Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Malandro]

Get rid. The sooner we can get somebody else in who we will then also want to get rid of the better. 

If we do it soon enough the new man's successor might have a chance in the January window

[Louzie0]

We are not a club that sacks in September.

[Malandro]

We are not a club that sacks in September.

I hope so.

[john e]

I'm not saying the day won't come when we will need to see the back of him
But we would be a laughing stock if we fired him this early into the season, absolute laughing stock, knee jerk doesn't even begin to cover it

Can you imagine letting Sherwood go after 6 games and bringing Sam Alardyce in, you might as well put the Big Top over the ground and have done with it

we might be used to people laughing at our expense more than we wish, but we shouldn't be encouraging it

It's says a lot about Sherwood that one comment has seen him go from needing to improve the form amidst growing mumblings to provoking fans anger and now needing to beat Stoke otherwise I think the crowd will turn on Saturday. We may well win on Saturday and if he had not said what he did on MOTD it would be accepted. Now, a win against Stoke will simply buy him another game.

I think the results have more to do with it. His comments are just bizarre.

[OzVilla]

He'll be given time and he deserves more time but I'm very worried about his overall performance so far this season and his bizarre, revisionist post match comments just scream chancer.

What he certainly won't get is the amount of patience from the terraces that Lambert got imo, we stuck with Lambert for way longer than he deserved and that's left a residue of suspicion of novice managers who talk bollocks.

I think the Board will back him for as long as they can get away with it as they won't have a plan B, they'll just cross their fingers and hope for the best - same as usual.

I expect Christmas will be the potential killing season unless there's improvement.

[Gregorys Boy]

Was never a fan of the appointment, but no I think it would be too soon.  Having backed him with considerable money we now have to give him the season or at least most of it.  See where we are around Christmas time.

[KRS]

I'm sure word of unhappy fans will reach TS via the media, so I wonder if they'll be any back tracking from his post game comments during the week.

[mr underhill]

Sherwood's had more than six games though. No team has lost more games in 2015 than us. I like Tim but his record isn't that good and he's beginning to morph into the guy he replaced. Which is bad.

[VicMackey]

I think he needs to be given a bit more time but he should pull his act together pretty sharpish.  The squad is probably stronger than last season but he doesn't seem to know his strongest team and fails to drop certain players who are under-performing. 

Unfortunately, I think things will get worse before they get better.  If it wasn't for the incompetence being shown in the North East we would be rock bottom.

[Mr Diggles]

The club's current malaise can't be put down to one man. He has always said it will take time, and having brought his own players in now needs that time. To make judgements about the team so early in the season is not helpfully. Besides which there have been real signs of improvement. For 60 minutes we looked comfortable against a Leicester team who are doing well. We have scored against quite a few teams we would have struggled to last year. Our better new players have been in and out of the team due to injury so we have struggled for consistency and a rythym from one game to the next.

I think there is more case for optimism at present and it's likely that the past 5 years is casting a long shadow over what Sherwood does at the moment. We should back him until it's obvious we are going down without a change, but I don't think it will come to that this season personally.

[OzVilla]

  The squad is probably stronger than last season but he doesn't seem to know his strongest team and fails to drop certain players who are under-performing. 

This is it for me also.  I don't yet expect him to necessarily know his best team, we've had a large player turnover,  but to still believe that both Gabby and Westwood are in it is a major worry.

The managers comments in interviews are not something that concern the wider fraternity of support. They're something that is poured over online because we need something to occupy us. It's the results that get the heckles up and the manner of them.

What a manager says in public and then in private are two different things and the only time I can recall comments generating the ire of the many was O'Leary who made an art form out of ridiculous denigration. If I were to say "we go again" to a non-forum using family member they'd go "huh?", whereas you all would know who I am referring to.

[Steve kirk]

I voted no but if we are stuck on 5/6 points after 10 games it would change to a yes as that would probably mean we would already be 5/6 points behind the club in 17th, we couldent let that situation continue, its all very well saying give Tim till Xmas but we could be bottom and terminal by then, next 3 games absolutely vital for Tim and Villa, we simply have to beat Stoke.
