Writing on the wall for the bread man?

he's on thin ice and we should be looking at other potential options to step in. his philosophy is the kind we want at the club and he's taken us forward but his record, application, motivating and tactical awareness has been seriously lacking.

where we actually a good team last season or was it due to having one of the best attacking lineups in the league + our best player since taarabt dragging us through games?
we knew we'd miss those players but i think we made some excellent astute signings to make up for it, all we needed was to modify the style a bit and we'd be fine but we've regressed dramatically.

no goals in over 5 hours of football and barely a shot on target in that time is unacceptable.

he's had more backing in the market than anyone since redknapp yet has an embarrassing record this season. i could have stomached a 3-0 loss against bournemouth or another top side but barnsley? come off it, thats a shambolic result. we weren't even unlucky against them either as they tore us apart and our heads dropped. if it wasn't for dieng it would have been 5 or 6 for certain.

its the same story every game. he doesn't set up right, can't motivate the players, has no plan B, can't iron out our mistakes, poor substitutions and can't play us to our strengths.

Preston and last night we go a goal down and never looked like getting back into the game. Ok last night we lost a man but those left on seemed to have a here we go again mentality.

That is another concern, 73. Every time we go a goal down heads seem to drop. Comes back to lack of leaders, confidence and fighting spirit in the team, which in turn comes back to Warbs.

Counting heads in the squad photo we have 22 players of a stipulated League squad of 25

This includes Kellman who is underage but could be seen to be first team squad material by some.

Having injuries to Amos and Ramkilde is unfortunate but likely to occur to most teams at some stage and surely should have been factored in this seasons plans by management.

The current BOS situation appears to have been considered in detail by the arrival of Willock or Albert.

That still leaves us at least 2 short of the allowance of 25 with BOS expected to be sent to fetch a long weight.

It’s hard not to have some sympathy for MW but would have to say it’s again rank bad management from him and the club.

To be fair: That`s  hardly his fault, is it? It`s more down to lack of scouting and budget imo. With hindsight we should probably have signed Ben Watson on a short term contract.. 

That`s a very valid point. A very strange decision. 

It's a little early to judge the recruitment from the most recent window, surely? Especially as so many have come in, and have gone straight into the first team. This would be the case irrespective of who the manager is. It was pretty much another complete overhaul. And I'm not referring to the positions of players signed, rather the actual players and their qualities.

Id have more confidence going bb in a crack head street walker than mw as manager

Maybe the stats are poor but this is not only a result business but also entertainment business, at least so long when there is no chance to go up or down. Entertainment wise we were brilliant. I'm pretty sure we'll get that back soon.

Were brilliant with Eze very dull without no goal in 5 hours tells you that. Keep him too long and league 1 is an absolute certainty based on the past 19 games since lockdown 3 wins only so the entertainment side is clearly a lot further back than then.

For comparison:

In the summer of 2015 Ramsey signed: Luongo, Chery, Polter, Smithies, Perch, Gladwin, Hall, Blackwood for fees combined in the region of 12m maybe?
Added free transfers of N´Guessan, Tözsér, Gobern, Mackie, and JET, and topped it off with loan signings Konchesky and Angella.

I must admit I do like Bowyer. Hasn't pulled up trees but think he could do ok.

do you mind deleting your posts so you can you stop proving me wrong?

Warburton should be given a bit more time to turn it around, but I do hope strong words have been said to him about our results and performances as of late from the board.
