Maximum of 5 points, but will not be surprised if we don't win again this season.
These games aren't classed as winnable any more, they are all very loseable though!

Considering that we lost to Leicester, I don't see how anyone can view ANY game as 'winnable'.
Oh you mean winnable games - what like Leicester?

I have backed the Manager longer than most, but that backing can only go so far. At the end of the day, the Manager has to come up with the goods either by improving the team through investment in better players to bolster a clearly weakend /small squad or to get the best out of them in terms of performance or tactial nouse. Unfortunately nothing has improved as I had hoped and therefore he has to be held accountable. However the Chairmen nor the players have no right to sleep soundly in their beds as they have failed in supporting the Manager these past few weeks.
Unless a miracle happens and we win the next 3 or 4 with an amazing football performance then it is time for a change.

Jason Roberts interview / article on teh BBC MOTD2 site, talks about how BFS targets certain games that he sees as winnable. That seems to infer that he has games he thinks we cannot win.
A mindset suited to keeping lesser quality / less resourced teams in teh top flight.
I think the West Ham fan base now believe we are ready to move beyond that point and need a manager who is more positive in that respect and targets every game as winnable.
BFS has done a great job to get us up and keep us up but is showing a lack of experience of where to go next. Not a surprise really as he only had a season or two at Bolton where he has been in the upper reaches of the league.

Song's face has been a picture of what he thinks of teh manager when he has been substituted recently. :-)
Admittedly he has been guilty of trying to hang onto teh ball too much but still tries to play the right way and 9 times out of 10 will still be better / more involved than Nolan even in the last quarter of games. Funny he gets substituted for Nolan everytime which is what I think is the root cause of his bewilderment :-)

The season has been thrown away because we have a manager that has 'games we can't win' and sets up accordingly. And it doesn't matter what quality you have, if you have games you are clearly not going to compete in then you undermine form, confidence and you're treating all and sundry with contempt.
Rodent may trot out that bullshit excuse about investment but that's red herring and always has been the last excuse of an inadequate coach.
And as for Blagg - since when did he become an Allardyce home boy? I can't read his columns again and see him in the same light! Or maybe he thinks that Allardyce is unfairly criticised by some of us ...
Well, I pay £50 notes a game roughly and that gives me the right to point out complete and utter negligence. You don't go into hospital for a minor operation and come out with legs missing because the surgeon thought you wouldn't be needing them in the future or he takes a look at your age and thinks 'this fella looks like he's not gonna make it to the end of 90 minutes, lets accept the result and put him down now '. When that happens fraud, negligence and compensation are brought to bear not bollox about 'underinvestment of hospital equipment'. Who are you anyway Rodent, Ed MIliband?

Thing is though, these days all professional footballers or sportsmen of any kind (especially F1 drivers), are media trained, and pretty much say whatever they are expected to say. Doesn't necessarily bear any relation to reality.
This is why I find almost all interviews with such people pointless as you know what they are going to say before they've even opened their mouths.

I tell you something, If Billy Bonds was our Captain, no way would he have allowed these lethargic, given-up performances to happen.
Any sulkers would have been seriously sorted out.
And I doubt he would have been to happy going to Chelsea with a weakened team either.

Actions speak louder than words and after the performance on Saturday I would suggest the players have given up as they know the Manager is nailed on to leave in the summer.
"If the players are affected there's not a lot I can do about that until it gets resolved but, in the meantime, I'm doing the job I'm paid to do."
Sam Allardyce
So are players are affected? Even the Manager hasn't denied it.

The players have repeatedly said that they want the manager to stay and his situation has no bearing on our results.
The manager himself - not normally shy of dreaming up an excuse or two - has said that his situation has nothing to do with our performances and results.
Yet, for reasons only known to themselves, his fawning media idiots, and people who spend their whole lives repeating the fawning media idiots, say that his situation is affecting our performances and results.

You would think as professionals they would want to get as many bonuses as possible and those who may want to get away show they could do jobs for other clubs.

I have said that lack of investment in January has been a big factor in derailing our 2nd half of the season but ultimately the constant uncertainty with the Manager's position has been the main driver of our total collapse.
Of course the Manager hasn't helped himself with tactical errors and approach to some games as well as his arrogance that has alienated the fans at times, but the players have practically given up as they have come to accept that Allardyce won't be here in the summer.
The past few weeks have been an absolute shambles and the finger pointing has to be directed at the Chairmen, not just the Manager or players.
You can blame the players but the Chairmen are accountable. If Allardyce isn't their man then as we are safe anyway they should have just paid off his contract and let Sheringham or McDonald take the reigns until they pinpoint their new man.
