Bowyer May of well started after season

Yes, but that's because all teams that beat us know they've been in a game with us and go on to struggle afterwards.
Hopkin said that so it must be true.

 

Why on earth did we give a two year contract to a manager who has managed seven defeats on the bounce. Why not give him a target of wins first before deciding. The sheer incompetence of this football club never ceases to amaze me.

 

Because we are going to need a manager who is going to take risks with players that are going to require time to bed in. Unless you were talking about this squad, in which case we would not have any manager, I may be wrong as I do not have the gift of foresight but I don’t think any manager can pick a team that can win out of this squad. They are done, nothing left, no confidence in either their own skills or the managers belief in them.

 

How on God's green earth is it the new managers fault? Yeah lets just sack him !

You forgot "harder to beat" aswell

 

Yes you seem to know football less than Rahic

 

I don't think you could of put it better ;-)

 

I didn’t check for grammar or spelling and the dreaded autocorrect

 

Maybe because at the time we offered the 2 year contract he hadn't lost 7 games on the bounce .
No matter who our next manager was he needed to be brought in after Hopkin left to give himself the chance to see (for himself) what would be required for the coming season.
We've had Collins, Abbott (caretaker), Hopkin, Drury (caretaker) and now Bowyer and none of them could get a tune out of this shower, I think most thought we were down before Hopkin left, I'm far from happy but he must be given a chance with his own squad.

 

Any team that has had a merry go round of managers in 1 season is bound to falter. I was expecting a bounce and a fight but our confidence is shot. Our pre-season has a lot to answer for.

 

Didn't I say he should stand down from First Team Affairs two games ago? He's just wasting his time if his intention is to get beyond September next season! ?

 

so he steps down. We win. then what?

I will tell you.

We would have your ilk on here shouting look what happens when bowyer is not in the dugout.

 

Probably yeah ..so he steps out and we started winning why would you want him back ?. But realistically he's only got 8 more games two this season and six next to turn this completely around. I didn't want to be saying we should change again but he's done absolutely nothing but send us completely off a cliff since Rhodes appointed him. If he doesn't see us through he first six games at the top of League 2 even his greatest backers would have to accept he will need to go !

 

I totally agree. If after he stamped his mark on the team over the summer (we assume he will be able to do that) then I think anything less than 9 points out of the first 18 would be borderline failure, considering his abysmal end to this season.

I am still surprised that he has struggled to get at least a few points out of this bunch of players. Maybe they're not our best team ever (we all agree on that), but surely a really good man motivator should have been able to fire them up enough to at least get a few points on the board.

 

No, no, no.

We need to apply some level of competency otherwise we are dragged down to the lowest common denominator. We aim higher than that....surely?

 

Are you suggesting if a poster is not up to a certain level with regards spelling or grammar they should not post on BT ?.

 

No, as long as we can all read it. What you are saying is, if a poster writes a post with several grammatical errors or spelling mistakes, not to mention punctuation, I will be compelled to follow their lead?

 

Firing them up, as you put it, doesn’t stop sloppy mistakes. Firing them up doesn’t stop your attackers from missing the target.

Look at most of the games under Bowyer (excluding Blackpool), we’ve been in the game until we make a poor decision and the heads drop. As good as Bowyer needs to be, these players have been spineless all season, so it’s no surprise that Bowyer can’t change that.

We have collected ONE POINT all season from a losing position. That’s not down to Collins, Hopkin or Bowyer. That blame lies solely at the door of the players

 

As I’ve said umpteen times already, it all depends on how Rupp & Rhodes can shape this squad. We have 16(?) contracted players already for next season. Unless we are able to move the majority on and still provide a competitive budget for Bowyer to spend, I can’t say I’m confident of an immediate return to L1

Raising the level of discourse or at the least just getting the spelling right...hhhmmm now there's an idea!

It doesn't need censorship it needs reading before posting. Surely we can ask that much of each other?
