    Does our league position mean we haven't won any games since mid-November?

    If not, your point must be 'well we've clearly improved, but not dramatically' - do you really hold that against Hopkin? Dramatic change?

    And pulled back 8 points that we were adrift.

    Fair few = 1 or 2.

    They’re 22nd in the form table over the last 10.

    Sorry, I just don’t see how he’s some magic alternative to what we currently have.

    I agree but I see similarities with Parkinson’s season 2 and we all know how the cup can distract league form.

    Who has said they expect to “turn it around within 6 months” though?

    I think fans just want to see improvement and if you exclude December, our current form and/or style of play is no better than when he first took over. Take out our purple patch, have you seen anything (anything at all) since January 1st that gives you confidence we will get enough wins to get out of this mess? Especially as we struggled to break down teams in supposedly ‘winnable’ games and now have a run of very difficult matches.

    If a business' own performance sees it running the risk of bankruptcy, do you really think they would stick with the original non-bankruptcy based aims and goals?

    Shit no, it would be all about redundancies and stream lining.

    Stop on but that's why the Jan transfer window is a simple.

    GET BETTER THAN THE 1st TEAM PLAYERS OR DONT BOTHER!

    P' O'Connor - waste
    Anderson - waste
    Clarke- waste

    Woods and Butterfield are the only players you think ok then.

    However- Woods injury prone
    Butterfield on high wages and we've have 5 players that can play in his position.

    So don't come back with point about being responsible when Hopkin's transfers have been irresponsible on the highest level.

    Actually we did need competition for places, even with a slight overstock of certain positions.

    Wright won't ever play for City again, nor Riley - so we signed Anderson and O'connor.

    A few players left.

    The best value forward apparently was Clarke. He'll play more games than not.
