The team he has put out just looks like a Rag bag collection of god knows what,no format or established game plan,does this mean we have only two games too go before Keans dismissal.

What a bloody shambles this is, and I suspect it will get a lot worse before it gets better.
Venky's: You are an absolute disgrace. And Kean is beneath contempt!

It just goes to show how spectacular our fall from grace has been, when nobody is really surprised that we have just been outclassed by MK Dons!

The problem is that on paper we have a decent side. Now someone (Andy Cryer!?) needs to ask some serious questions find out why they are continuing to play woefully under-par in every game? We want straight answers, no bulls*** please.
It's happened in over 95% of matches since Kean has took over. Despite his pathetic record as a manager people should not forget that on actual performances it could be even worse. In matches where we have been dominated, and there are a hell of a lot of those, we have scraped the odd win or draw from the clutches of defeat somehow. The opening championship matches are evidence of his biggest streak of luck yet.
I fear that with Venky's as owners this will probably never get much better, but to dismiss Kean now and appoint a non-yes man would give a better manager the chance to stabilize the mess created and get some of the fans back to the matches.
