Our best XI this season is as follows. Red font for anyone MON has not been using or dropped and assumed it has to be a 4231/433 instead of a diamond*.
Federici Edwards Batth CCV BMI Etebo Badou Clucas Powell McClean Gregory
Therein lies the problem.
*Disclaimer: Our best games this season have been a diamond with Gregory and Hogan up front.

Pulis was dire for at least eight games when he first came here. He was then given some money to spend following a 6-0 thrashing by Forest. Then it improved dramatically, though it still went down to the last game and we needed to beat, interestingly, Reading at home....which we did.

Martin O'Neill has a 50% win record. 42.8% now but still ok , more important 1.42 pts a game , which is enough keep us up Win versus loss I meant as opposed to all games. Thank you anyway

we have no option but to stick with this one. in my opinion we should have stuck with Lambert. but no Etebo no Gregory never plays Campbell ( who scores and is now wanted by Scottish big boys ) poor performance ever Saturday and as much personality as Alan Ball . what you all think

Rowett another Mick Mills. Jones was the poor man’s Alan Ball. I can see no parallels from the past with O’Neill.

I was happy with Rowett
Just look how he has got Millwall playing now
but i think MON will be good after the transfer window in January.
These are just my opinions

ONeill has big connections in Scotland. Well respected and knowledgable. Expect us to be farming north of the border for the cheaper signings from now on

People moaning about O’Neil after 7 games is pathetic, March you can understand as he’s obviously senile and misses Clueless Pulis to much I agree We still have a hopeless strike force , with no obvious style of play We don't have a Peter crouch , who will everything in the air if you launch it to him We don't have a mark stein , who can race on to balls played into gaps and spaces , and finish It's difficult to understand , what sort of service , would work with someone who has no pace and can't head the ball ( vokes ) MoN , has to somehow get a non descript ( I am being kind !) Attack to win more games than they did under NJ Not an easy job , winning matches in the championship , with a non descript attack , that excels at nothing But good luck to him I think he is giving it a good go

People moaning about O’Neil after 7 games is pathetic, March you can understand as he’s obviously senile and misses Clueless Pulis to much Well his record since taking over is top half form and the exact same form a Swansea team showed over all of last season, the manager of which a lot of fans said at the end of the season we should have gone for instead of Rowett the previous summer. Considering how crap our team is, he's done a pretty good job so far.

Three tricky games for the poor bloke over Christmas and we are desperately desperate for points. Three defeats and a cup exit and he will be in big trouble. You can’t help but feel sorry for O’Neill. However, his was a crazy appointment that is clearly not going to work.

Personally I find the title of this post, it’s date of posting (10 December) and subsequent negative posts unbelievable. The incumbent manager has an unbalanced loaded, bloated, mentally fraught squad, with players looking to jump ship in January (of what we know of) and his performance/qualities is/are being seriously questioned by a percentage of social media players on the Oatcake. Yes this is a platform for debate, discussion and opinion, but FFS (IMHO) some should take a deep breath, contemplate and fully consider the content of their posts. We’ve all gone through the mill of disappointment, emotions etc this last few years. From a supporter base perspective let’s try and be constructive even when criticising. Just going to press the “create post” button before I firmly screw on my tin helmet

Just going to press the “create post” button before I firmly screw on my tin helmet As I said before if you don't like the thread don't post on it, time will tell if he has been a good appointment, not playing the "better" players certainly won't help his or our cause, the Reading game was one of the worst games ever we have no pace, no creativity , can't get a shot on target at home in 90 mins.

Just going to press the “create post” button before I firmly screw on my tin helmet I think the vast majority have been constructive but for all the shit the manager has inherited, when you see him doing weird stuff like try to advocate for a midfield of Woods, Clucas and Allen or bring Hogan on as a lone striker, do we really just look the other way and whistle and only speak through a flower?

Maybe its our turn to find some? 👍 Not many in the last many years. They have good players, but somehow not many english clubs want them any more. But you're right. You'd be hard pressed to name a successful english team in the 60s-70s that didn't have one or more scottish key players.

Considering how crap our team is, he's done a pretty good job so far. You could say our players are for the most part crap, and you'd be right, but the team we currently put out is O'Neill's selection out of 30+ players (and not even including academy players, some of which are doing really well by the way), so if the team is crap, such as when playing Reading, then the manager selected crap, which isn't really doing a good job, pretty or otherwise.
