Farewell Eric, we hardly knew ya (though what little we found out was probably enough). The positive for James Morrison this weekend (and possibly beyond, if the board are out of ideas and smart enough to recognise this time that inviting any old no-mark to fill the hotseat is not the solution to anything) is that most of us are increasingly resigned to our grim-if-not-yet-inevitable fate, and would vastly prefer to meet it with one of our own at the helm. Despite our ongoing dire away form, this game is must-win on paper, not least because Oxford are six games winless at home and haven't scored on their own patch since Boxing Day; but the tide is coming in, and I'm not sure we can reasonably expect anyone to stop it on command.
If he succeeds, then he'll be known henceforth as Miracle Mozza. If not... well, we all go down, we all go down, we all go down together.

Come back up, win the cup, kick s@&t out of villa.
Isn’t that how it goes ……..
Not holding out much hope, I reckon another draw. We’re only three points behind Blackburn so all is not lost …. Apart from hope maybe.

In the words of Half Man Half Biscuit “I gave up Hope ironically for Lent”, and I’m kinda feeling like that now. However, full support for Mozza.

In theory and as has been the case in football so many time - a team will win after the sacking of the manager (I know it’s not the same when the club is West Bromwich Albion).
I predict a win.
The problem with that is I am not convinced Morrison is our saviour and can do what is required.
I don’t think Dyche will drop down to us, even if it’s for a short term gig with mega bonus payout on survival.
I don’t like returning managers and think Carlos and Moore would be a huge mistake although Bilic was performing well when fired and I’d make an exception for him.
Other names associated are random and I don’t the club has time to interview and select someone, if there has not already been conversations during Ramsay’s reign!
