    I’m really struggling to understand why Wright hasn’t had any minutes since his red card

    I really don't know who to blame - Liam Manning or Ben Kapper - maybe both?

    Something HAS to change this week

    I am tuned in to Canary Call - I don't normally do this on a Saturday evening

    Kovacevic - Did everything he could do
    Stacey - hit and miss
    Medic - Did ok, pace exposed at times
    Darling - some poor moments
    Schlupp - looks nothing like an ex premier league player
    McLean - some good passes and runs forward but slow on the ball
    Mattsson - full of running and tackling
    Jurasek - he’s far too soft, loses every duel
    Marcondes - slow and poor passing and falls over all the time
    Schwartau - best player on the pitch and carrying this team at the minute
    Sargent - feeding on scraps

    Both.

    But the only way of salvaging anything from this season is getting rid of Manning

    Surely they cannot survive any longer. And "they" put in any names you consider appropriate. We have players with skills so how is it that those skills are suppressed totally game after game. And what has happened to our S American recruitment team?

    It seems to me that there is a political undertone to this situation. Something or somebody has upset the players and they are not willing to play to their potential. We always blame the manager, who inevitably, will get the sack sooner or later. As in the past, there will be nothing coming out CR to explain the appalling decline in the results, The media will speculate and the fans will be unhappy, but this situation is like a blockage that needs clearing.

    The more I think about it, the more I think you are probably right. Liam Manning is not going to change his approach, which looks to be holding the players back, and Ben Knapper has to be accountable for selecting the wrong man

    I wonder what the new owners think of all this? Their new play thing that was going to make them millions and millions getting into the premiership, oh wait it might get relegated, oh dear better sell some land and asset strip to get our money back and flee

    Just hope he doesn’t introduce sausage races at half time and get David Gruber as a shirt sponsor.

    With an American owner who will be only interested in protecting his investment, a Sporting Director completely out of his depth, a Head Coach who is floundering and an away game next Saturday which will put us in the relegation zone if we lose what is there to worry about? Remember the happy days of Delia, Webber and Farke?

    The Brewers are out of the MLB playoffs now, so hopefully NCFC has their undivided attention for the next few months.

    No matter how we try & sugar coat it , we are more likely to be relegated than promoted .

    Almost into November with 7 straight home defeats .

    On the back of the first loss to the Binners in 16 years .

    Lose the next game & the tea lady Ben Knapper & or Manning should be sacked .

    I’m not sure that can be true, it would be quite the public display of dissent

    Can I just say I'm not sugarcoating it? League One it is with Manning in charge.

    We have only 1 fit midfielder in the club and amazed how easy your guys made it. I was convinced you'd beat us easily and surprised how inept with no passion your approach was.
    Reminded me exactly how Manning played with us, it was terrible and crab like yet somehow we scraped the playoffs.
    Your budget is far in front of ours and I genuinely thought with your superior players you'd get to the playoffs at least.
    Unwise to judge on 1 game but yesterday looked that your players didn't believe in Manning's game plan and just went through the motions.

    I reckon Derby, Swansea away and Hull at Carrow Road will decide Manning's fate
