i think were in real trouble boys, we need 19 points to stay up (sad I know) and our next fixtures are stoke (h) newcastle (a) hull (a) city(h) palace(a) and the reds (h) I can't see us winning any of those, maybe stoke but that will be a very tough game. we just seem so slow in everything we do, we have no end product and are playing players out of position every game, I know lukaku hasn't been at his best but I do feel a little sorry for him, he gets no service at all so ends up coming deep to collect the ball and what's happend to our full backs?? we hardly ever put a cross into the box, we are terrible at corners and have no plan b once all the passing breaks down, I personally think lukaku would have scored much more goals under david moyes, when we were chasing a game or looking for a winner we would have lumped the ball forward and played off the front man and that's ok to do but bobby just won't budge on his set up, its soo frustraing. honestly if he doesn't change and drop his stubborn tactics soon then were only going to slip further down the table.

I don't think there is anything wrong with our style of passing it and I prefer this than hoof it to fellaini and it has proven to be a winning formula. I don't think it's a case of other teams knowing how to play against us now I think it's a case of players with no confidence and the need to get passing quickly it's a catch 22 situation. Maybe it's more if a case of we play narrow if we play Naismith eto & Barkley, it means the opposition full backs can advance this pushing back baines & Coleman which prevents a lot of service and one of our main threats. Is it possible to get Delefeou back on loan or is it not allowed due to him being on loan already and only being allowed to register with so many clubs in a season. Mcgeady is a confidence player which is lacking, Atsu has not shown anything yet, piennar has not shown any form for a while either due to injuries and mirrallas is the only threat we have had and he has not been available enough. Maybe it would be better to play Coleman RM and Hibbert/browning at RB and Oviedo/baines LM and garbutt at LB to keep the width. Just a thought as a supporter I am sure Roberto has thought of this he's the one with the coaching license A.

{Ed025's Note - its as though his coaching license has expired robbie..

I agree with the Lakaku comment and judging by his body language think he might be getting a little sick of it, If we don't pick up any points in the next couple of games somebody high up has to question Martinez and his tactics. Its as if he has lost the dressing room somehow and everybody looks lost. Fingers crossed we can get over this but we must get points in the next couple of games or I fear the worse.

{Ed001's Note - he has not lost the dressing room, the players and staff (and media for that matter) all love Martinez, as he is a genuinely nice guy. Maybe that could be the problem, if anything, that no one is scared of him because he is so nice?}

The Catalan Clown specialises in taking teams backwards, he did it to Wigan, now it has started on us. I laugh when I see him constantly linked to the likes of Arsenal and the 'dead cert' to manage Barcelona next.

Wigan under Steve Bruce finished 14th and then 11th. Solid foundation there.

Martinez gets a grip of them and finishes 16th 16th 15th and then relegated in 18th. Superb job done there.

The Real Mike: so what about RM's record as manager at Swansea City?

I can't be bothered checking Cowpat. I just know I want The Catalan Clown out of this club now. Sick of the sight of him mate. Can't stand that smug look any longer.

I do think bobby is the man for us, I won't be one of those calling for him to be sacked, he just needs to have a more direct route when all the tippy tappy passing doesn't work, we have a great spine of a team, stones, macca, barkley and lukaku, all very good players and still very young with room to improve but barry needs to be dropped then have macca and besic cm, a winger in january is a must.

The Real Mike: fair enough, mate. Who could (realistically) replace him AND who do you actually want?

Rob, I don't think know if he would have scored more goals under Moyes to be honest! Watch him all game and he is dreadful in the air! Never wins a header and he even load looked scared of the ball for his og yesterday, was cowering away from it. When he goes for headers it looks as though he can't be arsed and just wants to make it look as though he is trying for it when he is really not. It's not just Lukaku not putting his all in though, baines was beaten so easily to get the cross in yesterday. Could do with some more shouting rather than Molly coddling in the dressing room I think, scare em big dunc!

I think Roberto is a great manager, would hate to see him leave, think next season we will see the best in him.
