This is diabolical....if we lose on Saturday I reckon he'll be moved out with the two week break coming up.

All post-spending 50m, recruiting captains and those with promotion experience. It's just not good enough. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this league is not as tough as some people are convincing themselves. The individual quality is very low and the collective squad quality in the league is mediocre at best. I don't have the patience for this anymore. I don't buy the "gel" excuse. Get some wins. I think we look like a team that deserves the 9 points it's collected over 9 games. That was my original point. That first half against Newcastle was just awful. There are aspects of Di Matteo's management to-date that have been suspect. The formations, not signing better than Westwood, playing Championship Fantasy Football when it comes to purchases, picking Westwood and so on and so on. But we will look like an absolute circus if we get rid now. Give him every reasonable chance to succeed (or fail) after making that level of finance available. There is a decent argument to be made that our performances to date have merited more points. If the performance levels dip n'all (and the longer we go without a win, I'd say that's a given) he's in trouble.

17th in the Championship. One win. Only four teams have scored fewer goals than us.
