"Maybe the fans just want us to kick it long win 1-0. I've got no problem, I'll go home."

Sounds a bit pathetic to me personally. If he cant take criticism then his going to struggle as a manager.

All he is saying is that he's not going to change his philosophy, and is passionate about it. He really isn't saying that he's going to leave at the slightest criticism.

I think people forget he is an inexperienced manager and he is still learning too. It took him a season to get to grips with league one, but looked what happened once he saw what was required? Consolidate this seasons, bring in a few more players of the right quality, with all due respect to the current crop, and we'll be fine.

Spot on. I totally agree with this...and the OP.

I know it'll take a while to get it spot on at this level. I see us more of a Swansea than a Norwich (beautifully passing and needing 2/3 years - maybe a little less in our case).

Gus is learning the division and new things about his current players now that they've been thrust into a higher level. Some changes can and will be made as a result. This month is the time for the changing process to start as we have already started to see with Harper, Jara Reyes and Paynter.

Don't forget also we have had injury probs to our key players since day one. Now Dicker joins that club.

I've got no doubts that Gus knows what he's doing and obviously the board think the same as well otherwise him and Tanno would'nt have been given new contracts, The only problem we've got is too many impatient fans with the "Results Now" mentality rather than appreciating what Gus is trying to build here. He said right from the start it's about giving the players a chance and seeing where we're at and it was only fair that a lot of last seasons players that took us up were given that chance but now 13 games into the season he's identified area's that need strengthening and he's doing it and look at some of the quality we've got here now. It's only a matter of time before results turn back in our favour again then hopefully all the moaners will crawl back under they're stones and let the rest of us get on with enjoying the football.

Also this!

Give the guy a break!!! He feels passionate about his job, he cares and it hurts him as much as it hurts us when things don't go right. I totally agree with everything else on this thread.
