Getting players in, great.

Getting players to play, useless.

He’s just bloody useless. He’s not going to get better, he needs to go.

Defensive line-up and players out of position(again) against Burton. Pathetic.

It's just so embarrassing for the club, with the positivity of new owners, that we go out to Burton.  Where is the pride in wanting to go to Arsenal in round 3, or Liverpool at home in round 4?  Nah, fuck that, we will go out against lowly Burton.  The side he picked was ok, but where is the professional pride?  If the owners have any sense, they get through Saturday and bin him.  Biggest job he's had for 20 years and he treats it like this?  Fucking disgrace.

Best for him to go now before he buggers up a bigger chunk of the season.

He honestly manages like he couldn't give a fuck now. This year was particularly bad in his personal life - that's awful for him - but he ballsed up the play off final and hasn't looked like he's gotten over it yet. He ought to have been binned a month ago.

Bloody crap. Fed up of bombing out of these cups now. What’s the point?
So we can stumble along in the league trying to keep pace with fucking Leeds and Boro and co?

He ought to have been binned before the team bus even left Wembley on 26th May.

Three years in to his role you'd hope and expect to have a style of play established... players bought for particular roles and when we chop and change the ethos stays the same, the structure of the team is in place, because over a 46+ game season we will need to chop and change.

Then, unbeaten at the start of the season, an away draw against a team a division below - you'd surely want to keep that run going...

Finally, with speculation around your job, unless you are mad or already agreed an exit, you'd want to prove you are the man for the job...

Is any of that wrong? Why Steve?
