It occurred to me that the progress Roy may or may not be making is comparable to Sam.

When Sam joined the games were:

Draw
Lose
Lose
Lose
Lose
Win
Lose
Lose
Win
Win
Win
Win

Roy has been:

Lose
Win
Lose
Lose
Win
Lose

So I take from that we should not panic

It takes a while to restructure a team into a new way of operating

I don’t think Huddersfield in the Cup should count as a win in Roy’s stats unfortunately. However, based on this, they’ve both lost 4 out of first 5.

Roy needs a win in his next game.

I think Roy is doing a good job and the team now looks like it knows what it's doing. But Sam wouldn't have turned things round if we hadn't had a striker, and there will be many more days like today while we're still in that predicament.

Won’t Benteke be back for Spurs. So only one more Prem game.

Spot on , unless of course we are talking about a clueless Dutch idiot who has consigned us to a season of struggle and made millions in the process.

De Boer would still be our Manager had Wilf not been injured.

No. He's pencilled in to be available for Everton, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it; there's bound to be the inevitable 'set back'.

We have achieved more in the last two games in terms of goals, attempts , link up play etc than we did with him here.

Bollocks. He was not sacked for losing matches, he was sacked for being an arse.

its really hard to compare the two managers starts tho really isnt it.

sam came into a job where the team had no problems scoring, defending was the issue.

roy came into a job where the team had problems scoring & defending.

sam got £40m quid to spend & sakho on loan soon after arriving, roys working with what the total football experiment left behind.

sam came into a run of very winnable fixtures, whereas roy didnt.

i think weve started to see the green shoots of recovery quicker under roy, even tho his job on paper seemed to be a lot harder initially.

i think if he was winning matches and we found ourselves in watford/newcastles/burnleys position the fact he was an arse wouldav been accepted.
