    Its the time for some serious questions to be asked

    Always got them on Phil, but can only ever advise. FYI I lobbied Ben Mansford to try and bring in Rob Edwards as manager both before he went to Watford and after he was sacked by them. I think he would have kept us in the Championship last season and then who knows - look at what he's achieved...

    Shane Lavery

    I think we missed him. Lavery out and Joseph in was the only starting line-up change between the team that stormed Barnsley and the one that stuttered against Reading. His pace and persistence (even without and product) would have kept Reading worried. We lacked fire without him.

    Our Prem 'make or break' game

    Agreed not one game, Man U at home and Rovers away shocking refereeing decisions robbed us, but Spurs away was the nail in the coffin.

    Referee

    Looked to be technically correct decision. The offside was in the Posh half, But then they stole a few yards and took the free kick from within our half. Seeing how fussy the ref was earlier about the placing of other free kicks, maybe he'd just given up at that point. Anyway he had a poor game.

    So if we had beaten Cardiff……

    Or - we wouldn't have sacked McCarthy and then we wouldn't have picked up the nine points we got under Dobbie (maybe 4 at most). Agreed the problem was appointing McCarthy in the first place, and I suspect we have our recently departed Sporting Director Mr Badlan to thank for that one.
