For months I have said JACKETT should be sacked! Surely now is the time! I think a Pearson or Paul Cook should be brought in. If Morgan is lookin to stay and reinvest either of these would be excellent. If on the other hand he's still sellin then get Paul Ince or Warnock, whichever way Morgan goes concerning the club we def need a change of manager now! Even with this squad I'm positive any of those 4 named would get more out the players than JACKETT can! We're not going up or down so change it now and give the fans some belief as our club is speedin along into mediocracy.

Paul mate, Pearson or Cooky? There is absolutely no comparison here Pearson wins hands down in this contest as he is tried and tested.

K. J. as to go after that performance as not got a clue, selling, buying team selection says it all really useless cannot watch that and will not, going nowhere absolute rubbish, please can someone buy our club and get shut of the idiots who run it .
CENTRE FOREWARD are you listening. K. J. given you a clue start there, easy really when you are clever like me.

Yes I agree Pearson would be better but Cooky is the cheaper option! ) JACKETT has to go!

I'm surprised Kenny is still there. I don't think his job is in immediate danger, apart from anything else, Morgan doesn't want any more decisions to make, but Kenny must have had enough.
Seems like he is experimenting (read meddling) with team formations and player changes yet again. He brings in forgotten players, Rowe in this case - something that rarely has worked in the past. It's like he's bored or frustrated or both. He needs a new challenge, perhaps at Villa when they go down! Or he can stay and slog away like McCarthy at Ipswich with a chance of a playoff place in a good season. OK, if Dicko and Graham were still fit to play we'd be challenging for playoffs but equally we got Le Fondre in and now Mason too, so it's not like we're short of players proven at this level. Edwards, Henry, McDonald, Price all capable of tearing through teams at this level too. Even Coady and Van la Parra, two rather enigmatic players who look good and bad at the same time. So what's gone wrong?
Some strange decisions, especially letting Stearman and Golborne go. Two of our best players last season. Couldn't do much about Sako and Afobe I'll admit. Signings have been OK at best. Zyro should turn out well as should Williamson and hopefully Mason. But Wallace, Saville, Rowe, Byrne, Le Fondre, Ojo, Clarke. All wrong for Championship level. We're better signing a few quality players than 10 average players, occasionally dipping into loan market or youth setup when injuries prevail. Imagine if we had one more quality defender and one more quality winger. Imagine if we had Stearman and Jacobs on our books still?
Would a change in manager help? No, not straight away. This is Kenny's team and a new manager, if any good, will want to bring in their own players like Kenny did (very well) when he came in, and will want a budget beyond what Kenny appears to have. We could bring in a fixer like Pearson, Warnock or Holloway. But I would prefer a pedigree manager although even bringing in a pedigree manager doesn't always work (e. g. van Gaal, Moyes) . Curiously I think Moyes would do well at Wolves, if he could knock a zero off of his salary expectations. Rogers too. Otherwise I might look at Warburton (Rangers, Brentford) , Sherwood or even Redknapp. I think Paul Cook a bit too risky. Could be another Deano.

Warburton would be my first choice, although he seems quite happy in Glasgow.

All hypothetical as no one seems to want to sack him!? Steve Morgan give me a call il come and do it tonight!

Last night was a comedy. But for the absolute fluke wins over the Christmas/ New Year when we were terrible but somehow managed to win games we should have lost we'd be near rock bottom by now. Jackett has no excuse, he's got some quality in the squad, yes Jordan Graham's injury has been a blow (just when we finally all saw a breath of fresh air in the squad) but there is still some quality.
His constant meddling with the squad has me baffled, Jack Price would be the first name on my team sheet every week, the numbers don't lie regarding the amount of times he's played and we've not lost. VLP looked quality when he arrived and KJ quickly had him looking like an amateur, we send him out on loan and he comes back looking like he did when he signed. That can't be a coincidence?
He plays arguably the best striker we've had for years (who has already proved that he can score at the top level) up top on his own and with terrible service for months and then we sell him at a premium. Surely someone as inept as Jackett can see that playing Afobe in that role, at home as well, is just a complete waste of time?
I'm done with it, KJ ran out of ideas a long time ago. We were really lucky to finish where we did last season, lots of teams we played just didn't turn up on the day and our 7th place flattered us big time, giving folk false hope of better things to come.
Another complete lack of ambition in the window has me done with it this season, I'd rather stick forks in my eyes than watch that crap week in week out.
