Think emphasising on the league position atm is a bit silly. On the flip side Birmingham fans of a certain persuasion would say they're only 5 points off 4th - they're 17th, it's very tight. We could very easily be in midtable. We're in the midst of a cluster of teams and just so happen to float high in it at the minute. That won't last if we don't fix our issues.

Yep - manager needed to be a radical. Pretty clear he isn't. Nor would anyone who was actually radical get the job.

Faes scores very badly for aerial. Saw a graph the other day showing it. Quite funny is Coady bas been the worst CB in the division by a distance. Funny in a way but just another red flag from us.

Simply not true. Maybe for some but not me. If I'd seen him taking some short term pain for long term gain, at this point, I'd back him and maybe even overlook some of the tactical / coaching flaws. What positives is Cifuentes bringing to the table other than speaking well? I honestly think we'd be no worse under Van Nistelrooy, and he obviously had to go. I think we've seen his hand. It's short termism and it's not even successful. Very poor.

Exactly where I am. Just another manager not strong enough to really arrest the general tailspin of the club. Go and get Rohl while we can.

I expect him to probably give it up when (not if, when) he's taken us to our lower ever position. I think the penny may be dropping a bit for him now.

This is a good summary of what we are now. How do they get away with a few feeble songs man. It's just insane.

A shame it's come to this but I'd imagine the transfer request comes any day. Get out of this mess and make something of yourself!

Dour and ineffective. Utterly awful trend - surprise surprise, spineless FC love it.

Is that before the end? Yet people think being gaslit on attendances is normal

Do wonder if Hull winning comfortably is worth a bet actually. Think a lot of our points come from a totally misplaced fear factor while Hull's comfortable wins over Saints and Blues makes me wonder if they just won't have that sort of obstacle. Make no mistake any team who really has the balls to have a go at us can take us apart - even half the guff in this league. 3-1 Hull. A new low I think.

Bottom half Championship player is his ceiling. Unconvinced he'd actually start for someone like Huddersfield.

I got banned over a year ago for something I didn't do. I used to go to probably 90% of our games and I genuinely don't miss home games in the slightest. To the point I won't bother with a ST when back - unless the ownership changes.

**** me I've just seen Pompey's injury list. That's an absolute shower from us. Totally embarrassing result and second half.

Yep. If we're picking this lot I want automatic promotion. We're in a totally false position even being 4th. He's doing a bad job. Very much on the edge for me.

90% of my judgement from him going forward will be about how strong he is and how tough he makes life for the board. Pretty confident his football isn't the answer.

I don't think any of our strikers are flourishing in whatever system this is but he looks 'bad'. But in some ways - what did we really expect? He was very much "he'll do". A half arsed signing.

The latest episode of the biggest self-harm decline in English football in my lifetime. We're pure Championship slop these days, being carried by a couple of excellent individuals to a fluke 4th place position which I highly doubt lasts a lot longer. I keep hearing it's going to click and get better but absolutely nothing suggests this is the case. I would say we're likelier to lose our next 5 games than win them personally. We don't create chances, we can't defend. We score goals because Fatawu is very good at football. If he got a bad injury like last year I think we'd be borderline relegation candidates.

It'll be better one day. Eventually the majority will want the turd Aiyawatt out. This is my own copium anyway. It won't always be like this. Every day longer he's here is a further hundred steps back up the mountain, mind.

Wild statement coming but we'll draw.

I genuinely don't think he's a defender.

Cifuentes on extremely thin ice for me with this centre back situation.

Manager has a bad hand but clearly didn't push hard enough for a better one. Those subs absolutely stink.

Yep. Can't believe anyone sees anything else. Midtable without substantial performance improvement.

Harsh on Hitler
