    We are on a run in terms of results over 4 games but performances have not been great. Bell needs time to prove whether he is up to the job or indeed if he might even be a positive figure for the club. He may also run out of steam quickly. We don't know at the moment.
    However, I have seen a well known Twitter poster suggest that matters '..will only improve by bringing in management from outside..'. I cannot see how this person could possibly know. (Perhaps he can let me know next weeks Euro Lottery numbers��)
    What we DO need is a bit of thoughtful consideration of the situation. Nobody had great expectations for this season, in fact there were lots dire predictions of the end of the club etc. Yet here we are, 6 points below the play-offs and 10/11 points from the trap door. We've won more than lost but drawn too many. Yet I suspect there are many 'I want it now!' types who will seethe at any suggestion that things are not as bad as made out.
    To finish, it's not great, it's not even good but many at the beginning of the season 'hoped' for mid-table mediocrity. To get through this 'transitional period', we need some considered reflection and not rush to sack whoever the current manager happens to be (after all, we're not the Tory party!). Only then, can we build for the future. So, Wartman - an interesting point of view and well worthy of lots of constructive comment.

    On the contrary Gazan, Freddie is entitled to his opinion and I asked for peoples thoughts and they are clearly Freddie’s and I respect that I disagree with him on this occasion and that’s what makes a debate interesting he does have a point and we are winning ugly at the moment but I recall Arsenal winning the league without losing a game by playing mainly ugly I think 1-0 to the Arsenal was a chant heard at Highbury with regulatory. It was important to win some games and keep some clean sheets and maybe to achieve that with this current crop of players we have to be boring time will tell.

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Agreed. But an opinion is just that and people can express with reasoning with the understanding that opinions can be wrong OR they can be expressed as god-given fact in a tone of disrespect. For me the latter type is not worth much.
    In terms of the interestingly named Freddy Creweger, I have to confess I found the display of 'dark arts' somewhat ironically amusing. We've faced so much of this crap in recent times that it was satisfying to see us turn the tables for once. Of course, if we were to make a habit of it then that would be a different matter.
