    I can’t help thinking that the voice to get rid it’s growing so no matter what happens it’s not good enough.
    Today was a poor quality game bottom 3 sides you would expect that.
    Our home support is embarrassing yes the players need to do better but our fans are shocking.
    Clarity is gone now the fact we showed character today doesn’t matter the fact our confidence is low and we kept going doesn’t matter the fact he kept us up last year doesn’t matter the fact we’re not cut adrift doesn’t matter.
    He’s not been here long so get rid and what then?
    I’m interested to see who the ones who demand he goes think we can get in.
    Warne got 3 relegations so what’s changed with our fan base?
    Why after keeping us up and we can still stay up he needs to go. Dont tell me it’s the performances because we’ve had far worse under previous managers.
    Pocket, in all honesty, do you think the last two performances against two clubs who are below us, is 'staying up' material.

    Last week I was all for supporting Taylor and giving him a chance but when I saw the 4-5-1 line up today, I instantly thought, he has no balls to take a game to anyone and the first half and most of the second half showed it.

    That kind of performance today will not keep us up. We have failed miserably to beat the only two teams below us and I for one are quickly becoming a Taylor out fan.

    Come Tuesday night against high flying Ipswich, if he persists with his bombastic attitude that he knows best and fields the same starting line up then get ready to be soundly beaten. However, IF the light bulb comes on in his head before Tuesday and he feels he has to change the formation then we may be in with a small chance of something.

    All we as fans are asking to see is an attacking line up at home, yes I get the one up front away from home hoping to snatch a point but, have a bloody good go at home. IF we have a go from the off and we still get beat so what, he will have tried an attacking formation and that's all we are asking for. Carry on with the negative start and we will be adrift through the festive period. Have a word with him Pocket, you know it makes sense

    NB. To answer your questions:

    He’s not been here long so get rid and what then? He's been here over 1 year so he should know what works for him and clearly what doesn't.

    I’m interested to see who the ones who demand he goes think we can get in. There's plenty of Managers out there, Rowett for one.

    Warne got 3 relegations so what’s changed with our fan base? Warne played in your face, high tempo, upbeat football, this guy has ripped the book up on this approach and with the players he's brought in, he could have continued that no problem but he prefers hoofball to Hugill and it ain't working.

    Why after keeping us up and we can still stay up he needs to go. Dont tell me it’s the performances because we’ve had far worse under previous managers. Warne left a decent legacy behind and it's clear Taylor has his own coaching ideas from League 1 but the Championship is a completely different animal and he isn't adapting accordingly to take it on.

    QPR gave us a footballing lesson today. How many times did they bring the ball out of defence, find a telling pass to a midfielder in acres of space, play the ball wide to niffy wingers who breezed past our defenders at will? Compared to the Rotherham 'method' of launching the ball up front with a 20/80 chance of winning possession. Hugill was dreadful today - after a commanding performance against Coventry he reverted to type with his eyes on the defender and wrestling instead of trying to win or control the ball. Playing Clucas advanced on the left was bewildering and Fred and Hugill just get in each others way on the right.

    The major backlash we rightfully expected after the Hillsborough debacle was non existent. There was no composure, no one running into space to receive the ball and very little energy. That changed the moment Kelly was introduced. His first involvement won the foul from which he scored with his second involvement. A brilliant goal and an injection of enthusiasm which had been lacking before his introduction. His enthusiasm rubbed off on Nombe who was tenacious and had his best game so far.

    We could have robbed QPR of all three points if MT had introduced Revan and even Appiah later on, but to bring on Eaves (who if I'm correct never touched the ball) was the sign of a desperate coach as opposed to a clear thinking strategist.

    The two goals were worth the entrance fee but the intervening football gave me no confidence whatsoever that we have either the leadership off the pitch, nor the fight on it, to avoid the inevitable.

    Pocket, in all fairness I wouldn't blame Warne for the first relegation, we were down before he took over. As for the other two relegations, I saw them as Warne had no plan B but moreover, lack of investment by Stewart in both January windows when Warne needed to bolster the squad. The talk of the money was always there but Warne never spent any because he couldn't find any more nice Hooman beings, is still under debate to this day.

    As for Rowett, a northern man but, I was only using Rowett as an example to show who's out of work. Here, i'll throw you this one in, Mark Robins. In his last 5 he's drawn one and lost 4 on the bounce and one of them was against us. He's on very thin ice as Coventry have big dreams and currently it's going pear shaped for him. I would take him back tomorrow regardless that he once walked away from us to better
    himself. Chris Wilder, Eustace, there's plenty out there who are now looking for work and a contract fulfills that.
    Your other questions:

    Let’s sack him the next one comes in only wins 3 games from next 15 would you sack him? No.
    If not why? I would think that was far too early.
    If so what then ? Sorry pal I haven't got a glass ball that goes that far.

    That start to last season kept us up as much as Taylor.

    I don’t want Warne back but crédit due to that start.

    Frog I used to get called a happy clapper for sticking up for Warne.
    I was just stating facts.
    The reality is Warne was more likeable so got cut more slack.
    Performances, tactics results at times awful so what’s the difference?
    I think some of our fan base have become like the wendies.

    So harsh on Hugill when the 'service' was industrial to say the least.
