I have been behind MoN all season but I think even after the board said last week that they'll back MoN, he needs to sort it out before January or he's out. We have won something like 3 games in 30... performing well but not getting results is NOT good enough. That's huge relegation form... We are now in the relegation zone and heading for the drop. If you think MoN is still the man now then fair enough, I backed him through every game he managed until today. I know we played the European Champions but losing to the teams around us is shocking. In my opinion we need to get MoN to sort this out fast or he's gone.

Sadly there is no evidence that he can sort anything out. His excuses get more lame with each defeat, and he is beginning to look like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Face it, he is not someone who can evaluatee players or assemble team, he never has. Nor is he a tactician- he does no know how to organise effectively or coach his squad. Once upon a time his obvious passion seemed to motivate players, but time has moved on and he can no longer engage the players of today. He needs to go, because after a year under his 'management', we are a poorer side and in a worse position than when he came- and he has spent more than £20 million without really solving any of the problems we have had for several seasons. Just a pity he can't take the donkeys he picks every week with him.

He,s lucky to still be their. any other team with form like that ,the manager would have got the boot

I am a MON fan but surely now the fans patience is running out ! the teams below us are picking up points and Tuesdays match is vital we win even if we draw MON will go and i feel hell walk away after Tues if we dont get a result !...also why when Cattermole was injured didnt he recall Meyler from Hull (who scored today ) hed be an ideal replacment but he wont play him !..i think MON has lost the plot !

Larsson was terrible today and he could have been sent off ! WHY didnt MON take him off ! i would have put Vaughn on !

Saw Ellis Short with his head in his hands today.He has got to make a huge decision very soon.I think the present manager and players will take us down.Unlike Mon i dont see the positives he sees after every defeat.2 million quid a year and i would feed the fans the same utter garbage.Something has to give,we dare not let this go on for even 1 more match.The players for me are the ones i would sack immediately ,but they have their contracts stitched up.So it looks like Mon will take the fall.But he will walk away with more money than a lottery winner.My heart bleeds for him.

So we figured that he's gone now. But who do we get as a replacement? Not Mark Hughes. Somebody who knows how to assemble a team and knows the game inside out.

You know what? Give him Reading game. If we don't win, he gets the axe.

Replacment ?...go for ollie gunner solska of Molde !

The damage was done first half yet again. Why is it we only play in the second half and don't turn up in the first. We deserved a draw with our performance once our goal went in. I'll admit I'm nervous now. Safc,93

We deserved a draw for a bit of huffing and puffing? Nonsense, we were out of the game and they were thinking of the World Club final before we strung two passes together. Another awful home defeat, another thoroughly poor performance, another game where we seemed to have no plan or tactics. Pathetic.

Struggled to get 2 passes together? What game were you watching? 47% possession and 81% passing accuracy and 6 shots on target against the European champions but we were poor, ok mate. Safc93

Worse than poor. No good hiding in useless statistics- there was no point in the game- from the first minute on- when we looked like doing anything other than lose. They could have been two up by the third minute . Against 'European Champions' that could not beat QPR earlier in the season. And we made Torres look a better player than he has for 12 months. If you think that was a good performance, that only underlines how low your expectations are after the shapeless, aimless football served up over the past thirty games.

Too many mistakes all over the field massive game tuesday another stupid penalty given away I would have dropped larson 6 games ago

Huffing and puffing isnt gonna win us games ! i think the tactics are all wrong and that is down to the manager and coaches !..if anyone needs sacking its the coaches !
