Which is why the rumours of Lukas Jutkiewicz made sense. Plan B.
This has a similar feeling about it, being in a position of strength going into the January transfer window and not recruiting well.
On the plus side we don't have to spend £9m buying Diakahby

That was a miserable night's sleep, at least its over now. I think we've improved compared to MON but we were better under Karanka.
Personally have thought for a while that we've been lucky this season, how many games did we walk out of thinking how didn't we lose that. If you look at expected goals tables we're around midtable which seems much more fitting for our performances.
Whether thats the squad or the manager I'm not sure. He made some weird decisions though, the handling of Cavralho, why was Bostock never given a chance, repeatedly playing Diakhaby, even Walker barely played. Way too defensive towards the end and that Barnsley game was still one of the worst managed games I've seen. We lost 4-0 at home to Wednesday, beaten comfortably at home by charlton and Hull and millwall. Some amazing away results but is it enough.
We've marginally improved perhaps but have we reached the limit of what we can do under Sabri. We really didn't look like scoring in most games post restart, most of our goals were either long range or corners.
I would keep Sabri if the option is another manager with no champ experience.

Manager stays, without question for me.
Stability, build the squad around the system and the manager.

Bit of an understatement from Nixon. It will be a bit more than a chat. EM is raging. Lets see how it pans out.

Regardless of wether folk think he should be sacked or not the big thing for me is can he as the leader really pick those players up for the re start? Not so sure

Well for me he is raging at the wrong man. He should be raging at the team who didn't give him the right tools to do his job. Can't keep blaming the manager if you keep bring in players who aren't better than what you already have.
We spent what 7.2 million all season and had what 15 new players come into the squad and raised 13.3 million in departures of 31 players. Yes a good clear out and money brought in but how many of those signings were better than what we had? Not many.
