Ainsworth? Stick or twist? I think he is out of his depth and pretty useless. He plays Victorian football and relies on good old fashioned heart and soul and lacks tactical nous.

No, but with no idea who would be up for replacing him and would be able to get a tune from this shambles.
No. He's had a crack at it and it's not working for a myriad of reasons and he should go now whilst his club legacy is still in one piece.
I'm inclined to give him a little more time. I thought we were onto something after the Birmingham game. I felt hopeful that the greater resolve shown and the backbone offered by Cook and Colback together with Field would be enough to keep us up this season. Unless we can get back to that type of performance in the next couple of games, it may be time to move for Warnock (if he's available).
I don't believe there's another team in this country that would give a manager this much time with his stats. Personally I would have let him go at the end of last season. We've given him the benefit of the doubt keeping him for this season and he shows no signs of turning things around. A "thanks and bye" from me.
I still like him as a bloke but it's clear he's taking us down. With this squad, we have to get Warnock in now to be in with a sniff of staying up
So very sad to say no. Would love to believe he can turn it around but we're a quarter of the way through the season and we're in the drop zone. Maybe give him the Huddersfield game but that's it.
As Sutfol says, with his stats, Ainsworth is a dead man walking. He seemed a risky and emotional choice to start with. He's had a fair crack and a full pre-season. He's been able to bring in some of his own chosen recruits and he's claimed to be delighted with that recruitment. Regrettably, it's just not worked and I can't see that changing. Very sad.
As fans, we obviously all want our manager to succeed, no matter who it is. Ainsworth should never have been appointed, it was to appease the fans and get them off the boards back for a while. Totally backfired on them but it seems like they don't really give a ****. As for Ainsworth, telling the paying punters that we have played some great stuff this season is beyond belief. We are there fella, we witness it, it's piss poor. Playing an unproven left back at right back is total bullshit. He should be sacked for that decision alone. He's a motivator and that's about it. I think even the players realise he's crap.
I'm one of two to say 'yes' so far, and not because I'm a big fan of what Ainsworth is doing. It clearly isn't working, however, we've proved time and time again that changing the manager and getting in the next available person doesn't solve anything in the long run. Bringing in Warnock for the rest of the season will only leave us in the same position in twelve months time, or whenever he moves on. That said, it won't take that many more poor results for me to jump camp and want him out.
He's lost the crowd after the Blackburn debacle which he probably won't get back and it's only a matter of time til he gets the chop. A very important season to survive in the Championship, with the new TV deal coming and our FFP stranglehold loosening both starting next time round...Warnock to see us over the line whilst we carry out an extensive search for a manager to come in next May would be preferable to more of this happy clappy ****e week-in, week-out. I'm sorry Gareth, it just hasn't worked out - we all wanted it to, but quite a few of us doubted that you were the right choice in the first place. Go now whilst you can still hold your head high, because any more of this and your legend status as a player will count for nothing
I wasn’t convinced the previous time Ainsworth was touted; couldn’t see how things had changed when he was up for it this time. We all loved him as a player, but this isn’t working. I like some of his approach and attempts to change/improve things behind the scenes, but the really important stuff … his football tactics and nous has been awful. I’ve not seen someone lose the fans this much. If it wasn’t for the feeling of restrictions we are under financially I feel it would be quite nasty by now with the fans - GA has had a lot of slack. It’s vital we stay up, in my opinion, and to do so you feel it HAS to change quickly - personally I’d have been up for it after the Blackburn result.
Sorry to say we are fortunate there are two teams below us as the football we've played quite frankly would have us in the bottom six of League One. There is no discernable improvement from last season's debacle so the outcome is inevitable, we should change whilst some viable replacements are still available...
Voted Yes, as we have the unfortunate habit of not getting manager appointments right. Would like to see Ainsworth given another couple of games to improve performance before I would jump to the No vote. I do agree that other than passion, Ainsworth has been a disappointment, we even seem to have lost the desire and passion shown since Birmingham. Can take losing, but offering nothing in terms of performance is the most significant drawback.
I don't think he should be our Manager but think the reason he still is as of now may well be we can't afford to fire him and bring in a replacement without falling foul of FFP this season. With our previous I guess that punishment would be severe. Possibly the powers that be are trying to negotiate something that won't hit us so hard FFP wise this season. Or we're stuck with GA for a while yet.
I'd take Eustace, proved he can manage at this level. Nathan Jones despite the hate has also been successful, both have managed on a tight budget. Warnock short term would leave us facing another change so I'd sooner give one of the younger guys a run. Beale would be too divisive with the supporters and basically be taking the piss...
Voted no. Love him as a former player, but not as a manager. Doesn’t appear to have contemporary coaching skills required and has lost the dressing room. Not difficult with this lot given the past 2 years of change. Is it easier to change the manager or an entire squad? Warnock is obvious choice given track record of turnarounds, Eustace and Jones would be more forward looking (more forward than the end of the season that is). Anyone else out there looking for a basket case?
