If we go on a losing run?

Seems a daft question seeing as we’ve just lost one game since he took over, BUT I am seeing so many posts from NSCers who seem to think the high line is a really bad idea. It’s how he plays so I doubt he’ll be changing it.

I am happy to give him a full season as long as we don’t slip into the relegation zone and look like going down, I mostly like what I am seeing from FH and he is not being helped by the Brighton curse of injuries to key players already.

There seems to be quite a bit of dissatisfaction with how we are playing on here though.

How long will YOU give him before you want a change if we slip down the table and go on a losing run?

At least two further transfer windows, to bring in pace to cover the counter attack.

Creatively, patience with the ball, we’re a joy.

We've spent 200m and look an awful lot worse - at least in the Spring we could blame a lack of squad depth and RdZ checking out. I'll give him plenty of time before i want him gone, but it's very worrying atm. The gameplan seems non existent and the high line suicidal.

I’m like you flounce, he has the whole season for me unless we look seriously like getting relegated. New things take time but I won’t say that I’m not a bit worried at just how bad we look.

He’s doing well.

I’ll judge him at the end of the season. As will Bloom. I suspect top 10 is the realistic aim, nothing more than that.

Very early days, and we are 8th……

League position and winning is everything for me, and although I don’t see it happening, if we were in the bottom 3 come January, and still persisting with the ridiculous high line, then I think questions would need to be asked.

It is such a tough league, that if we ever looked like falling out of it, whether it’s Fab or anyone else, I’d probably want them out.

Yes. Full of the usual bedwetting bile after a loss.

I'm guessing it'll be sometime around 11pm after the analysis of Albion's high line on MOTD.

But joking aside, I'd expect some tactical changes at the back for next week.

Our defending is. We've also had a lot of luck so far apart from the Everton opener. United had a goal disallowed correctly but it was unlucky for them. Ipswich had the best chance of the match hitting the woodwork albeit their only chance of the game. The Arsenal point was good but again we got lucky with Rice's stupidity. Crawley played us off the park at times in cup and wolves missed sitters with our defence all over the place. Its early and Fabian is learning but this Premier league is unforgiving compared to the German 2nd division.
