    It's no win in 5 no matter how you dress it it.

    We should be going unbeaten until now until the end of the year and winning most of the games.

    However, lost to Plymouth and drew yesterday. Yes we might win on Saturday but will more than likely go to Leyton and lose with Josh Wright scoring a few.

    This is way Bowyer needs to leave! He's too negative and with inconsistent results.

    You have slagged the team off for not being up to Reeves ability and therefore a recruitment of poor standard players and now you say we have a team capable of automatic promotion. You must be a politician. Which party do you represent?

    Bowyer won't make it part February if he doesn't get his act together.

    However, maybe we should get rid of him now if he can't get the best out of the leading goalscorer in the country.

    Can't see us sacking him. It's gonna cost money to leave, money we don't have/want to spend. Rupp doesn't care about us, therefore doesn't care about the manager.
    Also, not sure there are many managers out there to employ.

    I'd suggest that if we don't get promoted one way or the other at the end of this season, then that's the time for the board to have a rethink about the manager. Don't think it'll happen before then.

    He will certainly see the season out regardless of getting us playing or not
    we wouldn't be willing to pay off his contract
    As for getting the best out of the country's leading scorer if it means changing formation it's a non starter

    We're in League 2. There's a big problem. Under Bowyer we wont finish top 7

    We're a top three side based on almost half a season of game play.

    You have to admit, those moaning about more than individual results and performances and trying to stretch the limits of imagination to create a problem are borderline deranged.

    To be fair, only five players in the entire division have scored more than Vaughan

    It’s his general play I’ve been disappointed with, as ex PL thought I might have seen a few glimpses of class, ie a goal out of the blue etc

    He should be on ten for me, and I'd expect ten in the second half the season too.

    He should be pushing 18 goals this season, and if we're top three wont all this moaning look silly?

    Yep fair enough, still expected more to be honest, maybe I was expecting another Waddle dropping down the leagues :)

    Macclesfield just draw games.
    We aren't alone in being held at Moss Rose.

    I agree some results have been annoying, but the worst was losing to FGR who ironically look like contenders.

    I do feel concerned about our performances in this league and feel that we need to step up and push on. Promotion is a must I believe if we don’t get promoted we will lose support.
    Christmas is coming up but I feel no buzz within the club we are missing a James Mason type and need more from our chairman and Julian.
    I also have concern about our manager I’am not an expert in modern day formations but 443 or whatever, have we the players and skills to play it should we get back to basics and play to our strengths. Our Forwards have scored 10 goals between them not good enough we need Doyle with a positive attitude or spend some cash.
    We need a good run up to Christmas and then push on promotion is a must for me as a along time supporter need to get out of this bloody league A.S.A.P
    On a more pleasing note I am currently top of Keighley Bantams Fantasy Football League so if Gary wants any advice 442 two big lads up front.

    I mean I agree with you. The wheels COULD come off, validating the criticism, but for now they remain attached and we're doing better than I expected after last season's catastrophic' performances.

    I honestly don't know where your standards are set when it comes to football mate. It's not a dig but the standards seem pretty loose.

    We've been poor of late and not getting the results.

    Forget last season. We didn't buy Vaughan, Donaldson etc for last season mate.

    Because he is a negative manager and wasn't thinking of our attacking play more like how to defend against them.

    7 in 52 PL games doesn't scream "goal machine"

    What it actually shows is just how poor league 2 is. They are a very limited side beset by off field problems.
