Do you have ANY faith left in McLeish ?

[VillaAlways]

They’re talking about us on talksport drive time in a bit. Asking if AM is taking us down?

Oh goody!! No doubt it will be all the fans fault

[villanic]

Wow! Didn’t no that we are 1 point worse of that the noses where last season at this stage.

Every time I hear things like this it makes me wonder more and more how he has got a job.

[Shrek]

Can anbody find out what the table was this time last year, because I think our saving grace will be the likes of Wolves, Bolton & Blackburn being even worse.

I do know blues finished on 39 points, that would see us safe, but will we win 2 more games? (how fucking depressing is that last sentence.)

I think Wolves are worse but I think Bolton and Blackburn will pick up points between now and the end of the season and like you say will we win 2 more games this season.

You are right though its starting to get really depressing saying things like that.

[The Left Side]

Er... No!

[D.boy]

Like others I wanted to give McLeish a chance. I now feel that we have been on a downward spiral and nothing seems to have been done to address it. As a manager who used to play in defence, nothing seems to have been done to rectify our poor defence, the match tactics leave us scratching our heads or pulling our hair out, players repeatedly played out of position, motivating players seems non existant, post match interviews are bizarre and the guy looks like a rabbit in the headlights who doesn't know what to do next.
I couldn't care less where he came from but I have had enough now.

[atomicjam]

I have no faith in AM. He is not good enough to manage a team at this level. I see him relegating us, if not this season then next.

[woody4866]

I think the question should be directed to the players because if they dont we are well and truly fooked

I read somewhere that when he took SH down, the players were disgruntled and not happy, and looking at our players at the moment, I think the same can be said of them

As for me - No, never did and never will - if we stay up I fear we shall be having this conversation this time next year

Here you go

What's scary is how Blues went from this position....

...to this

Five points clear with five games to go, and a massively superior goal difference.  Be afraid, be very afraid.

[JUAN PABLO]

15 wins in 68 games in the last two seasons.   Its a no brainer .

[ozzjim]

Really not pretty reading is it!? How on earth are our board not acting? It is beyond incompetent.

Here's how it looked on April 16th 2011 so basically a couple of games on from now:

14 Birmingham Played 32 Points - 38
15 Sunderland  Played 33 Points - 38
16 Blackburn    Played 33 Points - 35
17 Wigan         Played 33 Points - 34
18 Blackpool    Played 33 Points - 33
19 West Ham   Played 33 Points - 32
20 Wolverhampton  Played 32 Points - 32

Points of note... we will struggle to match their 32 game points tally given our next two fixtures. They were 5 points clear of the drop in mid April, we are currently also 5 points clear but based on the fixtures of the clubs involved we are likely to be closer by the 16th. I am very, very worried. We have a game in hand but so did Blues in Mid-April.

It was beyond incompetent to employ the Pratt

I can barely look, I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

I have always said he has to be given time.
 
I do feel it was the wrong move by Randy, an unpopular choice with very little chance of success given the constraints he'd have to work under.
But, he still came, despite all the constraints, that took some balls. And I feel that is the reason why he must be given time, not endless, but he must have the chance to build his team and not be expected to be using MO'Ns players 5 years on.
Personally I'd say until Christmas next season. By then his team should be in place and if we're struggling then maybe that will be the time for Randy to decide.

This.
