So how long will you give the next boss? Couple of weeks until we played badly and get beaten. And repeat until when??
When we’re in the Conference?

Just home, I thought we were better than them for the full 90 minutes without working Johnstone anywhere near hard enough. Two flukey goals did us.
As for the booing of Hourihane, utterly disgraceful. I wanted him off as much as everyone else but that reaction was pathetic and embarrassed us as a fan base. Fuck off to the away end if you want to boo Villa players in a derby. ?

What do you suggest mollycruyf, just watch us lose week after week like we did with the last one? Stick with clueless Smith and we’ll be in league 1 before you we know it.

Absolutely. He’s been shite lately but clearly lost all confidence and booing won’t help. With McGinn missing two games there’s nobody else. Hate what I’ve seen in recent months but NEVER boo a villa player please

Awful stuff, again. Sick of seeing the same 3 midfield line up game after game despite clearly never going to work. Fair play to Smith for playing the young lad, and for starting Green but a bigger change in system required and just changing wingers each match isn’t enough

My reading of the owners is that they don't run around wetting themselves every time there's a bad result, or even a bad run. They're looking long term. That's what Edens did with basket ball team. Built a dynamic team based on young players. That's what they'll do here.
They know that the squad is full of older players, and players who can't maintain a standard for 90 minutes. It'll need changing, big time. Could do very little in this window except plug the worst weaknesses. In the meantime Dean has to soldier on trying to get results out of what he's got.
If they think his approach and skills will pay dividends next season and beyond, he'll stay and he'll have their backing. If by the summer they think another manager will do better they'll change. Which is sensible.
But don't expect knee-jerk reactions. They don't do knee-jerk reactions. No way would they consider a change before the summer and he'll have their support until then. My guess is they're not too phased by this run of results. They know the squad is not great, and definitely not the squad to produce what they're looking for.

Bruse left us with no defence
Smith has left us with no midfield.

We were the better team to start the match and if Abraham doesn’t take a massive first touch allowing Johnston’s to close down and make a save we’re up 1-0 and it’s a completely different match.
Not Deano’s fault unless I missed him running onto the pitch and toe poking it away from Tammy

Championship managers last a little over a year on average.
If this season ends in failure to improve or make the playoffs (like Bruce failed) then he'll prob have 10-12 games at the start of next season to be in the mix or the next one will be in by the transfer window.
A decent manager should have an immediate impact. Talk of needing his 'own players', half a dozen pre-seasons and 40 transfer windows is just cobblers tbh.
The club will no doubt put out the usual bollox but surely everyone is sick of all the talk and would like to see some actual results.
Suppose we'll need to start pondering on when it's a waste of time playing Tammy and the other loanees who'll be gone and start the actual rebuild

Miserable experience yet again. Looks like Hourihane is the latest in a long line of scape goats. I wouldn't mind but the boo boys always pick the wrong player to slaughter. It's been going on since the Gregory days it seems to be part and parcel of the club now. Not my cup of tea.
