Too late with subs, and usually goes for the safe option... Doesnt seem to read the game well prior to kickoff and during the game...
To be perfectly honest, he's done relatively well in the transfer market and seems to do well in press conferences but besides that offers very little in terms of tactical coaching and team setup...

I think he will get a few more games only down to the new owners not wanting to sack a manager so soon after taking over the club. Having said that if they did sack him tonight I don't think many could really argue he is being unfairly treated.

well he had 76 players to pick from so he was not that shy in spending money, dont care how much a manager spends on players aslong as he is making good buys,,,rafa did not

The point is, moving a manager on should only be undertaken in the most extreme of circumstances. Arguably we may already be there, time will tell. We were there at the end of last season, and when you look at some of the players littering our squad it always amazes me that people think that having that as a result of a six year building plan was a good reason for keeping a manager.

Sacking Roy though would cost 6 million quid, and there's a good chance you could be paying out compensation to whoever you bring in. Then you've got the risk that the new bloke won't like Mereiles and there's another 10 million quid spunked, or Poulsen at 4.5 mill, or Konchesky at 3 mill. It's easy to see how swapping your managers willy nilly is the recipe for disaster. Swapping them only when you have to and then picking the right one is the way to go. It's looking a bit bleak for the choice we've made this time, but given the situation, the lack of games played and all that, in my judgement you might as well give the fella chance to turn it around.

That doesn't though mean I think he's doing a fantastic job, or that I love him, I don't.

6 million quid? bloody better keep him then lol or mug someone for and sell lucas to them to pat for it lol.

Yeh keep him.. and then when we get relegated we can count the cost of getting rid vs the £50+m, or whatever figure it is, for going down   

My fear is that the league is strong, there are no 'easy games' .. we know that. In the form we are in, we could easily get stuck and adrift from safety .. and then ?

Prevention is better than cure.. GET RID NOW, whatever the cost !
