January targets for me would be:
1. Score some goals
2. Stop conceding goals
3. Win some games.

😜
Is that realistic though?

I think sort out 1 and 2 then we get 3 sorted & climb out the relegation zone.
Realistic or pipe dream I have no idea!

Sacking another manager isn't the answer. Garde was the wrong appointment, but that's not his fault and its getting to the stage now that we just have to stick with what we have and stick it out.  The hope is that we get a few key players in to make a difference in Jan, but its going to be hard to attract much quality.

Is anyone actually suggesting that he should be sacked? It's also way too early to make a definitive judgement on whether he's been a good appointment or not.

I can't see anyone on this page suggesting that Remi be placed on Garde-ning Leave. Has someone misread Brian Taylor's post or have I missed a post somewhere?

Sacking Garde is precisely the opposite of everything we should be doing. He needs to be backed, he needs to be able to implement a sustainable playing style and system throughout the club. If that includes relegation so be it, because this problem might take longer to fix than the time he has to keep us up.

Yep, and it's not good but other teams didn't give up, why should we?

Its not giving up but whilst you rely on faith and hope I think the pure plain cold facts suggest winning 5 out of 10 looks well beyond us. That, is the plain and simple, "why not".

Maybe it does, but it could still happen. It's about having belief. You may not have any, but some of us still have.

Sack Garde? We're on a run of 2 pts from 4 games under him, which this season is a good run for us.
