“So the Sheffield Utd match looks like Nathan’s last chance saloon or maybe he’s gone anyway”
“Just to be clear, Sheffield Utd are 9th. Why are people saying this is one of the games for Jones to save his position? Surely that was Bolton, Norwich, Watford, Burnley”
“Jones is like a rabbit in the headlights – showing the immense pressure in his body language “mouth open eyes flicking everywhere” I don’t care who gets the result we just need to get a win Saturday – didn’t we struggle to beat them 1-0 last year here when they were down to 10 men – d’oh “
“reckon he will be gone after Saturday whatever the result, with Bowyer coming in, maybe on a temporary basis. owners know they have to get someone who the fans can rally around”
“Ultimately if we don’t change it up we’re down, we will lose to Sheffield United, then we’ve got to make a change of management over the international break. Times unfortunately up for Jones if we want to stay up.”
“Jones is toast even if we get the win against Sheffield we have an awful run in December and January fixtures we won’t get many points in them so a change needs to be made or we go down and be cut adrift.”
“It does feel like the Sheff Utd result is irrelevant. To me, Nathan looks a defeated man in the latest interviews. Literally out of ideas, chopping and changing the squad every game. Making triple or quadruple subs. It’s chaotic and I think he knows his time is up.
He’s literally said he doesn’t know how to get out of this or get the team winning. He’s out of ideas.”
“Pardew signed off with a 5-2 home defeat to Sheff Utd in Nov 2008 – not a great omen for Saturday.”
“When Jones goes ( Probably after the Sheffield United game) I expect we will be lumbered with another journeyman manager who is just killing time”
“I’ll be there Saturday to say my goodbyes and thank NJ for what he’s done “
“The football is inept. It’s been difficult for a long time but he used to get results. The players are inept. The coaches are inept. The owners are inept.”
“It’s only going get worse Saturday.”
“Two of the worst teams we could wish to face Bolton, our record is awful against and a tough psychical nasty game v Sheffield”
“Sheffield Utd will eat us alive if we play like we did on Tuesday”
“Sheffield Utd will slaughter us”
“In preview to Saturday’s game Jones said we didn’t play badly against Bolton. Was he actually at the game? I honestly don’t know what depths we have to reach for him to admit we played badly.For your information Nathan we were absolutely dreadful.”
“Boltom were the worst team we’ve played since Sheff Wed last season. And we lost to them. Desperate times.”
“We wont get any point or points on saturday.”
“It feels like the owners have settled for relegation. They wanted investment off the back of promotion for both teams, it didn’t come and the interest is now gone. Saturday is going to be rough”
“I am a season ticket holder and realy didnt want to go.I wish I hadnt and wont go saturday.I desperately hope they win but really am not enjoying visiting the valley at present”
