Got to win tonight given the results today and the momentum the other teams are showing.

P45 time if anything other than 3 points.

lose the next two and it's going to be hard for  Dr T to keep him, imo.

Win the next two and people still won't be convinced.

Being realistic, should they be? It'll take more than a couple of wins to convince me that he's capable, as it would be more than just the two losses to lead me to thinking he's not up to it.

True, but it'll be ever-unconvincing if he doesn't.

Really don't see him being manager this time next week if we don't come up with some wins.

Start of the season could be argued as it was still early days, we are halfway through now and drifting down the league.

With FA cup they'd be a 10 day league break so would be a time to make a change.

7 wins on the trot and I'll give him a stay of execution.

If there was any chance of him not being our manager next week, surely they wouldn't have just - ie days ago - appointed his man as first team coach?

This is the Villa we are talking about.  Nothing should surprise us.

Bruces last throw of the dice maybe?

Well as a club albeit under different management Timmy watched with the Fox in the box as his soon to become predecessor splashed around below.

We could win five on the trot and I wouldn't be convinced.

Yo tambien.

Seven wins on the trot would mean 4 defeats and three draws soon after.
