I am not at the stage of calling for MON head, but he has to start showing something, it’s just to comfortable playing for a draw when he doesn’t have the fans screaming for something to happen. 1 win in 15 in all competitions has seen plenty of managers shown the door, especially a team with ambitions of promotion, even if realistically that ambition is focused on next season. Everybody in the club new we had to replace Campbell, even recalling Afobi would have given us an option, this season now feels done, it’s just a trudge to 50 points until we go again, very very disappointing

I've started the question his managerial ability these last few games especially. The run of games over December and his lack of subs and then today when they change the game bringing meite on we were crying out to change our shape and freshen it up and again the subs were far too late to have a positive impact. Not calling for his head but we're playing relegation football at the moment and with the squad we have it's not acceptable.

MON certainly isnt immune from criticism - I think he should have made subs earlier today. And this is undoubtedly his worst run as boss. I just think he is bringing a certain level of stability that we need in order to build a promotion winning side in the long run. That wont happen this season, but we are hopefully laying the foundations. Desperately need some wins soon though, before a really negative mood sets in.

It’s fine, our squad is shit and we’re lucky the manager gets them to put their boots on the right feet, let alone win a game of football. Or so we’re told.

Starting to feel like the 16/17 season where the football was dire but Hughes still having 'credit in the bank' was stopping the majority of fans from properly questioning what was happening on the pitch. Not saying O'Neill should be sacked now or even at the end of the season. But one win in 14 is not acceptable, nor is the general lack of goals and standard of football. We simply have to improve or else more serious questions need asking in May.

What little money he's had has gone on Jacob Brown and a lad who won't play this season. Another red flag for me.

Wasn't it in the football league paper recently where one player was quoted as saying: what's being played "are training matches disguised as a league season" & "if fans were present, they wouldn't stand for it" I rest my case, we'll just plod through this season and right now I can't get too worked up about it. As my four walls don't really affect what SCFC players do. Come next season they'd better be one almighty shake up, and believe me, we WILL be there.

It's 1 in 12. Not great I grant you but to include games against Spurs and Leicester in the analysis is ridiculous.

There are some owners that would drop the axe at that form, if they had ambitions of reaching the premier league

We'll come out of lockdown sooner than we'll score another goal.
We have no attacking intent whatsoever.

I like MON but he is just a plodder & mid table is about his level his signings also leave a lot to be desired. With the crowd in the stadium i doubt he would be getting off with such an easy ride. 1 win in how many is it now not good is it.

TP had one win in 14 and it cost him his job.
I can't see MON lasting beyond the end of the season if this continues. I don't know what the issue is but he seems to have lost his positive effect on the squad.

Cups are a bonus for us these days. All that matters and all we should be judged on are league performances. I'd suggest that games against Wolves and Villa reserves were very different propositions than games against the strength of team that both Spurs and Leicester fielded against us.

He'd also spent best part of 100m In taking us from the bottom of our present division to promotion, establishment in the Prem, a cup final and rampaging through Europe. The greatest ever bargain in our history. Sacking TP was one of the greatest errors in our history alongside selling Stan and not insuring the ground properly. Had TP remained we would still be in the Prem and would probably have won one of the cups by now. Instead we gave Hughes silly money and he used it to oversee our decline and eventual relegation.

Question. How many of O'Neill's 7 signings (excluding this month's batch as we haven't seen enough of them) have actually improved us? Fletcher, Mikel, Thompson, Fox, Chester, Brown and TOB are the seven I refer to.

We played ok today against a top 6 team. Never really under threat and if Cousins header went in, completely different mood on here tonight. Fine margins and fickle fans. We’re not far away and still on the upward, despite the winless run given the injuries etc.
