Dr T has pulled the trigger

[SoccerHQ]

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

Can someone pull the trigger and put this clueless goon out of his misery.

[PeterWithesShin]

Won't somebody please make it stop.

Even a draw and I think he's got to go.

Westwood on.     Roberto on his bike. 

[ozzjim]

Fuck me.

It is one thing to lose goals late a couple of times. But 5 times is farcical in 10 games. No confidence in him making the decisions to see it through. Why not try getting a centre half on for Grealish and just blocking it up FFS?

[saunders_heroes]

Who is the alternative to RDM then? I'm sick to death of these shitty results.

[pauliewalnuts]

Absolutely not good enough.

Get rid, now.

[Jon Crofts]

Please get rid of this mug. That's all.

Do you see how the table might not tell the full story depending on what time of year you are looking at it?

It's why the FA weren't presenting us with the trophy when we were top at Christmas under Gregory a years back and we didn't sack O'Neill when he was down towards the arse end of the table in his first season (and after spending shitloads -relative to the time).

But we're in the Championship now Kevin.. struggling to score goals, having a tough time seeing out games, unsure of who our best XI are, and still committing  defensive errors. 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.

So about that circus..

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

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

So we don't score, and we do concede. Whichever form of football you want to see, it's not happening. Unless you like clown football, in which case knock yourself out.

[PeterWithesShin]

Another game against a shit side where we weren't good enough to win. We played well for about 20 mins today.

[cdbearsfan]

One game left to win or he has to go.

I'd appoint Rowett or even, and I hate myself for suggesting this, Neil Warnock.

[Steve67]

Late goals in 50% of our games. 2 points off second from bottom. Nearly a quarter of the season gone. 50mill spent. 10 points. Crap. I didn't want him in the first place but wasn't really in the RDM out club either. However, this is tripe. The fans deserve so much better.  RDM seems to lack motivational skills and an ability to see things coming. Nothing but a win at Preston will do.
