Re: A genuine question for both sides...

If that is aimed at me, the usual level of stats was provided in the usual place after the match on Saturday, and didn't hide from them being very poor and negative.
Edit: And to answer the original question about what both sides need. I suspect those who have turned/want Revs out, no less than two wins, or four points absolute minimum, would do to keep the wolf from the door a little bit longer. For me, I am obviously unhappy with the current run, but am content with the season overall and believe we remain well placed, and with four more home matches than away matches left, am not concerned about the season. I am hoping for at least four points purely because I fear the ground will start getting unpleasant otherwise with audible negativity and shouts aimed at players and staff, and fans arguing amongst themselves, none of which helps anyone, but unless we fail to win any of them, don't see any reason the manager's job should be in any peril. Despite the poor current run, ultimately we find ourselves in eighth place in League One, which is a phenomenal position to be in for a club of our stature, with the chance to move back into the playoffs with our games in hand (whether or not we do does not negate the point that is the position we are in).

Think we will finish top half?
Would below that count as a poor season even if we are safe?
For me the answer is Nope, and Yep.
But I wouldn't sack him unless it was evident he'd lost the dressing room - unless the football was consistently absolutely dire. Which it isn't, we do still put decent halves in. But I'd be marking his card for next season.

I still think we will finish top half, yes.
Finishing in the bottom half (even if finishing 13th and so improving on last season) would certainly count as a disappointing season for me, but unless close to the relegation zone and only staying up for certain near the end, or as you say there being obvious signs he has lost the squad or fans completely, I wouldn't say he deserved sacking.
Anything below top ten this season would count as a letdown for me, even though us finishing top half of League One should count as an achievement most seasons.

Agree, good end to the season would be welcomed and with the amount of home games we have a real chance of achieving.
What's he's got to try and stop is the comparison to Smith who got sacked when we were effectively safe and had a similar start to the season as this.
Don't believe he's lost the squad at this moment in time, he's never had the backing of some fans.

Based on current form I don't know what I'd honestly expect from those 4 games.
I think we should stick with Revs until the end of the season (we won't get relegated).
It sounds weird but I'd take 5pts with one defeat over two wins and two defeats but that's only so far as to a view of us surviving in the mid-table.
If I wanted some actual positivity then 7pts from those 4 games would turn me around with a defeat at Barnsley being the only blemish.
Honestly though we'll be lucky to get 4pts on current form.
I'm predicting 2 draws and 2 defeats.

According to Reece on Twitter, Goode said 'this f**ing manager' after the game which suggests he might have.
Fwiw I don't think we should sack him yet, but he has to try something different - starting with not blindly sticking with Reid on his own up front. If he's not confident, why not? He's had a consistent run of starting games up front which is far more than many of our more talented strikers have had in the past. He wasn't alone but today he contributed absolutely nothing - again - aside from one pathetic shot when through on goal

Even so, does the length of a managers contract affect form on the pitch, which is all we really care about. It's Phil's problem if he can't afford the contract not the fans.
Unless we are implying Revs got his 5 year contract then decided to say cool, I can slack off now and not bother, and who cares about how the results go. But that seems very unlikely of the character I see.

The misery is knee jerk. And the same certain people revel in it.
The season isn’t played over 10 games, nor 14, it’s played over 46. If we nose dive then panic by all means. It’s not been a fantastic spell for a while now but there’s a lot of overreaction nonetheless.

Oh don’t get me wrong it’s not fun viewing. First and foremost we’re in a results business (also not happening right now).
At the start of the season we played with more intent. What we’re seeing now reminds me more of last season. Somewhere along the line, for some reason (which may not be due to Revs, but it is his job to fix it) that intent has gone awol. I think there’s been a bit of a “freeze” where we’ve realised how well things were going early doors and as a result have reverted to “don’t lose.” Sadly when that goes wrong we inevitably do lose.
I said the other week I’d rather see us fail but miss out swinging than playing within ourselves and still failing. The first option gives us more of a chance of succeeding. I stand by that. The absolute melt down after every game is just a bit much. It wasn’t this bad on here when we looked like we were dropping out of League Two (twice).

If we had that average since the start of the season we'd finish on 39-40pts.
Last season that would have had us finishing 22nd and relegated.
We're currently playing relegation form football but some are still trying to mask that with the first 10 games.

I am at the point where I wonder when people will admit the Rev's doesn't know how to change things for the better. 2 wins in 14, and not looking like scoring. let alone winnig a game. Yet we play the same formation and tactics week in, week out. Playing Reid up front on his own is a joke. Complete waste of a striker, who can't play as a 9. This is turning into freefall. I really want to be positive, but its impossible with a manager that repeats the same mistakes over and over. His argument last season was that he didn't have the players to play in his system. He brought in plenty over the summer and yet here we are. Without the good start to the season we would be in a relegation battle. We are getting one good performance every 5 games or so. WTF do they do all week long on the training pitch? I'm looking forward to the post match 'That wasn't us' from Rev's.
