We’ve had really good results against the big teams but when it comes to the teams at the bottom of the table who play with ten men behind the ball Roy seems to be clueless about how to deal with it and that’s a worry.

My 3 big criticisms of Roy are;

- Leaves subs too late, doesn’t seem to trust the bench
- Lack of goals
- Teamsheet nearly always guessable in advance

All 3 of these are arguably down to a lack of investment in the squad in the last few transfer windows. Unfortunately we just don’t seem to have the funds available to take us to the next level.

As is your right, but would you rather have a cup run at the risk of relegation, i wouldn't, even if we got to Wembley.

For what it's worth, I think it would be harsh to sack him at the moment.

And this is an interesting and amusing read...

'Roy Hodgson, the wisest most endearing owl we'll ever know'

The West Brom interview, of course, gets covered.

'Always tries to be respectful and well-mannered in his post and pre-match interviews. However, even the mild-mannered Roy can be pushed over the edge. Watch here as he turns from friendly, smiling owl into vicious raptor.'

Made me laugh anyway
