Yeah same with me. I'm happy to accept he has a difference of opinion even if I vehemently disagree. I doubt he's seen as many games as I have this year and thus probably hasn't seen how bad it's been.

It will happen there just needs to be a point where we have no hope of recovery in a game. If the spurs away or Leicester home results had happened in the past two weeks for example then we would have seen it. Unfortunately during our latest run results haven't been quite terrible enough to prompt more decisive action.

I do wonder why a win would signal any sort of tactical shift in the boardroom either way. If they've got to the stage where they say win the next game or you're sacked then really they just have to bite the bullet and go for it. What if we beat West brom but then lost the next three? Either it's massive indecision and lack of leadership at the top or it's a dogged determination not to look like all those inferior clubs that go around sacking managers in the middle of the season. Probably a bit from both columns.

He should be sacked even with a win. Depressing stuff.

Can't say I've noticed much of a difference. The problems we have had all season remain.

I don't think the fans are going to find out who or what the root cause of this malaise is. Most were convinced it had something to do with black but our continued decline shows that's clearly not the case. I reckon its not just one person but a series of poor mistakes and hiring decisions that have made the club take a step backwards in a variety of areas go leave us where we are. I mean look at the academy and their poor performance to see that, someone like Martin hunter can be to blame just as much.

I agree except for that Jack schitt bloke and all his alter egos. Screw that guy.

It's probably just to consider the strategy post transfer window where we got no one in.

I know who Tom28 is unlike other supposed itks on here. I reckon he's legit.

Not really. We didn't sign any of them so even if they are true, him knowing makes no difference other than highlighting how poor we are at getting transfers over the line.

Abd as this increasingly seems to be the case, I will have no choice but to do the only thing we can really do to make a difference which will be not to turn up until such time as we appear to see the supporters as more than just a number in a balance sheet. Disgusting how much we have been mugged off and patronised.

Oh it's almost certainly too late now but teams have been in worse positions than us abd survived. We could get a draw this weekend and would be out of the relegation zone.

I don't mean a final chance for the manager- he should leave regardless of any result- I mean the final chance for the club to show me why I should show any continued interest for the rest of the season. If they sack him and bring someone in to give us a bit of a fight then I'll assume its worth my while.

West brom is the absolute final chance for me. Fail to win that and we don't sack him then I'll assume they want us to go down and I'll stop watching and attending the matches.

Who is then? Because at this point he's much more of an answer than the current incumbent

Lol! I think whoosh is the appropriate word here...

Leicester was the first game where I said without a doubt he should go. Subsequent games have just confirmed what we already knew.

That will be his enduring legacy along with relegation. In a couple of years time when we look back on this season, starting our four most expensive signings on the bench for a must win game will be the action that sums up this season along with the failure in the January window.

Either that or I'd have gabbiadini up front alongside him.

I knew someone of thy age who used to get bladder infections and had some kidney problems. I would assume in those circumstances a restriction like that would be unreasonable.

I don't disagree. I would have much rather had no incoming signings and a new manager

Hmm I forgot about hojbjerg you are right. Personally I'd give lemina a go a bit further forward than romeu but I think it would be unfair to drop jwp at the moment so that's a bit of a quandary. I'd definitely play boufal and Tadic together and 2 up front is a must.

Yep. On form at the moment team should be Mccarthy, Soares, hoedt, Stephens, Bertrand, jwp, lemina, Tadic, boufal, carillo and gabbiadini replaced with Austin when he's back.

I think it will be a draw abd it will mirror most of our season- a slow decline rather than a rapid series of spankings. It may have been better to get tonked in January rather than narrow losses or draws because we may have got someone in sooner. Too late now.
