    I was one of those at the beginning, give him a chance, but now it's obvious he not good enough the fact that he will eventually leave here and score for someone else is obvious.
    His saving grace at the minute is the fans aren't in stadium to ridicule him, cheer when he substituted and abused the entire game.
    I admit the lads confidence must be destroyed but when do you as a club give up as a manager give up on him!!

    He looks like a Sunday league player on the pitch.

    Why exactly did you think he needed more time?

    Its a subconscious move by SM to show all young kids that anyone can be a professional footballer.

    He is hopeless, ive given him grief plenty of time however he must of had something at some point, he got into double figures somehow twice at this level.

    Those 2 years at colchester and stevenage how was he played, who/what was he partnered with. We are lumbered with him now so may aswell utilise him properly. Sticking him wide left is doing him or us no favours

    If you give s Damn and things aren’t going as planned then surely you would be busting a gut to make amends. Guthries body language and lack of effort is startling.

    When will McCal give up on Guthrie?

    Hmmm. Difficult to say. Depends when the dice that gets uses to pick the team fall in the opposite direction.

    He won't because he brought him and because hes a poor manager he can't admit his mistakes.

    You're wrong mate.

    Would you trust someone to spend your money knowing you were sacking them the next day?

    Bowyer has even said himself he didn't know these players were coming in(in Jan).

    Do you believe McCall just got the call on the Tuesday after Bowyer was sacked...No mate! Come on!

    Not sure about that, bowyer states here;

    City manager Gary Bowyer added: “We are delighted to have further strengthened our squad with the addition of Kurtis.

    “He provides a real presence and natural goal-scoring ability up front - and adds great value to what we already have.

    That doesn't sound like a manager who just got given a player.

    Do you have any sources for that?

    My source.

    Bowyer 'brought' him actually. Can you admit your mistakes?

    I think Fordy might actually be on to something.

    Look at the signings from that day...

    Lee Novak - key player for Stuart at Scunny
    Glenn Middleton - from Rangers and the Scottish National system
    Kurtis Guthrie - obviously wank but Staurt loves him

    Is there a common theme there? Hell of a coincidence don't you think.

    I also remember Bowyer saying that he had no idea about at least one of those signings but it may have been on the radio rather than in print.

    Never seen a striker be scared of heading the ball for his size and prescance he should bulldoze everyone out of the way he’s either needs to be sent out on loan to score and get some confidence or we should get rid do think fordy is right these were McCall’s signings

    I'm not sure what people thought Bowyer would say? 'I welcome Kurtis to the club but he's nothing to do with me'?
    That signing summed up the whole ethos of the club, last minute panic buy with no real thought to it after the woeful handling of the Vaughan situation. Then a week or so later we sack the manager who allegedly brought him in. Absolute comedy gold.
