    Who instead then? Parky's no reason to come back at all so who else would you let sign ten players then sack immediately? Is it any wonder the squad is so disjointed when we don't give managers proper time to get it right. We're literally making ourselves look like idiots by complaining this much so early on, the sense of entitlement is a joke..

    Not really as our manager has won 2 games out of 14.

    Let that in sink in - 2 bloody games!

    Hardly failed? Look at his record here so far. If you ask him he will more than likely state that he needs to improve.

    Bowyer has been in the game for a long time and knows that football is a results business and knows what happens to all football managers if they don't get results.

    I think the next 3 games are key now. We need wins. He's been here long enough. We need to see if Bowyer is capable of putting a winning run together. 2 wins of of 14 is unacceptable! No wins this season so far. Sorry but it can't carry on for much longer. The aim is pomotion not to go to the Conference.

    I believe we will go up this season but I am not impressed with Bowyer so far.

    Look, for me we need to go back in the transfer market but what Bowyer urgently needs is a top assistant. He needs help.

    Like Collins he's looking out of his depth at the minute.

    As for the sackings last season, all of them were correct. Collins should never of been hired, Hopkin was wrong fit. What do you want? A manager struggling running your football club?

    We can turn it around but need to win the next 3 games. Early to say what we need I know but as I say Bowyer has to prove himself now to the City fans. He talks a good game.

    Surely, we buy/loan better midfield players and I do think we have a squad capable of going up.

    It’s hard to argue with any of that to be honest.

    We do need a win sooner rather than later, because the current undertones on the terrace will soon seep into the squad, the pressure will mount and hey ho, its a replay of last season.

    Whilst you’re clearly not a fan of Bowyer, you must have seen enough football to know that chopping and changing gets you nowhere fast.

    No one wants to sack a manager but how long do you give it?

    Results mate! All about results!

    I said the club was wrong to hire Bowyer and should of gone down the youth manager route to enable them to rebuild but the Bowyer route highlights we want promotion which is fine but pressure is on getting them results now.

    I've nothing against Bowyer. I see poor results and poor decisions being made added to poor football on the pitch which is disappointing so far.

    The highlighted is bang on but at this minute I think the 442 comments are accurate and would at the very least allow all players to play in their best position.

    Left wing would be Gibson. He can do that role while we hopefully get a left winger in. He's disciplined enough defensively and got an assist from that position at grimsby.

    CM would be palmer and akpan (yes I know). I though that combination in a 442 worked well against Wigan so why not try it again? You never know they might suit each other. But akpan still needs replacing.

    Plus it allows Donaldson and Vaughan to play next to each other and form a partnership. We saw glimpses but promising signs in the time they played together as a partnership against Wigan and then for the last half hour at grimsby.

    And then as an added bonus Doyle and Anderson are nowhere near the starting XI.

    That comment was related to finances. Since then we've had or are due 2.5M from the Mcburnie deal.

    Bowyer been in the City job for 6 months now.

    Yet still doesnt know how or when to change it in a game, still played the wrong formation and his team selections are baffling.

    Get PP back before title hope's are over.

    Yeah but that team wasn’t made up of bottlers, shirkers and good old fashioned shit.
    There’s absolutely nothing positive to look forward to until the shit is shifted and we can rebuild properly.

    Nobody would use Edin as a reason because it won't be an intentional move to expect or want his style of chairmanship to continue - but by piling pressure on Bowyer after two league games, unfortunately all that is doing is extending Edin's strategy.

    The Jacko thing is a fair example, but Jackson assembled a terrible side due to Archie Christie's interference.

    That era needed ending right away - there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the current manager IMO.

    I've seen very few calling for his head. The majority are expressing legitimate and obvious concerns about how we've started the season.

    Which is why I said some of you? @Steeton@Steeton was one that stuck out in particular.

    I was agreeing with point about the mentality of some of our fans who want to keep changing the manager every couple of months

    It’s difficult to accept especially when( like me ) you are disagreeing with his team selection and formations but we’ve got to give him time

    2 league games and a really poor performance and drubbing in the cup.
    Cup games used to be where we would see fight and release of any pressures that the league might bring.
    None of that happened last night so who do we blame??

    Blame Bowyer but don't call for his head surely being logical? It's a new season, we haven't actually lost a game in the league although performances do need to improve. But is that really enough to warrant a manager sacked? 2 effing games and two draws because if it is the fans are to blame for the state of modern football is in just as much as anyone else.

    its him failing to see the formation, tactics and the team he puts out isn't working. He's not identified that yet.

    Anderson should not even be starting games at local sunday level. He's not a central midfielder or footballer in that matter.
