There's nothing like the return of a certain G Potter next week to galvanize the home support and start to turn the form around.

But for now, it is what it is. Not good at all.
I fear the worst…..I will be very pleasantly surprised if GP doesn’t spot and exploit how predictable and wasteful we are in attack whilst being paceless and useless in defence.

I make no apologies for this potentially divisive thread.

Today has been a f***ing embarrassment of a performance and injuries are no excuse.

Clueless doesn’t cover it and given our recent form and performances this is not a knee jerk

I haven’t called for a managers head since the latter days of Chris Hughton.

So so pissed off with how this season has fallen apart with clueless management…just imo. I accept others may have a different opinion.
I've put you down as 'fence'.

On the fence, just, but I need to see something more than this. We can’t blame injuries or use them as a distraction, they’re a reality and have been for at least 18 months- it’s about motivation, organisation, tactics etc etc. We were told he excelled at a lot but I’m not seeing any of it.

Of course we should leave it to season’s end. Totally pointless to make a change at this stage.

Remember Leicester hadn’t scored for months and Brentford hadn’t won at home for months. We made it so fuxking easy for both of them to end those runs.
Agreed. We won’t sack him now. What would be the point.
But we surely must be considering it at the end of the season.
I expect Tony will be looking at how the last 5 games go as we’ll have some of the injured back for those games, but he must be asking himself the question.

You could hear our fans chanting "you don’t know what you’re doing" clearly on the stream when he subbed Welbeck off.

Followed a couple of minutes later by a louder chant of "Where’s our striker gone?"

With FH being a young inexperienced manager, and with all the hype around the fact of him being so young in managerial terms when he first joined us here, I don’t think our fans have ever really got behind him.

Mutual agreement to part ways at the end of the season is what I suspect is coming

Explain this to me: we are in a very similar league position to RDZ last season, albeit without Europe to contend with. We were penalty kicks away from a Wembley trip, and our injury problems are as bad or worse than last season.

Brentford are still below us in the table, with an established, popular manager, who has been there for a number of seasons and never made Europe. Their highest ever finish is 9th.

Whilst they have a lower wage bill, they have suffered 12 total injuries compared to our 22.

Why do people want the manager out, when ours is outperforming much more established media darlings?

Injuries are an excuse, and a bloody good one.
Not really. A lot of injuries to some players but luckily for Fab nearly all our best ones have been largely injury free.
Poor management is the bigger factor.
He’s right on the edge now, in terms of whether it’s worth persevering into next season.
I notice some traditionally ultra reasonable posters have turned.

Because we don’t play anything remotely resembling adult professional football. We play a kind of chaos theory abstraction of some game involving a ball and a bunch of men.
