The point is the new manager bounce usually comes in the first few games (see Swindon, Shrewsbury and Burton). They all won at least 2 of their first 5 under their respective new managers. It’s safe to say we haven’t had that bounce under Brady. 2 points in 5 matches. Maybe it’ll start to happen tonight. Let’s hope so.
But for Racecourse standard goalkeeping my Mitchell, Brady would have won 2 of his 5 first games!

Derek Adams now 10/1 on BetVictor.
I can’t believe I would ever write this .... I’d rather have Sol C !!!!!

The biggest problem I can see is that looking at the stats of many of the names mentioned on here they would have to punch well over their weight for the rest of the season for us to stay up. Realistically we need 25 points from 45, which is huge ask, though not impossible. Unfortunatley come the final day our fate may not be decided by us, but a reliance on the demise of those around us.
FWIW I think 50 points will easily keep a side up this season. There are 6 or 7 poor sides, us included. We'll see, they could all go on dazzling runs....

Historically most seasons 50 is enough, I'd be surprised if 48/49 isn't enough this year.

Now you people who keep criticising Brady can stop. The way he's got this team playing is so impressive from how bad they were under Curle 4 weeks or so back. Who is going to do a better job??

I like Brady, but the actual football today hasn't been much better than Curle's, we've definitely played better than this today and lost.

Miles away from Curles football , we scored and kept a clean sheet

With the seven teams all being consistently poor I cant see three of them reaching 48-50 points..... 45/46 might be enough to survive.

Tonight was a good example of what Curle had been trying to achieve but hadn't come anywhere near. It helps having the pace of Miller and Kioso in the side but we would still have been playing 5 at the back. Solid controlled performance most importantly creating chances when we broke second half.

I’ll bet money it isn’t.

I think it will be 50 points to be sure.

I hope not. I like Brady and would love him to do well for all our sakes, but one swallow doesn't make a summer. Let's see how we shape up at Pompey first, and then we might have a better idea of how things will play out over the following weeks.

it will come as no surprise to hear i think JB and his team should be given the job until the end of the season and possibly beyond . I advocated this when Curle was still here because he likes to do things the right way . I honestly don’t know what else another manager could do . We create more chances and are more solid at the back . Stop the goalkeeper making mistakes and get the centre forward scoring and we could escape ....

I would like to state that I think there have been a few swallows in the last couple of weeks. Its quite likely that we will not get a result against Pompey, they are a top team, but Brady has done more than enough for me and should see us through the next 12 months at least, irrespective of which division we are in. KC was given loads of time.

I think it would be very harsh on Brady if getting the job came down to having to beat Pompey!
Let's be honest, our target this year would have been to stay up, even before the car crash this season turned into. Even if we were sitting comfortably mid table there are certain games you wouldn't expect to get anything from - Sunderland, Pompey, Ipswich, Charlton, still all big boys at this level. Of course, on the day, we could get some sort of result against any of them but you wouldn't expect to.
Personally, I'd give Brady the job now but we can't expect anything other than a good performance on Saturday with any points going on the bag being a bonus!

I never mentioned beating pompey, but worst case scenerio would be to hand him the reins and then go there and ger thumped 6-0, because then all the doom mongers will be straight on his case. I actually think it will be a tight game, and (just maybe) we might surprise a few people. I just don't see the need to rush an official appointment - other than to please a number of people being vocal on here.

No it really wouldn’t be harsh his record would be one win in seven.
