    Player wise we can't change anything until the next transfer window. I'd give him that at least. Getting the tactics right for the current crop, then if he ain't learning, I agree that it's a big problem. Worth bearing in mind though that if we hadn't conceded all those late goals we'd be in a playoff place. At least we would have been before last night.

    Yes but dare I say it, take a forward off and play five at the back for the the last five minutes??

    Pleased he's staying.

    I like him.

    Plus I hate this knee jerk manager change bollocks we see all too often.

    Except when it was Phelan obvz.

    Back them or **** the **** off owners.

    if Slutsky hasn't learned that the defence is the problem, after 32 goals have been conceded, then frankly I give up..Only Sunland and Burton have conceded more. Yes, we don't have brilliant players, but for crying-out-loud you work on the training pitch night and day to try and reduce the mistakes and get the players drilled. Either:
    1. he isn't doing this,
    2. he's not able to get his points across,
    3. the players aren't listening
    4. the players aren't bothered.

    It could be all four.

    A radical idea but we used to have a manager that did that. Wonder what happened to him?

    In a mediocre league the levels of ****ness are determined by fine margins.

    Someone here (in humour) twisted an article by adding some words against the club but I don't remember reading he demanded a move. Snodgrass may be another case, but Livermore was one of our best performers that season while he was here, he knuckled down into playing defence even.

    I don't think you can discount the last minutes of games, in many ways they are the most critical and important.

    It might appear to make it easier to defend a manager's/coach's performance by positioning it in an environment that is poor in itself, but the reality is that poor judgement will always stand out and with Slutsky it really does. He just isn't getting it and I don't believe he will.

    Who do we play after that? You might as well say he's got up to Brentford away on 6th of May to turn it around.

    I'm not discounting them. We are where we are because we've conceded so often in the last ten minutes.

    But the fact remains if we had defended those positions for a short period of time then Slutski would be under no pressure at all and we'd be hailing him as the guy who is engaged in manoeuvring us into a play-off place or better.

    Or 5. The "not brilliant" players are simply not good enough.
    Might be a bit of 1 and 2 but i think its mainly 5 and its not just the defenders, its also those infront of them.

    I know what number 1 & 2 are, but what is a number 5?
