I don’t want David Unsworth
We can’t afford to go down so
In no particular order, my three would be;
Dyche
Fat Sam
Fat Rafael

Fair enough, Dyche and Fat Sam would be safe bets I think, but Fat Rafael took the Geordies down so no guarantees with him.

I think Unsworth will be given a go, plenty of the season left and if it isn't turned round quick enough, there'll be time for a Fat Sam.

Have a good feeling about Unsworth though

I don't think people realise the situation we are in.

We probably don't have a striker in our ranks that has double figures in them, Rooney maybe with penalties. A pitiful Rooney at that.

A defence with three centre halves, two are finished, and one who's early promise has disappeared quicker than the Arteta money. A finished left back, A crocked right back, and a midfield where no-one has shown any form, that we have used about 12 different players in different positions, including a lad who started tonight who 9/10 fans never wven knew existed. Yet they welcomed him, because the rest have been abject.

We are in deep doggy. If you can't score, and don't keep clean sheets, you will fight relegation.

I agree with all that. But how will a new manager rather than Unsworth make it less the case? DU has the advantage of being able to motivate this lot. Our biggest danger is someone is brought in from outside and the players dont respond...THEN we are in massive trouble.

I'm not violently against a new manager being brought in, but I think we need to give DU a run of games as it will save us that risk, potentially.
 
Within 48 hours of officially becoming manager he instilled more belief and confidence in the team than we seen at all this season. Hasn’t even had time to build his ways into the group

It was massive improvement and proof of what can be done

But let’s not carried away and think he deserves the job full time. It was a major step in the right direction for him

Thankfully the owner will not think so and will not panic-hire bus-parking hoof merchants or risk-averse dullards.

We are in October, it's like the RS proclaiming they are in a title race every year after a good start. Just silly.

We need to make a calm and correct choice for manager based on a plan to take us forward, not based on the panic rising in your head after 9 games into a 38 game season

If he does well then he should get it till the end of the season and then a more experienced manager, who’s a winner, should be brought in.
Care taker managers who get brought in and then get the job full time seem to very rarely work out and are usually sacked within 12 months.

I gotta disagree. The new fella needs to be in before Jan. If there's money to be spent, and Oh God I hope there's money to be spent, then new guy has to be the one spending it. No point buying more players and then the new fella not wanting them either. Cos there's a lot here already that need to be shipped out.

As decent as that second half was, that first half was as bad as anything Koeman has give us. We had no shots in 45. I am sick of us giving teams headstarts.

There has to be a manager we can attract who has a better pedigree than a youth team manager. It's purely because who he is, people want him, someone in this thread buzzing a few posts ago because he grabbed the badge. Let's give him a Pardew 8 year contract for that

Fairs fair though: Unsworth had a training session with them. That's a tall order to get a game plan across. I think he corrected his team selection at HT and we responded.

We'll get a good manager if Unsworth doesn't work out. I'd just like to find out whether Unsworth cant be that good manager.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out which positions we need to strengthen the most. Surely it’s Walsh’s job to bring them in?!

Okay but 9 games is in excess of a quarter of a season, a quarter with 8 points.
 
What he's got to do is find a way of getting the new signings up and running. Because if he only has 4/5 games in charge and alienates them from the squad that could cause issues for a future manager. I'd love to see him get something out of Gylfi and Klassen.

Who would have thought it last season if you'd said we would have a 45m player getting splinters on the bench whilst a 24m player won't get in the squad
