What does everyone think? I'm aware he's on a long term contract but surely if we're in the bottom four by Christmas and out of all cup competitions he must be sacked?
I'd send him packing now
We have some winnable fixtures coming up now, I'd say the next tough game is Swindon on 10th January. Failure to pick up points against the likes of Colchester, Walsall, Port Vale, Fleetwood, Doncaster, Chesterfield over the next month will surely see him being shown the door.
I see three of those games as eminently losable.

Colchester, Port Vale, Walsall and Doncaster are all poor teams, Chesterfield are on an alarming slide after a good start. Fleetwood are pretty poor away from home.
A competent manager should be picking up a good amount of points from this run of games.
We're performing poorly but we're also performing below are ability.The league table suggests we're also a poor team.

The first thing Waggot and Fisher need to do is establish whether Pressley (a) Understands why the club keeps losing games and (b) has a plan to deal with it. If he doesn't I think it would be hard to keep him on.
I like the bloke and respect that he's had worked under some of the worst circumstances of any Cov manager, for that reason he deserves some more time.
Like thorn did?
He didn't. Or did I miss the 10 point reductions in 2 of his seasons? The move to Northampton that crippled the cash flow?

Look at the transformation when Robins came in a few seasons back, we were performing extremely poor when he came in but in a period of a few months we became a team who would have challenged for autos given a whole season under Robins.
The squad isn't great but it is also better than the league table suggests, give a competent manager this group of players and he should be picking up a good amount of points from this set of games.
Well thats your opinion that we're a midtable, imo we should be finishing at least top 10 in this league and we're a far away off that.We're not performing much below our ability. We're a midtable squad, we're only 3 points of midtable. Perhaps we overachieved in that unbeaten run and underachieved in the poor run.
Robins first 11 was much better than this one and had far better balance to it, more experience and more leaders. It had an very strong spine (Murphy-wood-Jennings/Bailey-DMC, and the likes of sheff and baker) He also immediately strengthened keys areas as soon as he arrived so it wasn't entirely the same squad.

If this were anywhere else he would have gone by now

Absolutely it was a better squad, if Robins had the whole season from start to finish we would have been challenging for auto. This current squad couldn't do that, but were people saying that after the 4-1 defeat at Shrewsbury, that we had a really strong squad for the league? Or were they all shit and poor quality after that game?
After the 4-1 loss at Shrewsbury you wouldn't have found one Cov fan who would have said, yea we have a really good squad for this division. But the reality was we did, it just wasn't being displayed on the pitch because of the manager. Similar problem here, the results and performances are extremely poor but don't let that fool you into thinking these are bad players, they are just being mismanaged.
It was only today a Notts County fan said imagine if we had a forward line of Jackson, Madine and Nouble to choose from, they are relying on Shaun Harrad who is a 29 yr old who has played majority in the Conference and Garry Thompson a 33 yr old winger turned emergency striker.
Were any of those players you mentioned mentioned performing to there ability before Robins under Thorn and Shaw?
Robins came in, took an under performing squad and got them performing to their ability and we need someone now to do the same now.
