    Warne under pressure?

    He must be starting to feel the pressure now?
    We have scraped through games and struggled to find any consistency.

    His post match comments yesterday beggars belief.
    We like to play with wingers and get crosses in.
    Then why start with Morris and leave Hastie on the bench?

    I’ve only missed one home and away and we have been average for a large majority of the games with a lot of poor displays.

    For me he’s taken us as far as he is capable of.
    Wouldn’t be disappointed if we made a change.

    Last week there was a debate on here as to which strikers we should start with because we had a healthy choice of options and it was a great problem to have.
    Same with midfield and wingers
    Since the summer he,s converted an ok defender into the best one in the division
    He,s recruited the best keeper in the division.
    Olasunde and Lindsay are fabulous recruits
    I could go on......

    So After a disappointing performance I don,t think it,s time for a change

    I don't understand why Morris is being played wide, ahead of Hastie though ...unless Hastie has some fitness problem. Morris is capable of winning the ball in the air (although it could then go anywhere) and he is not fast, so makes more sense to put him up front in the middle, not out wide. If Morris was scoring regularly from playing wide, it might have some logic to it, but he isn't doing that.

    Yes he is under pressure, he’s a manager and will always be under pressure when we lose games.

    I just didn’t understand what the hell he was thinking yesterday tbh because his decisions were shocking (yes I know it’s easy to say when we lose)

    I’m not sure about him losing his job tbh.
    However I’m sick of the usual tactics, slow build up play, players playing out of position.

    We have a talented squad and we may look back and regret it not been used effectively.
    Warne is beginning to sound like a broken record.
    We simply don’t play well in enough games.

    Were we not saying the same things the last time we were in this league bout the manager and bout the same time of year? He got us promoted. Let's see how this season pans out. I wouldnt be too disappointed if we are still in this league next season. It won't hurt us to be in this league next season if he fine tunes the team and have a proper go next season

    Yes, 2 years ago people were saying without Kieffer Moore's goals we were heading south not north.

    I would like to see success just as much as anyone else, but we have no right to expect it.

    Just going back to the last time in this league (and see what January brings):

    Some good points made there, however with our current squad we should be doing a whole lot better.

    With our supposed fitness regime we have an unusual number of injuries, the bulk of which are suffered off the pitch.

    Plus as mentioned in another thread our dead ball play is abysmal and has been all season

    Yes, you see I really disagree with Stovic on this. It seems a profound dishonesty to kick the can down the road and envisage this miraculous transformation after PW laughably "fine tunes and has a proper go next year". And then next year the excuses will be rolled out and it will be the year after. A joke. He's had the time. He's had the backing and he is serving up inconsistent rubbish. Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don’t think he actually knows his best side yet.
    Some of it down to injuries, some due to lack of form or indifferent performances from individuals.
    We’re quite capable, just need to get some positive consistency and players back from injury.
