I don't understand this comment. Necessary for what?

Well maybe a wrong turn of phrase. I merely meant that asking "how many games Sami has left" is poontless given FFP Rules, the fact we don't have money to splash everywhere and the fact that he's a new manager with a new squad who both need to learn from each other. He and the squad need time, and unfortunately people think that 2 months is what is meant by time.
We have all the time in the world.

I really don't get this new squad thing, two months and the players still can't play or understand the system. Yes it's worked ok away from home however at home with the exception of the Cardiff game we have been woeful.
We don't have all the time in the world, at this rate we will be playing in front of gates of 20,000 and losing more money. I think the compensation paid out would be balanced out by improved results. Sorry but I really can't see improved results under Hypia. I really hope I am wrong as I'm not one for hire and fire but something has to change to improve results and keep the crowd.
Just off to wet the bed........

FFP means that we cannot afford to dispense with a manager quite as swiftly as we might, but equally the financial consequences of a potential relegation fight means that we cannot allow the situation to drift for too long. At some point we will need to accrue the 50 points for survival and then hopefully see what we can achieve from there........so an interesting conundrum for Paul Barber to ponder over his cocoa. I wonder what his advice to Tony Bloom might be?
IMO it is good that we have another league game so soon. We should be looking for at least 4 points from the Huddersfield and Rotherham games. Certainly a minimum of 3.
I'm still optimistic that we can achieve some mid-table respectability, however that means taking some decent scalps.

watford,cardiff & forest couldn't beat us
no one has dicked us,only lost by 2 goals once,at Ipswich
steady a midship

Our best chance of picking up points from the trip to Huddersfield is the team bus getting stopped for speeding.

Shirley not...........FFP means the Albion's coach driver is not allowed to exceed 30 mph. We are playing in the slow lane this season.

I wonder whether I'll be starting a thread tonight with reference to how long has the manager got, given that we are now 9 league games without a win. I seriously hope not - but the odds are I will.
I suspect the team will be lined up to do a defensive job & hope to score on the break. Perhaps a dull draw which will buy him a few days.

Not seen such Bravery!
I reckon he's gone if we don't win tonight.

Was just going to post this.
Possibly but that would be a bit silly because if they draw away that is a step back in the right direction and you might as well wait to see how they do at home to Rotherham. Having said that how often do you see a manager have a bad run then just as it looks he's about to turn it round he gets sacked which makes no sense, tactically or financially.

We went 9 league games without a win in our first season back in the championship under Poyet, but that was after 5 wins and a draw in our first 6 league games.
Slade was sacked in early Nov, if I remember correctly and we only JUST stayed up.
How long do you let it drift on before you leave a replacement with no chance of keeping us up?
After Saturdays "performance" I am concerned. Call me what you want but the warning signs were there when we couldnt beat Blackpool and we havent improved. Away draws wont keep us up, we need wins on the board. If we lose to Huddersfield and Rotherham he may well be gone. 11 games without a win going into Nov would not be good enough in my book. I hope he turns it round really I do but the system and lack of goals is a major concern.

I think that FFP will give him until the end of November to turn it around. Can we afford to sack him? On the other hand if we enter the drop zone can we afford not to ?
I think they had a late rally which took them up to mid table in the end.
Agree with this - minimum four points from next two games will see him safe, but even with a win tonight then defeat at home against Rotherham I think he'll be under real pressure.

He needs to win one of the next two. As much as anything it is the manner of performance. It is no disgrace to lose to Middlesbro but we really made it easy for them.
