Most liked posts in thread: Sack the manager

Hopefully he is concentrating on the next two home games which could get us back on track. That’s the important thing

 

Without the fans..there is no business. Already have the lease of the ground round our necks.

 

Mate, he isn't going to change his style now. We are in Feb and his football has been dire since he's been here!

I believe we will sack him..

 

What had been proved is results are not more important than performances. They are equally as important. Dull uninspiring football is a negative breeding ground that has a knock on effect elsewhere. Good performances will nigh on every time be awarded with maximum points. Very very rare a good performance gives no reward. And I can count on one hand the good performances this season.

 

Rhodes has had all season so far to replace himself and has abjectly failed, one candidate moving on to a proper footy club.
They are still in cheap mode so even if City find another Baldwin how do you keep him here, you move onto better clubs.

 

Rhodes finding his own replacement ha!

Think he did offer it to someone but he took another job but nothing since.

No worries he's getting paid .. he will be fine but the club won't.

 

i agree that is how we are being run. Where I disagree with both Rupp and Rhodes if he agrees with Rupp is this. It is such a retrograde way of running things when they only way you see profit is to keep cutting back and deprive the very business of investment you are trying to promote so you can sell it.

 

He can concentrate on them as much as he likes but given he has publicly stated he hasn't got a clue what to do to improve things, I don't hold out much confidence of that working.

 

Our home record is good we have every chance of six points over the next two games

 

I disagree we’ll be a lot down on ticket sales. Our season tickets are so dirt cheap most who attend have one, or at least a flexi. When you consider some are OAPs and children I’d be surprised if it’s down a lot at all. Rhodes will be happy with the savings made this window.

 

What if we carry on our form over the last 7 games? What will you say then?

 

We won’t

 

We have three wins and two draws in our last 5 home matches and one of the draws was with 10 men overall we have 9 home wins . We can win the next two then start to put right our abysmal away form

 

You haven’t answered the question.

 

About 1,000 I think. So nowhere near Doyle and Vaughan’s combined wage.

 

Yep! The last thing we need is a meandering set of results, i.e. next few games W,D,W,L,D,L.

I don't want it but heavy defeats to Grimsby and Stevenage - would probably result in a change with still enough matches to get into the play-offs

But on the other hand two wins could make a difference and let's face it, unbelievably, we are not out of anything as we stand now

Hence, when you take into account Bowyers been allowed to bring in players (incidentally someone mentioned he didn't know any of the signings, but apparently he's tried to sign Guthrie before) it's highly unlikely he will be sacked before the end of the Stevenage match

This is a squad, used probably that should be able to get into the Top 7. I'd say that only Plymouth and Swindon look better in terms of the three important things, style on the pitch, strength in depth and organisation off it

But yeah, if we could swoop in Nathan Jones for the rest of the season, I'd have that - problem is we'd end up with a Grayson / Taylor (I'm bigger than this club) type who actually makes things worse

Leave Bowyer in for now and if the nightmare continues, go for one of the new mangers who are impressing, i.e. Matt Taylor - who has a lot of time and respect for us as a club. But that would mean paying a club off a sizeable sum, of course - so it won't happen

 

Fingers crossed Park - that we see an improvement in results, but things will need to change on the offensive front at home, fitness, passing and movement too.

 

In that time we have played 5 games away from home where I agree our form has been terrible. At home we have won one and drawn two one if those with ten men after we had been in front. I think we can win the next two based on that and our home record in general. Then he has to find a way to get results away. If we fail miserably in these two games then I may have to rethink

 

Answer questions!

Do you think 4 point some from 18 is acceptable?

By your mind we will win the next 2 home games.

So, if we draw or loss on Saturday making it 4 or 5 points from 21 would you then accept that Bowyer needs to leave?

 

Agree with this and I still have some slight sympathy with Bowyer (i.e. the Doyle farce). Crawley was exactly the right game to use three at the back

It has to be - not least because our only chance is playing four of Connolly, Cooke, Devitt, Ismail (when fit), Middleton, Reeves (who is going to be needed, like it or not as there are no other remotely defensive players) or Prichard

Middleton or Prichard, Cooke, Devitt and Connolly have to start on Saturday. Very attacking - none of these can be classed as anything remotely defensive, but has to be done
