    No I do not despise him because I do not know him, But you are right in that I think he is a poor manager for the club, I accept the quality of the squad could be better and is out of balance, However would just mention that we have a lot of Championship players in the squad and with better management we would get better results.

    Championship Players
    Paul Caddis
    Hope Akpan
    David Ball
    Jacob Butterfield
    George Miller
    Eoin Doyle

    From Premiership
    Jack Payne
    Lewis O'Obrien

    Most of these would be welcome at most division one clubs and some will be playing championship next season while we are in division 2

    Because they have been subjected to constant changes of position and team selection, They are demoralised and cannot wait to leave the club and who can blame them, Most came here in good faith and have been messed about by managers who have no idea what they are doing, Players pick up on this very quickly and eventually lose some interest, Because he had little time Bowyer should have drilled a style and a team that would play together and for each other to get the best out of them, Instead he has chopped and changed and added to the poor performances. Blaming ALL the players is an easy cop out for poor management

    I wouldn't say any of those players would get a gig in the championship at present, possibly Butterfield if he could recreate him form of a few years ago.

    Or be uber negative for no real reason, swings and roundabouts, sure I wasn't the only one telling you so. Are you upset?

    But the point you’re missing is that Bowyer DID get us playing. However for no obvious reason, he changed the personnel and tactics and set us back to the dire, pathetic team we were before he arrived.

    Zidane wouldn’t make changes for changes sake...!

    If we stook with plan A and got found out then fair enough. Why change plan A if there was no reason good reason to? Dropping a winning formula for the sake of making changes is not the way to go and fans will rightly get on BowyerS case if he continues to do it whether he's responsible for our demise or not.

    The test of the state of the club will be if Bowyer stays or not at the end of the season. If he goes then you know we are totally f*cked.

    I don't honestly know how you can make that assumption. For me Bowyer isn't the problem it's the fact that some of the players are nowhere near good enough, a large percentage of them have not been prepared to put the required effort in and the squad he has inherited is missing players in key positions so he is forced into playing players out of position.

    We need to appoint someone who can keep us in the league next season. This squad will really struggle in league 2.

    Yes.

    A lot to be resolved. Reeves/Wright/Riley/Scannell wages would go a long way in L2 to give us a more balanced squad.

    I honestly can’t believe that some people are wanting us to change manager yet again. Bowyer should be offered a deal for next season now
