Optimist Merely pointing out that if we were in 14th, there wouldn't be a single fan calling for McDermott's sacking, and it's through no fault of the manager that we're not 14th.


Really? :|


Not his fault that a couple of big refereeing decisions have gone against us, neither can he be blamed for Federici's early season blunders.

But it is his fault for making some piss poor signings, and not having a clue how to get the best out of them. It's his fault for playing "direct" long-ball football and using two holding midfielders when what we need is creativity in the middle alongside a holding midfielder. He picks the tactics. He prepares the team. It's also his fault for being 10 games in and still not knowing what his best side is.

we have 28 games left. We'll be lucky to win 10 of those! We are going down. Even a change in manager and the change in how we play wont save us now, and there wont be an overhaul in January. It's paper talk.

Brian was rightly lauded for getting the team promoted just as he is being rightly criticised for the start to this season.

Quarter of the season gone, 6 points won. That equates to a 24 point season. That is pathetic.

I don't think any of our summer signings have been piss poor. We have also been unlucky with injuries. If you're referring to Guthrie in terms of not getting the best out of signings, I take it you don't buy "he's injured" story? If not then I'm not going to argue the toss with you cos we are never going to convince each other.

The direct style and tactics are the same ones which won us the league last season, he can't be blamed for not completely overhauling just cos we're now in the PL. When he had Sigurdsson at his disposal, he knew he had a creative midfielder who could have a team based around him, and I'm sure if he finds himself in that position again, either with Guthrie or a January signing, he would try it out again.

Well seeing as it takes us 5 games to get 3 points that isn't really much comfort is it?

Maybe not if your glass is half empty. Actually your glass is empty and smashed into pieces on the floor as soon as there is even a hint of trouble.

There is no reason why McDermott should go.

He's doing a good job. One step at a time. Did we honestly expect the Prem to be a walk in the park FFS?
