    We'll lose this. If we do I hope Bowyer is sacked. No questions

    Then what ?Do you want Drury in temporary charge.
    We then lose a few and before you know it were out of the top seven and any new Messiah is given the poison chalice with no transfer window available to him.
    Crazy move if you ask me but I suppose a distinct possibility given our managerial track record of late.

    If Bowyer is given his P45 I'd put Vaughan in temporary charge until a successor is found. Dreary would have to walk too.

    I sincerely hope that's an attempted WU.
    Ha ha put a player in charge with no manergerial experience.
    Suicidal move.
    Next.

    Just an opinion Foggy. At least Vaughan may have some balls, unlike Boring Bowyer!

    This is my opinion for what it's worth .
    Bowyer makes definite player moves in the January transfer window.
    Now this can go one of two ways.
    He makes the right signings and we progress or his new signings have little impact and we languish in midtable mediocrity.
    Bowyer loses his job and we start all over again in the summer.Sounds familiar doesn't it and once again we search for stability.
    The damage Edin did to our club was huge both on and off the pitch.
    I haven't forgotten and I never expected great things this season but to be fifth in the table instead of being in Macclesfield Towns plight is enough to keep faith with what we have untill after the window shuts.
    Then and only then will Bowyers fate be sealed.
    It's his decision and one of the biggest he will make.The squad needs beefing up make no mistake about that.
    What is it they say "Live or Die by the sword"
    Very apt in Bowyers predicament.

    So captain Vaughan was not fully fit with his virus today, if he isn't fit enough to start on sun the options are limited and so will City's play be as well.
    Not seeing a corner being turned in this game.
    Mansfield not won in 5 games though.

    Doesnt have to be that way ..we have a "hit the ground running manager" in waiting. He could save this season if everyone wakes up now !. If Bowyer goes then its the end for Dreary no question about that. This situation can be managed its a unique task requiring a unique individual. Cant just sack Boreyer and appoint just willy nilly ? . We might get Doyle back if we execute this properly and he plays for us 4/1 @ Swindon ! . But none of this will happen with Boreyer & Dreary at the wheel steering us into a ditch !

    No I wouldnt want Drury anywhere near the hot seat! I honestly dont think weve got much to lose by getting rid of Bowyer, his style and team selection of late has been nothing short of dreadful. If we were to change it I'd like to see a quick appointment of someone known for playing attractive football, given we have the players in the building to do it at this level, albeit we need 1 or 2 additions. The chap from Luton who Stoke got rid of, forget his name. His football at Luton was fantastic! I'd like him to be considered.

    Were simply dropping too many points against incredibly poor teams that we should be smashing. We wont get a much better chance of going straight back up given the poor standard this year, yet I think Bowyer will blow it, unnecessarily, by over complicating our whole approach
