Message for Doug Ellis

Mr Ellis, the players are trying to communicate with you.

Saying this again, for the 156th time makes me sound like an old record but reiteration carries conviction Mr O'Leary.

I am failing to see exactly what it is David O'Leary is trying to do. Before he came JLloyd Samuel was a decent player. Mellberg is the Captain of Sweden and Mark Delaney is a regular international.

Liam Ridgewell will become one of the best central defenders in the country but right now, with the lack of direction, motivation and management he looks lost.

The manager played his preferred midfield tonight but they were dire. Gavin McCann did better by trying to say on his feet but he didn't know what to do when he got the ball.

Mr Ellis, do us and the players a favour. Get rid of O'Leary soonest.
