Yep basket case club

They’ve had a pretty bizarre season. Seemed to get really lucky early on with lucky deflected goals etc

Aren’t they bottom on the xg for and against tables? And we’re even when they were top half

Good chance they’ll go down I reckon

Said it before when the rumours started to emerge at the start of the International break, they remind me of us from 2017-2019.

"Mad" owner, spend a load on players who aren't that good, be good for a limited period of time but then fall well off and end up battling down at the bottom all season.

Could easily go down, then again, anybody from Luton downwards (as well as ourselves, Rotherham and Bristol City above them), could also easily go down as well (perhaps less so West Brom and Middlesbrough but far from unthinkable). Competitive league, but maybe more at the bottom end of the table rather than the top.

I believe with all the sacked/left managers since the summer, Ince is already in the top half of the Championship for the longest serving manager....

Yep you're right, now 12th longest serving. Only 6 have been in the job more than a year!

They look woeful although they have been done with the two offsides in the build up to the second goal

Surely that's it for Bruce and maybe Wilder. Not sure what's gone wrong at Boro.

Fancy Terry to take over at WBA.

You’d think so. Can’t see Bruce surviving that especially

Shame for our old mate Gourlay

Not sure if anyone caught the first half of Stoke vs Watford but it must have been one of the worst first halves I've seen, no quality, no atmosphere, both teams turning the ball over within 2/3 passes regularly, fouls every other passage of play etc.

Not sure why some people believed Stoke were going to be in and around, they look miles away from the top six at the moment.

Funny because a week ago Wilder seemed nailed on for the Bournemouth job and he looks as if he will be one of the next one's in the unemployment line. Bruce's tenure can't be lasting much longer either now, expected that yesterday to be the final nail in the coffin.

Think between Middlesbrough and Stoke, they remind me of us, spending big on players and wages for players that, ultimately, aren't that good. A lot of money spent for little reward.

Laurent playing the 1 in a 3-1-4-2 according to BBC?

Really not gone well for last years midfield has it? DD still not club and the others 9 points or more below and I expect all with different managers to the one who signed them very soon

Not only that, Laurent has just given the ball away for Watford's 3rd today.

Should have stayed where you were Alex Neil. If this (and their performance against us) is anything to base it off, won't be too much longer until he's out of a job incredibly. Granted, they do have a fairly lengthy injury list.

As I'm typing, they nearly scored a 4th and Stoke are absolutely all over the place.
