    I’m all for ‘supporting your team, and supporting your manager’ but will we stay up if we keep him till the Summer?

    Question is who is out there and available, that is better?
    Gary Rowett or Michael Duff would be far better than what has been and continues to be served up by this clown


  • Question is who is out there and available, that is better?
    Michael Duff
    As oppose to the Duff Michael we have atm?
  • He’ll be gone on Wednesday if we get beat on Tuesday.

    I hope.🤞 


  • Question is who is out there and available, that is better?
    Michael Duff
    Challinor 
    Nah he only won one of his first five games

    Is he still here? Why? 


  • Question is who is out there and available, that is better?
    Michael Duff
    Played 3-5-2 at Cheltenham and Barnsley too
  • Such a great coach though. 
    To be fair he's 'great on the grass' and there's fuck all grass on that Burton pitch today.
  • That would mean the directors would admit they've made another mistake. 

    We're more likely to go down than have that happen. 
    I agree with a lot of your stuff, on this I don't.

    My view is that if we have a shocker of a February they'll pull the trigger.

    Mary, Mungo and Midge will s*** themselves, I'd love to hear this lot bull**** a relegation.

    Formation isn’t the problem. 
  • Honestly I’d even take Bowyer at the moment. 

    We are going down with no change and it pains me to write that …. It would be the end of us….. but I said it for weeks and by the time anyone realises and does something it will be too late.

    Even in the fanbase people were bleating on about mid table safety.

    Everything is too slow. Not decisive enough.

    Theres no time to dick around in football. Change needed now.

    So good at improving the youngsters

    No... But if we're building a squad to setup that way, it would be rather stupid to sign Wing-Backs, and then go for a Manager who doesnt play in that style.
  • He’ll be gone on Wednesday if we get beat on Tuesday.

    I hope.🤞 
    that’s too fucking late! People last week said he’d be gone today if we didn’t win.

    Then it’s gone Tuesday if we don’t win.

    Then it will be the next game.

    It needs to happen now.

    Stockport will be going up this season, he'll be better off financially up there.  Charlton are a CV wrecker.
    Besides, he did not want to talk to us in the summer so why now?

    He will get a breather with a win over Northampton but the home defeat to Pompey will be his undoing. 

    He will take his hands out of his pockets to pick up his compo cheque, but I don’t think he will get another league manager job again.

  • My son is a nutter bought tickets for Blackpool and Derby, he’s taking his Derby ticket back, he’s had enough of him.
  • He’ll be gone on Wednesday if we get beat on Tuesday.

    I agree, he needs to go now, just thought the board would give him more time with the signings.

    Brilliant was the description 
  • Can only hope that they're sounding out Managers before sacking Appleton, so we don't have to expose Pearce etc. to the role for X number of weeks, whilst we sort out our arse from our elbow

    He has to go!! Appalling. 
  • Awful month of fixtures coming up so will be a baptism of fire if he is jogged on.  
     
    Load of shit and he just stands there gormless.

  • My sons are asking for Pearcey to come in temporary l, trouble is he’s such a ledge, I don’t want the fans turning on him and giving him grief.

    🤞 today is the day
    Nice bump. You got me!
  • It pisses me off that we have to pay off shit like this.  He's done fuck all to earn a penny past couple of months. Stealing a living now.  Unacceptable performance (2nd half) and result.

    Can we change the title of this thread until it comes true please? 
    Every time I see it I get a bit excited and hopeful, only to end up disappointed and irritated - all this despite the fact I’ve seen the thread before, so deep down I know it’s not going to happen.

    A bit like watching this team, really.

    To have any chance of getting a team fit for purpose next season there is no other choice-He has to go.
  • It ain't working, next.
