We battered Forest all game. They had two shots and got a point. Much like Huddersfield, if we'd won 4 or 5, nobody would have complained their end.

Which is exactly the problem.

It never actually happens.

I'm so bored of all this "should have" "could have" bullshit. We need to start actually fucking doing it if we've got plans to advance from the bottom third of the Championship

Inevitable, the performances show no sign of improving either.

His last three team selections have been Sherwood esque. Don't think he will last a poor result at Barnsley tomorrow

I don't disagree with that.

If we're going down the road of ex-Blues managers, I would prefer Chris Hughton.

I'm not convinced that Dr Tony is really a Steve Bruce sort of guy.

And if allardyce goes Mr Bruce will probably get the England gig.

I'd rather we steered well clear of anyone with Small Heath connections.

I know. Seems  harsh but 2 bad away showings and he might be in trouble. I've just got a feeling that it won't happen because we'll get the wins.

he deserves to be under pressure - one win is unpardonable given the resources we have. Get rid .

I'm not at all convinced by RDM yet

I just don't want the Xia regime to be one where we sack managers after a dozen games and having given them £50m

It just doesn't feel like the sort of platform we need to succeed

Plus, who comes in? Bruce? Do we take a chance on the guy from Huddersfield? The other main candidates in the summer we're Moyes and Pearson . . .

Whilst his selection and tactics have been bizarre, I'd give him till early December - there has been a big overhaul after 5 years of chaos and 2 months is an insult.

the results so far are the only insult after massive investment
