gone by, equally deluded supporters of clubs like Charlton and Bolton grew tired of Curbishley and Allerdyce. Looking at the table today I wonder if supporters of WBA and Stoke are wondering what they wished for when the Boro manager was hounded out of their clubs. These are bleak times to be a Town or Norwich supporter and I can't remember any time to rival this when the derby match counted for so little. It feels like a game where there can be no winners. The Norwich game might actually be an interesting match up IF Mick is installed as their manager in the next 2 weeks. Now that really would make this a season of transition |  |

Did you have to go to work on the bank holiday or something?
Have a stiff drink and mop yourself down! |  | | |

Oh dear! Reading this type of bollards really does make me wonder if it actually worth logging on here any more. | | | |

If we weren't bottom of the league, not powder puff up front and not porous at the back, I'd agree. |  |

Are we porous at the back? 8 goals in 5 games, could be our record in any of the past 10 seasons | |

Another way to look at it is both teams have started poorly, so the derby match actually counts for quite a lot... |  |

You are correct, it is massive for the players and critically for the fans.
It will also bring out a lot of those fans that don't go anymore or regularly, increase media coverage local and pundit interest. So a great opportunity to showcase what PH is all about. | | | |

OP, you're not a big fan of Farke then? Who would you like to see replace him?
It can't be much fun for you at the moment. |  | | |

The three big players that have gone wanted to. The relief of Mick's going and the enthusiasm of Klug raised a small wave of camaraderie and the feeling we'd got our club back.
But taking away the 4- game false start our season unfolded to reveal the state we'd gradually reached over several years.
Now we have embarked on a new strategy making different use of our limited resource. There's no "elephant in the room"; most recognise that we are at risk. But in reality, that risk has long been apparent.
The knowledgeable comments from such as Phil, Watson & co all point in the same direction, that it's a hard but unsurprising difficult dawn, and that Town do not look too far short in the squad if a winger and defender can be obtained.
I hope we beat Norwich for all the usual reasons (though as I've got older that bragging rights stuff has meant less and less) - but mainly to stop the deluge of allegedly new posters proclaiming that the end of the world is at hand as well as in hand under our new management. | |
