It's been poor. Results have turned now we've started gifting soft as shit goals away again, the standard of football is terrible and the money spent is staggering. Some of his selections are dodgy to say the least.

This squad of players in this division should need minimum management. If we can't win our next two games with the squad we now have he as no excuse.

My issue is that we havent had a settled line up, bizarre tactics, no fight and shit fitness

having a well drilled side costs fuck all

Let's be honest even when we were winning we weren't playing well. I said once the luck ran out the wins would dry up.

I'd give him 8-10 games next season. Top four and playing much better and more attractive football or he's gone.

The next time three games are key.  Poor results and he is toast.   I would get Rowett in.

Brighton away, and we didn't even win that. That's your lot.

I thought we were the better side personally. Hogan, Chester and Ephick all had decent chances. It's not as if we were shit.

Now he's brought in his own players, it's his chance to.

I think we're in the minority because I thought we should have won. Yeah they had more possession, but they're st home so that was to be expected. We made more clear cut chances and should have put them away and won the game.

I don't want him sacked yet but it's clear his streak of wins was more luck than judgment. I haven't seen much evidence that he's an upgrade on RDM and the football is ugly as sin.

So for the 16 odd games previously why didnt he?

has our fitness got any better? No
does our defence look better? No
do we work throw ins any better? No
have we got more fight and passion? No

Agree with this. Rowett may have less experience but I think he'd get more out of these players.

I am/was a Bruce fan, but to say anything other than the football under him has been crap and the results not much better would be a lie.
