Steve Clarke hasn't covered himself in glory either, he's supposed to be the defensive guru isn't he? We have conceded some pretty poor goals against some pretty poor teams, over and fucking over again.

We have won as many games as Rotherham FFS.
Dean Smith been suggested and think that's a great shout. A villa lad who knows the score. Done great jobs at Walsall and Brentford to date.

The bad stats are stats are starting to break out again.

Only because Warnock isn't there anymore, otherwise they'd be well clear of us.

Well I'm so smart that I brought up a guy who wasn't even a hypnotist because he had 'mesmer' in his name. Ah well.

Anyway, Neil Warnock. Big Sam. Steve Bruce. Tony Pulis, presumably, at some point. In fact, I'd put money on someone saying of Pearson's sacking for losing his temper 'at least it shows he'd lay into the team' or something like that. Really, dear God, anything but this.

Judging by what the Telegraph are claiming you've got to think some of those are going to be caught up in the sting so wouldn't be approaching some of those for a while...

I'd give Clarke a go for a few weeks while the club identifies a proper candidate from somewhere if/when RDM is shown the door.

He's got to go. I checked the score. We were 1-0 up. I text my mate and said that 100% nailed on, we would throw the game away in the last five minutes. I told him to put his mortgage on it. It's just an inevitability with us. I like RDM but if we make the same mistakes time and time again, and he makes poor tactical decisions every single game, then he has to pay the price. Load one in the chamber and give him the bullet.

Smith is a good shout but I'm hoping RDM can turn the draws into wins.

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

As much as I don't think he's that good a manager (particularly when he actually gets given cash to improve the team which this owner isn't shy of) Steve Bruce with what 4 promotions in the last 15 years with various clubs simply has to be respected so he would be a strong candidate if he doesn't get another prem job.

I want to give RDM more time, but that should be contingent on seeing improvements week-on-week. Sadly, it's not happening for him, Clarke and Bond. I don't want Bruce or Pearson, but maybe someone could head round to Fat Sam's house with a brown paper bag and get him on board. You know it's getting desperate when Fat Sam is the answer...but he hasn't always been dull and dour, Bolton played some nice stuff once upon a time.

We're approaching a quarter of the season gone and we're currently 2 points above 23rd. Something has to change and soon.

How about adding out of our last 50 league games we've won 4.

I'd love us to appoint Johnson from Bristol City.

I think the defeat like nature of these draws mean Preston is a must win for RDM now. This cannot go on.
