    Following on from the previous poll two games ago. Changed my vote from more time previously to sack.

    Sadly, I can't see any prospect of improvement and it sounds like the players have lost confidence in him.

    More time. I feel it's unfair to sack him before he's had at least a couple of games with all the players available.

    Morris and Andersen in particular.

    Changed my vote from more time to sack now too. The post match interviews were the deciding factor for me.

    If what Brittain says is true, then Schopp is on thin ice. Might be better to admit we made a mistake and get rid now. That way we've got a chance of Championship football next season

    Get rid.

    He's miles out of his depth. Zero points, from three very favourable games - and I reckon, on balance, we deserved to lose all three. It's time to put him out of his misery.

    Get rid. We’ve been getting worse, and now look like a team that is so easy to beat that a lot of league 1 sides would back themselves against us.

    If we had 8 points from 11 games, but looked well organised with players knowing what they were meant to be doing, but ultimately falling short, I’d say give him more time. But he seems to be preparing a team for Championship football as if it’s a kickabout on the local park

    Perhaps not, but I just feel it's unfair to say you've given him a fair chance while there's been 2 key players out for basically the whole season along with additional injuries and other issues with other key players like Benson, both Belgian strikers, Kitching etc.

    Kitchin was self inflicted poor discipline, take Saturday for example he plays moon before sibbick, when he brings palmer off instead of doing a straight swap with gomes he brings on another defender and moves moon into center midfield. He tells us Cole.isnt ready for the 1st team.plays him in the 23s then out.of no where starts him. Britain has been critical of training in interviews if we give him much longer I fear it will be too late.

    In the previous poll I said ‘give him until Christmas’. But I’m another who’s changed my mind on the basis that if the last 3 games are owt to go by we’ll be pretty much down by then!! Should have gone at 5pm yesterday.

    Ignoring the question of whether he should be sacked now, based on what you’ve seen, do you think things will improve enough to move us away from the bottom three with Schopp in charge?

    Previously I was give him more time but the last few games have just seen us go backwards so fast it’s not tenable.

    Doesn't matter how many players are unavailable, you have to get the best out of what you have at your disposal and he simply isn't doing that.

    But by that theory if Andersen and Morris were announced as being injured for the entire season it would only be fair to give schopp the full year too because he hasn't got an entire squad to choose from. It doesn't work like that

    The last poll I voted to give him more time but I’ve voted for “sack” now.

    The last few games have been so poor and the interviews/answers he is giving aren’t helping. It would be some turnaround if he stays and gets us playing/looking like we might actually score.

    Obviously there's a limit. I will say that the last few games have been awful and I'm quickly losing patience.

    I just think with our squad any manager would struggle with the key players missing that we've had and the lack of depth that we have.

    I’m shocked he’s still here to be honest.

    It was always going to be very difficult for the next man in following last season. To lay all the blame on him is clearly unfair.
    However I think we may quickly reach the point (if we haven't already) where he may have to be the scapegoat so that a fresh start with the playing squad can be brought about.
