...just looked through the EL tables to see if any teams were doing surprisingly well and noticed Zenit are running away with their group and have a very attractive goal difference. I wasn’t aware their manager is Roberto Mancini. I suppose such analysis doesn’t prove much as their plight might not have been as bad as ours when he joined earlier this year.

I hope our recruitment team are searching the globe for a manager who has truly turned a club’s fortunes around. Surely there are coaches out there that meet our criteria and surely we are looking to identify them.

I think the globe we are pocking around in will be the NW of England. And Dudley.
 
Something tells me that the board have already wrapped up and potential manager and that Unsworth is aware of this - hence why he seemed to distance himself from the job today.

All said and done, I'm pretty sure that whoever comes in will do a better job than the previous two. We seem scarred defensively from Martinez, and bereft of confidence from the negative Koeman.

Moving on, I think it's imperative that we (as a club) have a long term plan in place to ensure that we don't find ourselves down this end of the table for too long.


Attitude from the players also needs to be spot on, whoever comes in. We're where we're at because of performances, but we're still early on in the season.

Losses against the likes of Leicester and Burnley have proven that we've ultimately regressed as a team - despite spending £150m in the summer.

Looking forward to the immediate future, we need to invest in a forward, and a left sided defender. Questions need to be raised about the board and their handling of transfers this summer. We missed out on Kolasinic and Giroud, and had no plan B. This simply cannot continue.

Aerially we look weak both defensively and offensively. Our set pieces (which should be the easiest part of the game to get right) are appalling, despite the fact we've signed a dead ball specialist in Sigurdsson. Whoever comes in needs to drill the players with defensive solidity and provide some form of structure in attack.

Reality bites, I understand - but I still believe that we can turn this season around. We've looked good in glimpses, it's just a matter of lengthening those glimpses into 20-30 minute phases.

Do I think we'll go down? I don't know, but we have plenty of quality in the squad that should (on paper) see us safe.

You can never be sure with a league as strong as ours, and I hope the players see it like that - otherwise we're in real trouble.

Coleman has been a huge miss though, and as much positivity I can take from young Jonjoe - he's limited when you compare it to the pace and width our first choice fullback can offer.

Everton though. Wouldn't change it for the world.

I'd have Mancini, or even van Gaal. Better options than Allardyce or Dyche if the primary concern is to tighten up at the back.

Also, I'm convinced that this toxic dressing room needs a strong personality. Koeman had the advantage of being a former great player who naturally commands respect, but was far too dispassionate and aloof to leverage it into something truly beneficial. He reminds me of Mark Hughes in that he seems to carry himself as an ex-player first, and a manager second.
 

...Bristol are doing ok.

They are indeed. The chairman stuck with Lee Johnson last season, think they had a 10 game losing streak, lost Tammy Abrahams, backed him with a few bob, and looks ok.

Not sure their manager is ready for us just yet mind.
