If you wanted to sack a manager that was popular with the supporters and you were expecting a backlash, when would you do it? IMO Just prior to the furthest away game coming up, that we aren't expected by many to get anything from (i.e. less pressure on players and manager), and with a 2 week...

Interesting article if accurate, and there is no reason to suppose it isn't. I always believed Vik wouldn't have played for us again after the end of that season, even if we had got promoted. I think the deal with Sporting was already done from Vik's point of view. And also Adi's comments...

Just scrap the technical area and tell the managers they must stay seated in the dugout.

Don't want to jinx it but we often seem to do well against Sunderland and Middlesboro. I think 5 or 6 points is not unachievable in those 4 games

Apart from Leeds, who are a cut above most of the teams in this division, no one has beaten us by more than 1 goal, league or cup. That is unusual for a team in the bottom 3 with a quarter of the season gone. We are horrible to watch at times but we aren't getting hammered each week. I really...

This the problem, it's not just about today's result

I posted on the Swansea match thread that Robins should sort things out or go. Got laughed at but now many people are saying the same thing. So now I'm going to stick my neck out again and say I think MR will sort things out, starting with a win tomorrow.

It was a joke ffs

What we need is a new keeper

0-2 to us

We only conceded 13 goals in that run and 5 were against premier league opposition

The point is, we didn't win yesterday, but for me is not that we lost, or any of the other defeats since the slump (however you measure the start of it). But yesterday we had 2 shots on target, 1 which was the goal. That's at home against a team that were below us, in an atmosphere that was...

We've had 1 shot on target.

And they had a 300 mile round trip

I think the phrase is bulldog chewing a wasp.

Last season the nucleus of this team beat Wolves, didn't lose to Man United in 120 minutes+ of playing time, and should have won. This season were leading Spurs with a few minutes to go, so the team is good enough against established premier league teams. By contrast we lost to Stoke and...

In my opinion this post is spot on. As much as I like MR and am impressed with what has been achieved under him, I think we now need to wipe the slate clean as to previous achievements, so much has changed. I hope he gets more time to address things but we will have to see how it all pans out.

Not really, in the 10 league games prior to the Man U game we took 15 points. That includes the 3-0 loss to our other bogey team Preston, but includes 3 away wins, a home win against Leeds, and also cup a win against Wolves. If you start counting from the Preston game, that's still 12 points...

It could be argued that the same thing happened after the Man United game.

I think he as earned the chance to sort it out but as I said in a post yesterday on the match thread, if he can't sort it he should go. We need to see immediate improvement of some player's attitude to start with, so hopefully he can address that before the next game.
