From the start of the season MON has been under some pressure from the fans. This was down to the disastrous end of last season that we had and a large amount of blame that MON must take for it. However even after Wigan we had a different squad and a different team but a small vociferous minority of fans seem set against MON, I just do not get them.

MON is a unique manager he has his little ways which may not be seen as modern but surely rescuing us from the depths of O’Leary’s time to guide us to 10th,6th,6th shows that they do work. Also in modern times it appears the fans are less patient, require quick results and now require so called entertaining football.

For MON and for myself all that matters is the result, we do sometimes get them ‘lucky’, sometimes we will great and sometimes we have routine wins but they are wins. The position after 6 games is good, it is where

I thought we should be with the points and we can push on. There is no doubt that the next two home games, Man City and Chelsea will define the early part of the season and in 9 days time we will know exactly where we stand.

The key question to be answered over these games is whether MON will play the correct players in the correct formation. Despite what NRC did he HAS to play and Carew HAS to be dropped for a string of under par performances which have shown no enthusiasm for the job in hand. These will be the tests the forthcoming games.

I have total faith and belief in MON so should all the fans.
