Eric Black perhaps is the major issue here. Also, we don't really here much from Pascal Plancque, the other coach.

Calling Guan or K.Billy to confirm or refute the rumours please...

No, what I am saying is that the bad form isn't just down to the manager. The players need to up their game. After the first goal against Everton, the players capitulated. Why? Of course, the manager should take some responsibility but it's not all his fault.

Always easy for the manager to get the blame. The players should look at themselves. 1 goal all season for Long is pathetic from him. Say what you want about the manager's tactics, formation etc. but the players have to take responsibility too for the bad form. I'm wondering, therefore, if Nigel Adkins's presence in the stands on Saturday was not a coincidence. Perhaps he's being lined up to take charge for the rest of the seasn, like Hiddink did for Chelsea last season. There would be a better calibre of managers available in the summer, if we do indeed to part company with Puel, rather than hire someone straight away.

No way we should sign Defoe. He has one, maybe two decent seasons left in him. He would be a waste of money.

I will hold my hands up as being someone this time last year who wouldn't have been sad to see Koeman go. I was wrong then and I'm confident that things will turn around in the next few league games. Even under Pochettino we had our dodgy moments. QPR at home, Cardiff at home, West Brom at home

So why was Austin scoring for fun until he got injured? If he was playing and still fit, I have no doubt we'd have won or drawn some of the games in which we dropped points. That's why I blame the board for not signing another striker in the summer, and why we should be pushing urgently to bring one in.

Or this temporary bad form is deceiving the deluded pessimists who want us to sack our manager every other 10 games like Hull or Swansea

The links to Aston Villa are beyond stupid. They were in a relegation battle. We are not

I'd rather have Adkins back than Eddie Howe

Arsenal equalise! Lol

I agree with that. The West Brom really was a poor one. I can understand losing to Spurs and Everton. If we lose in the same manner to some of our next opponents then I will be concerned for sure.

The referee for this one is Chris Kavanagh Mainly a Football League ref but was in charge when we beat Sunderland in the EFL Cup He'll probably be promoted to the Select Group next season

Jenkinson, Gabriel, Gibbs, Coquelin, Xhaka, Elneny, Chamberlain, Ramsey, Iwobi and Pérez all played in that game. Granted, Ozil Sanchez and Giroud didn't play but that team we beat was not a poor side at all.

And then beat them a few weeks later

Meanwhile, Bournemouth currently beating Arsenal 2-0... Just shows what a great result we got down there and the job Puel did who tactically outsmarted them.

That's like saying we should go for Brendan Rodgers because he's going to win title after title, cup after cup in Scotland.

De Boer failed miserably at Inter Milan, he's not good enough. With some of the names being bandied about, I really worry that our fans lack ambition.

No, but Eddie Howe wouldn't be an upgrade on what we currently have.

Yeh last season, not last month.

On the Norwich forum, they expect to put out a weakened team

Why would we want Eddie Howe when he just lost 3-1 to our current manager?

A better right back than Martina, that's for sure.
