    It would be utter madness to get rid off Marcelo.

    We have enough in the squad to stay up and Radrizani & the 49ers need to hold their nerve.

    Unfortunately we are the team in the death spiral and not looking like we can halt the process, devoid of confidence,goals,no change in tactics.....we need a miracle and that will be more the bottom three staying as they are rather than us performing it

    Faults for this season in order of severity.

    1) Not buying a midfielder last summer despite the club admitting we needed solid cover for Phillips. We then spunked money on James unnecessarily. (Board and Management)

    2) Injuries to the spine of our team. Cooper, Phillips and Bamford. (Could be excessive training but Cooper has always been dodgy, Phillips original injury stemmed from England duty and Bamford injured himself celebration a goal whilst not warmed up so just plain bad luck.

    3) Not recruiting in January when those around us did. (Bielsa, Orta)

    4) Lack of squad depth and the players not performing like they had the previous years. (Bielsa and Coaches for squad depth but the players this year have been embarrassing at times)

    5) Recruitment. Firpo, James not exactly improving on last year. (Bielsa and Orta)

    6) Bielsa stubbornness. Refuses to change anything, even defending corners.

    7) The board not reacting thus far.

    Jammy. I'm not one for doom and gloom. I just think it needs the biggest swing in form in history to turn it around from here.

    We can't stop conceding and we can't score goals. Jobs ****ed.

    No but I am relaxed about our current situation.

    Of course recent results have been atrocious but the last 4 games were always going to be really tricky and so the defeats haven't come as any surprise. The fact that today we still created a bag full of chances shows we weren't as bad as the scoreline suggests.

    Hold your nerve, support the manager and we might just be fine, wheres making a change would surely send us down with a whimper.

    Marcelo will get us out of this.

    Wish I had your optimism mate,
    For the record I don't want Bielsa sacked, but I do want him to go at the end of the season, so we can part on good terms, thank him and wish him well, he has been found out, he does have his faults which he stubbornly refuses to address, I can't see us getting out of the **** we are in with the remaining fixtures, we're gonna have to rely on other results to stay up in my opinion.
    I want him to go but will be very sad to see him go, very strange, weird feeling.

    You must have nerves of steel my man, 20 goals in 5 matches is enough to shred anyone's confidence, and you can see it's shredded the players, you hold out jamster but mine are teetering on the edge of the precipice, I sincerely hope you are right believe me but our premier League future is in the hands of others methinks

    Honestly, previous Bielsa seasons we score first we win, now we need three goals just to get a chance of a draw, the last three games and even three wouldn’t have been enough

    The last four matches don't really count as I only expected to get one point from them.

    However, if we don't pick up a couple of wins (at least) from our next six then I will officially request permission to panic <ok>

    If he's not gone this weekend.
    Then he ain't going imo, so all the talk of him doing so can stop.

    He will not walk or be pushed out or to one side.so he is stopping and i can imagine the backing he will still recieve.

    Just been reading waccoe, probably 70% saying he should stay.
    Imo if he does go though, not sure if Jesse Marsch is the answer, too similar in style and lacks the experience necessary, so would rather stick if it's him they want
