I've gone with undecided but I think that's probably more to do with not wanting to call for a manager's head so early in the season.

To be honest, if he was sacked tonight, I wouldn't be in the slightest bit bothered. I didn't want him to begin with. I didn't want another British manager for whom it's first and foremost about being 'bang up for it' and tactics are less important than being big and strong and running very fast. I wanted a cerebral manager. The sort of guy who strokes his chin a lot and was nicknamed 'Brains' in his younger days.

I still do.

There have been signs in matches under him, including this season (bar a couple of matches), where we've looked like we're more than capable of doing ok.

It's not even October.

Without getting peoples backs up (and I'm aware the next few words will do this), but how many people wanting him to go have watched us play under him (matches, not highlights)?

I think we've played better this season that at this point last season (and the seasons before that), but presume we're on less points (?). I feel more optimistic now than I did this time last season.

We are already 3 points off survival number that is played 38 points 38. At 4 from 7 in any normal season we will be stranded at the bottom and I am afraid that is where we are heading.

10 points in the first four games gave us a cushion last season. Its the opposite now and as things stand I dont see where the next win is coming from

I always thought, from the day he joined us, that he would probably gone by November.
No real reason why, I just feel Tim Sherwood and Aston Villa are not a good match.

Did you seriously expect us to win away at Anfield today?

I'd expect us to have a go. And I'd expect us to beat Sunderland at home, and to win when 2-0 with 20 mins to go against Leicester.

I'd also expect a better interview after 7 games rather than our aim is to avoid relegation.

He is coming across (to me) as an out of depth chancer.

We're in the shit, the next lot of fixtures are horrible

Stoke
Chelsea
Swansea
Spurs
Man City
Everton

Completely ballsed up the start of the season.
He needs to be getting 6pts from those games...draws or wins from the games in bold. We have to put previous results behind us from last season and this, but if he can't do that then he shouldn't be in the job.

10 points from 12 games since the semi final - extrapolates to 30-32 points over a full season..

6 from those 6 fixtures above would put us on 10 from 13 games this season (3 less than last season, 1 less than QPR after 13 games last season) - I would suggest we need a few more points than 6.

Fair play. We had Benteke to get us out of a hole that night.

I just wanted anyone but Lambert when TS was appointed. Now reality has hit home I want him gone and quickly

He's regressed into a clone of  the managers we have had in the last 4 seasons, it must be something in the water
They all start off promising this progressive entertaining attacking football, and in Sherwoods case he did just that last season,

then they throw it all out and begin with the shit negative formations, I just don't get it

The first change today was made when we were 2 goals down and playing crap, it's not good enough, we even managed a couple of goals when we went forward for a bit, so who knows

my one fear is Big Sam, I would rather go down
It's like living on the streets and the better option being the workhouse, at least you get fed and watered there, but it's a soul destroying existence

FFS.



That interview is a bag of bollocks as well, at no point was writing this season off as another learning curve for everyone mentioned. PLus we've been here before, we smell bullshit now, it's like a second language to us having heard so much of it pretty much all of this decade and boy is he talking bullshit right now.



Actually he kind of promised this would not happen again

We wont have double figures in points after those games

I'll hold my hands up and say I never wanted him, purely because I thought hes was all about enthusiasm and confidence with nothing behind it.

I warmed to him over the first 3 months with the signs that there might be a tactical brain behind bluster, peaking with the Liverpool semi-final.

Everything that's happened since the Southampton debacle has suggested that he really is all piss and wind.

The performances, let alone the results have been largely crap, with no real sign of improving, apart from Leicester where he managed to convert what should have been a comfortable win into a dispiriting defeat.

And now he's started hanging the players out to dry in a way that I don't remember even Lambert doing.

Chancer might be giving him too much credit.
