So we just accept it and carry on losing then do we?
U spimeless get. Show some balls. Ur Donny or ur not. So dig in and deal with it. We're in championship but it'll be hard to turn it round but so what. f**k off and support Man U. Am sure you'll feel included there
Whilst I hate losing game after game, I think these statistics are slightly pointless. For one, the last time we won was on the 9th August - not nineteen games ago. Statistics will always be twisted to be negative. Look at Barnsley's result today. Despite having had a few good draws against decent sides, and having won Reading, BBC Sport report that \"Barnsley are still searching for their first home win of the season\". Shock horror. We could win the next game 10-0 and some people would still say we haven't won away from home for blah blah blah..Anyhow, that's not to undermine the serious situation we're now in. Things need to change - SOON!!!!

However, the one game we have won in this period was at home in the League Cup against a poor Tranmere team currently mid-table in League One.

Hold your nerve people it's STILL too early, after the time he has been here Sean at least deserves more time to turn it around. If however at the end of November we are cut adrift THEN it would be time to act.

He has to go this week, the club has gone stale and the signs were there last season. The place needs freshening up, someone positive. I frickin wished we could have got Nigel Adkins.

So it is time now for JR to invest in a loanee goalkeeper, centre half and centre forward. If these are quality players and it does not work then the managers position could be reviewed.

If these are quality players and it does not work then the managers position could be reviewed.You keep saying week after week that the Board hasn't invested enough. I've pointed out before the O'Driscoll himself has said this season that we have a Championship level wage bill now. So clearly the Board HAS invested. Can you state exactly HOW much you want them to spend over and above what they have spent already?Today, we had maybe 3 first 16 players out injured (Sharp, Mason, Woods). By all accountes, we were utterly dreadful despite having most of our squad available for selection. We're getting to the nub now. As the injury list is reducing in size, the excuses are also evaporating. If we don't start to pick up points now, then uncomfortable questions have to be asked of O'Driscoll's squad choice and management.And before anyone says \"Ah, yes, but BILLY is still not available\", THAT is half the point. If we are totally unable to compete (despite having a competitive wage bill) when one particular player is unavailable, then we have f**ked up catastrophically in our squad balance.

At the start of the season, he said that back in 08-09, we had a L1 wage bill, but now we have a Championship wage bill. The man said it himself.
Nearly 7 months since we won in the league.Nearly 8 since we wont at home.That a better statistic for you.The last time I saw us win a game that was a result of a Rovers playing scoring was New Years Day.It is f**king dire, the manager has to go. He has lost the dressing room, he has admitted as much himself. The board seem clueless of what to do. Either that or they don't give a toss. Worrying times ahead. Anyone who isn't worried and thinks all our problems will be solved once Billy is back is f**king deluded.
For no other reason than the fact that we appear to be having a collective lancing of the numerous perceived boils on this great club of ours, can I throw in to the mix Matt Kilgallon? How much did we shell out on this guy during his loan spell? He obviously has issues to deal with but as a straight business proposition, was this the worst signing SOD has ever made? Totally bizarre.
