I think it’s right that if we lose today SM will have the worst home record run ever? We already have enough data to know he’s a disaster.

I was at Swindon and if ever there was a more confused...

I agree. I was there at Swindon and yes it was a crap pitch in windy day, and so anyone with half a brain would go a little more aerial and cut out unnecessary passing. When he decided to do that 20...

Sometimes you have to see a situation for what it is. SM has failed big style and it was an accident waiting to happen. The is no point faffing around until the end of the season when our best...

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The club needs to recognise weaknesses in the squad and address them, rather than sticking fingers in collective ears and keeping their eyes shut,...

Moving JJ, 21 record assists from the left, to RWB and bringing Chicksen in as LWB (which he will never ever be) is in itself a sackable offence for SM, end off!!
For god’s sake owners, bring this...

Reading all this just reinforces what we all know needs to be done. None of us wanted SM to fail and I thought maybe the owners had found another gem. The reality is that players who worked very hard...

The defensive frailties were self evident at Wembley and we’ve wasted two transfer windows. The owners have been dreadful on that issue and there are no excuses. If LW had asked for more quality...

SM has lost the dressing room to use a cliche. Data irrelevant now because the players don’t believe in him. No one likes player power but putting a rookie in charge of these players is negligence by...

Totally agree and so further p***ing off the squad and supporters by leaving a lame duck coach in place serves no useful purpose - we need a clean break from the SM mistake now as it will make the...

We need to forget the weaknesses in the squad which are obvious and won’t change this season and focus on damage limitation. If we keep SM any longer we will further disenchant the fans and the...

Yes it’s a worry. Common sense said that this was going to end in tears - we shipped 31 shots on goal last night so the defensive frailty is worse!
SM is a genuine, nice bloke but that gets you...

All the data being quoted in this thread just proves that it isn’t the way to select managers, although as stated earlier what has SM done to be in this job?
I’ll bet there isn’t one of the 10k at...

SM is a nice guy and I think he can probably coach a decent system, but the big issue is that loads of data analysis doesn’t get you a manager who can motivate quality players like JJ and McGoldrick...

I’m new to this forum and have been a Magpie for over 50 years, so have seen it all. I’ve also been a manager for c.40 years.
I totally agree that it’s not always right to have a merry go round of...
