I don't think he can make top four next season, I think any manager would find it hard. Kenny has had all season to get this team playing better and we are actually playing worse as the season goes on...
God, the FA cup, I hope and pray! Gutted is an understatement if we lose on Sat
And yes, Kenny can sort it. Give him until Christmas and see how we're going, he deserves that. Henderson, Carroll, Adam and Downing have let Kenny down
All underperformed
We have played well in majority of games, even Utd and City dont play every game well
The amout of chances we have created has been amazing, the results havent
WE NEED A FINISHER, dont you think Kenny knows this?

I think Christmas will just be far too late to make any changes that will have a decent effect on our performances.
Also Kenny knew we needed a finisher in January, he didn't go out and get one despite forwards being available and despite us being told that money was available.
Something isn't right.

That is a strange one Fred and I wanted us, like 99% of Redmen wanted is to get a striker AND DCM!
With hindsight Jelavic wouldnt have been a bad shout and apparently we were looking at him?
So dont know the ins and outs of that one
I think Kenny put more trust into Carroll, Kuyt, Suarez and Bellamy to finish our chances
Maybe there was money available but it would have eaten in the summer budget too? Dont know, what do you think?
The ability of the manager is one thing but the quality of the personnel is just as important.
I fear that most managers would struggle with this shower
Kenny's major error is not having a decent back up for Lucas, without him and with Spearing playing the team has been unbalanced and players have had to do un natural tasks to cover for Spearing.
I am not saying Lucas is the answer to all of our problems, but you will be suprised how much better we will be when he is back, and that is not only defensively but also in attack.
He will give the players ahead of him the confidence to be a bit less cautious knowing he is there to sweep up.
Mark my words, his loss was a massive blow, and just highlights how below standard Jay Spearing is.
Put it this way, I think we would be 15 points better off with Lucas - maybe more
That's only 5 games worth of points and he's missed the bulk of the season
I fear that most managers would struggle with this shower

But why did we do so well last season until Kenny put his stamp on the squad?
I reckon the new players don't have the ablility or quality to play there roles.
I mean whenever maxi plays, he is a threat......he does not have any pace, no tricks but intelligent to be at the right place at the right time.
If we had quality at the top end of the pitch, I reckon our season would have been considerably different!!!

Good question but, Carroll was labeled as one of Englands best up and coming talent. Arry also wanted to sign him
Henderson U21 capt, good season for SAFC
Downing was Villa's player of the season
Adam had a good season at BFC. Fergie even commented on that
So, the wieght of expectation I think as got to all of them which can be sorted
But also, Henderson and Carroll are still YOUNG, so major scope for improvement
Thats not to say just because Downing and Adam are older that they wont
Put it this way, if they dont improve they'll be out, so if they want to stay they will have too
Adam had a good season at BFC. Fergie even commented on that
....................
Actually SAF said his corners were worth 10 million. We all thought it was a tounge in cheek comment to be honest.
Me too vidicschin, well, not so much tongue in cheek, more like talking up adams price
