Snowflake Royal Conspiracy Theory: Ince is trying to take us down.
Away against high flying Blackburn, he played an attacking side with a back four. Despite our utterly abysmal away record.
At home against a poor, out of form Hull side, he plays an incredibly slow negative side, despite our comparatively ok recent home record.
He complains about having had a tough string of games and the players being tired (the games were hard tbf). But he made 3 changes for Hull, 4 for Blackburn, 4 for Sheffield. So it's not like even close to the same XI has played them all. And he's not exactly made great effort to use his younger fitter players in that period.

Absolutely! If his remit for this season was to keep us up then he should be given a chance next season.

Really???????? Another shit season of shit football, a new contract for him (only to sack him by November and piss more money on paying another manager out of his contract). No thanks. I'd rather take may chance with someone else.

unrealistic, but yeah, stranger things have happened…got to be one of the current longest serving managers anywhere…cosied-in at York Road (unsackable?)Royal Rother Change now.
It can’t get any worse and will probably bring a bit of life to the team.
Alan Devonshire deserves a break from the against-the-odds battles at Maidenhead which he has navigated superbly for most of the last decade!

despite it all (and despite all of the ‘behind the scenes bollox’ ) we are still a Championship club……crazy?Royal RotherAthleticoSpizzunrealistic, but yeah, stranger things have happenedRoyal Rother Change now.

…and yet nobody here is crying that Pince hasn’t added that to their perceived list of excusesRoyal_jimmy Saw that Hull flew to us and back. Since we rarely fly anymore it's probably a reason our away forms so bad especially up north where there are 4-5 hour coach journeys. Sadly we don't have the money for it

tmesis When the injuries pile up, results nearly always take a downturn, and confidence suffers. The players look scared of making mistakes, and that shows in the amount of negative balls we play around the area.
In fact I'd say our game was summed up by that last gasp free-kick. It could have been swung into the box, but instead it was played sideways to a player who wasn't better placed to do anything with it. Players are not taking responsibility.
Yes, Paul Ince is definitely too cautious at times, but a new manager won't fix the problem of our threadbare squad.
That said, if the club was to get trigger-happy again, now would be the best time, with two weeks until the next game. We have seven games in April, and that's not the kind of spell where you want a lot of upheaval.
