Dr T has pulled the trigger

[David_Nab]

Chose to spend over 30mil on Attackers but 8 mil on midfielders one who is seemingly constantly injured leaving us with a CM choice of Westwood ,Gardner ,Jedinek .
So to get round the lack of quality in CM he plays 4 attackers ..Jesus wept ..it's shocking

Honestly if you were the manager and was given 50mil to spend can you envisage a situation where Westwood is still an option in a 2 man midfield !!!

Before he was appointed I said Rowlett and I'm standing by that , if going experience route then Bruce is obvious candidate

[The Edge]

For christs sake give the bloke a chance, to say he is under pressure 7 games in is ridiculous. We are unbeaten at home. We signed 9 players in the window it will take time to get this right and restore confidence - if we dont win saturday sack him then.

I do hope your tongue is stuck firmly in your cheek

I'd give him the season personally, unless of course we do start to struggle. Sacking a manager 7 games in after giving him all that money would be embarrassing.

Surely 1 win in 8 is struggling?

Of course it is
.
Even more so when you consider the opposition, including Luton !!!!

No, that's a good run for us.

[Dave Cooper please]

Sack him for me.so long and thanks for all the players who should walk a top five place in this league at least but now lets get a manager in who actually has the tactical nous to get them playing like a top five team.

Apart from Bristol City second half, I actually think we have been unlucky this season.

Wednesday - Ross should have put us one up - different game

Rotherham - we beat a poor team to be honest

Huddersfield - should have had the three points sown up.

Derby - a point was just about right

Bristol City - first 50 mins we were good - after that we went to pieces

Nottingham Forest - We couldn't have done much more

Tonight - we should have gone out second half in a much more positive manner but should still have taken the 3 points

People are not mentioning a crowd favourite Tommy Elphick he is very average.

Ian Holloway or Iain Dowie.

Newcastle game could easily be tipping point for Dr Tony.

Can see Ipswich game being another draw...and then losing to Newcastle and them being miles clear of us might be too much.

[aj2k77]

And if that's the case, 8 pts from 9 games then honestly he'd deserve the sack because when you spend that much in this division there's no room for stability talk and transition excuses you should be up there and dismantling some teams.

We're the equivalent of Man City at this level. The leagues still shaking itself out at this stage but in a couple of games if it's settled down with us in the bottom five then I think that will be that for RDM.

When Kodjia scored earlier I was thinking what a nice change it was to be excited about our new signings and feeling quite positive about the season ahead, now it's back to the cycle of thinking about sacking the manager. I am so tired of it all.

[SoccerHQ]

Why not be ruthless?

For last 5 years we've had Lerner drifting between decisions...shall we sack Lambert shall we not...maybe next season will be better....and it isn't. Things just got worse and worse until the inevitable.

I'm not saying be like Leeds and sack a manager every 6 games but the table is still young...there's still over 100 points to play for.

At least getting in a new manager would guarantee we'd win a game or two at least.

To only have 1 win in 7 is very poor. If we'd kept last seasons squad and not signed anyone they could've probably managed a win this season.

[Nelly]

Yeah, no more rewarding mediocrity.
