Serious question. Poor signings, persisting with Muric when obvious he was not up to it, poor tactics such as tonight. All we needed was to have one other club to underperform to stay up and Wolves have given us that opportunity. We have no system of playing and look disjointed. Tonight was the time to go for it and we showed zero ability. Bringing on Sammy at the end was laughable. Appreciate the promotions but Premier league is different standard. |  | | |  |

Yes
Totally
Nobody can argue that. He’s been given the support and massive backing of the board and has been proven to not be up to the job YET.
We should have seen the writing on the wall when he decided to “repay” the players that got us here by starting so many of them in the first game of the season against Liverpool. Too sentimental and needs a stronger management team around him.
Brilliant Football League manager but nowhere nearly good enough for the top flight yet. Has a lot to learn. |  | | |

What worries me is that we never looked superior against top teams even in the Championship. We relied a lot on keeping going to the end and scoring late equalisers/winners. I'm not sure if that's a tactical issue with him but certainly we looked a bit poor against the Scum, Leeds and others last season. |  |

That game against Liverpool was one of the better performances of the season. Far better than the dross of late where the majority of new signings have played. | |

You watch and listen to the bt commentators tonight and even savage was it was gleeming 2nd half about the way town played the game.
That for me is what it's all about for KM this season.
You can't tell me any different with the way we played that game tonight. |  |

To be honest you make a good point there. Nevertheless, we had a terrible summer transfer window and that has been proven. | | | |

I never feel we handpick or research the right players. Muric was a big outlay and Burnley fans told us he was a headless chicken in goal. I didn't understand the signing of Johnson, even on a free. I saw the pre-season friendly against Fortuna Dusseldorf and they were so far ahead of us in terms of tactics, pressing and quality of play that it was a bit daunting. | |

Whether I agree with the point made or not - I don't think a football manager putting their career above the club they're currently at is the controversial opinion you think it is. | |

If he showed any willingness to be tactically adaptable I'd say something but it's like groundhog day, just the same mistakes over and over again. How is this a demonstration of learning as others say KM is doing? I genuinely don't get this argument. |
Agree. 4-2-3-1, play 8 players under 5 ft 8 who are instructed to play slowly and methodically from the back against much better players. I sense there is zero defensive focus either.
He's really struggled in the last 8 games. Been totally figured out by all the coaches who actually tinker their approaches for the game and work on specific solutions to one off dynamics. |  |

He's bemoaning physicality tonight, but Delap aside who have we signed over the summer who is physical enough to impose themselves on games? It feels like every signing has been lightweight, and now we're surprised we're struggling in terms of strength. | |

I really hope you are correct but his big challenge now is building a new centre midfield and finding a Delap replacement to get us back up. |
Don’t worry, we have AAH to join the squad next year to take us back up… and yes, some will seriously suggest/want/accept that. |  |

First game or two it was so obvious we were small and weak. Needed physical presence immediately.
We had Morsy, Philogene, Omari and Clake in midfield today. They are all built like soup. | |

Other than Hutchinson and possibly Philogene are any of our players under 5'8"? Agree about the defensive frailties though, other than Palmer (who replaced another of this seasons signings) have any of our defensive signings improved the squad from the Championship/League 1. |  | | |

I've always said it, though, even in the Championship and League One - you got put whoever you want at the back, they're going to struggle with little to no support from midfield. We can't keep the ball and we can't win the ball back so where's it going to end up? | |

I was watching luton last season, and even though they got very low points ..they looked far more energetic, more ball in to the box ,long ball and short, and kept it off the ground, If only they had delap ,Clarke, im thinking that they would have stayed up ..our guys are slow in build up .and no ideas up front and very light players too.. | | | |

At the moment he clearly is. Not sure how you can make an argument otherwise. That’s not to say he won’t one day make a great PL manager. | | | |

His next big challenge should be rebuilding his defensive coaching team. Set pieces particularly. [Post edited 26 Feb 22:19]

The fact that until tonight only Brentford were better at defending set pieces this season not worthy of anything then? |  |
