No signs of improvement and he’s sucked what confidence and joy these youngsters had, out of them. I backed him because what else you going to do but like Pauno and Ince he continues to make shocking decisions and no indication he’s learning from mistakes. Don’t expect him to go anywhere soon but the players could manage themselves more effectively.

This formation is dumb. Reluctance to change is dumb.

Is there any point of continuing this thread? I feel like the fanbase must be near unanimous? Selles should definitely go, but Dai out is the bigger issue.

Anybody disagree? This thread can just become a place where we all agree with each other and get along.

He's getting away with too much because the criticism is going on the owner.

Nothing will change until Dai is gone. Get a new manger, new line up, new tactics. None of that matters when the teams knows that whatever they do in the pitch might be wiped out by the owner's finances.

Unfortunately real life is far more complex. Not a computer football fantasy game. Which seems to be the way the game has evolved since spending money became the marker of success.

The bloke is the classic combination of clueless and arrogant. He’s too stubborn to change so he needs to be removed, now.

Surely anything less than a win Tuesday and I see the calls getting louder to change the manager. Sadly Bowen doesn't have the authority to sack managers and Dai has gone AWOL so we're stuck with these ineffective tactics. These results are not going to do the development of these youngsters any good at all.

Put Selles on garden leave as can not afford to sack him, let Bowen and Hunt take charge until we get a new owner .

So Ruben has a 56% career loss rate as a manager.

If you cut out cup games it's 62%

League games for us it's 67%. Also known as, he's getting worse.

In 29 league games as a professional manager, he has won an almighty 5. That's 17%.

And he's playing with a talented, but inexperienced, squad at a fairly low level.

He has to be the worst manager we've ever had.

A challenge for a lot of fans is knowing how good this squad really is, and how much better a different manager could do.

I don't buy the argument that it's an inexperienced squad destined to struggle. Button, Yiadom, Dean and Hutchinson are EFL veterans, while Wing, McIntyre, Knibbs, Mbengue, Smith, NGW and Holmes have experience. And some of the rookies are the most talented; Abbey, Bindon and Vickers will play at a higher level, probably for different clubs.

I think this is a top half squad, and maybe the off field situation would drag them down to bottom half / relegation battle under any decent manager.

They are not absolute relegation fodder, which is what they look like under Selles. I think Hunt for the remainder of the season could keep them up, especially if the ownership situation is resolved by Christmas. If we don't act we're only going one way, sadly.

I know Abbey will play at a higher level, but I really don't want to see such a talented player who is mature beyond his years leave on a free after we're relegated to L2. But that is the current trajectory.
