    Bronco, he is making it up, he s posting mccall lost 10 from his last 12 games.

    I think he thinks Rochdale and Southend wins were just wet dreams or maybe wins against oxford and fleetwood dont count?

    If we are doing stats why not throw Grayson's Sunderland period into the mix as well.

    It has definitely been a season that Simon will want to forget.

    Onwards and upwards.

    ok praise is wrong, but getting a free pass as the players are now being quoted as terrible under Grayson.

    Same players were 1 point behind blackburn in January before mccalls 5 league game loss got him the sack and it was McCalls fault regarding formation and tactics when we had no full backs and a fragile squad.

    So some need to make up their minds.

    hypocrite comes to mind.

    There should be no free passes. Grayson should be accountable for his poor results.

    McCall, Rahic and Abbott should be accountable for the weak squad they built.

    McCall should be accountable for the results which eventually got him fired.

    The only question is whether we can improve on Grayson's general reputation if we focus on his results.

    Heres my opinion

    - We had a decent first 11 that punched above their weight
    - Injurys took its toll and squad depth was lacking
    - Luckily we get into the transfer window well inside the top six and near autos
    - Edin plays his game of poker aka T&A article
    - Round pegs in square holes takes its toll and loosing run starts.
    - After fan chants amazingly we land a group of players at 1 time
    - A week later, Edin gets his wish and McCall is sacked
    - Edin thought fortunes would turn around as it was McCalls failings
    - Grayson is appointed to appease the mass as he is not a coach Edin can manipulate
    - Results dont improve and we drop 5 places in the league table
    - All of a sudden to keep the theme its McCalls fault the players now take the blunt
    - Simon gets a free pass, and rightly so but so too should have mccall
    - Hyprocrites fail to see the bigger picture is not the manager(s), players fault but the depth of the squad.


    i want Grayson to be our new manager full stop. Not because oh his stats (4 points less than the sacked mccall over same period) but becuase he is a manager that Edin cant manipulate.

    Can you imagine him being told to play Jacob Hanson in January when we were just outside the autos? NO CHANCE

    Grayson would walk, and why not!

    Rupp? he will be away playing with his other toys. I said he was over here making apologies and trying to sort out the mess his partner has created.

    Anyway need to go, Majorca awaits and bags need packed.

    Results have been garbage and the performances have been below garbage. It's easy to "keep it tight", we don't need to pay Grayson to do that, Abbot could have done that, even Edin could have done that. But SG and his expertise were brought in to ensure we didn't slip down the table and remained in the top 6, that's what Rupp said on his appointment. Garbage.

    They weren't.

    I was replying to a post which said Stuart would have got more points than Grayson.

    I can't agree with that based on the final few performances under Stuart.

    But the facts remain the same. McCall got more points than Grayson in their last 14 games.

    McCall had a depleted squad for most of January, especially in defence. We had to play a dev squad player (Hanson) and then a central midfielder (Guy) there for most of the month and a winger (Robinson) at left back. We also missed our regular CB partnership at this point. And I don’t think people realise just how much we missed Doyle through this period.

    We eventually got the replacements in that McCall was desperate for (but not the striker he yearned) but was then given just 1 more week to turn things around.

    Parkinson had an awful run in his tenure too, but he was given time and resources to turn things around. Nobody will know if McCall, having worked with his new players, would have been able to improve us. But it won’t have been any worse than what Grayson managed.

    Such irony. You might well regard someone as 'twisted' or somebody else as a hypocrite but I doubt either of them would be considered as racist.

    Just remind us again Taddy, why were you sacked by Rahic for your behaviour towards certain City players?
