Rangers v the Oat Cake Eaters match thread on 15:06 - Nov 21 by GaryT
Stoke have only had 1 defeat in the last 8 and that was away to joint leaders Sheff Utd. If the grand fromages are intent on pulling the trigger then they might as well wait until we lose at home to Oxford (who haven't won away all season). If things haven't picked up by then and we do lose, hard to argue against it but would still prefer to see Nourry pack his bags first.
With what we have to play with and Stoke's recent form, can't see past this finishing 1-2.
A very reasoned view, but will the owners see it as you do?

Don't think that this is a game defining season. We are just a poor team, the players are just not good enough for the Championship. Don't want Marti sacked think we just run with it see where we end up and if it is League 1, so be it. We have to face facts that relegation has been staring us in the face for the last 2 seasons and the sword may now be coming down and cutting our Championship head off. I just don't feel our players are good enough, but you never know something might spark. Marti more at risk if we get soundly beaten in the next 3 games, especially at Cardiff and a drubbing at Watford like last season probably curtains for him, but we live in hope we can keep drawing and stay within 5 or 6 points of safety, start heading to 9 or 10 points adrift then we are likely to go down.
I don't want Marti sacked either, but I am considering the possibility that another loss could be the end for him. I think this is the worse we've been since we've come back down from the PL? We all know the context, but as I've mentioned in my previous replies - do the decision makers see it as we do?
You could be right regarding the next three games, but I suppose it depends how other results go? If we win and the teams around us lose, great. If we lose and they win, then we're really starting to look cut adrift.
I think Marti being sacked would be the season defining action, I just wonder if this game is the decider for him?

Others have apparently seen it differently, but for me Marti's been looking scarily resigned, disspirited and/or depressed in the last two or three post-match interviews, almost as if he's anticipating the axe falling or feels unable to change things with the resources he has/doesn't have. Of course, in a club where no knows , or is allowed to know, what's in the offing, this might well be the big bad news in the offing we don't know about either.
Hope my intuition is askew on this occasion, but it quite often isn't.
We get that twice-struck lightning vs Stoke this weekend, and things start to look up a little. Another ropey showing and home defeat, a knife or two will be glinting, and I'll fear for him.

I agree, it looks and feels like a matter of time to me. Hope I'm wrong.
Stoke aren't much cop but look what they're bringing up front - Million Manhoef, Tom Cannon and Sam Gallagher. Our striking options in comparison are absolutely hilarious.

Or blackly comic!
It's a broken record already, and I know that Celar has been unfeasibly bad, but whoever thought that Frey and Celar, plus a runaround Alfie Lloyd, were going to score us the goals to be competitive this season, has absolutely f*cked us! Right now, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't make 10 goals all season between the three of them!"
This when I start to think it's perhaps not such a far-flung conspiracy theory that the aim this season has been relegation all along, with a reboot/sell-up in League One.
I hold them ALL responsible (let's name them, in no particular order) : Nourry, Belk, Cifuentes, Ruben, Amit, Calm, Reilly, and Hoos. They all have positions in the club, and they're all failing the club. F*ck it - I'll throw Jude the Cat under the bus while I'm there just in case, and even though I generally prefer cats to people.
And who's to say it won't get (even) worse before it gets any better?
