Throw Maloney into that, keep Burnett in a starting role and that would do for me

I think Agar isn't really bothered about the rest of the season, i think he's more concerned with building a squad to challenge next year.

he'd be stupid to ignore this season

as if we keep losing the pressure on him will keep building from the fans and the board (who will be looking at our gate receipts and worrying) meaning that next season as soon as we so much as lose a game he'd be in big trouble.

I don't think people will just forget all about this season and 2008 as soon as 2010 starts.

Even though I am trying my best to.

Good post, I think we've got to accept Agar is going nowhere this season. If we finish 11th or 12th the pressure will be on him from the off next season. If we get off to a bad start I cannot see him lasting, could be gone within the first 7 or 8 games. Also I would imagine pass sales will take a dive for next year too, adding to the pressure he's under before the season even starts.

It is headlined in HDM, that Agar has said "Right us off at your own peril"

I have not read the article, but [afaik] he still believes we can do a job this season.

Knowing the players he has, he believes they can still come good.
So if they fail to reach their aspirations, would that then mean, he has failed as a coach to deliver?

Is he just talking the talk?
