I wouldn't want Jol, another nice guy and been out a job a while now.

Give me someone to russle a few feathers and put some players in there place, not scared to drop players because of the clique.

[ex coseley kid]

Did that last week.  And the week before

Good man. Worth a shot at the very least.

[lewisant]

16th in the table, we're not much better than that are we really. We played well today, just not having the luck.

Aren't we though?!? The likes of Wisdom starting, Yacob and Mulumbu not. Saido on the bench. We can do much better than this and we are better!

[VVVAlbion]

If that is the case why doesn't Irvine make wholesale changes?

Because the squad isn't up to it?

Make wholesale changes to weaken the side further?

I don't think anyone has said Jol is a nice guy before.  He'll ruffle some feathers

[ex coseley kid]

WBA in Devon, yeah I'd take Big Dave as caretaker for a bit.

Can't think of a better galvanising forces in the short term. At least until 'due process' or whatever it's called gets Tim Sherwood in......

These boys need some elastic bands round their nuts and I think Tim would do it....

I agree about the luck but were stoke any better than us, not in my opinion. we should be better than 16th with this squad the wrong players played over and over again ,players like wisdom and Morrison who are out of form picked time and time again. we needed specialist defensive midfielders today yet he picked 4 players who are neither, in fact 3 of them have been here too long.

[wbastrollers]

It matters not who is "head coach/manager", we have a group of players who are performing to the level that can really be expected of them.

So to preserve your ego - sack all the players and lets hang on to that nice Mr.Irvine?

2 games tops, surely we have someone lined up

[MarkW]

Just to let you guys know I'm firing up my CV in anticipation of his sacking. I took York City to League 1 from the conference, and have taken Uruguay to 3rd place in the World Cup.

I'd play Gamboa, Yacob and Mulumbu. I'd address the lack of belief in the team and ask the club to stop playing dire music before the match in order to let the crowd generate some noise.

Anyone want to be a reference?

[smethwickw]

Picking your strongest side to begin with would be a good start. Todays starting 11 was woeful.

[Aztech]

No, but at least give players who are not performing the kick up the backside they deserve.

Foster is our number 1 and when on form better than Myhill, however I would have dropped him and the likes of Gardner, Wisdom etc today.

[bry]

Kiely Downing Burton definitely and Irvine all have to go.
Pulis or Sherwood for me with new backroom staff. (as I said before we appointed Irvine)
Keep Berahino, buy another centre half, another striker and a new keeper to challenge Foster
Play Gamboa Verela Berahino + new centre half and new striker every week.
If we don’t go for a MANAGER and continue with a head coach we have no hope.

[caravanc58]

how do you know it weakens the side further without trying it. gamboa should get a full game over wisdom just to see if its better, blanco could get a game over dorrans and Morrison who've been poor all season.whens the last time we started a game with two strikers on the pitch. to keep sticking to the same formula that's failing every week is madness. we may as well carry a squad of 20 players if your not willing to give several players a chance.

[VVVAlbion]

Aren't we though?!? The likes of Wisdom starting, Yacob and Mulumbu not. Saido on the bench. We can do much better than this and we are better!

Saido is a case in point. A bloke who prior to last season has 14 league two appearances, 8 league one appearances,  and 10 Championship appearances is the bloke that we are relying on to score the goals to keep us up. I do not mean to put him down, he is a prospect, but he hasn't scored in 9 (?) matches. He may get his million pound transfer in January and will no doubt warm the bench for a side aiming to get in the Europa Cup.

Yacob was poor for a lot of games last season, we were better off playing with 10 men sometimes. Ideye got given a chance like many fans were asking for. Gamboa was playing in the Norwegian League last season but is deemed by some a better right back than a player who's played Premier League football for Liverpool and a season in the Championship for a good Derby team.

He's played 14 times for Liverpool,  big deal. Wisdom has been awful for a large part of the season yet get picked continually.  How do we know that Gamboa is no better if he isn't getting a chance? Making the same mistakes over and over again in the hope that it will finally work is plain stupidity.

So, what's your answer to our current predicament then? Do nothing and hope for some luck?

We haven't got an Odemwingie, Lukaku or Shane Long like previous Head coaches had. That's the difference.

[baggyman68]

Never mind all the arguing......whens he getting the sack?

[Legend]

My answer would be to back Irvine in the January transfer window to get some quality in and get rid of some deadwood. Will that happen? Probably not.

[hardtobeat]

lost 2-0 The End (hopefully)

[WBAinDEVON]

You have to get rid of Irvine now. The supporters will simply not accept Irvine getting money to spend

[smethwickw]

Weren't that what we tried to do back in the summer? What makes you think January will be any different? We all know that JP doesn't buy in January. This squad is still full of holes but the right manager would get better results.
