    Out of the last 11 and 33 points with got only 16.

    Currently it's no win in 4.

    No win this year so far.

    3 points from 12... we won't be going up under Mr Bore. No chance and doubt we will finish in the play offs.

    You happy with failure? A change is needed now to give us a change.

    3 wins in 15. 9 shots on target in the last 5 games or something stupid. How long do we let him take the piss out of us? People are spending their hard earned cash and getting nothing in return.

    In Fordy's calendar, NYD took place at the end of 2019.

    There's been a lot of smoke and mirrors from the club about the McBurnie sell-on and FFP. At different times different excuses have been made for why we couldn't afford X or why Y had to leave. The reality is that the Blades are paying Swansea the bulk of the fee for McBurnie in instalments ithis season from their PL instalments. The Blades didn't want any hangover from the deal into next season just in case they were relegated and things got tighter and of course Swansea wanted the money asap. The share of the fee for our sell-on follows that same instalment pattern. Quite apart from that the Blades have to pay Swansea an additional fee if they aren't relegated at the end of the season. We also take a share of that. And all of that should have been understood once the Blades and Swansea had signed their deal.

    Linked to that is that receiving the McBurnie fee this season means that we won't breach the FFP limit this season. So yes, imo the club could have organised things differently particularly once Scannell had left. Timing of this was critical. Whether Bowyer could have spent his transfer budget more wisely given what he did with certain players is debatable but why he chose to extend a couple of existing contracts for example doesn't sit well with me.

    We actually won on New Years Day.

    But no, I would not be happy with failure. No, I am not particularly enthralled by the football we are playing, however, I think we will push on now that Devitt and Donaldson are on the verge of returning. Top 3 still well within our grasp.

    The one thing I do think we need though is a hard tackling midfield enforcer, we are far too weak in midfield. Whether Bowyer thinks we need one, or if he does, whether we can get someone, is another matter of course

    Keep the faith Fordy, and look forward to the promotion party in the Spring

    He needs to change something asap as it's just become the worst experience watching it, but the "3 wins in 15" is kind of glossed. 2 were cup games against Shrews. If you went by his last 15 league games, as lets face it , the league is how a manager is judged mainly.... 5 wins, 7 draws, 3 defeats. Yes, 22 points from his last 45 isn't promotion form (9th in the form table over that spell) but that form is mirroring our inconsistency as well as the rest of the leagues. Kicked off that 15 spell one of 3rd, now only 2 points off 3rd because everyone else is just as trash as us at building form.

    While the table looks as it does and we are one game off auto spots, he wont get sacked. End of. In a way, other teams being just as inconsistent is keeping him employed.

    I agree with quite a few on here regarding our manager I do feel though we need to stick with him.. The next five games are all winnable only Cheltenham causing a threat but that’s an home game.
    What I would like to hear is a boost from Stefan and Julian to cheer us all up maybe a Garry Jones type signing coming in as Captain .
    Looking forward to Mansfield on Saturday this could be the turnaround , we need to get behind the lads.

    So let's ignore our present league position in the table and quote "If you went by his last 15 league games, as lets face it , the league is how a manager is judged mainly.... 5 wins, 7 draws, 3 defeats. Yes, 22 points from his last 45 isn't promotion form (9th in the form table over that spell)" it doesn't work like that form over the season changes for various reasons injuries, players losing form, the teams set up but the true reflection of a season is where we finish in the league and although it's been poor for a while we are still in a play off place.

    Just! That we are just in the play offs is nearly coming to an end.

    The club aims to go up automatically.

    That's my point.... if you bothered but put in the sentence before from my quote I did say the "3 wins in 15" naff thrown around doesn't paint a true picture of the league as it involved 2 cup games, and the rest of the sentence you chose to cut out did say everyone else is just as bad, hence we haven't really moved in the league.

    This 15 games thing thrown around on twitter and this thread earlier is a load of bollocks was the other point to my sentence, as spells like that are easy to twist to paint false pictures. It's a third of the season, that's not form that's a huge chunk. Form is 5 or 6 games and based on the last 6 games we are 11th in the form table. Yes we are in the PO's still, but unless he turns around this form, we wont be there for long. At that point, we entertain the idea of him leaving but not a chance the club would even consider a change whilst we are in the top 7.
