Unfortunately games like this one are not for us the supporters to get excited about, its for the manager to assess the players In the squad and then he has to manager the situation, that's what is being paid for. He has already stated he would like 5 or 6 new recruits and now you can see why, he knows everything he wants to know now before the season starts, so in so many ways the defeat last night for me was An excellent result.

defeat was an excellent result for yourself - the travelling fans last night deserved better plain and simple - to be rolled over by blackburn was not acceptable - yes we know the team would be not at full strength last night and yes we should have scored but to be honest it was embarassing and diabolical at times.

We have been chasing according to the papers a couple of defenders for a week or so - get them in or move on I say. instead we splash millions on a player who by all accounts had a good game last night when we have plenty of players for this position.

I hear the same story everytime we get a new manager - will take time, its a project, a few transfer windows will be needed etc but if Silva does not get off to a good start the knives will be out unfortunately - that's football - a result business I am afraid.

Pavillion, you already have the knives out, every deal that doesn't happen, every bad result, albeit a friendly, you are here with your negativity!
Of course it's a project and it will take time, that's what usually happens with a change of manager, we just have to be patient and believe that the board has learnt from the mistakes of last year. If you expect free flowing football from the off then I think your expectations need to be reassessed. It took Pep a year at City even with the quality they have!
