Depends on circumstances but it might get to the point where we have little choice. However, I really think we were unlucky today and it would be extremely harsh to sack Hyypia on the back of that game.

Are you taking the piss? Firstly, he was fouled so it's irrelevant whether he stayed on his feet. Referee's complain about players going down but when they stay on their feet, they don't give the decisions. As for the rest, as with Huddersfield the referee booked us for almost anything while...

I don't understand why some people don't get this. Cook wanted regular first team football and we couldn't offer it (we did have better options). He was out of contract at the end of that season and would have left then anyway. Yet some people moan about things like that constantly. As you say...

What a pathetic thread. I assume you were at the match to have put this thread up. We gave Bournemouth a fantastic game and deserved a point. Why not go to games and support your team rather than slagging the manager off during the match on the Internet?

In again for me. Moved to out last week but thought we played well and it was bad luck, poor refereeing (especially clear penalty for LuaLua at 2-2) and defensive mistakes which cost us. You can't blame Hyypia for Greer's own goal or Dunk stupidly diving in for their penalty. It looks like the...

They're bringing in one (potentially two) players. Al Habsi is to cover injuries so doesn't count. Any team can make loan signings to cover injury problems. Bennett is a decent option to cover for a month, maybe more, and it would be great to sign him. Graham is potentially what we're missing as...

What a ridiculous post. So, the club can't win. If they don't sign anyone people moan and when they do, someone suggests it smells of panic. Or maybe we're just trying to rectify our mistakes.

Not sure how true that is. How many crosses have we had this season that have gone right across the box and nobody has got on the end of. If you stick with a three man midfield and play Ince and Holla as the more defensive options, the furthest forward of the three could be McCourt or Bennett...

Would be an interesting move if we could pull it off. If we could sign Graham and Bennett, it would certainly increase our attacking (and goal scoring) options.

Really interesting news. I understand the question marks some people have as he's not in Norwich's team. However, they have a much stronger squad, especially in attacking terms, than we do and Bennett seemed to really enjoy his two years down here before. Hopefully he can rediscover his form...

I agree with this. Chicksen did okay defensively. At Huddersfield he was awful but last night, with a lot of protection, he did okay against Townsend. However, going forward, he looked very poor and didn't know what to do when he got over the halfway line. There is definitely a middle ground...

Yes, it's funny. I sometimes think I watch different games to a lot of people. Pretty much agree with your other ratings although might have given JFC a slightly higher mark. It wasn't terrible last night but we never looked like pulling off a shock. Might have been interesting if we'd been...

I find this comment very strange (and you're far from alone in this view on here judging by the marks). I thought Hughes and Dunk were our two best players. Hughes reads the game superbly and was impressive in my view. I've been shocked how much lower Hughes is being marked on here than Dunk.

I'm not defending him as he's done nothing since joining but, on the face of it, £500K for a player who scored 15 goals for a relegated Championship side last year (only one less than the £8 million Ulloa) should be very good value. Something's not right with the way we're playing our forwards...

I would have agreed up until yesterday (at least with giving him time, not the season). However, yesterday was so poor and we were lucky to get a point. The tactics aren't working and Sami won't change them. Bloom sacked Slade at this point of the season with 2 wins and it worked out. He needs...

I think that is really harsh. Tony Bloom has gone for a slightly different type of manager to the average Championship manager but two out of three have done a great job. Hyypia looks like he's going to fail and I think that may bring an end to the experiment. Assuming Hyypia goes, I'd be very...

I was really looking forward to the Spurs game when it was drawn but it now feels a game we could do without. If we're keeping Hyypia, he could have done with a week with the team and a break for the players. There are quite a few not looking great, Greer being an example yesterday as he was...

Just looking at our next four away games in the league, we've got Bournemouth (4th), Norwich (6th), Derby (1st) and Wolves (3rd). Anything we get out of those games would be a bonus so we have to start winning our home games, not holding on for a point against bottom half teams! If that doesn't...

Change the formation. It's simple the wing back system is not working. Solid back four which won't leave us so exposed. Going forward give McCourt a go from the start as we won't need him to defend if our defence is solid. Or failing that, aim for corners as it's the only way we can score...

I've changed my view to agreeing with this now. We haven't got the best squad in the league but there must be managers out there who could do better than this. As much as I hate to say it, Steve Evans would definitely be one judging by yesterday.
