    if you climb the table with 1 shot on target per game then fans will moan about style but will applaud regarding outcome regarding points.

    however, take away the points then its a recipe for disaster/

    fans vote with their feet and there is a bigger picture here. If we dont call it a day then crowds will dwindle further. Look on here as an example of how many have had enough.

    We won’t Beat Grimsby - Ollie is doing a great job there - Hopefully this will be bowyers last game in Charge. We are better off with Micky Mouse than this Idiot in charge. Drury has got to go too - he is stealing a wage.

    Great job might be a stretch. Think he’s took the shackles off a bit and they are scoring more goals but only one win in 5. Hardly a team we should be fearing but way we are playing....

    Maybe JR is hoping to reduce ticket sales so Rupp sells cheaper?

    By which point it's too late so why even bother? Always reactive, never proactive.

    We will have to wait to see what the statement says and try to read between the lines. It can hardly be a ringing endorsement. It will be all about damage limitation. I will be interested to know what it says, if anything, about the recent transfer activity - in and out.

    It's one thing having faith in the manager and another confident he will deliver. Someones in a corner.

    Agree bar the Todd bit, a dour man , mr beige, he didn’t care for us fans much, we were on a shocking run before he got sacked. The killer was losing Windass in the January, another belter from Rhodes ( letting best player go) to try save cash that backfired.

    Yep, many will remember the capitulation at Huddersfield under Wetherall, the sudden reality dawned that the team was shit, Todd had been fire fighting but now the game was up under the rookie & we were going down.

    I see parallels here, I still amazed when I read terms like "Talented" & "Under achieving", what have these fans seen on the pitch? The team is shit (IMO) and the next guy won't do any better with it than Bowyer. It's bonkers to sack him immediately after the window, it's too late, I'd give him at least 10 games, if there is no significant improvemnt, get rid, new guy can use the remainder to assess and is not inheriting the negative baggage for fans to beat him with on his first bad run, which won't be long in coming.

    Hhmmm need to be careful with statements like that.

    we were up in arms when a previous manager was fired after saying the exact same thing and there is a vocal group on here who want that very same, doesn’t know what to do, manager brought back!

    i think there are four new recruits, two wingers and two big front men so best of luck with that Gary in shoehorning them in. I think we must have seen the last of the five man defence. Hasn’t he now made Donaldson captain so he can’t leave him out. How do you get Novak and Guthrie in then?

    Ultimately it will be lack of bums on seats that will get the message through to the R-men. I imagine there will be as many turn up on Saturday as would right now attend a performance by the Chinese National Touring Opera Company!

    Bowyer is the 30th longest serving manager in the EFL, there are clubs which have changed managers twice in that time.
    Stagnation springs to mind

    If the communication is not what some people want to hear I doubt they would welcome that.

    A good post.

    Sparks said the players that left, left for footballing decisions. However, I hear that it was Rhodes decision to sell Doyle and Bowyer didn't want too. Bowyer went on record in the summer he wanted to keep Doyle. Vaughan we know fell out with Bowyer.

    Vaughan still have 2 years left on his contract when he comes back!

    So, yes Doyle and Vaughan have gone but the replacements that came in was because we were ratting about trying to bring players in. These players were not identified by a scouting network because we don't have one! Sparks admitted we put in plenty of offers for players.

    So, to say he's saving money etc isn't really true as Vaughan has 2 years left and the two new players that came in are here until the end of next season. Doyle was out of contract in the summer!

    Bowyer has come out today and said he's clueless to what's happening.. He's not saying he needs time with his new players etc because he knows about as much about them as you do!

    Football is based on results and Bowyer's results are not good enough.

    Fans don't like him and it's not going to change! The longer we keep him the more people lose faith in Rupp and Rhodes. Needs to go!
