Kenny has assembled a really good young group of lads, results will fluctuate as they settle into international football, but anyone advocating his dismissal for Chris f**king Hughton has to be on smack! Especially after a performance like that. Go have a lie down!

Especially after a performance like that. Go have a lie down! Pros for Kenny: Assembled a young hungry group that is improving                              Has us playing a decent brand of football                              The players seen to believe in him Negatives for Kenny: Poor results that aren't improving.                                       Three campaigns and failed to beat anyone of note                                       In game management not great                                       We fail to build any real consistency                                       We seem a little soft mentally not holding leads                                       Our best performances come when pressure is off

 Just to be clear, if Kenny resigned tmw, I'd have no particular beef with people putting forward the likes of Hughton or O'Neill as options. Wouldn't be on my list though - Barry, Eusrace, Carsley.  I do have a beef with lads putting their name forward right now however, after our last 3 performances, I think it's bizarre tbh! Get behind this exciting young team and manager for the Euros. If it all goes tits up, by all means advocate for Hughton or whomever, but can we not just give it a f**king rest for now!

At some point he has to get them. This moral victory sh*te cannot go on indefinitely. We've the worst squad of players probably ever, he's doing a good job given the circumstances.  If you're old enough to remember AERTEL in the 90s and early 2000s, there'd be Green scorers every weekend in the Premier League. Now we're hoping someone who can't score in the Championship gets us our goals.

Do people think that even if we did change manager we would suddenly be winning these games?? Kenny cannot make Parrott score that chance or any of the countless chances we have missed since he took over. We look a real danger on the counter attack now. Just need someone to finish the chances. Easier said  than done.
