Probably not. We're on a terrible run, probably worse than anything we've had in the last 15 years, and it shows no sign of ending. It's at times like these when you need experience to help get us out of it. He has none. Currently, the players are taking most of the blame, but that's very generous, considering most of the problems are down to basic organization. Something that should be worked on during the week in training. He doesn't enjoy the adulation of the fans, either. He's never been embraced and had songs sung about him in the same way that Mowbray or Megson did. This means that unless results improve, then Peace will surely act. We've invested more money in this Prem season than any other, so I think he'll be pretty ruthless in trying to ensure that we maintain our status. Di Matteo's role as 'Head Coach' makes him a lot more expendable too, as removing him won't really involve major upheaval, all he's responsible for is training and picking the team, and our results are showing how well he's doing that currently. I predict he'll be gone at the end of Feb, after our home defeat to the dingles. A slight shame, but there's nothing endearing about him, he's not bothered about us as fans, or our club (not that the vast majority of managers are, but he's never tried to pretend otherwise). You do talk some parp at times lud. There were lots of signs against Villa, Bolton, Blackburn, United and even at Fulham (until Carson dropped his clanger) that the 0,1,2,3,4 on the trot losing streak was going to end. Cheer up!

Worse than Little, Robson or Mowbray? Discuss.

Worse than Little, Robson or Mowbray? Discuss. Of course not. Did I actually say I think he's a poor manager? Little has proven to be a shit manager everywhere he's been, and he comes over as a right wanker. At least Robbo had a bit of success with us and Boro, and seems to be a decent bloke. Mowbray's an affable old romantic who got a bit lucky with us and a bit unlucky with Celtic. Don't particularly care for him anymore after the way he left us. I thought Di Matteo was very impressive and did an excellent job last season. To take a relegated side and get it promoted with a record points total is superb work. He improved and evolved us as we went along, showing good tactical knowledge. I thought the way he built and developed the squad over the summer was encouraging too (admittedly, that's not all down to him), and our start to the season was simply fantastic. However, as I said in the original post, our current form is very worrying, and I wonder whether Peace will be as comfortable with us getting relegated as he seems to have been in previous seasons.

I was actually joking!
FWIW I can see where the OP is coming from. Also lest not forget how big a bearing Mark Jenkins has on matters.
He wanted rid of Mogga after that Stoke debacle in April 09.
That's a good post Gramps. Blackpool is a HUGE game (MBO I know)

You're reliably glass half-full lad, but I just hope that this time eight days from now, we're not talking about there being signs that we could have ended the trot vs Blackpool (a win tomorrow would be barely significant in my opinion, and will make little difference to confidence seeing as so many 2nd teamers will be starting).

I don't think it's going to happen, but it's worth the speculation. The management team need to feel under pressure, so that they understand the need for a review of our progress.
Biggest problem is the reluctance of JP to release cash to strengthen.
