    Was successful but how many poor signings how many bad performances did we have. He was given time to achieve.

    Was successful but how many poor performances how many long ball infective tactics, games did we watch.

    Has made mistakes had poor games but has had some success keeping us up.
    He needs to be given time like other managers have had.

    Neil Redfern should have been given time and he didn’t get it. Some of our fan base have become so entitled it’s embarrassingly stupid.
    Yes Sunday was bad but if we win Saturday it’s 7 points from 12 hardly disastrous.
    I agree with pretty much all that Pocket and I personally don't want the manager sacked. My problem with all that's happened is that since MT has been here, just over 12 months, I still dont know exactly how he wants us to play. At home we have played some great football with wins against Norwich and Coventry, we should have beaten Blackburn and we gave Leicester a real game too but away from home we look lethargic, slow everything down and just cannot keep hold of the ball. If he sets us up to defend then we have to have a counter attacking threat but I haven't seen much of that, and we continue to do the same thing, and whilst injuries have blighted us this season it's not all down to that and the manager has to carry the can for the woeful away performances.
    I do fear for us already and I dont think TS will send him packing but our January window is becoming critical for us, I just hope we aren't adrift by then. UTM

    I don’t know but perhaps we just try the Home tactics when playing away. Can’t be any worse

    Taylor seems very arrogant in his assessment of his players. That might wash if you've been a great player yourself. But Taylor wasn't even a particularly good one. Cafu, for one, seems to have made his mind up
