    But you also told us that the team play better at the smaller grounds when the pressure of home fans isn’t against them I know Harrogate broke the record for the attendance today so maybe that scared them

    I thought the lad saw Halliday with his hand to the floor and simply kicked the ball at it. Maybe I am giving too much credit to their attacker but seemed like a smart move

    We hire a capable CEO. Preferably under a new owner.

    Talk of changes at any level below that is akin to rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

    The owner needs to sell and then the new owner brings his own team in. As long as the current owner refuses to invest then incoming new manager, CeO , Scout will still be trying to operate with both hands tied behind their back?

    The captain needs to go and then a new first mate can be brought in to sell tickets for the rearranged deck chairs. .

    Leadership of any business or Government starts at the very TOP. Remember a fish rots from the head!

    Board don't care all they care and think is most will renew whatever we do. And for those who won't we just raise prices by 25%

    So whose fault is it right now, given the magnificent support last summer to support a promotion campaign (cough cough), yet we find ourselves just about safe from relegation. And how will that change in the summer do you think if the same amount or near that amount actually renew their ST?

    Please don't say we need better players to get out of this league as we have been saying that for the last six seasons and look where we are.

    Maybe just maybe the ST sales are not the problem but who is spaffing the money away? That's what fans are very alarmed about. What makes you think we will suddenly become so much more prudent with our signings this transfer window?

    We have to play 11 so dropping all our crap players would leave us 11 short

    Alexander is a disgrace. His football is so mind numbingly boring, lacking in any sort of quality and worst of all, just plain stupid. What sort of idiot sets up a team to play hoofball in those conditions today? I mean seriously.

    He is not THE problem at this club obviously but he sure is A problem that needs dealing with. He cannot be in charge next season.

    We need to employ a proven manager with promotions under his belt who has full control over transfers.
    Sparks has employed the wrong managers and those managers have just been puppets given players they probably didn’t want on the recommendation of Gent.
    Phil Parkinson with the budget we’ve had over the last few seasons would have taken us to the Championship as would Steve Evans.

    Completely agree. I can't find a single positive about Alexander. I worry about him bringing his own players in.

    You're right about their home form but, the 2nd best away record in the league makes them less than dire IMO.

    I worry about him retaining certain players that we should be waving bye bye to in the summer.

    I'm going to delete my Twitter account so I don't have to witness the inevitable Liam Ridehalgh one year contract extension.
