Pressure

[marjie002]

suppose he will offer his resignation (he may have done this) MM must be fed up by the lack of quality managers around where does he turn next?

Presumably if we are 5/2 against for relegation, the bookies have at least three clubs on shorter odds. Does not this mean that the bookies feel that those clubs are more likely to go down than we are?

The odds are largely reflective of the money laid by punters.

If we ask a more direct footballing question - like say " Which are currently the worst three form sides in the division?" - then there might be a different picture.

Those can change though

Of course they can:icon_conf

Alex, when he went to QPR they were in a terrible state. Soon after he joined them, they went into admin too. They went down and got knocked out of the FA Cup the following year by Vauxhall Motors! He was under immense pressure there and turned it around.

Don't think it is anything like as big a job here. However, one thing IH has proved that he needs is time to get things the way he needs them. He needs to add more of his own type of player and get them playing how he wants them to.

IMO we'll be a different side next year so it's just a case of scrambling enough points this season and forgetting about it. Easier said than done I know but we are comfortably good enough to do it.

Well said!

We are now 5/2 at the bookies to be relegated. The bookies are rarely wrong. The problem as I see it is simple. The clubs that Holloway has been at before have over achieved, so he has never had pressure on him, now at a club where expectation is high, not just from us fans, but from the owner as well. I don't believe Holloway can handle the pressure.

They have over achieved because of Holloway....simple as. This club is already a laughing stock with the amount of managers we've had over the last 12 months. What's the point of sacking another one after 3 months...Give them time for fecks sake
