The pendulum swings far... that's the issue, we don't have momentum..

This was once a quality forum....

We will finish in the bottom 5 with Bournemouth, Southampton, Forest and Wolves, If PV dosent change his tactics.

I hope you are right, i am glass half full person normally, i think the squad is no worst than the ones Roy had, should be better with the money spent, but i fear that Roy was a far better manager than PV, Roy got the most out of what he Had, PV dosent, out of the 9 players he has bought, only 3, maybe 4, for are regular starters

Indeed, however Brighton in their last 6 PL games have scored 17 goals, we have scored 5 in our last 6 PL games.
Brighton have also won 2 of their last 3 games scoring 7 goals in the process.
We have lost 2 out of our last 3 games,both at home , conceded 7 goals in those matches and never got on the scoresheet.

Or - you sack PV, which is what your personal agenda is all about, get a couple of '' cheap loans '' in, install Dyche or whoever and still get relegated.

Posters on here want a Hodgson type manager in - really ? I was one of Roy's biggest advocates when he was in charge but I wouldn't want a return to that brand of football. You are saying that he's a better manager than PV - well he's had far more experience, but his methods are now considered outdated.

One poster mentions '' momentum ''. That we don't have any. That can change. Prime example being on Saturday. At 1-0 to Palace, Saints fans were chanting that Nathan Jones football is s***. I didn't hear them repeat that when they went 2-1 into the lead. Things can and will change.

I would only support sacking Vieira if we looked like we were nailed on for relegation unless we parted company with him. And that is not the case at the time of writing.

I understand your doubts, and PV's managerial career to date is there for all to see. Roy's long career wasn't without the occasional blip either. At the end of the day it is down to the players, although it is always the manager who carries the can.
My feeling is that PV is far too chummy with the players, I may be mistaken on that score, however what I'd like to see is that ruthless streak he had as a player make itself shown as a manager.
