Warburton's days must be numbered now. Even Holloway would have got this team winning a few games.
Sorry but Dykes is a shocker. I don't want to singlel him out but when will he start scoring or at least have a decent shot on goal? Iain Dowie MII, no actually Dowie scored a couple. The defence has already been addressed... it lets in too many goals.
Seriously we are in a right state at present.
I just sat and listened to the radio with the Reading commentators talking about spending £30M in January. How is it they can spend whatever and we are making a hash of it on the cheap? When are we allowed to spend a bit again?

I have to agree with Ellers and West Windsr here - Dykes won't score enough goals/we concede far too easily/Paul Cook is a good shout. To be honest when Warburton was appointed I thought it was a reasonably sensible choice, but as many others have said on here no real progress - yes we play some nice football but (sorry for stating the bleedin' obvious) not scoring/conceding too easily will only send us one way (Gresty Rd/Priestfield/Boomfield Rd/Plough Lane etc). Harsh, but change needs to happen sooner rather than later....

It may sound strange but I think the club is actually a little more appealing to managers than it was when Warburton took over.

The squad seems to have good relationships amongst them and there are plenty of players to work with and get something out of. A good quality manager would definitely be able to get more out of this squad. We are by no means low quality in comparison to all teams in the whole league. But we currently have them punching below their weight.

Things feel more sensible and stable at the club. You can even see why they went with Warburton, because he had a decent history. However, the challenge at QPR has proven too much for him.

We need a confident manager who is very certain about how he wants football to be played (and not just be saying he does!)

Excellent post. Completely agree.

Your Dykes obsession is getting tiresome. He's decent enough, but as we never cross the ball, he's not going to get any chances.

As always though, who do you bring in? I don’t think this is a squad capable of Pulis-esque **** football and nick a 1-0 (not that he’s achieving much at Sheff Wed). Paul Cook maybe. Some obscure foreign punt? There’s also the manic schedule to consider. Little to no time to work with the players this season.

I’m losing patience as I’m sure most of us are but it’s a harder call than it normally would be.

Nigel Pearson for me. Give him a wooden club, stand back and let him get on with it.

For those that watched on TV, did no one think that the ball was out of play on the sideline just before they scored? We had a good view of it and I thought it was out, but my son didn't.
 
Sure I am disappointed at the recent results and frailties within the squad to turn dominance into positive results. But I don't think this is the right time to be considering replacing Warburton.

You have to look at some of what we have lost and limited options up front without a quality striker. We have looked poor defensively (gross understatement) and for me that should be the priority to fix. We can then hope that in January we can loan a decent striker who knows how to score and work on a system of playing that gives good supply rather than just tippy-tappy possession.

I think a consortium of three Not606'ers could do a better job of motivating the players and deliver on the potential. I just hope that Warburton and his coaching staff can figure it out soon. We have plenty of time to get it right, don't we?

No, we don't.

How long would you give him?

I would give him until the end of January, but tell him in no uncertain terms that his team needs to start delivering.

After all, bringing in a replacement now would not see any change for a few weeks. I do agree that you should try and work with what you've got but also recognise that there comes a time when you have to concede that it's not enough. Just reflect back a few weeks, we were playing good football and getting results, so we know we have the capability within the squad.

Problem with that is he gets the transfer window and not the new guy (let’s call him Nigel).
