I've already resigned myself to the fact that we're going to be playing in League 1 next season. So any win is a bonus and twice as sweet. |

What do we expect though when we appoint West Ham under 8s receptionist to run the football side of a 160 year old professional football club. 😂😂😂 |

Today wasn't as worrying as Birmingham. Anyone who went into the ground today expecting anything but an almighty struggle to prevent a heavy defeat is deluded about how good Leicester are in comparison to the other Championship teams.

Anyone who went into the ground today expecting anything but an almighty struggle to prevent a heavy defeat is deluded about how good Leicester are in comparison to the other Championship teams. Yes that's true but our performance against Birmingham actually wasn't that bad while the one against Leicester was awful. I saw the logic of the starting lineup. Leicester like to suck teams in then hit them on the break so we played a team designed to draw them out. Problem was they scored early and were forced to chase the game and got picked off - the plan backfired spectacularly. In retrospect we should have gone at them form the outset - the result would probably have been the same but at least we would have given it a go. As it was the wholesale changes meant we never found our feet and just looked all over the place. At the moment Schumacher is making the same mistake as Neil - trying to be too clever with his team selection and not settling on a starting formation and core line up. He needs to go back to the basics and keep it simple. |

I've already resigned myself to the fact that we're going to be playing in League 1 next season. So any win is a bonus and twice as sweet. Today is the first time I’ve genuinely looked at the league one table for about 15 years. Frightening prospect that it could become a reality. But, there’s hope- we can embark on yet another rebuild, be comfortable in the fact that we’d be the biggest club in the division with wealthy owners who know exactly what they’re doing and there’s no doubt in my mind we’d piss that tin pot league and bounce straight back. Similar situation to when we were relegated from the Premier and we knew with absolute certainty that we’d get promoted at the first time of asking. What a mess we are in. |

He needs to go back to the basics and keep it simple. There’s just no logic in playing Gooch left wing and the starting line up was a shambles. We were completely incapable of retaining possession of the ball which is exactly what I’d expect from a front 3 consisting of Gooch, Campbell and Leris. |

There’s a real danger of us going down.
However objectively, looking at remaining fixtures, we should stay up.
Huddersfield have some tough games coming up.
We do need to pick up a win in our next 2 games though.

On current form no,only 2.
If that form carries on,QPR & Huddesfield will both finish above us.

Already lost 4 games out of 6. Never going see the top ten this season. Lose at Huddersfield and go 1 nil down against Hull.. Think Stoke fans will be calling for Neil's Head. The bewildering thing is why would anyone be surprised , Our end of season form was shambolic , he then out of charachter fell head over heels for Jared’s smooth talk and his sponsor Ricky’s pillars and accepted a trolley dash of unproven flair players with no substance or any attempt to address the. COre issues of last season , goals , physicality and central defence power . we have grafted a recruitment disaster beyond all others on top of a truly awful team and sold two of the proven championship players in the squad in brown and Tymon right at the death , without properly replacing either we are now in a worse position than any since. relegation . it’s actually very un Alex Neil like , he’s gone from mediocre / bland ‘ lower championship cv. to a totally erratic , catastrophic lost soul . A,d his pre match interview talking of we can see where we are and it’s going to take time suggests he knows he’s in huge trouble . I can only see a truly terrible season from here neil for sure won’t survive 🐊will have him its just when , but the more important question is can we actually find three worse teams right now I can’t see them Credit where due. Called it accurately. |

Called it accurately. No pleasure in that but its good of you to raise it given the hammering I took at the time and since that was Sept 16th it was blatantly obvious as early as that . I am now convinced drop is virtually inevitable, thet allowed the lunatic Martin control of te asylum and he managed the proecess to appoint his perfect Patsy , it’s a shame for Schumacher but the politics and football issues are well beyond his experience or scope. Like any very sick patient or comb[any in real peril , time is key Martin has to go before Wednesday. If that no change on Wednesday then Schumacher and Co on Thursday. Then don’t go mad leave Gallagher and Shawcross and Morris to fight the battle the team was at least tight , wiiththem , expect the drop is a likely outcome and plan accordingly. Using the time to find a Proper experienced CEO to take day to day and front eh club and let him or her dictate the football structure and recruitment subject to Board . Id also think about appointing a advisor to the baord to give some boardroom balance similar to what Wrexham did that could be your Michael O’Neil Type a role that might appeal to some of the bigger names not wanting the day to day . |

Look at who recruited the players and the manager the latter two are symptoms the next level up is the disease the symptom may well kill us but the disease has to be removed to have any chance Id go so far as to say that that role might possibly be influencing. some of the more erratic managerial behaviour we are seeing and we will only know that once the disease is cut out . After all mini Martin is now piping up about data |

People on here accuse the players of having no fight in them,They should look in the mirror. There is no reason that we should go down and certainly not without a fight. Why people are so defeatist is hard to understand, they remind me of a child who has had a lollipop taken away from him. The players that we have, in their right positions and organised properly are more than good enough to keep us up. We gave Blackburn a 3 goal start and if we had scored our penalty, I would have backed us to get at least a draw out of the game. The standard in this league is very poor. In January I said that we should concentrate on our defence and use that as a platform to move forward. I still think that that is the first priority. If we tighten up at the back then a lot of our other problems will disappear. Signing another couple of forwards and trying to outscore the opposition without fixing our defence is like pissing against the wind. We got 14 clean sheets just a few years ago when we also had no forwards. So it can be done.

Nowhere near, we are the shittest team in this league by a country mile. No leadership, no structure, no physicality and zero confidence. It’s a case study in how to completely mismanage a positive situation into an absolute horror show. Added to which we’ve actually acquired some decent players who could do well in a better set up, well led team. Vultures will be circling for them end of season, leaving us with utter shit we’ve also acquired on long contracts who are as suited to league 1 as I am.

No , we are doomed ! League 1 manager , League 1 here we come I mean, the recruitment teams have a lot to answer for. MON was probably the best manager we had in the last 7 years, yet recruitment was a huge downfall although looking back it has got much much much worse since then |
