Should've got rid of the players instead. We'd be in a far better position.

Presumably that means at least one of Gallagher, Long and Austin are off in January.

Not a chance. I know we're not very good, but we'd beat them easily. We were at a low ebb last season and beat a number of lower league teams with ease.

Please quote my posts where I have been 'noshing him off'. Or do I have to prove you wrong again?

Stoke were awful because they sacked Hughes, they only won twice after he left.

Why do you have to turn every thread into an anti-Hughes one? You don't like him, we get it.

I could accept Moyes, and West Ham don't really seem to have improved much since they got in a sexier name and spent more money (surprise surprise...)

Allardyce would be a disaster, those calling for Hughes to be sacked but Allardyce to come in are posters either on the wind up or mentally challenged in some capacity. Our problem isn't defending (ignore Sunday, we kept two clean sheets consecutively before then), it's going forward that's the issue and finishing off teams where we're obviously the better side. We don't want a manager whose tactics mean we only lose 2-0 or 3-0 against Man City and draw 0-0 against the rest. As ITKs have said, we'll NEVER hire Allardyce, so this debate is pointless. Les Reed isn't that stupid.

Such a shame that the Brexit brigade have hijacked the poppy.

Huddersfield, Cardiff, Fulham... The three worst teams in this division.

At least you spelt his name correctly

If you or I had made so many mistakes in the same period, we'd be sacked. People should be losing their jobs over this.

Strachan would be brilliant. He wouldn't take the **** that Krueger spouts

Les Reed should've gone last season, instead he got a promotion FFS!! The only hope is for someone to take over his current roles and responsibilities but I can't see him leaving the club totally.

Perhaps we need a 'Replacement for Reed' thread I'd take Wenger as a DoF, I'm sure he'd like a gritty project.

Newcastle were worse than us last weekend, and yet somehow managed to beat them. Watford also couldn't beat a fairly poor Fulham team and got thrashed 4-0 by Bournemouth. Watford, on their day, are a good team but they're beatable. I predict a score draw.

Yeah, I can't say I care much. It's just par for the course now.

Yup. If I was the board I'd say to a new guy that he has this season and the next season, even if we get relegated. We need to start thinking of things in the long term instead of papering over the cracks. Someone young, someone unknown, a coach who'll blood in the young players and ship out some of the waste of space players that sadly are on our payroll.

Ranieri would be a massive upgrade, but is he the long term option?

Lol, he dithered for months. Let's hope he's learnt from his mistakes, but my guess is that he hasn't.

We did play well for a little bit, but sadly we can never perform for 90 minutes.

I think we need another motivational Krueger speech.

Incorrect. I just don't think he's the main problem and am able to take a more balanced and reasoned outlook on the situation, you should try it.

Good, those suggesting Allardyce are deluded, the stuff served up in reason seasons would be like Guardiola's City in comparison. I'd like the foreign route, although let's avoid Spain please.

Shame it took us to concede three goals before we actually started to compete. Shame on the lazy players.
