    Every team from about Wycombe in 12th are now involved. We could do with a couple of teams who probably thought they were well clear a couple of weeks ago, go on and have a long losing run, teams such as Southend and Accrington have well and truly been sucked in, due to teams who were in the bottom 4 picking up some decent results recently. Of course, we still have to help ourselves with a few more performances and results like yesterday.


    Its going to be an interesting last few weeks of the season, that's for sure

    I've said it since November time, Stuart will send us down when we play them last away game. Then Wimbledon at home will be one of the most drab and uninspiring games known to man, due to them also been relegated, but I'll still be there!

    On the other hand we could win our last two and stay up. Not the hardest of games

    I genuinely don't think we will be now. I think we will win our next two games at Oxford and Blackpool home, still think we will go down, we've given ourselves too much to do, but think it'll be closer to the end of the season

    I'd be delighted if we needed 4 points from Scunthorpe away and Wimledon at home.

    Think Wimbledon could well be fighting for the points to stay up

    Yes it's looking like that since I posted that... just us with nothing to play for on the last day then!

    I really wish Stuart all the very best and I am sorry it hasn’t worked out at Scunthorpe. But please no clamour for for a third go with us.

    With a special seat in the stand where he can support the new manager

    I'd think at 4:50 Bradford City is the first result Stuart looks for, he's one of us mate.

    Listen @Bronco@Bronco Stuart is probably the biggest legend as a player the club has had and knowing what was to follow him when he went last summer we would have been better sticking with him.
    But I believe as a manager Stuart is to much one of the lads. Just listen to Killa and McMahon talking about him on radio Leeds last week. When it comes to cracking the whip when a team is on a losing streak he can’t do it

    Less of the "listen bronco" I'm not your wife :), yes hindsight is a wonderful thing.
    Regarding being one of the lads, I assume he was the same in his first season back when he took us to Wembley, being one of the lads was his way of doing things and it didn't seem to be a problem on our way to the play off final.
    You would have had employees that some needed a kick up the arse others need a quiet word, he put his arm around Marshall and convinced him to stay that second season he was our match winner so many games either scoring or making an assists.
    Yes I listened to that Radio Leeds program and it came across that the players had a lot of respect for him, I honestly thought it was a nice touch, seeing him more as nice human being rather than the boss, obviously different managers have different ways, I believe the players under Phil Parkinson had respect for him but knew when and where to have a laugh or a bit of banter.
    I don't think Stuart will be asked to return as many have said we've tried it twice, Phil Parkinson could be out of a job soon, maybe some would use a similar argument not to bring Phil back.

    That sort of approach works until things start going wrong. Now go and eat your dinner or I’ll crack the whip

    Yes but when things go wrong they can only be put right with a joint effort right down from the owners (there's a laugh) through the footballing side and ultimately the players.
    There was certainly a situation that arose in January that upset the playing staff and I agree them downing tools ultimately lead to Stuart losing his job.
    Back to my original point maybe if the powers that be in January had approached the situation differently the season might have been so different.
    Just had dinner [​IMG]:(.

    Scotland job now available.

    I think our man, Stuart McCall could be do well if he got that position.

    He was a coach for Scotland until he became the so called “Head Coach” for City of course.

    SkyBet currently have McCall at 28/1 to be next Scotland manager.
