Well I wouldn't sack him in 5 games time if he wins 4 and draws 1 of them.

I like him, Aftab mate. I don't like our last few minutes capitulations, however. I think the players need to take a bit more responsibity, to be fair. Elphick and Jedinak in particular.

He has become yet another failed appointment in our long catalogue of disastrous managers. It's time for our new owner to recognise that RDM's association with a fully formed European Championship team allowed him a CV that well oversold his underlying competence.  Let's also discount the Albion promotion. A fairly good team that didn't need much input from him. With an unformed team there is no room for hands off leadership and from what I see of Roberto on the sidelines, he is very hands off. Time for a manager who gets in there, mixes it up with the players and provides some role modeling. Without this type of leadership we will be lucky to finish in the top half of this division

Morning Nik. I called out   Elphick for what he is, shit, during the Brentford game  and some people around me didn't like it. But he is however both him and Jedinak were signed by RDM.

The players do have some responsibility here, however they can't be changed (until January at least) so RDM has to go!

The guy is completely inept in every area;

Tactics - poor/bizarre
Style of play - confused/non existent
PR - shocking (see pre Barnsley presser re hitting top gear)
Enthusiasm - none
Passion - none (see half hearted celebration of Tshibola equaliser)
Desire - none
Transfers - unbalanced
Training - what training (no improvement week on week)

No wonder the players are under performing when you have a guy in charge who is so underwhelming!

Don't wait until after Preston, do it now, and use international break to replace him!

No idea. Honestly I dont know what the problem is at our club. I actually think he is a pretty fine manager caught up in whatever the hell is wrong with us.

Then again he is the only part of the equation we CAN change today, so... sure. Why not? What do we have to lose?

Tactically he has gone from a side from that created loads of chances per game, missed most of them and conceded late, to a side that creates next to nothing, scores one and concedes late. The natural progression will be the side that creates nothing and concedes late. For me sack him before the season is completely lost.

As I've said, not winning when well on top and creating chances hasn't allowed any margin for error when we hit a bad run and don't create chances.  Now the chances are drying up so you can work out the rest. 

I think this season is already finished for any chance of automatic promotion - let's be frank 3 wins in 47 just isn't going to turn in to 26 wins in 36 which is what we'd need so I think we're only looking at play offs already.

I think the weekend is his first must win game, lose or draw (especially to a late equalizer) and he's gone I think.  Failing that a good run staves off sacking but it'll need to be a bloody good run now including winning at Blose.  I can't see it now.  Gone sometime between Sunday and Bonfire night depending of the Dr's patience.

I'd give him until Xmas, and if we aren't within 6 points of the play offs I'd walk him round Doug's rose garden.

I'd just like photographic evidence he actually speaks to Steve Clarke. I can't believe between the two of them they are so dumb.

Saying that, I expect one to be gone before Xmas. Which one, I have no idea.

Whichever way you look at it whoever the manager is one win in eleven gives the club owner at any club ample proof that he should make a change.
