I envy those who can envisage progress under this Manager because I can't see it all.
The issue is that it wasn't terrible today but it wasn't good either and it's just groundhog day in terms of selection and tactics for almost every game.

It's just a matter of time, and that as far as I am concerned, is time wasted.

Anyone think he'll be sacked if we lose to Forest?

I reckon we will draw. Seems a bit like Lambert in that he will keep getting the bare minimum number of points not to get sacked, without ever doing any good.

Bamford scores that chance and he’d have been gone this week.

Not read any of this thread but sure I’m going to echo a lot, I won’t say the names I screamed at the screen when he bought bloody Ings on again….we needed pace on the pitch but instead of giving Archer a go bloody slow coach Ings again! 

Gerrard seems happy to die on the hills of Watkins/Ings….Coutinho over Buendia & the absolutely pants 433….midfield needs another body and we don’t need to start 3 up top doing little.

The lack of attacking fluency is perplexing given the players at his disposal. There’s just no patterns of play and we get worse when the opposition let us have possession. It just feels like hit and hope for a moment of individual inspiration.  A year in we should be seeing more, far more.

As soon as they went to 10 men I said to my mate “I’d take a 0-0 right now”

Said exactly the same to my son. But then again I'd said the same ar kick off too.

I think the difference is in comparative budgets.  He’s inherited a squad that had a lot of money spent on it and was then given more to spend himself.  Injuries have been cruel to him, but I think most of our squad have regressed since he’s been here.

It's Bruce-ball, get the defence organised as best you can and then hope you have enough quality up the pitch to grind out enough wins for you to keep your job.
