taxi for Mr Neil.
that's it really, he's played all the tricks in his bag, isn't utter shite or insane but just didn't get lucky in the time.
hire the new manager now while there's time to get something out of the season.

so I was wrong about the green shoots, massive kudos to AN for turning it round. today I was watching genuine self-belief from everyone.

This has the feel of the Lambert season all over again!!! Brought in to try and improve things, but nothing changed one little bit, in fact, it gradually got worse, to the point you were just waiting for the inevitable to happen!!! I just got the cold shivers remembering that name

They just were that much better than us, we're not in a false position, AN's fighting talk is getting to sound like panic. He took over a slightly demoralised mid-table squad and atm we're just not playing football. The stats say we could have dominated the game but almost no-one on that putch had the confidence to do that. Poor one more time and I'm not seeing enough green shoots 3 from me * if you were there please

I watched the game as a neutral. It’s a 3 from me, both teams were naff but Preston took one of the rare chances. Was looking like an obvious 0-0 before then. Really unimpressed with how he has you playing, not like the Alex Neil tactics we saw at all. haway can you see the missing pieces in the jigsaw more clearly than we can? What did he have at yours that he hasn't got at SCFC (and don't say the fans ) x

No manager could get a performance out of this bunch of wankers Bring back Tone, give him a flamethrower for team talks. Simples.

if you can be arsed. This week's told us too much atm I'm feeling like he had one plan, it didn't work, now he's bleating on about the window. Love to be wrong as ever... oh and apparently there was a match today, hard to believe it was apparently a home game too. 3* from me add * if you were there and sorry about that

Came from behind twice looks good on paper but there was a relatively easy win there and we didn't come near trying to claim it. Agree with Albert about the formation and agree with, presumably, every other poster about Smallbone, poor love he really shouldn't be out there, it does hin no favours either.

You can tell the man's a true SCFC manager, every time you think he's in freefall suddenly it's all ok again, ish. That was great, fought back, held on, kicked them about a bit (the Sal theory of top the Fouls stat every week, you'll always be top half is still true). Maybe we're getting nearer a best starting XI but the window will change that. But we were just really strong, 3 away points is never bad. (Still a dismal table to look at tho)
Wwell worth a 9 for me, add * if you were there please

That's how to see Nate off the premises, I'll never get why that's a Prem manager but then I never got why he was a Stoke manager either. Luton really weren't good but AN really grabbed tonight by the scruff of the neck - so wtf not before this? Hopefully that was just a long blip. It wasn't just motivating the squad either, he read the game right. More please

He's still trying to do something and agreeing with gawa, this bad run didn't deserve to be as bad as the results say, if AN has the grip we'll pick up momentum again but right now it's like watching a tug of war, the team and M O'N's training ground weak spots vs AN. Desperately want this to go the right way, AN does have the quality but for today, honestly:

one more 10 from me, it's all about the context, what a great end to a great week for AN, we're better organised than for a long while, he's getting a tune out of the majority of the squad and think how we all were this time a week ago

8 From me Another patched up starting 11 but well organsied and looking like a team at last. Gouranga. Just this, we're feeling like it's actually going somewhere, can see it in the lads' faces, I'd almost forgotten the feeling. 8 from me too

4 from me and I've marked him slightly higher than I would MON because he's only just walked through the door. But his team selection and tactics were appalling. Hopefully he'll also learn from what Bonham and Wilmot did that the same stupid mistakes they did is partly to blame for why MON was sacked. Let's hope he can concoct a silk purse from a pig's ear until our better injured players come back. OS. Put it better than I could, 4 from me too, same reasons. Hopefully the training ground can help, it bloody needs to, and I'll cut AN a little slack about selection since he doesn't know the squad well enough but his tactical misread of the game and poor homework on Reading, that part is potentially scary

Mixed start sound about right? It really felt like he's got a grip from the off, the subs were strong, we kept going right to the end and got a reward for it but... this is not a well balanced squad Alex has inherited, no point pretending, and it's a big big job getting performances up to a standard. Positive tho on balance for me

Held on for a decent point or threw 2 away? Afraid it's the latter for me, we could have had them so easily, I just think we've stopped believing it's possible and in the end, that one's down to the manager. 5 for me

honestly? if this had been a month into the season we'd have been seeing promise in that performance and Mick did a lot right. we just do not have that extra gear. at all. a fair result for what we have to offer and I'm trying so hard not to lose the will to live.

Can I wake up now please? ffs that was poor. Ok there are reasons but right now, feel like I'm watching a manager who's running out of ideas. Just compare with this time last season and a weaker squad...

6 from me bought on Vokes and he never touched the ball, changes were strange and seemed to make us worse. Got to go out Sal can't hang around waiting Gouranga. starting the thread before FT isn't fair

Every time you get just a little hope We're tired, the squad feels thinner every week with only a v few exceptions but we should never be handing 3 points to Millwall, just not ever. Today says we're simply not hard enough: 14 shots to their 10 sounds good if scattergun but 11 fouls to their 16 tells the story. Tone knew, you must be able to steamroller teams at this level and I'm not convinced Mick knows that lesson. Other than that it could have been an ok day at the office if we'd held on but never anything better tbh. 5 from me (Damn you Tatlock, if only I'd written a shorter essay....)

9 Could have been a 10, especially for bossing Batman's sidekick at their place but then... he just had to bring Vokes on didn't he.... Vokes actually played well when he came on. I especially concentrated on it. If we are talking about today’s game against Bristol CITY!! BM Sorry Mick!! xx
