We've had some shaky moments this season, but we are still yet to play or even know our best 11.

And the transfer window is still open, which we are working towards what Bilic wants in line with our budget. To sack him 4 games into the season would be very premature.

We were poor yesterday, and I think Bilic has made mistakes with team selection. But he got us promoted last season and deserves a good period of time in the prem to find our best XI and get some points on the board.

He's also had his hands tied with the budget available, which is far lower than had been agreed in the event of promotion because of Coronavirus.

Yesterday was frustrating, we're going to have plenty of days like that this season. And if we finish 17th or above, he'll be a miracle worker. I can't see any other viable manager out there who I'd rather have, including Hughton or Pearson.
Agree. I don't think Hughton or Pearson would make much difference as we are badly lacking in quality in certain areas. We simply aren't good enough. I also think that the economics dictate that Lai will persevere with Billic as he won't want any extra outlay hiring and firing.

Every club has had to contend with the effects of Covid so in that respect it's a level playing field. I would imagine that if we don't bring the right players in during the window then that's down to Lai looking to recoup losses fully aware of the consequences. I do wonder if Billic is making a point playing certain players that are clearly more suited to the Championship but maybe its just me.
