We all have different opinions about him,for me we couldn't close out the early season games at Wolves and Bournemouth and now as the season comes to a close,Newcastle points to a problem he just can't solve.Granted it’s been inconsistent and frustrating at times
We should have coasted the game against Newcastle
As I said in an earlier post Silvas ability to organise a defence still worries me and his game management needs to dramatically improve but we knew that when he signed.
He knows this is his last shot at the big time , if he messes up here I doubt he will get a big job again
Most of us knew that in a transition season results and performances would be inconsistent, but at this stage of the season I would expect to see some consistency emerge
It has improved over the last 4 matches with just 2 poor 45 min spells in those games but when it’s bad it’s very bad
Playing the same 11 over the next 7 games should help.
If Zouma is a possibility for a permanent transfer maybe him and Mina together should be tried otherwise the same 11 and see how we go
Bernard seems to have settled ( apart from goalscoring ) and as was mentioned the front 7 seems to be settled so play them and see what needs to be fixed
Same table that would’ve had us 16th last year. We have certainly been a bit unfortunate.Something like an Alternative Premier League Table you mean

When you're using a drawn game against a team above us, away, in which we had to play more than half the game with 10 men, as a stick to beat the manager with, it's probably fair to say you're not giving him a fair crack of the whip.We all have different opinions about him,for me we couldn't close out the early season games at Wolves and Bournemouth and now as the season comes to a close,Newcastle points to a problem he just can't solve.
Well they're never going to come out and publicly state the league position they expect us to finish in are they? That would be crazy.I don,t believe that "transition" is interchangeable with going backwards (from a results perspective but as I have repeated on many occasions until the club actually spells out the club performance targets every season..then we are all being kept in the dark,

I've said it before but people's idea of transition is laughable. People love to say they'll accept transition but they hate the reality of it. There was a post on here yesterday saying that transition and inconsistency was fine, as long as it was the sort of inconsistency that saw us get 70 odd points and only lose 6 games all season. That's never happening. Other people would seemingly accept transition which meant that we finished 10th as long as we played beautiful football every game and only dropped points due to bad luck and poor refereeing. Again, it's fanciful stuff. Real transitional seasons involve the manager trying to work out who he likes and who he doesn't, trying out people in different positions and different formations which might fail badly, players falling out with the manager because they don't like his methods or they feel like they're not getting the games they deserve, and previous regulars in the side being phased out and other people needing to step up to the plate. It's not often just a nice seamless change with the occasional hiccup which is what some people to expect, it's a process which usually involves getting worse before you get better.
I wish I could see the poll but I don't vote in this one on principle. It's not like it will change anything and it's probably a better question to ask from next season.
Are you positive or negative over Silva and be able to change the vote... then I'd get involved.
