Me too. Warboys and Bannister were on fire that season though. 28 games unbeaten from the start of the season (and still didn't win the league!).

[Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

Me too. Still have the match programme!
Up to about the 7th. goal, I was always thinking we could get back into it - it was just unfortunate that every time they hoofed the ball up to Bruce (?) and Bannister, they scored!
Edit: Yes, of course it was Warboys and Bannister!

Playing this style, knowing that the defenders are slow is suicide.
Does he not watch them in training ?
Brainwashed himself into giving them super powers.
The first half was an absolute horror show !
He should watch the replay of it a few times as therapy.

Which reminds me, I need to book a restaurant for next week.

We've got where we are today by being patient with managers and players. Why would we throw that away now?

I'd honour his contract then extend if it goes well

Just ridiculous to even be having a conversation about the manager’s position.
We’re not that trigger happy kind of club. Even if we were, we’ve only had a few games and he’s just lost his first one. I can’t see any situation where we sack FH this season.
What if we’re bottom, you may sneer? Well we won’t be. We’ve got some very good players. I’m still anticipating a 10th ish finish. Not a chance we’re even in a relegation fight.
And ignore the matchday threads. The standard of bedwetting is incredible. I kind of understand it. It’s the emotions doing the talking. People are just using the thread as a convenient vent. That’s ok. Most are talking about things much more sensibly, if not on here, in the cold light of day

Eerily similar to Saturday except Chelsea had Barndoor Jackson up top.I remember it only too well, but look where the two teams are now.

I'm mildly concerned at this point. The litmus test is whether he tweaks the approach for the next two games, both of which are against teams who are also lightening-fast on the counter attack. IF he doesn't tweak things and IF we were to get thrashed in both, I'd be upgrading to very worried.
Couldn't get to the end of the year 2024, could we?

I think if we still haven’t won by February, alarm bells would be ringing. But we’ll be fine and that won’t happen.

But he hasnt had much benefit from that £200m. Much of it out on loan or injured.

That post was from end of September. Not a lot has changed, except the defence has dropped a couple of yards due to lack of pace and still shipping goals for fun.
Georginho plays every game. For some reason Fab persists with hooking a sub standard Ayari after an hour instead of giving Wieffer a run. Minteh has been playing.
I don't know where Gruda fits in either. But all that is in addition to a fit Mitoma, Pedro and Baleba.
The only position where he's got an excuse is right back. But even then he's managed to turn Lamptey into a pub league defender.
All in all, rather worrying so far that we all seem to be hoping the answer is the new coach coming in January.
