We seem to have made the classic mistake of signing players on reputation, while letting go tried & tested players who were top 6 quality.
Complete mismanagement by the board it has to said and Houghton will take the rap for it.
If Marinakis sacks him, we will never get another decent manager while he owns the club.

Definitely
If the owner does sack CH, then that would be the final nail in the coffin for me
The failings we showed today have been apparent since before CH arrived. They are not CH’s fault.
Knockaert, Lolley, Arter, Taylor , Samba, McKenna and Grabban are all quality championship players add a fit Worrall and we have more than half a team of quality footballers. We also have the likes of Christie, Colback and Sow, surely this is not a team that should be fighting relegation. I keep saying this, and hoping that at some point the team will ‘click’, but I already think this season is a right off. Hopefully we will stick with CH but there is definitely no guarantee. Imo the team/squad is good enough for at least mid table, but better teams than ours have been relegated.

They've all played well at this level in the past, but now they don't mind losing and that's not good enough; why we've signed Colback I really don't know. He was more interested in his salary from Newcastle than first team football; plus he's been ill/injured and now not worth his place. Who was doing the scouting f.c.s?
RFB some of our recruitment has been awful, the likes of Buchirou and many others makes you wonder what the plan is. Your right that many of those mentioned seem to lack the drive to give their all, unfortunately they are probably the best you can hope for in the Championship. Basically we are paying top wages and getting bang average performances. If I were CH I would be in despair.
Replace Figs and we’ll stop conceding. The guy is a liability. At least we’d have a few more points.
Our midfield is non-existent. Without Sow we have no chance.
None of the wingers are producing. Mighten sits on the bench.
Taylor isolated, but at least he cares.
Swansea looked bang average. Not even close to Bournemouth. With an ounce of flair we’d have won that.
The style of football is awful. I think I’d rather watch the Tyson fight again.
