I don't want to rush into anything as I've never thought the solution is dismissing managers early on, but there are worrying alarm bells going off for me. We kept conceding late goals before the international break, despite playing football that was better to watch than Slade's rubbish, and since that break we've now conceded three goals in both games we've played. Confidence is very clearly low.

In truth, whilst part of me says to see if we can get a win from our next two games, I think he probably needs to go now if he's going to go. It's still early and another manager could turn this around.

Jesus, maybe even Trollope could make this work. I just don't feel it right now.

If we lose at home on Saturday I'd get shot! Yes it's early days but we are already a long way behind. Worst start in over a decade, -6 goal difference and averaging less than a point a game! While there's still time to turn things around, IMO Trollope is not the man.

His cv should have told us that he was going to struggle at this level! He was sacked by Bristol rovers! He is a number 2 . We got rid of slade yet pretty much kept the same coaching staff but with a less experienced and unproven manager. There was no way things were going to improve! No club is too big to go down, wolves, Leeds, sheff wed, soton have all been down to league 1! That's were we will be unless we put a stop to this abysmal set up.


He keeps going with this formation but has players out of their position to accommodate the set up. Players are uncomfortable with it, evidence is clear!

He needs to change the set up and formation for Saturday! 4 at the back. We had the same defence last season!! Harris is not a wing back, peltier is not a centre back!

If we are to keep with Trollope, he needs help ASAP. What does Lennie do apart from move his false teeth around his mouth!
