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.

In the 15 league games since Lawrence left we have taken 12 points. That's 7 from 9 games last season and 5 this season. Over a season that would lead to certain relegation. With Viveash going as well, the replacement personnel with different methods and ideas doesn't appear to be working for...

Robins needs to sort this out or go

Me too. Chalk on toast is delicious.

Yes

Most companies don't sack people these days, they free-up their future

No, that's Man U

If Saddlebrains is correct and there are wholesale changes, (if I interpreted his cryptic post correctly), I think we will stand a great chance of getting a result. We have the depth to try something different, and look how panicked the Wolves manager was last season when he misunderstood our...

Sporting President says Vik is happy there. It doesn't sound that way if his comments in post 359 above were accurately reported. It seems he is stuck on a long contract with what he thinks is an unrealistic release clause. Didn't he moan about our valuation of £20M before he moved?

So far that's Sid James and Louie Walsh in the team. Any more suggestions?

I did say I wouldn't be surprised, being careful not to phrase it like many do on here, as if I can read the future. But his target is now either 3 top 6 finishes in the next 4 seasons (including this one), or 2 in the next 3, depending on when the target was set. I think that puts him under a...

To make the playoffs 3 times out of 5 is very challenging for any club without parachute payments. It's essential to have targets in any job but they have to be realistically achievable. If we were to achieve 3 out of 5 but not get promoted would that then be viewed as failure? It ultimately...
