...you'll need to narrow it down to a specific Friday for me to answer that Bob! :hehe: In all seriousness, in the match thread yesterday, I wanted him gone and I think enough is enough. I don't believe in hoping things will turn out OK. I'd rather decisions made. They won't always be right and there'll always be 'what ifs?' but at least it's done.Quote:

3 points from the Norwich game started to look like a lucky grab. The first half against Boro was a shock to us all, and we nearly blew those three points with the poor 2nd half performance.
We've largely failed to trouble the opposition in most of our games, yet we have players that can do so.
I'm not sure how much further you can allow poor performances in general to go before you hit the "You're fired" button...
It's Tan's money and he's clearly seen enough. If it was my money, I think I'd have reached the same conclusion.
Morrison set out with delusions of grandeur. 4-3-3 tiki-taka gegenpress nonsense when we never had the players to play such a system. No threat up front whatsoever. He's gone from that to hitting the panic button and not looking like he knows what he's even doing anymore, literally switching tactics and formations mid-match to chase equalisers.
We should be focusing on the downright obvious, scoring a goal and getting a lead in a match, not chasing games in clueless fashion.
Probably not many, but I'm not disappointed about it.Quote:

I was going to mention Flynn but I'm worried about Hilts' blood pressure!
.....only joking mate. Still, they're higher up the table than County. Just sayin' :wink::hehe:

You're probably not far off the mark.Quote:

You’d have thought playing for Millwall he could take a bit of stickQuote:

It was bonkers to give a bloke they clearly didn’t wholly trust the most important summer transfer window in years. Be interesting to know how much say he had in making the transfers as wellQuote:

"Rebuilding the squad" can be broken into different bits.Quote:

The difficult bit is replacing, shaping and motivating. This will be judged on, to a lesser extent (and I am being generous here), performances but ultimately on results. To do this bit, you DO need to be a good manager and he has fallen way short. Subsequently, this and, considering his abysmal lack of anything approaching people skills, was only ever going to end one way. Better now than later in the season when things would probably be even worse.
