    But you'll clap these guys????? That just doesn't make sense -

    But we'll have Beagrie as a hero, who was convicted of assault on a barmaid and domestic abuse.
    Jamie Lawrence was fine too even though he went to prison.

    We'll have Andrew Davies and Jon McLaughlin who got long suspensions for warfare v Crawley.

    Hypocrites.

    They've struggled this year. No doubt about it.
    Watched a Gills Fans Podcast and they said they have been decimated by injuries.

    Ignore the successes though to suit your narrative.

    It's called confirmation bias.

    So you point isn't valid.
    It's not a matter of would I turn it down he knew exactly what would be required at the time as Vaughan did.

    Jones is back at Luton after getting the sack from Stoke? They are currently 8th in the Championship.. is he doing a good job?
    Will Frank keeping Brentford in the PL a success?
    Adams has a couple of promotions and was an abject failure here…..what are you basing success on?? Stop playing football manager and start understanding how football in the real world works.

    For some to say success is only calculated on promotions is just dumb.

    Get Rhodes back until the end of the season and send Sparks back to small town rugby jobs.

    We're Gillingham looking like being relegate from the Foitball League when Evans took over of course not, completely different, I'd suggest Parkinson career
    at Valley Parade trumped anything Evans did at Gillingham.

    I agree. But to say Evans has bombed since Rotherham is just incorrect.
    Money/Budgets are very important and success cannot be just categorised by promotions.

    Wellens??? Relegated at Oldham, crap at Salford and sacked within 6 months at Doncaster?
    Promoted with Swindon I’ll give you that but that was on PPG due to the pandemic.

    I am sorry if I don’t seem keen on a man whose only success over the last 7 years is a 10 th place finish
    A man who got banned for being corrupt
    A man whose lewd to females
    A man who let’s put it right lied to Mansfield so he could manage Peterborough

    Like I said worra guy

    Whilst, we all want promotion, I'd currently say I'd like to arrest the decline, regression and, novel idea, enjoy my football and Saturday afternoon.

    After that shambles today it will take a magician to get those players up into the playoffs. We are miles off. Paul Daniels for manager.

    Yes I told you both managers got their teams promoted what don't you understand, that was my original comment stop going off on a tangent to support your arguement, and certainly don't come the big I am quoting your football knowledge, I've never played football manager in my life, beep beep @Oneside87 reversing.

    Going back to the game, I felt we were beat before the game even kicked off.

    I watched the pre match warm up and to be honest I've never seen a more disinterested bunch. The majority would have rather been anywhere in the world than there today. It was shocking, jogging , no application just going through the motions and that spilled over onto the pitch when the whistle blew.

    I know Trueman didn't have long to prep but surely if you are having a job audition, then don't repeat the same mistakes the last manager got sacked for. We have five wins in thirty odd games and we play the same dismal formation and same dismal tactics as them thirty odd games. Not good enough whatsoever

    But you've cheered and clapped domestic abusers and not batted an eyelid.
