I reckon there will be an announcement this afternoon. 

Why would we sack a manager 24 hours before a game when we could've done it on Wednesday.

Morning morning more likely if we lose to Norwich.

It won't be today. I think he will have the next 3 games at least unfortunately...we're going into the end of Lambert days territory where it just dragged on and on as he picked up the occasional win here and there.

Saying that...if Burton beat Blose tonight then we lose to Norwich then we'll be rooted to the bottom of the table so it could happen sooner than expected.

"Is it too early to call this a must win game?"

YES.

His pre-match interview has made me want him gone more than ever.

I'm not going to watch that or I'll throw my tablet at the wall.

We'll win a few, draw the odd game and then go on another horrific losing run.
Just go, go now. Save us the time.

An enlightening press conference. He threw Hogan under a bus and more or less said that we're fucked without Kodjia. Had to turn it off when he talked about battening-down the hatches and sticking with what he believes in.

He's either very sure that he won't get sacked or getting his excuses in early.

Needing to get a result to "shut them up" and laughing off us getting hammered at Cardiff and Reading when we took nearly 10k fans combined to those games to support players you have bought and are responsible for is bordering on a sack-able statement on its own. He is gone. Not even likeable now. Get out.

It's nonsense that people are upset about 1 win in 9 apparently, but 6 of those games don't matter.
