Give the bloke a chance. If we draw with Cardiff and beat Northampton and Donny at home we will be mid table.

Really difficult one as I don't want to sound like a West Ham or Tottenham fan but the football is so dull to watch.
Hated the "successful" football under Stam but this is even harder to watch as the results are not there.
Winning makes such a difference in football but I am sure all the paint is now dry and don't want to paint all the walls again.
I think we reassess at Christmas.

I never like to call for a manager to go - especially someone who has played in a promotion winning team for us & took over in such dismal conditions last season.

However, this is football and the games the game. Totally respect Noel Hunt but unfortunately his time is up for me.

- No clear style of play
- Not getting the best out of our best players - Wing/ Elliot/ Savage
- Least number of wins in the league
- Just dull and uninspiring stuff which for the first time in a long while has left me demotivated about going to football (which is pretty damning coming from me)

I’m convinced a change of manager will get us moving up the league.

In terms of replacement - I’d have Selles back in a heartbeat with his coaching staff to try and pick up where he left off with still a number of the same players he had. Realistically it’ll be Bloomfield though.

No. I think he should remain as manager, at least until he's had an opportunity to play his strongest squad (thinking about players like O'Connor; Williams; Ritchie; Yiadom being missing for large chunks of the season so far).

I think we've got a mid-table squad and will probably be mid-table by the start of December.

I would like for the football to become a bit more entertaining though.

+1. If you include the Brentford game, even Pards ended up with nine draws when the pressure was on.

Time's up I'm afraid.

The team has lost all its vibrancy from the last couple of years and as pointed out by others several players have regressed. Hunt is also regularly outperformed tactically by other managers.

There's a similar poll running on The Tilehurst End.... currently 86/14% in favour of sacking. 850 votes too....

Not sure throwing him out of the club is the greatest idea, but sending him back to the U21s could be a logical option.

Just starting a new thread on it is bad enough.

Great servant for the club but time for Couhig and Jacobson to be ruthless and make the change required. Results speak for themselves but the performances are what's really concerning. We are playing like a bottom 8 team despite having a squad that is good enough to be challenging for a top half finish. He can't use the excuse of a lack of pre-season now because 6 weeks has passed since the transfer window closed and all players should be up to full fitness.

So convince us that we’re improving and not getting worse?

Not sure not losing at home to Mansfield and getting a brave 1 point at Exeter are the decision points to mount the case for the defence.

There's no case needing to be made imo. And you wouldn’t listen no matter what.

It's a no from me. I'd give him more time

Whole new team and yes, he still doesn't know what his best first team (and seems to have no idea how to sort out our piss weak midefield) BUT, for me there are signs of improvement. Not least of which is the fact that (unlike last season) he seems to be able to make changes and subs that positively impact the game.

A new manager will go back to square one in trying to figure out what the best first team is. Can't see how that will help us at all

Totally ambivalent, if I'm honest.

He's had a chance and not showing signs of turning it around against weaker opposition than we played in August.
