    TBF, it was only what some others were thinking. Fordy beat Trevor to it by a mere 50+mins.

    Good post @Yorkie@Yorkie, my complaint is in Scannell we have one of the best (if not the best) wide man in league two and we bench him so we can accommodate all three strikers, poor team selection for me, by all means play that system if you have a guy who can play the role behind Donaldson & Vaughan if not make sure you can accommodate Scannell.

    Where have I said we can’t judge other teams? I just don’t know how someone can be so confident to make the bold claims you have about their struggles. I don’t really care what a couple of their fans thought. Go around and ask our fans and you’d get all different answers, same at any club so it’s no indication in the slightest.

    Tell you what burns charity bet. They end bottom four I pay £100 to the burns unit, they end above 15th you pay £50? Even giving you the better deal considering how confident you are they’ll struggle.

    Regarding the happy clapping I’ve already said it’s nonsense as he picked out a few positives as he can do I remember Port Vale first game of 16/17 season, that season didn’t go to bad:thumbup: said my peace can’t be bothered to go in circles any more.

    It was not a good performance but he says its not a thread calling for his head..............he could have fooled me, Christ if some are having a go after the first 90+ minutes God help us if we don't get anything at Grimsby, who beat Morecombe with ease today according to the BBC stats.

    He got a bye because of what he came in to, but we all knew we were down he really knew we were down and he's had 5 months to make his plan get his players in. Pre season saw us use 433 in every game we played apart from liverpool. This isn't just 1 game, it was the game where all his planning with his tactics and his summer of preparation came to fruition. And it simply was quite poor. He said he needs 2 Windows to fix it, fine give him 2 Windows but anything other than promotion is failure and with failure he writes his own future.

    Beg to differ. Lack of guile there clearly but effort was there.

    I like bowyer and have been really happy with pretty much everything he's done since he came in. But if he plays with Doyle, Donaldson and Vaughan together from the start again I'm not sure how long my patience will last. But unlike Hopkin and Collins, he's not stupid and I don't think he'll persist with something that won't work.

    We did not look better with the change. We didn’t create anything of note.

    Fans clamouring for it but it didn’t change a thing. They were just happy they had got their way.

    Who did you suggest he brought on instead of Longridge later on in the game?

    The squad is not ready yet and a couple of injuries have robbed us of any options on the bench. Nothing to do with colville etc getting contracts.

    I’d have brought Wood on for Henley the moment they went down to 10men and Scannell for Doyle. It was clear that 4-3-3 with Doyle wasn’t working, so when they took off a striker, I’d have gone 3-5-2 and gone for their jugular with 30mins to go.

    O’Donnell
    Mellor - O’Connor - BRE
    Scannell - Devine - Palmer - Gibson - Wood
    Donaldson - Vaughan

    We showed more attacking threat in that last 10mins than we did in the previous 80mins so it has nothing to do with “happy to get their way”..!

    Why not? He’s had last season, a full pre season, a big budget. Stop with the small club mentality. Today was poor!

    That should be a weak to weaker contract.

    I think he’s the biggest fake, since..........Edin Rahic. He’s a journalists dream, talks a wonderful game and boy he loves our club! In reality, he’s a poor manager. But, he got Blackpool promoted how can we forget.

    So you want him sacked after one game? In another thread you’ve called him a poor manager, did you say the same after the first game of the 12/13 season?

    No. That would be silly! We should have won today, big crowd, home game, fresh start, just win at all costs! Salford did.

    Eh??? So you want us to keep someone who you thinks a poor manager? Now that’s silly.

    Happy clapping time .........

    Our 'undefeated' campaign continues
    Yet another clean sheet
    Positionally - We are some distance from the bottom two

    Listen!!! Poor managers are given time to turn things around. I’m just not one of the supporters, gullible enough to think he is the messiah based on his interviews and general rhetoric. We need wins.

    Just one final point from me. Bowyer has now stated on at least 2 occasions that he has signed 10 players. Wrong. He’s actually signed 12 (possibly 13);

    Hornby
    BRE - French - P.O’C - Longridge - Henley
    Palmer - Anderson - Devine - Ismail - (Colville?)
    Vaughan - Donaldson

    Poor managers shouldn’t be managing teams with promotion ambitions, at least stand by your opinion. You’ve made a thread stating he’s the biggest fake since Rahic, why would you want him at the club if you think that. My god it’s silly season on here tonight.
