    0.9 points a game
    6 goals for
    14 goals against

    Personally I am not fussed if he is in charge next season if Edin is still here.
    His form over a season is currently below MK Dons who average 0.97pts a game and are currently 23rd from 24.

    I dont buy we have shit players. This squad without Jan recruitment at the turn of the year were averaging 1.85 points a game which is 85 points a season. Good recruitment and we would easily have made play offs.

    Thats not lucky as many thought on here. That was teamwork. Something our owner destroyed. These players may have been punching above their weight under McCall but when we needed our owner to step up and support the team the manager and the players he fell way short.

    Will Grayson get the support McCall did not under Edin?

    He has to go for me.

    His results for us have been shocking and his football totally dire.

    Agree on both. Thats me for the season for sure. Not renewed as many of my m8s who have less of the City bug have called it a day. Often sat in the McCall suite for a bit of banter but will frequent the odd game now as the love for the club has dwindled.

    And me. Yes, we run around and throw ourselves into tackles more but that isn’t good football it’s just effort. Grayson is not the answer for me. Effort doesn’t make good football.

    No but it is a basic requirement that has been missing since Christmas. That’s why we are picking points up now.

    I have renewed though. It’s more than a manager or owner to me, it’s a family thing. My Grandad went, his sons, my brother, cousins and I , my son and nieces all go and always will, forgot Aunties!!! I’ve seen the worst and the best so every year I will always return.

    Over the last 3 games and today was lucky, and Shrewsbury should have taken all three points with ten men

    Who would you want as manager if you don't want Grayson? I agree he hasn't done anything spectacular since he's been here but I still think he is the best option we have. When we were looking for a manager when McCall was sacked he was by far the best candidate.

    We were better than Shrewsbury they played well with ten men but we always looked like taken the points. And Portsmouth was as good as anything we have seen this season. A lot to do in the summer but it’s a start

    A good manager would get the best out of players. He’s done non of that for me. Genius stroke was putting McMahon in midfield and dropping Gillian to right back.

    Didn’t start with any trickery up front just two big blokes knocking balls on to nobody

    Think Rosalee will be here next season Championship Grayson will be off

    Some strange selections today. Players didn't seem to know what they were supposed to do at times, especially Gilliead who had a shocker. Vincelot offers pretty much nothing in midfield, Callum guy was a huge miss.

    That’s one of my biggest issues with Grayson. Also, players that aren’t going to be here next year getting a game when the season was long gone

    He's made us more defensively solid apart from the Blackpool game, we've had much more discipline in our shape. But like others have said we've been hopeless going forward.

    He's definitely made some dodgy tactical decisions but you can't really blame him for trying different things, given none of us know our best system.

    I would like to see a younger manager come in - someone like Nathan Jones at Luton, but that would most likely be a sideways move in his eyes.

    3 months of poor form and your love for the club has dwindled?..I take it you haven't been watching City long then?. First time for a few years we haven't progressed and you are almost giving up on them?

    It doesn't take a genius to work out why our form under Grayson is so poor. Shit players produce shit results. It's quite similar to when PP inherited the squad left behind from Jackson and finished 18th. We all know what happened when he was backed and allowed to bring in his own players though.

    You think so? I haven’t looked so this is genuine. How many clean sheets have we had under Grayson? He still hasn’t sussed that two left sided centre half’s can’t play together, it’s been a massive problem all season.

    I'm out till August. ST purchased but more out of 43 years loyalty than the outcome of this season. Grayson has lorded it has a Championship manager but I just don't see it. Would like to see a hungry younger manager get the chance but I fear such an appointment would simply see the owners managing team affairs from the boardroom.

    Certainly at home we've conceded less. Only conceded 2 goals in 4 home games and 2 clean sheets in those. And I agree with the left footed issue, but considering we don't have another centre half in the squad he hasn't got much choice.

    We didn't look defensively sound today. Calvin Andrew battered both our centre backs in the first half, they had no idea how to handle him. Only by luck we weren't three down at half time.
