Agreed a bunch of spoilt baby bed wetters 2 wins !!! Unheard of . Go support Man City . Happy Christmas Everyone and raise a glass for all the ones who have gone before us .

Roy only has one mission, and that is to keep the team up. He sees the season as a whole rather than game by game.

All we have to do is finish above three teams. He will be looking to get 38 points, and we are almost half way there.
The only really poor result we have had, given the form and quality of other teams is Luton. We have had a great draw at city and a win at United.

The bottom line is that we have had a lot of injuries to key players and are still on target to stay up. Critics of Roy should ask themselves who else we could attract to the club with anything like his quality and experience.

Brighton didn't have a fit full back, were without their top goalscorer from last season, the forward from Barcelona and one of their centre halves.
They still managed to play football at a different level to us. a They started with two 19 year olds and brought on an 18 year old in the second half who changed the game.
They played on the front foot with incisive forward passes and made a number of tactical tweaks during the game which had a positive impact on their game.
In contrast we constantly played the ball sideways and backwards, kept players behind the ball and were utterly predictable.
The difference in coaching,approach to the game and use of young players was marked.

When Roy left last time he said it was the right time to go as the club had new young players who needed a fresh face to take the club forward.
In my view I think we are at that stage again.

Sensible post but it didn't reply to Midlands post.

Perhaps the Board doesn't mind Roy not playing those who don't fit within his scheme. Roy is only holding us in place till the new management arrive. They will have the option to field the newbies.

Contrary to what a few were saying Clyne kept Mitoma relatively quiet...I like Ozoh think he’ll develope into a top player.. pity Franca didn’t come on in place of Eze... Mateta had another good match and provided Eze with a golden opportunity which he surprisingly fluffed....

Agreed. Judging by a number of comments on this site, some think that there are 3 worse clubs than us, and Hodgson is a safe pair of hands until the end of the season as we won't be going down in any case. If this is so why wait that long? Replace him now and let's get on with it, give the new manager the remainder of the season to settle his outlook and the close season to fully prepare.
I think of PV and his dismissal when the club were 12th, and compare it to Hodgson's record thus far this season, and have to conclude that Parish is not as straight up as he wishes us to believe.
