How long has Freedman got if this continues ?

Will the board be thinking 'we better start looking just in-case ' or will they just let this rot continue ?

For the life of me I can't see us going on a good run, when we do win ' eventually' we'll probably lose the next two after that.

Will Freedman still be here next week, next month, at Christmas, next year ?

How long would you give him, if we continue to get this point ratio ?

FFS Scott! How many Freedman out threads do we need?
 

It really depends if going up is the be all and end all.

I do believe we'll go on a run at some point but I don't think we've shown any signs of being good enough to challenge even for the playoffs at this point so....

I dont think we are looking capable of even staying up right now, worst manager we have had for me and that's saying something, he has to go now.

I think he has 3 games, if we don't win one of them and still have 3 or 4 points he'll be on his way.

This is the worst start in 50 years, I can't remember how many games the board gave Sammy Lee, but it's clear they can get shut when need be.

I was thinking the same about sammy lee last night, i'm sure he had been given his marching orders before now?....Having said that he lost the dressing room completely so that was also a factor in him being sacked.

If we don't win one of the next 2 games then i'd say it's time to pack your bags mr.freedman.

Thing with Sammy Lee was his heart was in the right place - he wanted to switch from long ball shite to a passing game. His downfall was trying to do it too quickly, but given time who knows what might have happened.

Thing with Freedman is no one can see what he's trying to do with these silly formations, Freedman included.

i think we had 5 points from 10 games when Sammy Lee was sacked so watch out Dougie.

I still think Dougie is safe. A win at Brighton on saturday would certainly ease the pressure.

Our away record is terrible though RT, I just can't see it suddenly changing on Saturday.

Aaron, I would happily settle for a draw on Saturday. What with our poor start to the season and more players injured we must be due some good luck for a change.

The set of players Dougie has to choose from their is no way we should be bottom of the league with one of the worst away records in the country.

You make your own luck in life IMO, we can't keep blaming injuries, let's face it Holden has been out of domestic football for 3 years so you can't mention him and Moritz wasn't even match fit before he got injured.

Can't see Dougie getting the boot unless we go down - and I hope he doesn't!

Can see what he's trying to do. Unfortunately, we have players that don't want to play for the team. Or are incapable because they're shite.

Can't believe people have forgotten our form from Feb onwards last season. It's been a shit start but i'll guarantee we'll get a run together soon.

Some of the fans calling for his head already are disillusional. 

And, i swear, if i hear one more 'Big Sam wouldn't have had us here' or 'I wish we still had Big Sam' i'll go ape shit.

Scott, I thought you said Tony Pulis was being lined up as Dougie's replacement?

I can't see Dougie being given the chop just yet, I reckon Gartside & Eddie will probably give him until the end of this year to see if he can turn things around.

I don't think the club can afford the hefty compensation either, that it would cost to pay them all off.

I've said it a few times- he needs a better assistant manager. Lawrence is a geriatric- again last night he sat there the whole match with his legs crossed, offering nothing.
Get a decent deputy to help Dougie  and we'll be challenging for the playoffs by the end of January.

Anyone who actually went the game last night will know why he is staying for the duration so forget the DF out posts it ain't going to happen.

I went last night and have no idea what you mean.

What difference does a deputy make? Are you saying Dougie makes all his baffling decisions on the advice of Lawrence?

No I'm not- exactly the opposite. If he had an assistant like Jimmy Phillips he might get some decent suggestions made as to how they should play.
At the minute the pair of them appear to be rather short of any intelligence on tactical formation

Or... Phil Brown or Peter Reid.

Big Sam might be up for being a number 2 if we sold the ambition to him.
