A couple describing our away form as a ‘disgrace’.
They should have been around for 92/93
Yeah it's not a disgrace, only lost 2 in 10. Underwhelming would be more accurate with all the draws.
Saying that, I'd be pretty concerned if he can't improve it. Though all it takes is a couple of wins on the road (not conceding first will help), then the narrative will change completely.

Never sack a manager when you're in the automatic places halfway through the season.
At the end of the season if he fails then yeah, get him gone. But doing it now would just sabotage a great chance of promotion. Bonkers.

Correct, if they were going to get rid it should have been after play off final.
I’m passed caring about promotion ( still think we will get there) The thing that does my head in is his failure to use the team to it’s potential. He’s totally killed the passion and thrill of watching the team i’ve followed for too many years. He’s the single most boring and wasteful tactically i’ve ever seen. I’d let him see out season and get shot what ever the out come.

Ultimately all that matters is promotion. Then we'll be able to attract the calibre of manager you're after.
Til then, it's a championship slog with a championship manager. Burnley and Sheff are in the same boat. It's just the way it is.

I've watched Sheff Utd and Burnley plenty. The tactics are dogshit. They snatch results due to superior players, nothing more. I watched Leicester last season (their fans wanted him sacked the football was so turgid and slow).
The only championship managers who have impressed me are McKenna and Bielsa. So the likelihood of striking gold at this level is very, very slim. Therefore I expected a rather unattractive slog.
I wouldn't swap Farke for anyone in this League cos dont think the rest are any better. Maybe you do, if so, who?

I know your point. You think a competent manager who played to our strengths would piss this league, and it wouldn't have to be a slog.
Problem is ya can't name anyone at this level who you believe would actually come in and do this.

Carrick if you wan’t from this league ( why it has to be this league i don’t understand) but if you read an earlier post from this evening i actually said not time to get rid. Stop making up things you think i’ve said.
