Dr T has pulled the trigger

[PaulWinch again]

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

Yep agreed and the 'actually fucking doing it' needs to start tonight.

[VillaAlways]

If we don't win one of the next two he will be gone imo.

Xia  will be comparing RDM  to the likes of Gary Monk at Leeds who after a ropey start has won 4 on the bounce.

I know it's only been a few weeks but not winning one of the next two will be unacceptable

[Gareth]

I would say on the basis that the Allardyce saga is going to implicate other managers I'd steer clear of his best mate....

It's correct that RDM should be feeling the heat as we are nearly at a quarter of the season & we are still grinding draws at best not wins....he needs a big few days now & the heat goes away.  Adomah at wing back & Bacuna in midfield will not endear him...

[phantom limb]

It's definitely put up or shut up time, we simply haven't been good enough. Lose or draw tonight and he'll be under immense pressure.

[DB]

Guardian and Independent both reporting he will get the sack if we do not win this week. For what it's worth.

If it goes to 1 win in 12 I don't think he could have many complaints.

[in exile]

God knows who we'll end up with...Ryan Giggs anyone?

[garyshawsknee]

I would mind the chap who just got fired from Watford. Or even the chap he replaced who's now at Fulham.

[Clampy]

I'd still stick with him for as long as possible personally. I don't think we're that far away from a few wins which could change everything.

[not3bad]

I think they'll go for someone with experience in this division again.

Step up Ian Holloway.

[AVH87]

To be honest, a draw and a loss out of the next 2 games, or even 2 draws, would be unacceptable.

That would leave us on 10 or 11 points after 11 games with a record of W1 D8 L2 or even worse W1 D7 L3.

[sid1964]

If we don't win either of the next 2 games he will be gone

IF he does get the sack, then I hope that we appoint a top class manager, not the average joes who have been in the job for the last 5-6 seasons!

[Duncan Shaw]

Its wierd isn't it, I think it's utterly ridiculous that we are discussing sacking a manager after less than two months who is trying to gel a new side.  However, the results aren't good and we're slipping behind. 

I keep thinking, well the football from nearly everyone in this league I have seen is utterly shite, so once we get a run going we'll smash it up the table, but it doesn't look like starting. 

I was speaking to an old mate at the weekend who's a Wolves fan, and he said if we get too much further behind we'll never make it up, its a funny league like that from his experience.  So we have a situation where we almost look like a good side in a poor league, where you should be able to climb the table quickly when it clicks as a good side - but you can't, because there is something "about" this league that no-one can explain that makes it so fucking difficult!

[JUAN PABLO]

I think they'll go for someone with experience in this division again.

Step up Ian Holloway.

Mancini

[AVH87]

If we do make a change in the International break, we should avoid our usual plan of only looking for the long-term unemployed (RDM, Garde, Sherwood), and actually entice the manager we want from abroad or wherever, money talks.
