I accepted it would be a transitional period, a transitional period between being rather poor for 20 years and creating a title winning team, not a transitional period from 8th to 6th....since BR has, in my opinion, shown that he doesn't have what it takes to challenge for fourth, let alone the title, he must go. I don't think BR would get 4th even with Barcelon's squad.
I can accept a transitional period if i see the team progressing and making forward strides...however we have only moved sideways. We beat 1 team in the top half of the table so far. You might accept that, I don't want to! Transition should involve improvement not just change....otherwise it's pointless.

I swear at the start of the season that everyone was accepting in the fact that this was a transitional season and one where we were unlikely to win anything or get near 4th.
Yet the same people now seem to be calling for his head because it's gone the way we expected?
To early to judge Rodgers in my opinion. I'll be judging him somewhat by his end of season position (anything less that 7th will be a worry), his summer transfer dealings (needs to keep our best players and strengthen key areas), and how we do in the 1st half of next season. Not me. My target to appraise BR was, above 8th and a cup.

I knew we would have to score 4 because they would score. I just didn't expect them to score first. Nevertheless at 3-1 up (having played well with the momentum behind us and with 30 minutes to go) I thought we were going to do it! It was a GREAT performance. We lost the tie sadly at their place.

Indeed, we have been losing a lot of things sadly this season, against Oldham, Swansea for instance and more recently at home against WBA, Villa.

At the end of the day we went out of the uefa cup and our last chance of silverware.
It was a bad night

Granted we have a manager that inly joined us this season but I don;t see how that explains such dire results against much smaller teams. The transitional period means we might stay where we are for a little while - it doesn't mean that our players suddenly lose the ability to beat the likes of villa, west brom and oldham!

getting behind the club, manager and players
What does that mean in practice? are you suggesting there should be no questioning of whether the manager is right for the job, or whether certain players are up to it etc? If so, what's the point of forums like this? Every post would be the same: 'Shame about the poor perfromance and the defeat but don't worry, we're right behind you'. And where do you draw the line? At what point whould we start thinking and suggesting that things aren't ok?
