Every club in the EFL will have their highest ever wage bill, so that alone is not reason to say we should be doing our best ever, all wages have shot up because of the new deal.

FWIW, did I want Revs as manager again in the summer? No. Do I believe he will push us on? No. Do I think we will go down this season? Absolutely not. Do I think he should be sacked now? No. We of course do not know exactly his remit, so don't know how he is performing against this.

Not that long ago we won ten points from five games and 13pts from seven games under Revs, including wins against Barnsley, Charlton, Wrexham and Mansfield. That was/is promotion form. But people were not saying that would last. By the same token nor should people be saying the current form will last. A season has rises and falls, that is football. Revs also has the most wins from their opening ten home games in League One of any manager we have ever had, and home games is where we make our money.

Revs has shown that he and this squad can win, and can beat the bigger/better sides. We are also in the FA Cup Second Round and qualified through the FLT group. So you could very much argue the season is going fairly well OVERALL so far, looking as a whole and not just the past month or so.

None of that is reason to sack him right now, he deserves longer to show he can get us back winning again. However, he is going to have to amend his approach if he wants much longer, because the style and lack of goals will lead to crowds falling, and that is when the board will take real notice (unless we drop into the drop zone prior to that). Playing one up front, creating very little and not really at any stage looking like we properly went for the win (despite being the more attacking of the two) at home to a very poor side, at home, is not going to do him any favours, and if it continues and he is let go, he can only have himself to blame.
