    RVN is available, done nothing wrong at United.

    I’ve never known anyone lose the ball as much as Koleosho and my Cat is physically stronger than Anthony…

    To be honest though, I just can’t see Parker lasting as our manager very long. He may have got a stay of execution with Sunday’s lucky win. But it’s been absolutely awful to watch so far, if it carries on I can’t see anyone wanting to pay good money to watch it
    Like everything in life it has to be now doesn’t it.

    Parker deserves a little bit of patience I think tbf to him,

    We’re 4th in the league and not playing particularly well granted - however that where we are.

    You don’t have to go back very far to look at us playing the same way week in week out year in year out and yet no one would have a word said wrong about that would they.

    I’m prepared to see where it takes us tbh I think Parker was dealt a **** card and he may surprise a few yet before the hierarchy swing the axe.

    Let’s give the lad a chance eh we aren’t even a third of the games in yet and there’s along way to go.

    IMHO it would be bonkers to sack him. He's doing OK with only half a dozen better than decent players.

    Alan Pace is not daft, he won't be even thinking about replacing him.

    Army you keep reiterating the same thing but i agree with you, he needs to be given a chance. whether its Jrod as an interim striker, waiting for foster or someone new we have the makings of a good team and personally I think koleosho is part of it,.

    He's not loaded either, he can't afford to replace him.

    Well said Alf.He is yet another square pin in a round hole.He is not the manager we wanted or need and the sooner he goes the better before we are back to gates of 12k on the Turf to watch this dross.That is the reality-like it or not.One thing Pace will not want is dross being served up to his potential wider audience.

    I put it Chris because footballs not how these lot preach it - sometimes it takes the smallest of things to
    Change everything - Foster must be frustrated as injuries have knocked him back yet again but to most on here he’s a light weight sick note.

    I’ve posted before aswell like everything in life it has to be now this instant - new players turn up and are expected to fit seamlessly into the perfect system that steamrollers all other teams and managers with their own philosophy on how to win the game.

    Reality 2 seasons back we were spoilt VK got an eclectic mix of Buys and loans and they absolutely clicked early doors and it made games an expected win - the forgotten bit is there are very few of those players here and the manager ( new ) is building from scratch - we’re 4th and for me he’s not doing badly at this time ( I accept it’s not the football of 2 seasons back ).

    For me anyway I think the manager should be afforded some time before we all go for the pitch forks to burn him at dawn - 10 weeks ago he had literally no team and players who didn’t want to play for him and left / or were leaving - patience is required I think that’s all.

    No patience on here army only patients. Parker was dealt a poor hand but has done reasonably well so far and certainly deserves more time. Again I think the January window will be crucial.

    If it gets to Xmas and there is no sign of improvement, would you really give Parker more money to play with in a transfer window?

    I hope it picks up because I genuinely hate manager turnover. But surely Pace will not accept what we are currently seeing.
