Give the manager more time

[Woodypie]

He's here until at least the end of the season whether you like it or not.

Well that clearly shows our club isn't in safe hands, doesn't it?

Look just accept a mistake has been made and bring someone new in.

[BigFatPie]

No, seen enough. The defensive issues are the defensive issues, and he hasn’t done anything about them, but not only that we’ve got no coherence, there’s no pattern to our play anymore, we don’t attack with anything like the conviction we used to, the interviews are lifeless and boring, the pitch side demeanour is uninspiring, his in game changes are nothing short of mystifying, he’s brought nothing bless him.

The club was in such a great place 3-4 months ago and it’s in danger of being completely wasted. This season has gone, thankfully we’re probably just safe from relegation, but we need something and someone to get us up for next season.

Time will tell.

The current owners aren't in the habit of making emotional decisions based on a relatively small sample size of results, and although that patient approach certainly doesn't guarantee that a later/slower decision will always be the better one, their track record so far has been more encouraging than their predecessors.

Trew and Hardy (and other owners after Pavis) made several early/fast decisions on managers but left the club in a worse position than they inherited it, so a case certainly hasn't been made (consistently) for the early dismissal approach.

Absolute nonsense reffering to previuos owners,we all saw tonight that it was a shambles ,please lets start again with someone new.

How long before we hear "Get out of our club"?

Already sadly missing Sidders' spelling and grammar checks!

Irrelevent re spelling mistakes ,i just want my club to be doing better .A new manager may achieve that because the current one certainly wont.

[Smigpie]

He lost the game taking O’Brien off who was bossing the midfield and he made it look effortless. Don’t tell me it was because he’d been booked or he was saving him for Saturday because he looked as fresh as a daisy. We then played without a midfield for the remainder of the game and I’m sorry but Austin is so out his depth at this level and he’s not the only one. I will reserve judgement on the manager but it’s not looking good.

Spot on. No way our owners will make a decision at this point. They'll need to see more to be absolutely certain of the next move. Right now, sacking a manager after six weeks would probably be more damaging to the club's reputation and finances than sticking with him. There's still a chance he'll turn this run around.

We need calm heads right now, not emotional ones. Our current failings aren't down to one man. Yes, he might not be the right coach to lead us forward long term, but sacking him won't instantly solve the recruitment blunders and clear issues we have in the squad. It will cause more upheaval and instability, however. I'd give him more time. We're aren't going up or down this season, so there's no reason to rush into hasty decisions.
