Anybody agree with me that if anything other than a win tomorrow at Coventry,its time for a change.

@jolslover

No, saw a good performance against Hull and more importantly the players are clearly behind him - Iwobi, Bassey and King have all come out and said so over the last week. I hope we win and if he doesn't then I'm sure pressure will be on but I don't think he would be sacked if we draw and play well.

Only another 31 league games for this question to be asked  ::bump::

before we (hopefully) bemoan AA being poached by a "big" club due to the fantastic season we've experienced.

Other than substitutions don't think anyone could of done better setting up the team for the last four games. The football is pleasing to watch and we create better chances than we have done for the last few seasons. Just need the players to take those chances or be replaced early enough for the sub to be given a reasonable chance to impress.

Don't see us pulling the trigger even if we draw personally. Other results might have a bearing but if they were are they giving new man a free hit at Villa next week? I don't see any change until next International break but then the first game after that is Man City away! Newcastle at home might be pivotal and gives them 2 weeks? Likelihood is they have someone ready to go and you would imagine Periera is a strong candidate considering the rumours he was there at the Hull game?
Still think considering they threw all there eggs into this one basket Arbeloa is safe though if defeated tomorrow at Coventry it might be the manner of defeat that could have a bearing on whether he continues. Can't see any reason of a lacklustre performance at Coventry personally.

I would say that all the performances have been good just not the end result but aside from that 100% with everything  ::thumb::

Nope, time for a change from the fans that want him out IMO.

So it's the managers fault that neither King Garcia Bassey and everybody else who had the opportunity to score but didn't.

Really

I'll forgo the short answer for a detailed  critique. No.

I always wonder about supporters questioning teams and substitutions made.

I think it is difficult to know precisely what the manager knows about each players current fitness status. Just because a player is listed in the main team or as a sub doesn't mean they 100% fit and confident. It seems easy as a supporter to just presume they all are.

Bassey the warrior

Nope

I can remember General George Armstrong Custers last stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25/26 in 1876. Along the Little Bighorn River.

He at least needs to escape defeat, so I'll bite your hand off for a draw away to Coventry, which is never a happy hunting ground for us.

Nah his substitutions have been atrocious

No need to make 5 changes in every single game, only decent one he's made was putting Tom on for the last 20 against Hull

Hopefully he's learnt from his mistakes and a nice healthy 3 points away at Coventry on Saturday will calm things down

Let's just hope for a win and to delay the inevitable for a while. If A has the courage to drop Garcia then we stand a chance. A non scoring striker who can't head betrays poor scouting.


Andrew

I do not think on a day when the weather could make this a total lottery i wouldn't pre-judge anything.

We won in style last week so let's see if we lay with a swagger or go out with a whimper.

I hope we do brilliantly

Palacios against Hull was a good one, making sure we kept hold of the ball rather than booting up the field in the hope that Muniz might get it if he was put on instead.

He did get one although the ball rather fell onto his head.

No.  Simply no.
