We've invested in the future. Maddison, Canos, Godfrey, Thompson, Pritchard etc

Neil has played a significant part in that, hasn't he?

I see him also as one for the future too. Unless we are free-falling in the league with little chance of being amongst the top 6 at the end of the season, I don't see why changing him makes sense.

Like someone said down below, if Boro and Burnley can both get the same number of points as us after only 5 games and go on to get promoted, why can't we?? Did they change their managers??

      - I don't want to change him either. I do think there are signs he's losing belief from his (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Aug 28, 15:13:40
        
        I find it funny that last season we lost a lot of points due to individual errors and (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 28, 15:16:31
        
        One other thing. Where's the dig and the leadership in this side? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Aug 28, 15:15:08
        
        Great question. GON offered us that last season, I was not happy we let him go tbh (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 28, 15:23:43

        He came across as a leader to me. When he did play we had one of our better spells (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 28, 21:16:49

        O'Neil took up space on the pitch which could have been used by a better player. (NCFC) - APB, Aug 28, 15:28:43
