Just ask youself who would hire Carrick if we sacked him now & you will get your answer should he go.
I think that Sheff Wed draw has been massively detrimental. Similar to the Huddersfield game a couple of seasons ago, we’ve look bereft of confidence and composure since then.
Yeah, I just think it's in their head now. They can never be secure however big the lead. And every time the opposition equalises they have to drag themselves back up again.
Not blaming LL for what has happened but if he'd rolled in Doak at 3-0 I reckon we'd be 10pts+ better off now. Fine margins.

Derby away was the turning point for me this season
Absolutely.How’s that worked out for us
Of course you can’t equate them.I still firmly believe you cant equate the two professions as you are doing.
The barrier for sacking him by the way is the risk in upsetting any chance of making the playoffs. I still believe we will if we remain with Carrick and I am going on the evidence of what I was seeing in terms of effort on the pitch last night. I also believe that Gibson will agree.
It can be very boring and repetitive to watch.Haven’t been for a few, work has gotten in the way. The form isn’t great. Has the quality of the football deteriorated??
One thing that strikes me, it struck me as I haven’t been to many games is how weak we seem, physically, especially defending. I always believed that you sort your defence out first, that’s the priority, if so you can always nick games but if you ship goals/concede soft ones you’re fighting an uphill battle. We lack bite and have done for years. We need to be more aggressive, nastier even.
The writing was on the wallSeriously man, that was in August!
Teams have won the league at an absolute canter after a bad result in the first couple of games. It’s far from over now 6 months later, though we need to improve and bloody quickly.
This....I think Carrick will walk in May. I think he knows he's done.We’ve repeated the “this guy’s not good enough, get someone else in” mantra over and over for at least 8 years now. And so far all of them have failed to get us anywhere close to the PL. I reckon stick with him at least for this season, I imagine by May he’ll have had enough if we fail yet again.
He will have to be pushed then the pressure will start to come on as the losses continue.Carrick wouldn’t walk away. Why would any manager do that?
He only signed a contract last summer.
We had a far better squad than Luton, Coventry or Sunderland that season.
Mutual agreement etc.Carrick wouldn’t walk away. Why would any manager do that?
