Is today 'must win' for Sami?

[Bozza]

I can't see us getting too much at Bournemouth, particularly after the excitement and exertions of the midweek trip to Spurs. Is today 'must win' for Sami?

 

[Dan Aitch]

No, but it is "mustn't lose".

 

[Rugrat]

I think it might be. I would like to stick with him but it could lead us into unacceptable "short term" problems and I think that relegation could be catastrophic for the club.

Nobody really knows what happens to the support if we are relegated (previous times are different) but I can't see TB taking the risk

 

[Beach Hut]

It may well be given the propensity for football club Chairmen to pull the trigger so quickly these days

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If we lost today and then at Bournemouth I think he'll be gone, a draw might be okay though so gone with no.

 

[Napier's Knee]

Should be but won't be.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's all about the home performance for me. If we play like we did against Cardiff, I'll be reassured we're back on track and can kick on. If we play like we did against Middlesbrough, I'd say we were drifting dangerously towards the rocks.

 

[Insel affe]

A draw today, heavy defeat on Wednesday and defeat at Bournmouth will have me screaming for his head......

 

[Wrong-Direction]

A defeat and I'm afraid I'll be calling for Sami's head

 

[LamieRobertson]

Defeat and i'll avoid NSC for a few days

 

[grummitts gloves]

Shouldn't be, unless he was responsible for bringing in the players that are woefully sub standard compared to the one's we sold.

 

[British Bulldog]

It should be, fail to win today and we equal Blackpool's run of 10 league games without a win which is the worst in the Championship so far.

 

[Nitram]

No, but it is "mustn't lose".

Spot on, and needs a good performance

Afraid so, just doesn't seem able to get us going. Whether it's his coaching/managing ability or that he just doesn't have the players at his disposal to play his way, I'm not sure. Maybe he isn't a lucky manager. We just can't continue in this vein. Looks like he's already lost the dressing room, and is in danger of losing the fans too

Did he make any effort to win the fans over? He's never tried to connect with us - perhaps because he is a shy and quiet Fin, perhaps because he doesn't care, perhaps because he is too arrogant - the persistence with a failing system suggests arrogance. I wanted to like him, I really want him to do well (don't need to like him if he's good) but don't think he will.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

It ought to be- in fact he should be gone by now but he'll probably survive!

Just about spot on I feel.

Hope you are exercising those vocal chords!

Seriously. He will be okay. My wife has had a bad turn during the night and can't travel or be left so we won't be there today.......it could be just the good omen Sami needs

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

Well, a loss or a score draw wouldn't be an advantage even if we did get a point from the latter.

 

[Captain Sensible]

For me this is a must win. If we don't and it's down to the way we are set up/playing/team selection, then I'll be a Sami Out!
However I can see the board sticking with him right up until it's too late.
