This bloke is way out of his depth in this league, bring Pepe Mel back.With the support Irvine has had Mel would have thrived

You would say that, but there is no guarantees that he would have sorted the back line out

yes should have kept mel and cleared the decks straight after last season finished; too many old hands are in the comfort zone reading the papers this morning doesnt bode well on team selection i fear the worst get yacob back in asap

[PepeMel]

No change with Irvine there then, at least with Pepe we showed attacking intent, with a decent defensive coach Pepe Mel would have suceeded.Its far to stale what we have at the minute.We all know whats coming this week on the field of play.Negative football and unhappy supporters

[valleybaggie]

Just read in the paper irvines going to stick with brunt. Any good manager with a strong attitude will drop any player who his out of form real worry if irvines going to pick certain players no matter how they perform.

Absobloodylutely. Totally agree.

Now get over it, will never happen   

[PepeMel]

This time next week will most likely be his last Saturday at the club

[Baggieblood]

Problem is who comes in to replace him!

Pulis would keep us up, but we'd probably end off gauging our eyes out watching his hoof ball!

Can it really get any worse? I'd say not.

To be fair when Pulis was at Palace they played some attractive football with wingers

10 times better viewing than what we are watching at the moment

[Lloydy]

A squad that is "injury free" but the new players are still not "match fit"? Banging on about "mini pre-seasons"? Praising Brunt and Morrison? This guys interviews are laughable.

He will continue to pick the same clowns every week without fail. Get this clueless tit out now for the love of god.

[Baggieblood]

Don't get me wrong i want him out.

And i heard Pulis did play some ok stuff at palace with the likes of ince and Bolaise but the fact is he will not work for JP and his constraints.

A short term fix like at palace may suit JP but cannot see pulis becoming a nomad.

How about you wait until tomorrow until you see what actually happens? Could easily be praising Morrison and Brunt for their professionalism during an injury crisis knowing that their positions are under threat and whilst receiving hostility from their own supporters.

[Silver Thostle]

I think the poll says it all, and if Peace is true to his word and he has learnt from last years mistakes, then AI should be gone sooner than later, and he MUST have a ready replacement lined up, no more waiting for two months just to appoint another 'risk'.

Stop being MR Cheap guy Peace, and appoint someone with decent experience and a MANAGER this time, because quite frankly we are totally rudderless at the moment from top to bottom.

[Baggieblood]

Dorrans, Morrison and Brunt in midfield is what we got promted with!

Where is the progression?

My thoughts exactly. We have spent millions in the last 5 years but at the end of the day have our championship midfield. These guys have been excellent servants to the club and are useful squad players in the prem, but we have not made the jump in quality that is needed. Or maybe we have in terms of personnel but not in mindset. Still, if we play those 3 this year maybe they will stick with us when we are back at their level in the Champo next season.

Honestly if we lined up with foster Gamboa Macca lescott poco mulla yacob varela sess blanco and ideye tomorrow and still got tanked 3-0 I would be 10 time happier just knowing we are thinking proactively.

[robnewbold]

If he picks the usual dross and we lose ..............toast.

[PepeMel]

For me a top head coach is important.Why dont we spend some money on bringing in the best available.We just spent 10 million on a striker why not the same on a leader of men on the touchline

[robnewbold]

Agree. we spend shedloads on players........but?
We are totally, totally screwed..

[Avonbaggie]

Watching us win ugly rather than lose ugly... Hmmm... Tough decision!

We should have paid what was required to get Moyes to sign on the dotted line IMO...

[robnewbold]

Record signing for a player.........head coach from the job centre.......hello!

Brunt was our top scorer in the PL in the Mowbray season. Morrison had played 70 odd Prem games. Dorrans came to the fore in the Championship.  Brunt and Morrison were already Premier League players.

[LiamTheBaggie]

Brunt and Morrison were already Premier League players.

That doesn't mean both are good enough though. Both are players who need to be moved on in my opinion because they have become too stale and this squad needs to evolve.

The same also applies to Dorrans.

[robnewbold]

But its not him.......its the current coaching set up that needs to be totally changed. He is probably a good coach , but in this current set up he is just a pawn in a bigger plan
