    Not wrong about Reeves at all. He's just added to our negative play. No reason at all for him to drop so deep to pass sideways. None!

    As for teams not going up in December it's true to a certain degree but I would say West Brom and Leeds are going up already.

    Are you saying managers don't get sacked until the end of the season? Really? Think Mansfield sack their manager yesterday.

    Point is yes we're 5th but we should be in the top 3 clearly and with the fixtures in December this should be achievable but dropping points to LO doesn't help.

    The club is kind of where it's at because it doesn't operate on strict aims and goals to move it forward. The aim has to be automatic spots. We can't risk play off's under Bowyer.

    Mansfield sacked their manager because they are poor and well down the league. They were expected to challenge for promotion again, after just missing out last season.

    There is no comparison to their position and ours. We are actually in a strong position to push on

    Mate I can't be bothered going through the managers sacked this season but not all managers in the bottom half have been sacked more have been in the top half.

    It's about targets and the future. Do you really think Bowyer is the man to take this club forward?

    Maybe we need an attack qualified coach?
    Ex striker who knew his job.Bowyer was a
    midfielder,does that equate to the number
    of midfielders we have?

    A good manager has to be able to set his team
    up properly but they can't always understand
    every aspect of players roles.That is probably
    why we've struggled in handling our strikers.

    Recruiting players with reputations as goalscorer
    is one thing,knowing how to get the best out of
    them is another.

    I suggest that has been a problem.

    No not on the face of it but nothing should suprise us in football. My point is the team is lumbering along just hanging on largely because despite itself rather than because of. We are not in charge of our own destiny as a true promotion contender is in the main. We are relying on others just being worse than us and that cannot carry on too far into New Year or can it ?. It is complete dross in this Division.

    Swindon have Wellens, Hunt, Jewell(football director) - footballing men

    Bowyer has Drury to turn too. Enough said really.

    Following on from yesterdays shower, im sure i read that Vaughan is captain due to his demand before signing a contract.
    Can anyone confirm or deny this???
    Either way imo he's not earning the right with his constant poor performances, cheating and feigning injuries etc.
    Not the role model/leader we need now imo.
    Cooke is more vocal, busy, and a fighter. He would be my choice.

    He’s getting less than zero service, been made to do donkeys work for absolutely nothing in return. I actually feel sorry for him.

    You offer no alternatives. Insert brain cell and have a think. Consider the options. Flying off the handle every time we have a few poor results no matter who the manager. Over several seasons. Pathetic. Never proffer a positive option. You would think the opposition teams should lay down and allow us to stroll to victory every week. You’re unreal and unfortunately for labour like Corbyn. Not credible. Back to your play dough and temper tantrums.

    I wasn’t that confident pre season due to the gutless showing last year.

    [

    It's not my job to offer alternatives. It's pointless.

    Only thing I know is Bowyer has be sh&te since he has been here!

    Look, the club will have to make a decision soon enough if we continue to play like this and not move up the table hence why I would set a target of top 3 by the end of the year!

    Now get in your box and pipe down.

    You're (intentionally?) missing the point that we started the season with a very poor midfield.

    Bowyer noticed, and brought in Pritchard, Connolly, and Cooke. That meant we were no longer relying on Anderson, Devine and Akpan.

    An improvement, you'll surely agree?

    He will have identified that goals are an issue, and will presumably add more faces in January.

    If this window is as successful as the last, then all your criticisms are issues to address, not issues to sack the manager over.

    Just let the man get on with it.

    Why don't you get in your box and pipe down.

    SM has as much right as you do to express an opinion as you do.

    The fact is that you cant have any sort of reasonable debate when someone comes back at you with an alternative viewpoint.

    Like if GB is sacked who would YOU want as manager? All you say is its not up to me to speculate or give names. Actually you can if you wanted to. But you don't.

    You are increasingly becoming the Jeremy Corbyn of this forum. Talks a good game but has no substance.

    Not really fussed about the Jan window. I am more concerned about his tactics that's having a negative effect on the club.

    We've the players including Doyle to get out of this league.

    If I am honest think we need to ship Akpan, Anderson and Devine out and maybe sent Palmer back.

    Bowyer's tactics currently won't get us up automatically. In terms of play offs it's 50/50 because he's not that good for us.

    Why do you want to replace another manager? We’ve gone backwards (with the exception of Bowyer), since we went down that road. Imagine the reaction of every other club in this league if we jettisoned Bowyer at this stage of the season. I guarantee he’d be snapped up by the vast majority of clubs.

    Your not giving him a fair crack of the whip and decided from the end of last season that you didn’t like him. You’ve questioned every decision he’s made since the start of the season (and last season when he’d no chance to change things). The stats provided by @Rcbantam@Rcbantam show we’re making progress and you along with a few others seem blind to the facts.

    I’d love to hear who you think would do a better job on and off the pitch at our club.

    As for those down the road, I’m looking forward to the usual implosion around March time....

    Do you really think more signings in January will make a difference to our scoring ability? Most of us already realise that the best striker in the division wouldn't improve us so I'm not sure who you think we'll sign that will sort the issue out.

    For what it's worth I think all we need is a LW in an attacking sense because the rest of our attackers are more than good enough, they're just being misused and held back.

    Nathan Jones. There's an alternative. A proper training ground coach.

    I'd take him in a heartbeat. Sadly I don't imagine that feeling is reciprocated.
