Sounds like West Brom fans are starting to turn against him, so he knows it's time to get out.

Lack of ideas is glaringly obvious - the players look lost and confused.
Always one step forward and two back…

"I don't understand why tv pundits heap plaudits onto CC. He is, at best, a middle of the road coach. As a long time Albon follower i can't see any real progression/threat under his leadership. I hope I'm wrong but i can't see us being promoted this season, either automatic or through the play-offs."

Carlos Corberan will be looking for a new job unless they pick up points during a very difficult Christmas period. I think if they don't get 9 points from the next 5 games he'll be gone.

We all know Ankersen's management recruitment motto:
# Embrace Failure
Of course, any sane person knows if you embrace it, don't be surprised if that's what you get. [Post edited 19 Dec 16:39]

A third mid-table Championship manager in a row and they expect the results to be any different?
Ankersen is stubborn and narrow-minded. There's a whole world out there to choose from, which is what successful clubs do, but, unfortunately for us, SR don't. |

Good Premier League strikers, like top managers, don't usually come from the Premier League. There is a whole world out there to find one from, which is what successful clubs do. It will be useful to monitor who Newcastle are interested in now that they've got the best head of recruitment we ever had, Paul Mitchell, in charge. [Post edited 19 Dec 16:18]

He is a very likeable character, who brings a smile to people's faces and he tries hard. But, we really do need to buy a new centre forward in January as the ones we've got just don't score anywhere near enough goals. |

He missed 2 absolute sitters, when it would have been easier to score than miss. One was a simple nod in with his head, which he couldn't manage and the other was a tap in from a few yards out, when he somehow got his legs all tangled up. I've never seen anything quite like it. I keep hoping that, one day, the ball is going to accidentally bounce off of some part of him into the net.
Everybody was cheering and laughing when he ran with the ball as it was like watching a clown running. In fact, it was like the cheering you get when a fan invades the pitch and then falls over. We knew at the end of the run, he would lose control of the ball. He looks so uncoordinated. BUT, you can't help but like him. [Post edited 19 Dec 14:25]

Now that we have a proper home end, I enjoy the atmosphere at games so much more. Our home games actually sound like home games now and we no longer have to put up with the away fans gloating at us from the Northam. Until they scored, I never even noticed there were any away fans there.
Unfortunately, something hasn't changed: we're still stuck with Alex McCarthy. Why oh why can't we get rid of him??? He's cost us so many games. I wonder what might have been over the years if he'd never come here. Maybe we'd have even won a trophy. |

Last night's performance, although it was nothing special, showed the harm that a manager can do. Freed of the shackles imposed on them by Russell Martin, our team was at last able to play without the stupid sideways and backwards passes in our own half with which we've been gifting so many goals to the opposition, and instead just focus on trying to win a game of football. |

According to the Liverpool sites, they'll be fielding mostly reserves, including a couple of youngsters from their academy, a bit like they do when they face lower league teams in cup games.
Nallo, Morton and Norris sound like definite starters and Nyoni is likely to play at some stage. Chiesa will make a rare appearance too. Only 3 players will remain from their starting lineup against us in the league game: Kelleher, Gakpo and Nunez.
Hopefully, we'll surprise them tonight by not passing sideways and backwards in front of our goal, although they'll still be looking to exploit McCarthy's limbo dancing whenever he faces a shot at his near post. [Post edited 18 Dec 18:00]

There were about 3,000 tickets left when I last looked, which is about what you'd expect for a League Cup game against a team we lost to at St Mary's before also losing our last 2 home games, 1-5 and 0-5. The price increase and the predicted gale force winds and heavy rain will put any fair weather fans off buying the remaining tickets. I expect the vocal support will be good though, as it was against Spurs. |

They don't seem to know how to do anything else: a third manager of a mid-table Championship team in a row. It's as if that is their aim for us too.
They must look at the Championship table to see who the managers of the mid-table teams are. By the time SR and Ankersen finally depart, we'll have tried them all.
It is possible to bring in exciting managers from abroad, like all the top teams do, as Bournemouth and Brighton have proved with Iraola and Hurzeler, and as we once did with Pochettino and Koeman. None of them had "Championship experience" or even Premier League experience until they came here, which was probably just as well. [Post edited 17 Dec 14:54]

SR are doing the same again: getting another manager of a mid-table Championship team and expecting the results to be different. Is it just Ankersen being stubborn; refusing to admit that he's wrong? |

The latest in the media is that it can only be someone who is unemployed as we can't afford compensation, so that rules Rohl out. |

He surprised us last time by getting us relegated with a better team than we have now. It wouldn't be any surprise at all this time. |

I agree. At least having a proper home end now is something we can feel proud of, in spite of the miserable performance on the pitch. |

The players were already aware that Martin would be sacked if they lost badly and so was he. Apparently, the message came through to Martin after the third goal went in, so by half-time, Martin and the players already knew he'd been sacked. That might help explain the improved effort by the players in the 2nd half. [Post edited 16 Dec 10:11]
