Is Glasner the problem?

Looking back over the last two or three days comments on hear and most believed there was no way we COULD win let alone would. Villa were expected my most to wipe the floor with us. They on a mini bad run played their strongest possible team and came to win. We with STILL a depleted team matched them and were the better team in the first half. The penalty (though we've all seen them given) was harsh and justice was done when Hendo saved it. The confidence levels of both Sarr and Devenny will have exploded after yesterday. Sarr and JPM linked together better than they have ever done.
On the contrary from 'sleepwalking into relegation' I'd turn that ridiculous comment on its head and say we have now lost just 1 game in 5! The doom and gloomers are sleepwalking into a turn around!

Villa are no mugs. A draw was probably a fair result but on first half performance we could easily have won it. The only reason we tailed off in the second half was tiredness set in and a lack of options off the bench. If Eze for example had been available to play the last 20 mins we'd have won that.

Glasner is not the problem. He is pulling out decent performances with limited personel. I believe our next win will come from either the Newcastle game or at Ipswich. Maybe even both. The way City are collapsing I would bet against us getting something against them either. Players coming back, new players confidence boosted by both goals and improving performances, getting a point at a top 4 team that was clearly trying to arrest their own slide. Better times are on the way regardless of the negative amongst us that seem determined to see Glasner as the wrong man for the job. For the life of me I cant figure out why. Any other manager in the same circumstances would have struggled to get better results this season

While I take your point about losing 1 in 5 we’ve only gained 5 points from a possible 15 in our last 5 games and gone backwards in our league position. Wolves and Ipswich, two of our relegation rivals have found some form. I don’t think we can underestimate the battle we are in.

I hope you are right about it all turning around. Yes there were some mitigating circumstances in the first few games but I still think another manager would have more than 8 points from our fixtures so far. OG has to take the blame for tactical rigidity, playing a system that didn’t suit the players available, poor selections and playing players out of position.
