Abject performances, poor results, lacklustre. The home fans have long since turned shown by the complete lack of atmosphere and then today the away support finally started to turn. Chants for bojan, were fucking shit, rowett your football is shit.
Attendances are suffering, fans are becoming disinterested.
It’s likely now that the inevitable outcome will be rowett getting the sack, it’s just a matter of how long he lasts

Let's be honest this season never got Started...... From the moment Leeds lapped us at Elland Road...... The old excuses came out then.... First game of season need time to gel clichés. Need be more brighter another cliche!!!!
Still saying same things now but he's been lucky Rowett as we have been in touching distance of play offs. Sooner it's out of sight the sooner he's gone then we can build properly with a real manager and not a manager that talks himself up.

The fans have turned, very loud chants of "Gary Rowett ... your football is shit!".
We didn't ever hear that, in the darkest days of Pulis.

I think he has lost the respect of the team, these players should be doing so, so much better with proper tactics and strategy

I can’t see this going on - there isn’t even a hint of a light at the end of the tunnel.
I think the board will - contrary to popular opinion - take action soon.

What do you base your view on, recent history would suggest that the board will do no such thing and will delay making any decision until it is too late. As I say I do hope you are right if so then surely the trigger has to be pulled without delay |

It is going to get so vile and toxic, it will only go one way but the board need to act quickly, something they won't do seeing as they have invested in the manager.
Everyone just needs to accept it was a wrong decision and walk away. Will never happen though.

The lack of any inventiveness in our performances is killing any enthusiasm I have left having seen my club slowly but surely chuck away the potentially marvellous future we could have had under the incompetence of Hughes. Rowett has proven to be a massive disappointment despite my hopes for better. I was listening to the pre-match discussion before the Saints v Wet Sham game on Radio 5. They were discussing judging success in managers and were saying its about getting the best out of you squad using Pochettino as an example. Rowett for me is the polar opposite - he has a squad with considerable potential but does not have the ability to make any use of it. Even when we win its not convincing. Apart from the Derby and maybe Villa games we have been poor. It's increasingly likely that I will be one of the many who will not take up the bargain of an early bird season ticket. It's likely the only way that we as supporters can make our voice heard at the top.

Listening to him now, he’s completly deluded.
Bolton didn’t really trouble us, despite the two world class saves from Butland and the complete lack of us troubling there keeper.
The bloke has lost the plot. Sack him now

I didn't expect us to be ripping up the league but this guy is sucking my love of the game. I just hope they aren't saying to themselves give him another game or so and we fluke a win on New Years day. |

The fans have turned, very loud chants of "Gary Rowett ... your football is shit!". We didn't ever hear that, in the darkest days of Pulis. In the early days of Pulis he could and did point to the lack of quality in the team. In the latter days he could point to his achievements. He also had an unerring ability to pull out a result and performance when the crowd were on the point of turning. Rowett? Well....... |

December has been a very poor, especially as we’ve up against four teams who are the bottom six. Eighteen points to play for and we finish with nine.
Abject mediocrity is being polite. I’m currently now thinking “mediocrity” is a hallmark of success for GR and it’ll take a hell of a lot to change my mind.
I’m still hopefull that the Coates family don’t share the same “hallmark of success” thinking as their preferred manager.

I thought Hughes'd be gone before the start of our fateful relegation season but no. Then, as every week passed and we sunk further into the mire I thought, 'he'll be gone on Monday' but, erm, no. So, as I've said a zillion times, I'm NOT for randomly sacking Managers but it is glaringly obvious when something's not working and in fact, is going backwards. He doesn't seem to be the man for THIS job. We, it would appear, need some continental fancy dan with a big attitude and yet immense charm who knows how to instill confidence into the most talent-challenged squad member, make the crowd fall in love with his cheeky yet daring ways, be a media darling and a tactical genius. Maybe then we'd see some of these overpaid, lazy, can't be ar$ed luvvies get off their backsides and play for this football Club with some passion and pride and stop moaning about the crowd not getting behind them! Where our own particular 'fancy dan' is I haven't got a scooby but I hope that someone behind the scenes has been working on it! Wheeling out some other old has-been'd just about finish us all off. That's why GR'll still be sitting at his desk come Monday morning just like Leslie was. Nobody will've been doing anything about this sorry state. Best call Big Sam and wave a big cheque about or get Tone back. At least we may avoid sinking further down the football plughole!  |

I'm beginning to get flashbacks to the atmosphere during the last few games of Alan Ball's reign .... even though we're a division higher than we were then. I've given Rowett the benefit of the doubt so far, recognising that perhaps we needed to 'stabilise' before we started making progress, but I can't see any progress being made in the last two games ...
It's all getting toxic.

Although ive tried to be more positive on the back of our unbeaten run this I think would be an ideal time to change it - we're in no danger of relegation and have an outside chance of playoffs given a decent run - and a transfer window to open soon.....these last 2 games have been truly appalling......and the players should share some of the blame - some piss poor attitudes
