OptimistSPARTA 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.
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.

2 world wars, 1 world cup 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?
AthleticoSpizz We still have the January influx to come

Unbelievable the way some still think that McDermott can still turn around this current squad in the PL the same way he turned around last years in the very considerably weaker Championship!

We're in a stronger division, with a stronger squad, which can be made stronger still in January. So yeah, I think he can turn it round, especially when all that means is come May we are one place higher in the division than we are now.

How exactly are we in trouble? We unexpectedly got here & if we go down, then we go down. So what? 3 teams go down every season - them's the rules.

Unlucky with injuries?! Injuries always happen and I don't think we've suffered too badly in that respect. What's more, the whole point of having a squad is that you are able to cope with injuries. What the hell is the point of taking up a valuable place in the squad with Bryn when he's not even getting a look in with both Jem and Guthrie injured or otherwise unavailable and Legs and Tabb knackered 65 minutes into a game?

I hear Guthries available...guffawRoyalBlue And the remaining teams in the PL aren't allowed to strengthen their squads at that time?

Who will want to come in January?
Also will we pay the over the top prices in January when we didnt want to pay the prices before the season started

The chances of there not being a single decent player in world football looking to play regularly in the PL whilst recieving a decent wage are rather slim. If only we had a manager who was once a decent scout...
If it means we stay in the PL and establish ourselves as a "big" club, I wouldn't particularly mind if we paid a little bit extra.
