    With the vast majority being haters of a manager who managed a 12th and 8th place finish in the last 2 seasons with the majority of this squad, yet was deemed to have failed and was a useless manage. He gets replaced and now we are 17th. You couldn’t make this up<laugh><laugh>:headbang::headbang:

    Oh please that is utterly ridiculous and even if there was even a modicum truth in it, those imaginary haters never got him sacked, something that might have happened had there been normal crowds, yet again you are having a go at the wrong people, the mismanagement was by the owners and his poodles.

    If you think we really have a decent squad then that is your opinion, the evidence does not show that over a period of over 3 years, I know one other person is a denier and wants to ignore it but honestly is LJ's 37 wins out of his last 106 games the evidence of a good squad? In fact since he left the win ratio is virtually the same 17 out of 49.

    On Wednesday I would say 6 players out of the starting 11 did not look as though they gave a ****.

    Nothing has changed since he left, the win ratio is pretty much the same.

    It's obvious now the squad is not good enough, the vast majority know it, but I expect you are right.

    Even on here basically it's 2 of you against the rest.

    Brum drawing means we’re mathematically safe at the moment. Just a shame Rotherham are losing. Would find it hilarious Wayne Romney’s Derby in league one.

    You are right, nothing has changed...if not worse.........the change has not been a success.... The question could be....was LJ the problem in the first place? Maybe the scouting was....and if that doesn't change, then it's unlikely that NP will have any interest in staying

    Then yet again his final word allowed the any dysfunction in the scouting to be lumbered upon us.

    The dysfunction is and has always been with the process and 2 managers who signed up for it, hopefully those days are past.

    Doesn’t make us wrong, and to your point, the stats you provide, prove we are no better off! The whole purpose of changing a manager is to improve, we have not, so SL has clearly got it very very wrong!

    There always quick in the draw with the stats to say how bad LJ was, yet the same stats show we are not better off for getting rid of a “useless manager”.....

    That is exactly what I and the majority of fans who now realise that the squad is poor are saying, but LJ signed up for it and so did Holden, I cannot see Pearson signing up for a process that hasn't worked for at least 3 years.

    The stats are to show nothing has changed not to show how bad LJ was, the squad is not good enough and has never been consistent.

    Your problem is you seem to blame the process and the players for LJ's demise + him being unable to change that but expect 2 other managers one of whom has not even had a single window to operate in and a host of coaches to polish these turds.

    In fact I'd go as far as saying that we are not wrong.....and I'd also say....it's the first time I've felt for a long time that this season, we didn't even give it a go.....even when we were top it felt uncomfortable.......I felt under LJ, even though the results went against us...at least the effort went in.....can't say the same about any of this season whatsoever.

    Well that's us mathematically safe, Wycombe, Wednesday and Derby cannot catch us.

    Well you must have been watching (if you were of course) a different team to me last season because with the odd exception, I never felt comfortable at last season I can remember games like QPR and Reading at home off of the top of my head where we were played off of the park but won, I suspect if I look at the fixture list I would find a lot more.

    Awww bless you.

    I am reminded of the military joke about the mother watching her sons passing out parade "Oh look at my @oneforthebristolcity he's the only that is in step".
