Don’t think Cesar Peixoto is up to the demands of the Championship.
He’s another nice guy.
Mowbray, Nuno and the Birmingham manager have all outwitted him with in game tactic changes and we’re not getting the required results even though we have better players than most of our opponents.

Let's wait until he has the team out there that he wants to pay before passing judgement. It's still early days. Give the guy a chance to do that.

It's five games in and Nuno is on the exact same points as Cesar despite having a better squad and despite having a six month head start! I'm not saying he's the answer, but let's give him some time to actually work with the squad that he's had to cobble together at the last minute due to more, yet more pee poor planning from Fosun.
I think what concerns me currently is the lack of clean sheets. We have one of the worst defences in the league right now (statistically), and that needs to change, and quick. ?

If he can sort the defence out, we'll be fine. Trippier's return will, no doubt, be most welcomed, as not only will it strengthen the starting 11, Jackson will also be able to learn from one of the best RBs in recent history.

If Trippier can turn Jackson into a decent footballer that would be in the realms of miracles.

Wait until CP has the team he wants on the pitch?
Will that be before the West Brom game or after? Most of the fans want to win this one more than any other game this season.
As you point out, BB, CP has exactly the same points as Nuno, and we are currently sitting on the edge of the play off zone, but he has two points less than James Morrison, who has only been in the job for a few months, but is already ahead of us with a worse squad, the same as the other 8 teams above us.
Chris Wilder is no mug either, and I will be surprised if we get any points from that game. By the time the game arrives, we could be in the bottom half of the table with low confidence, and in-house fallouts between the players who want to be here and the ones going through the motions until they get the move to a club they want to be at.

Actually want to change manager again after the bloke's only had 5 games? Ridiculous, mate. To be honest, I completely disagree with you. I value everyone has an opinion, but come on, he's 5 games in, we don't want to change managers after 5 games.

He needs to sort the defence.
let's see how he goes over the next couple of games.
It needs to be resolved quickly!

I didn't say 'change the manager,' Simon/Laura. I just said that I don't think he has the experience to get us promoted, and the teams that do go up will likely have battle hardened Championship managers.
We've gone from 7th in the Premier, and considered best of the rest, to sitting just outside the play off zone in the Championship, which is now eight teams instead of six.
It's not CP's fault, but Fosun and CP will get treated the same as our last six or seven managers sooner or later.
Won't he?
