    There will also be a lot of “arse covering” posts with a very ambiguous message,so posters can points score if it goes tits up in 18 months and also jump on the success should it happen.

    So you would have liked to have carried on with the crap tactics of Hughes.
    Before we get continuity we need to find an attractive and effective method of playing

    We should have continued with Stuart's style of play then, as that's been the best in recent years.

    But, alas, we'll be going as far away from that as possible.

    Alexander is more like Bowyer/Adams than Stuart.

    The truth about Cowley's
    When we were at Sutton losing Cowley's where reported to be at Oxford
    Oxford manager Manning going to BCFC (Bristol)
    Cowley's going to Oxford
    Now is that the true reason they change there mind on the Monday we will probably never know

    I'm afraid I agree with you. I think Alexander is a poor appointment. In defence of Sparks he did go for Cowley and Alexander is like marrying on the rebound.

    It has been a very difficult time for the club, but I do hope they have listened to the fans, plus deadly Derek contribution from the sidelines. Always easy to say I could have done it if I had been left alone. Slagging the fans off for wanting better is not a good way to enhance yourself to the fans who actually pay a portion of your wages.

    Obviously I want our club to be successful.

    I sincerely hope it is a tactical 180 because the squad clearly didn't fit MH's style. That's inevitably why it was failing.

    He will get our support that is for sure, but I am apprehensive but we will have to wait and see if he can carve a winning team out of our squad. Plus is our season effectively over? who knows, we might have to accept that. Hope I am wrong of course.

    Is this ok @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart ?

    “When the stadium is full and the crowd is behind the team, it is a really difficult venue to come and play at, so we have to make it a tough place for everyone else to visit”

    He didn’t use “fortress” but he might as well as.

    He'll be out in less than 12 months. Dreadful appointment.

    “I am really excited for the weekend. You will not see me sat down in the dugout too much, but we know what this venue is like for a game of football, and we are looking forward to getting our supporters behind this team and bringing them excitement.”

    He knows us well and I'm sure he and Lucketti will love having a big crowd supporting them. I hope he can bring some excitement and goals for us.

    The image they used on FB to announce it, he looks bloody distraught :laughing:

    best of luck, you’re going to need it! We must be due a change of fortune, but is the squad good enough?

    He’d probably just had a quick look on here.

    No, it's the first round of the cup which we always lose, that's why!

    Solid if not inspiring appointment. Look forward to more structure and focus on playing on the front foot and shots on target. I hope that they can use McDonalds experience in the hot seat to produce better football to watch.
