    One win in thirteen? Don't get me wrong i was all for getting rid of Flitcroft, I think we should have done it much earlier but have we seen a change of fortune since we replaced him?

    No worse. But no better either.

    Yes but only slightly. I think we'd be cut well adrift by now of he was still here. We're not winning games but we're not losing as many.

    Slightly better. Deadwood cut out. Morale and confidence seem low.

    4 points in 3 games under Mickey Mellon was our best week of the season the two away games are the best I've seen us play this season too, but people wanted Wilson and they got what they wanted

    Short answer is no.

    Long answer? Wigan apart, I think we've matched or bettered every other team we've played since Wilson arrived and been tremendously unlucky to only come away with the points haul we've got. We deserved everything we got under Flicker, I don't believe that to be the case recently. I've seen improvement. None of that matters though really because the points tally may be slightly better, but not significantly.

    In last 11 games under Flicker and first 11 under Wilson:

    Goals scored per game:
    Flicker - 0.64
    Wilson - 1.09

    Goals conceded per game:
    Flicker: 1.73
    Wilson: 1.18

    Points per league game:
    Flicker: 0.64
    Wilson:0.8

    Think it's safe to say we've improved.

    Yes but the problem we had was the whole team needed changing

    Wilson did weed out the deadwood which was essential but our play seems to be just as negative as it was under flicker which is very disappointing, point in case wigan game was a game in hand that we were expected to lose so why not just go for it and attack, we are not in a position to take draws, he really needs to smell the coffee today and put millwall on the back foot from first whistle to last, if we go 2 up lets try and get to 4 up, we are just not good enough defensively to sit back and invite pressure. danny ,give paddy a decent run, even so called impact players can,t do much in 10mins...

    We're harder to beat and look less likely to get a hiding, but we don't look any more likely to win a couple of games.

    Yes. We've brought in better players, we're scoring more goals and conceding less. We've been unlucky but considering the side has been thrown together from January I've been pleased with the games I've seen.

    We'll piss it.

    Disagree, the only reason we haven't been cut adrift is because Charlton, Millwall, Doncaster and Yeovil can't win either.

    I personally feel we are better, but our points tally and league position don't back me up.

    Ive gotta be honest, I'm sick and tired of toiling at the bottom of the league, every season. Chopping and changing managers, loads of loan players, minimal homegrown players with heart and passion, etc.

    I know a lot of ST holders thinking exactly like i am......and i think come the end of the season BFC will be regretting some bad managerial appointments (i am not putting DW in this bracket, at the moment). They will also be regretting much reduced income due to lower ST sales and playing in Division 1.

    I don't like saying these things, it hurts......but its what i believe.

    Our wage bill has improved too with a couple of expensive premiership loan signings from Dull and Palace.

    In my opinion, we have a better group of players. Now it's up to them to play better as a team. I'm fully aware that this thread is actually about giving an opportunity for those who didn't want Danny Wilson a manager to gloat and say "Look! We were right right for not wanting him here and those who DID want him were wrong!". After 10 league games. Ten.
