    Since the Brum game where we were undoubtedly shaky, but got the all-important 3 points, we've played well in 5 games against promotion challengers and have perhaps been unlucky only to get 4 points, we now face a slightly different challenge against 3 teams broadly our level. Think 4 points would be a good haul and would seal the deal for him next season

    Andrew French’s latest article (which holds comments from Cleverley) tells me that perhaps the club may not pluck for him longer term.

    Maybe I’m reading to much into it but his comments don’t carry the weight of someone who expects to carry on - and I genuinely believe the club are likely to know what they want to do by now.

    I’m also a bit worried that he’s saying we don’t need a more prolific striker and he’s happy with the one’s we have.

    Hopefully it’s just public support and not his true feelings.

    Cue mass outrage on Twitter/Watford observer page etc but they won't care about that.

    Certainly agree on that last point.

    We need a goals corer if we are to make any progress.

    The recent 0-0 draws are testament to that.

    The whole piece read like he's ready to take it permanently to me. I'd be very surprised if it's not him.

    I hope he doesn’t get it and some backwater league nomark is appointed just to watch the twitter meltdown.

    Proven goalscorers are too expensive. Any signing will be a cheap gamble that may or may not be better than Bayo/Raj - it's about time we unearthed a diamond for next to nothing thru our famous network (ie Nani :)).

    It will be completely absurd to keep him on.

    He has a tiny amount of experience and you people think it's reasonable for his first job to be a club of our stature? Anyone thinking that's a good idea has very, very low intellect.

    That seems to be equally true though sadly when the BBC don’t do an article on us!

    I’ve not got one of those, but I do have an apple corer I can let the club have for a very reasonable price if that helps. I’ve already been told to address all correspondence on the issue to a certain M.O.G.I. Bayat, so I’m quietly confident a deal can be struck.

    Yep.

    In the same article he says that "when we play three at the back and are solid we look a little bit toothless in attack", which is already about as much of a criticism as you're typically likely to get.

    It reads as if he'd ideally like more potent attacking options, while at the same time thinking we can still perform a bit better with what we currently have.

    Horrible feeling that Clevz is showing the initial symptoms of yesmania.
