The fixtures haven't been great

But it's still a disastrous run of form

Leicester the only top side we've faced away from home and still lost all 5

It's the away form which is killing us. Picked up just 2 more points away from home at this stage compared to under Worthington and it's the away form which killed us that season

  - he doesnt chose who to sign (NCFC) - pab, Mar 8, 09:29:38
  - Why should him spending money mean he keeps his job? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:10:35
    - Why give him the money in the first place... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 09:12:35
      - Er I don't think the plan was to change manager! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:17:35
        
        It happens Ferguson would never have achieved ... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 09:20:03
        
        Oh right everyone could be the next fergie (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:21:57
        
        Not what I'm saying but the point remains (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 09:28:22

  - Won't be if they stay up (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 09:04:44
    - Would still be outrageous..... because he might keep them up anyway. (NCFC) - JD3, Mar 8, 09:07:34
      - It may be "modern football" but the fact is that clubs want to stay in the prem (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 09:16:47
        
        I believe every prem club who has sacked their manager this season (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 09:21:02
        
        that is a fairly meaningless statistic though (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 09:37:23
        
        Right so our talent level is worse than the Worthington season ok (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:01:15
        
        only the Swansea one is vaguely impressive (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 10:31:38
        
        Sunderland is highly impressive (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:35:05
        
        40 points is about what most people would have expected at the start of the season (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 10:40:39
        
        Isn't that what AN expected too? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:47:19
        
        Would you like him to be sacked I presume? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 10:52:51
        
        I am just saying that it shouldn't be treated with outrage (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:55:50
        
        Indeed I understand that but on a personal level... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 10:59:58
        
        If we had someone decent lined up (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 11:04:56
        
        That's a bit vague though... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 11:09:25
        
        "someone decent" (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 11:13:25
        
        If we have nobody lined up then no option but to stay (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 11:11:59
        
        Clears things up... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 11:18:33
        
        Correct I would rather we tried to stay up (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 11:23:39
        
        Not by me (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 10:52:38
        
        Well at the moment we are on target for 31 points (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:59:38
        
        I agree we are (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 11:10:52
        
        The fixtures haven't been great (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 11:19:40
        
        Year wonder if hull and burnley fans were clamouring... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 09:41:42
        
        Some probably were. They went down and with respect Burnley (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 10:18:38
        
        Yeah I do recall Burnley didn't try to improve the team much (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:20:35
        
        Thought they did and held Lee darnbrough ... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 10:23:15
        
        Well they spent under 10 million for the season (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:30:08
        
        Hull were mostly 15th in the 3 months before May (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:06:37
        
        1 point from last 4 games sent them down (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:07:49
        
        Bit like us when we got rid of hoot then (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 10:18:40
        
        Not really as they won their 2 games before the last 4 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:23:14
        
        4 home games out of 5 to finish the season too (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:25:20
        
        Even Villa? (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Mar 8, 09:32:30
        
        You have zero evidence of this Jim... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 09:18:35
        
        Proper investment in the squad at the start of the season for one thing (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 09:33:50
        
        you accept the argument for sacking is finely balanced (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 8, 09:54:33
        
        But has seen improvement for all prem clubs this season (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 8, 10:08:50
        
        Still wouldn't prove anything (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 8, 09:41:38
        
        No I don't think Neil is performing well and as i said yesterday, a club like us (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 10:16:59
        
        You've still not listened to that interview have you... (NCFC) - loz, Mar 8, 09:39:47
        
        vmt (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 8, 09:55:03
