    We did show sings of improvement in his early games you are right, and I don't think it's just a coincidence that things have deteriorated again since Jim O'Brien has been injured.

    Agreed. I should have taken that into account. He hit the ground running as soon as he came in.

    I wouldn’t be in the slightest bit surprised if he walked tonight.

    I would be the slightest bit upset. Collins was doing better with the same players, and that says something as he was rubbish

    I think he will walk , try to protect his CV , put the village idiot Abboo in charge and failed semi-pro manager 2nd in command lets go out with a bang . I really hope Rahic never darkens the corridors of VP again you absolute arsehole stay away .

    Not really because collins didnt have the amount of players out injured or suspended that Hopkin has had to deal with.
    Look at the subs bench today ,full of kids.
    As the garbage players are not responding to Hopkin, i doubt he can survive much longer before another contract needs to be paid up.

    I don't blame Hopkin at all, never blamed Collins either, if you provide a garbage squad for your head coach then you, unsurprisingly, get garbage results. It is what it is, no point in complicating the blame direction.

    IMO if we feel he's a decent manager we have to find a way to show him support whilst also showing were against the owners.

    Not sure how. Maybe a concerted effort to do a few chants?

    What on earth can he do with the squad he has left?
    Unfit, out of form, out of position, inexperienced, playing levels above their abilities, can't fit into tactics we play.

    Let's not forget that our mercurial talisman was a long term free agent.

    True but at least he wasn't afraid to kick everyone's arse and it seemed to be having some effect. Not saying he's the Messiah but FFS Akpan is gash.

    No, I was agreeing with you, my point is it's a fookin disgrace that a "Jim O'Brien" should be our best player.

    He probably feels like going but hope he goes home, has a few beers and sit on it for a while longer. Surely Stefan must now realise that the longer he keeps his hands on the club, the more he will lose. Could be, he will have to give it away now to save his personal pride of having a failed business on his watch.
