How many more games and bad performances do you think it'll take for the fans to really turn on Eck?

Not too many, I wouldn't have thought. I tend to be on the more upbeat side of things (no, really!) but I'm afraid I have next to no faith in his ability to improve us. Not helped by the current support of the board, to be fair, but we have the players to be doing better than this and in my opinion he is completely failing to make the best of them.

We are boring to watch, devoid of any creativity or imagination (or at least, what there is stays sat on the bench) and lack any kind of obvious purpose beyond 'try and not lose' (as opposed to 'try and win'). I am not filled with hope.

At times when we do get the ball, we look like a useful side.

yep we Play it through midfield 3 times a game and look good.
Then go back to sky ball.

[TheSandman]

When's Lichaj fit?

[Compass]

If we didn't have Gabby we would be bottom 3 for sure.

[Ross]

Christ, can anyone in out team retain possession?

And as for  Delph, I  keep being told that he will be as good as Steven Gerrard, but on the 20 or so times I have seen him now, I think he isn't even good enough for the Championship.  Hugely average player who we paid what £8M for??!!

I can't see how McCleish can moan about the players if he picks the useless lumps.

Good job Swansea are so powerpuff in the final third.

[Apyadg]

On the bright side, as bad as we are, Swansea don't really look like scoring either, and what more could we want from an away game than a 0-0 draw.

You mean they haven't already?

I mean at the level of Blackburn fans to Steve "New Contact?!" Kean.

Brilliant stuff between Heskey and Hutton there...why can AM see that Heskey has one use and that's as a destructive forward...

[CJ]

A big FFS from big 'Eck.  SO FUCKING CHANGE IT

[Martyn Smith]

3 yellows already...desperate...

[Toronto Villa]

AM going mental at Heskey and Hutton about not keeping the ball. Note to Alex - pick players who can keep the ball.
