    I'd expect FGR to survive with Cotterill in charge. I don't think Doncaster are hot, i.e. there's six or seven worse than us.

    Gone are the fond memories of Colin Todd and the Reggae boyz. This is dire

    I don’t want Young to come on. I want us to sell him and hold the money for a competent owner, CEO and Manager who know how to spend it.

    I want a the current owner, CEO and Manager out of this club.

    The off the pitch mess doesn’t need to be spoken about - we all know about that. On the pitch these past 7-8 games GA has served up are an absolute disgrace. It’s up to him to at very least make sure these players show some desire and make them at worse hard to beat. He’s made last seasons top scorer look like he’s ready for retirement with his dire tactics. He has no passages of play or system at all. For a career as a defender he’s manager to make us as solid as a chocolate fire guard and as clueless going forward as I’ve seen us for many years.

    What an absolute shambles.

    Long throw down the line.
    Gets headed out.
    Rinse repeat lose the ball.

    2 of the slowest centre backs in the division playing on the half way line
    Ridehalgh hasn't crossed the ball from promising positions.
    Odour should be in his position at LWB with Chapman in Odours position.
    We are so immobile it's unbelievable.
    Swindon just have to hold their positions and battle for the ball and nothing else because we aren't giving them anything to worry about.
    If you don't know that pace is key in modern day football then you shouldn't be in it.
    Hughes thought possession football would do it so signed immobile players who can pass.
    Now we have a manager who seems to play a no risk/quick turnover, physically demanding style but with players who are soft, slow and old who you can tell don't want to play this way, then teams can roll us over with ease

    Hey remember when sparks picked Alexander as the new gaffer(not even his first choice) and live on Sky an unprepared Alexander sent out his new team to face Notts Co and City were 4 nil down at the half :joy:
    Graham has sorted us out now :sob::sob::sob:

    It's easily as bad as anything Bowyer, Hopkin or Adams served up.

    Cook continues to be a worry, but then again he continues to be paired with the very mentally poor Smith and Odour. Collectively, between them they're body language is that of a person who's lost three winning lottery tickets in consecutive weeks.

    No idea, what you do in this situation - as the manager.

    For now. But its not just about how 'not as bad as a handful of other teams' we are right now, it's the trajectory. Without serious change, this club is bang in trouble.

    Did I hear Kiwomya right?

    "A £200,000 gamble" to play Young.

    So much for "what about Ali Al-Hamadi" lmao

    I suspect that's the offer we had that we rejected, and I suspect Kiwomya knows that but isn't really meant to say it.

    And what did GA do, drop the fastest centre half we have to the bench.
    GA continues to leave our technical players on the bench.

    Young for Cook
    Chapman for Oduor
    Richards for Ridehalgh

    Imagine playing Smith and Young up front and then kicking the ball randomly in the air towards them

    We just don’t look like we have a plan on or off the field

    we need a second half like at Notts County

    3 changes at half time
    Young for Cook
    Chapman for Smith
    Richards for Ridehalgh

    Looks like we've gone back to 343

    Lots of comments about GA, Sparks, Rupps etc

    The players have a lot to answer for though.

    No excuse for personal performances like this
