    Why do we have this weird fascination with ex-managers and players? Does my noggin in. McCall was a great player for us and we played nice football but we achieved nothing. Move on.

    This season is done. I’ll be surprised if we get 8k renewals. Something is seriously wrong behind the scenes.

    I wouldn't friggin blame him. We're in bad need of some kind of lift though, whatever shape it comes in.

    Agree with that.

    I left after seventy minutes. I've never done that before.

    What got me was in the first half when there was a break in play for a couple of minutes. Our team just stood around. The two O'Connors doing double teapots. Where was the leadership? The regrouping? The team looked lost. They knew they were fcked.

    They should have walked the second half should Oldham. How many off the line and O'D saves

    Because the toxic atmosphere must be dispersed?

    I can see the logic, don't think it will happen though.

    The problem now is just like last year the new guy has to come in and like Hopkin start scouring the unattached list and working with the dross signed by the last regime. He’s putting his own career on the line with someone else’s players. Only someone desperate for a job is going to do that. Do we want such a person? W might get another G N. There are definite parallels with last season.

    If the BBC stats are correct, in the past 4 games we've conceded 17, 17, 15 & 26 shots, bloody hell!

    Alright, Parky then ;)

    I wouldn't call it a fascination as such but he at least knows the club, prob better than most. Considering the circumstances we're in, where else do you look?

    I don't believe its a go'er btw.

    2nd half we were shit.

    1st half was an absolute shambles.

    Not sure fuming is the word, not one player can take any credit from todays game, no professionalism about that performance today.

    I was willing to cut the club some slack over the transfer deadline situation, but after another capitulation how is this guy still in a job.

    We are screwed.

    No midfield to tackle their players. We just back off and off and allow them space @abbomf@abbomf

    With German as good as this why don’t you ring the Boss up and have a word. Seriously. You can but try.

    Jon,

    I simply don't see it. He doesnt (and in my opinion doesnt have the character) turn it around the toxic atmosphere is still there it is just directed elsewhere (as nothing is McCall fault).

    We can't look back...McCall its not the answer. Neither is McFarland, Jewell or Parkinson. All managers with much better records in that they actually won something.

    ADMIN. Can you put a block on this (and any other thread) whereby anyone who mention McCall in the same breath as possible new manager the system automatically deletes it?

    Would save a lot of hot air (me included) being expended :)

    I don’t know why anybody with the remotest interest in football can’t see what every single one of us can see. Our midfield is just so weak. Firstly Reeves should only come on if we have an injury. We should have Cooke and Pritchard right there in midfield. They are in my view the best we have at the moment.

    Here’s the really strange one about Bowyer. He’s defensive minded and sets up for draws and one nil wins but doesn’t have a defensive midfielder on his books. That is really weird.
