Assuming that Burnley beat Brighton (who are 2nd in the league), and since when did finishing 6th become a bad thing? Slade has been quoted that our target is to finish in the play offs and are only 3 points off at the moment.
Beat Burnley and we're back in the mix.

I agree, but we won't beat Burnley

Burnley are a good side. We will set up to defend against them at home-similar result imo

Believe me, they weren't that great.
Didn't have to be though to roll us over easily as we showed no intention of putting them under any pressure until they were 2-0 up.

We are 10pts of top 8pts off most play off teams and yes final place 3pts off, for me your clutching at straws, how many times have we been in the top 6 under Slade?
We should not be just praying for 6th place, but at least top 2 with the squad we had in August

Slade's target at the beginning of the season was to achieve a play off place by the end of the season. As things stand, that is still VERY achievable based on the league table. Sacking a manager doesn't guarantee a better season, I think we should keep some stability whilst we still have some.
How many of you reacted like this when we drew with Bristol City and Ipswich after we beat Middlesbrough? Then all of sudden you were all jumping with joy when we beat Reading and the sounds of "Slade out" died out for a couple weeks. Will this happen again if we beat Burnley?
Some may think I'm clutching at straws but I'm being very realistic. I will admit defeat when we are defeated, but we are far from defeated. Now is the time to support the club whilst we are in a very decent position, not to call for drastic changes.

Remember Jon the Reading win had nothing to do with Slade. He would have picked a different side if his hand hadn't been tied.

I don't think Slade's target was to achieve a play off place. I think that would be a bonus. I believe his target was to maintain Championship status while a massive cost cutting excercise was going on. If the target was a play off place and hopefully a return to the PL, he would have been given some funds to bring in a few quality players, and in all probability, he would'nt have been employed by us in the first place if promotion was Tan's priority. I don't like the style of football we play under Slade, but he is doing what he has been employed to do, so I think we are stuck with it for a while yet. We are still much higher than we have spent most of the last 50 years, and are probably at the right level for a club of this size.

To be fair your right Jon, sacking Slade whilst Tan is still in control, will prob make no difference at all.
I have not said to sack him, I have said the football is poor/bad and it is.
