These posts are so random. It's like saying people think next year will be fantastic for everyone, with absolutely no basis on the present, past, or reality. Positivity is great but blind faith is dangerous. Can you please just observe the evidence and make a thought out, considered opinion? I hate to be rude but it's absolutely brainless. He has constructed a squad that has some quality. Plenty for this division. They have shown some promise. He now has 10 injuries. How can you judge him at this point in time. Take 10 people out of that Arsenal team on Sunday. Would they have won. Would they fuck You think our 10 injured players all get into the team if fit? I'd say 4 (5 at a push).

only 1 LB , and don’t give me the bollocks the others have played there , probably less than 10 games between ,stop making excuses it’s going you look a fool sooner than later Jr plays both sides. Edit: and is clearly good at it. He'd played 3 games at lb before signing for us and 1 of those was in the Autoglass or whatever it's called now.

I wanted Neil gone when we suspended football for the World Cup last winter.I was pleased with his appointment(I voted for him in the next manager poll on here) but completely confused at what he was trying to do on the pitch and nothing has changed.His record stood at PL 15 W5 D3 L7 PTS 18 at that point and unfortunately nothing has improved. I had low expectations for this season until we appointed Dublin and these unheard of and potentially exciting signings arrived, meaning that by the time the kick off of the new season arrived I was genuinely excited.The first few home games including the cup games did nothing to temper that,attractive and winning football. Then he shit himself,decided to play 3/5 at the back and he's been chasing his tail ever since. If you're that a good a tactitian and coach as you seem to think you are Mr Neil,then let the opposition worry about it rather than the other way round as has been happening.

Lambert 4 likeable but out of his depth. Rowett 2 unlikeable and set us back years. Jones 1 Beware of false gods. MoN 7 saved us from league 1,massively hampered by ffp,did a great job overall but couldnt push us on. AN 3 flattered to deceive,talks a gd game,the club has made massive strides in recent times,hoping that includes a succession plan re the manager.

Time to move him on, if we can. Can be excellent, but not often enough. Time for someone new, even if he hits amazing form in the next 5 games. It's time for someone else... Time to move him on,the day after the window shuts,great thinking.

Would really love to hear everyone else's opinions on him. We had Ricardo fuller who reserved his energy to create moments of magic. This lad does the exact same but does absolutely nothing to our team. He scored against Rotherham midweek but we won't see that again for another 10 games. Shouldn't be anywhere near the first team..... Won't see what again for another 10 games?,a goal?

Confirmation from Nixon that he’s off. Probably best for all parties. I can only speak for myself,keep Powell and fuck Neil off.

The manager appears to ahve no idea how he wants to play He knows exactly how he wants to play - he just doesn't have the players to do it. He started by playing a back five to continue where O'Neil had left off and then tried a back four. When the players he inherited couldn't make it work he went back to a back five. He got the loan players to play a back four in January and for a period if time it worked. Problem was all he had was a starting 11 and when they tired and the injuries mounted he had to revert to a back 5 because the squad was too thin and he was still having to play players who didn't suit his system. He wasn't changing systems because he didn't know what he wants, he did it out of necessity. What a lovely story.

It's not really fair that we all get a vote when Bayern could have chosen for us all.

Most home defeats in a season since the infamous '85 season and people are happy giving him 20m+ to spend. We had 87% possession in the 1st half today and didn't have 1 fkn shot. Must admit a few weeks ago (like most people) I was getting quite excited. I'm now confused. That 5 game spell was joyous and looking back,utterly bizarre. As a big backer of horses back in the day,part of me is holding out that Neil is doing a Prescott and getting us right under the radar.

After the last 4 home performances🤔 Our tactic seems to be to launch it diagonally to either wing back and hope for the best. The summer will be massive and I’d personally get rid of the majority of players and start from scratch Beginning!? Fuck me you've got some patience. Just fuck him off,the last thing we need is another Rowett situation.

Are you judging by the video they've posted on YouTube? Because I definitely saw Powell. Did you? Where mate? I couldn’t spot him Right at the end receiving the ball off Fox?

I'm not ignoring anything,was questioning why you said a manager that won 5 of the last 9 games last season could have lost the plot,the latest results are the most relevant are they not,if the run of games you quoted was his latest set of results then I'd agree that he was losing the plot.Regarding this season,if you think 5 games in this league is enough to judge anyone or any team on then you're mistaken,I've given you the best example in Burnley. I don’t think the most recent games in that context are most relevant when even in those the same problems were evident and there wasn’t any sign that good times were round the corner. If things were fine why was he sacked? Presume they thought things would improve by getting rid,not proved the case though.

So you're ignoring the last 10 games of last season and picking an arbritary amount of games earlier in the season to suit your agenda that a managaer was losing the plot even though they weren't his most recent games.Bizarre. It all adds up though doesn’t it? You’re ignoring literally all of the bad stuff to focus on an oasis of decent results (performances still being fairly underwhelming). You’re ignoring the transfer window, you’re ignoring the awful run, you’re ignoring the start to the season. How does all that trump your own arbitrary selection of games? I'm not ignoring anything,was questioning why you said a manager that won 5 of the last 9 games last season could have lost the plot,the latest results are the most relevant are they not,if the run of games you quoted was his latest set of results then I'd agree that he was losing the plot.Regarding this season,if you think 5 games in this league is enough to judge anyone or any team on then you're mistaken,I've given you the best example in Burnley.

That's not losing the plot ffs No but the run that preceded was, and his abysmal transfer window where he failed to recruit to the system he wanted to play, made us worse than we were last season and looked atrocious was. So you're ignoring the last 10 games of last season and picking an arbritary amount of games earlier in the season to suit your agenda that a managaer was losing the plot even though they weren't his most recent games.Bizarre.

Every team in this league goes through that sequence.Burnley won 1 of their first 5 including 3 at home against Blackpool and Hull(when they were shit) The performances were awful, the transfer window was dreadful and last season we went on a run of three wins in 18. He’d lost the plot. We won 5 of our last 10 games last season?

But he isn’t doing better and we needed someone to do better. Why not have left MoN in place till summer then and brought in someone else. Neil has come in and there’s no demonstrable improvement, he could have zero complaints if sacked. Because we’d won one of our first five after a poor second half to last season and looked dreadful? The question should be why wasn’t MON sacked in May. Every team in this league goes through that sequence.Burnley won 1 of their first 5 including 3 at home against Blackpool and Hull(when they were shit)

I think it was a better squad, I'm sure you can look at it yourself and make your own mind up, listing it here isn't suddenly going to change my mind is it. What a strange argument You don't have to list the whole squad,just tell me which players made it a better squad to back up your argument. Billy,I'm still waiting

Which players are you thinking of? We had a much better squad then than we do now just for the balance alone, don't try and suggest that we didn't that would just be stupid. Which players?

Haha,if Neil had taken over from Jones we'd be in league 1. With the squad we had then, I don't think we would. Which players are you thinking of?

Last 26 under O’Neill W9 D6 L11 First 26 under Neil W8 D6 L12 How’s he’s come in and been worse than O’Neill is just.. MON was still worse, he had plenty of time to put a squad together that he wanted and he fucked it, give AN the same time and I think he'd do a lot better. Haha,if Neil had taken over from Jones we'd be in league 1.
