Beginning to think its time for a change

Will probably be accused of being "knee-jerk" and told we need to give Grant time but I have to say that from previously being a Grant supporter I am now erring very much towards the "get him out before its too late and install an experienced manager" camp.

He clearly talks a good game which got him the job but with the way things are going i can see us getting relegated if we are not careful. Everything about the was we are playing at the moment is just wrong. Hucks is not happy, players are having their confidence undermined by the management, the team selections are bizarre (Why oh why did he bring Muggy in at left back on saturday and (I assume) play Hucks on the right when Lappin could have been left back, hucks left wing and Croft play right?), the centre back weakness that Stevie Wonder could have pointed out at the start of the summer remians totally unresolved.

The board either need to back their man and make some serious cash available to Grant now so he can bring is some quality loans or they should get rid and bring in someone experienced like Warnock (never thought i would say that!).
