What's most disappointing for me isn't so much the results, it's the performances. Every game it seems the same, play for a 0-0 and hope we nick one. It's not what you promised us Dean.

Should have gone in January. He’s taking us down with zero fight. An awful manager.
I think he should've gone in December after Sheffield United and Southampton. There was another opportunity in January after Man City and certainly in March after the debacles at Southampton and Leicester.

I think his association with the club has probably afforded him more time than anyone else would have had and possibly too many fans were happy to give him more time, which we didn't have. Unfortunately, it hadn't been working for months before lockdown.

All the credit he had for getting us up is evaporating.

Have I imagined it or did Smith say something earlier in the season that essentially suggested he didn’t expect to get anything against the games against the bigger clubs? If so our performances against reek of having zero confidence and an expectation of failure.

Why does every single manager get ruined by us?

I had massive hopes for Deano, JT etc. Brentford had always mullered us, they were quick, incisive and always pressed the action.

Now with the same manager, we’re pedestrian, defensive and cowardly. We have no leaders and look like several players have jumped ship already.

I’m gutted, but have to be honest, if Steve Bruce has served that up, we’d rightly be slaughtering him. Deano has to accept that was appalling.

Why is he still here? P45 and one more for Suso.

Clueless. If he's in charge over the next 8 games (well, just the very next game probably), we're down. Big Sam is the only cure to our current predicament I'm afraid

I think it’s probably too late to save us now but personally I’d like to see him go now. I can’t stand watching his team any longer. Let’s at least go down fighting.

1 point from 18. 3 months to get ready again and we look just as shit now as we did in March.

I have a worrying feeling that we’ll keep him on irrespective of what happens.

If we go down and play the final 8 games like we have the last half a dozen then as much as I like DS and want him to succeed there's no chance i'd be keeping him.

I've seen nothing from Appleyard to suggest he's any good as a coach or would make any difference. He does fuck all during the games that i've seen.
