Poor, clueless, woeful

Like the rest of you I am not a manager and only have an opinion as a footballer supporter.I feel the time is up for SD. We had an hour to break down a 10 man team and come away happy with a draw. He never appears to have a plan B and his tactics seem wide of the mark.
The players are trying harder but will respond more if we had a new face at the helm and not the promotion of a member of staff from within the club.

Division two is very poor in football terms and so is the football we are playing so its time for a change

We have a good squad of players and SD is failing to get them to play consistently to their potential. It is because of the quality in the squad that SD is able to keep them in the top half of the table despite his own tactical ineptitude. I would like him replaced by someone from outside the club. Whoever is brought in will have no illusions about the constraints that lack of money brings. I cannot imagine the Board giving false promises about funds being available.

Some good posts and opinions in their folks - keep it coming.

I tend to think the opposite.
From what I have seen this year, I actually agree with a previous observation that we are an average side in an average league - so to be 7th at the start of November and still in the FA Cup (unusual) I don't think you can consider that as under achieving.
Sure we have some good (not great) players - Cooper and Jones I would put in that bracket - but even those two don't compare with each other. Cooper is a rough diamond, with more emphasis on "diamond" and less on "rough" in recent weeks. He has to be one of the first names on the teamsheet at the minute. He's no Nick Powell but he does still give us our X factor.
I still firmly believe Jones is a captain in waiting, a natural progression from captaining the youth team but his passing still needs to improve if he is to become a fixture in central midfield. Lots of promise coupled with lots of improvement.

And that's our best players (in my view). So where does that leave the rest?
Honest professionals combined with untapped potential that only experience will enhance.
To me that adds up to an average team. Doesn't mean we will stay that way but that's where we are right now.

The big question for many is - who is to blame for that?
But is that even the *right* question?
All comes down to expectations I guess.
