With the money spent and quality we have we should be competing for the title. We are a mile away from being able to finish in the top half with this persistent shite.

Get rid while we still have a chance of making the play offs. It's not too soon to see he's a moron with as much tactical accuman as Sherwood or Lambert. He won't improve and we will suffer.

7 seasons of shit. This one includes garbage results against utter nobodies to rub salt in the wound.

He's taken over a hell of a mess give him a chance.  Beginning to dawn on people we are not as good as we want to believe that's the issue here. Ferguson, Saunders, Clough combined would have struggled

I can't believe anyone thinks we have been anything other than abysmally shit for six years now.

Doesn't explain his tactical shitness which after 8 games is so badly exposed we looked like cannon fodder against such superpowers as Luton Town and Bristol City

We cannot afford to dick about with this. He needs to go asap and get someone in that knows his arse from his elbow. We'll get nowhere under this clown

The Edge, respect.  You may feel less enthusiastic when you are just short of your 80th birthday and trying to dredge up the energy to drive from deepest East Anglia to games home and away to see three wins in a season followed by one win in eight as starters for this one.

Was unsure about him when he joined.  Appears that any doubt I had was justified.

That was my first thought! Probably one of the last to turn last season in February sometime. You cant keep repeating the same excuses, it will take time, we need to gel, we haven't had our best 11 out, we are unlucky, its too soon, don't panic. That is a repeat of everything said the last 6 years, we've outspent the division by a grotesque amount, the manager earns A similar amount to brentfords entire turnover and still makes basic errors that even most on here see a mile off. Every man and his dog knew what was happening the last few games with the formations, we've ended them both looking a total mess on the pitch.

The teams shape is ridiculous as we try to cram in all the attackers we've bought, what happens when adomah and grealish are fit? 3-1-6? Its Keegan amateurish. If man city had spent 10/15x more than most of the league and had 1 win to show they'd pull the trigger, its about standards and expectations, we cant afford to keep lowering ours. I'm confident the good Dr wont though, he's no loser and this shit being churned out wont hold with him. 4-2-4 bloody ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure 8 games is anyway enough time to make a judgement. I'm not happy with results obviously, but I don't think binning the manager off now is the way to go.
RDM has got WBA promoted and MK Dons promoted, so he clearly has understood what to do in the past.
Like I said what happens when a new manager takes over and then he doesn't win for his first three games, do we sack him too?
I'm not saying give RDM forever, but he does need more time than this. If we're having the same conversation in late October/November then maybe it's time to look at options.

Paul with respect that's what we heard with Lambert, look at the job he did under Norwich he knows his stuff. He didn't, we spotted his glaring errors too.

I agree.

Currently we're like a load of hysterical schoolgirls getting all shrill because things aren't going our way from the off.

RDM has (pretty much) an entire new team to get going and into some sort of shape. This division is always the same - any team that goes on a decent run of 5-6 games undefeated is suddenly within a play-off placing. Its way too early too panic.

I'm just glad the internet wasn't around during Sir Graham's poor start.
Every  cloud.

We had the Argus letters page though.

The system could work if he had midfielders who, for sake of argument, weren't Westwood or Gardner. But the midfielders are Westwood and Gardner.
