Our bad spell has been 3 draws, a defeat and a win.

For all the angst, very few will care about the cup in a few days never mind a few weeks.

That depends on what our next few results and performances are like.

Fancy us for 6 points against Wigan and Ipswich regardless.

Reinforcements and confidence back, then Reading, Super Jack and Februrary awaits.

I admire your confidence ....and agree about reinforcements but I can't help but thinking that part of our "problem" is the over reliance on one individual I.e Grealish
Strong teams get out of this league not teams reliant on one player, no matter how talented  he may be
I've heard he may be fit for Wigan though

Mildly disconcerting that he didn't speak/wasn't asked about Abraham staying.

I wouldn't worry about that, it's probably just playing it safe in case something changes before the 14th.

Dean, this is unacceptable. You need to start showing you can actually address the issues you’re identifying as not working.

2 of our 3 subs were a CH and a DM, while losing 1-0 away to a side that had won 1 in 14. Zero fucking shots in the second half. I like Dean Smith but this currently isn't good enough, nowhere fucking near good enough.

I'm getting the impression that this guy is seriously out of his depth.

Yep I agree and Whelan does another cracking job. Time is up on goodwill now, we look a fucking shambles.

1 win in 7 now I think?

Sort it deano or the fact you're "one of us" won't matter to the fans anymore

Like an addict who can't perform without their chosen stimulant, we need to lose Greslish and start again.

A manager that plays Glen Whelan. It's hard to respect such a manager.

There was far too many people over excited, on here, during  Smiths early days  and now the same people are going to slaughter him. We just need to stay calm  and let the man do his job. Just look at how Norwich have  benefitted from Farke's second season after he made a fairly dismal start last season.
