He’s gone hopefully after our mauling on Saturday It will be embarrassing if Leicester don’t rest players If we play like we did against Blackburn it could be double figures and that not a exaggeration I really wanted ainsworth to go with some dignity and simply go by mutual consent He’s a decent man and tried his best but it’s going to get very nasty if he don’t go before long The longer he hangs on and don’t step aside the less chance we have of surviving in this division

I'd be tempted to fire GA and leave the team with just a caretaker manager for a few weeks... See how the players like it when they don't have a manager to hide behind
Good point re the team! I could see Warnock coming in as caretaker for a limited number of weeks only. It would polish his ego to drag us back from the abyss if he could, and if he could not then everyone would say he tried...

Personally can't see why they would only give Warnock the job for a few weeks as a caretaker? That makes no sense to me, and I can't see Warnock accepting that anyway. What if he comes in announced as caretaker only, wins a few games, then we let him go.... and then go downhill again. Can you imagine the reaction to that from the fans. Whoever is appointed needs to be for the rest of the season from the outset so everybody knows what is happening.
The only game that could impact upon is tomorrow's fixture: Sheffield Wednesday v Rotherham. As it stands tonight, there would be no change if we lose or draw, but if we win then we would move above Rotherham into the top relegation spot (!). If Rotherham win tomorrow that puts them on 12 points and it all gets that much harder..
In the 12:30 match it is Leeds 4 Huddersfield 0 - and it is only 57 mins!

After losing 4-0 in midweek too! Huddersfield were nothing special at all against us and we gave them 3 points. Shows you how truly bad we are.

Line up time
FIELD IN DEFENCE
KELMAN STARTS
ARMSTRONG NOT IN THE SQUAD
Maybe Kelman will play the game of his life, but how on earth are him and Adomah starting above Willock and Smyth. Come on. Ainsworth having a laugh now.
I am staggered at the choices to start too! Field is preferred to Larkeche as a CB, and that leaves us vulnerable in DM; Adomah is preferred over Smyth, but I am guessing that is to support Cannon; but Kelman instead of Sinclair or Willock? Given Ainsworth has played Kolli so much, what has Kelman offered this week in training? Is Willock truly that lacklustre these days?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Even with the best players available and match-fit I doubt anyone would expect us to win against a rampant Leicester. Just remember that thought when the game draws to a conclusion....
