Only if they're magic bootsNext club he goes to, suddenly finds his footy boots and shows what he can actually do when played in the right position. That is how it normally goes.
Oh well - hopefully the replacement will be better.
Good luck at your next club, unless we are playing that team and then play like you did at Vale.- 1

Talk is cheap, as people used to throw at DF all the time once we were struggling. Let's see what shape we're in come August

Indeed. Central midfield would be the first priority for me. At least 2 players who can actually get on the ball and play.I quite like the idea of Ironside Stevens pairing , but we need to sign some one to create for them -
Think it's safe to say that by seeing fit to offer Uche a renewal, DM has not filled me full of confidence as to his recruitment plans. If he signs, that will be a striker who scored one goal last season, and a left back who was brought in by DM but didn't play in favour of a 16yo.

Interesting that Aiden Stone has been released by Notts County - wonder if he’ll be brought back as understudy?
Why would we do that? He's bloody awful- 6

Smiths done that himself.The problem is most of it is either daft marks, match fixing allegations, believing ludicrous rumours, not understanding anything beyond "passion" in players or a manager and your ongoing efforts to move Nathan Smith up the CIA's High Value Target list!- 2

Jury still very much out for me on DM.
Don't blame him entirely for our relegation, though think he has to shoulder some responsibility as he's completely failed to get any kind of tune out of what he has had. He's also continued to play the same formation despite us clearly not being suited for it.
He's actually made us worse going forward imho.
His biggest sin for me has been playing Garrity, our top scorer, in deep midfield for the majority of his time here.
One transfer window and until November for me to prove that he's got what it takes.- 7

Never quite worked out why it all went wrong for Louis. He never had pace, so in theory could have carried on playing far longer in the lower leagues. His first season at Shrewsbury was probably his best. Not sure he was ever quite suited to playing 442. There was a little run of games when he partnered AJ Leitch-Smith when I thought both were outstanding as almost 2 false 9s. Never quite understood why Aspin signed him as he never really suited the way he ended up wanting to play. Maybe if Aspin had been brave enough to stick with the 3 5 2 he kept trying in preseason Louis would have done well as a 10.
Any player who wasn't a central defender didn't suit Aspins style. Sure he played 5 in one game

Easy innitI just hope we dont get the old DF spin of you have to wait until right at the end of the window to get the best players,lets strike early and bring in a good striker to give us a bit of hope for next season- 1
-
He didn't but more than most. He's by far the rawest of our youngsters for me and would likely benefit most from a loan at VNL level. Has ability thoughI didn't think that Shorrock did much at all - opinions, eh?!- 2
-
Sounds like DM will be clearing most of them out and then rebuilding a new side around the youngsters here already.
The joy of close season, looking for the retained list and thinking what - why let him go, you kept them and then wondering who will be coming in.
I don't think anybody in their right mind will be saying 'why let him go?' when the retained list is published. Will probably be the first time this season everybody is in full agreement- 2

We've been garbage except for 1.5 seasons Smith has been a first team regular. People used to make the same argument about Pope. First season after we let him go we went upWere you saying that during promotion season? And every other L2 season for that matter?
L2 is his level and guess where we are next season… He can still do a job for us. -
Agreed. If this had been anybody but DM (say Kennedy who was written off immediately when he was rumoured) there would be no OVF for molten serversWe weren't in the bottom 4 when he came.
We've scored in 7 out of 16 games and he's managed 9 points out of 48.
Woeful- 2

Forgot about Lowe. Add him to the list but not in place of SmithReplace Smith with Lowe and your bob on. -
What has been DMs game plan? Nick a point? He can do one for me too

Though I'm unlikely to get my wish:
Grant
Iacovitti
Smith
Weir
Ojo
Loft
Uche
Jones
Wilson (as much as I love him)
Massey
Lopata
Mighten
I'm giving Debrah the benefit of the doubt on account of the shower next to him, but it's close
Edit: And Lowe (forgot about him)- 3

What an idiotic decision it looks now for Brum to bring in Rooney and sack Eustace

46 points is going to be enough I think. Can we win 2 home games? COME ON VALE!

Do you really believe that it's that easy to get around minimum wage laws?They don't get paid by the hour in professional football -
Out for 2 weeks initiallyAny news post-match on the Wilson injury?- 1

DM hinted that Clark is going to be out for the season, as is Dan GoreWe've got players coming back into fitness at just the right time.
Thought plant was decent in this game despite being played out of position twice.
Uche not far away and will be helpful as a last 30mins chaos sub.
Clarke there or there abouts.
Be interesting to see how much of a high Dipepa is on after his U17 exploits. We might actually have a stronger first 11 and more threat on the bench -
The manager picking his own boss?If Carol is keen on Darren Moore as the lengthy contract suggests then ask Darren to pick his director of football. -
But at least we played with pride.
I keep saying it....we are worse under Moore.
I somehow lasted at the game until the point where Wilson aimed a cross field ball to DiPepa...straight out of play.
Then the interviews....God help us,although,I don't think he actually could
Carol has allowed Fraudcroft to help assemble this squad and we are stuck with them next season. His process is appalling ..it has no substance. Get loans in,they go back,get more loans in. The only striker we have signed is Uche. Even an idiot knows you won't score goals with no strikers. Arblaster made Ojo look decent. Devine carried the MF when he'd gone. I actually think Ollie will get young player of the season and he hasn't played since December.
Owen Dale has made 15 appearances and 13 as sub with 2 goals and 2 assists. Jones made him look like Messi. This was playing against a team that got hammered 5-0 on Tuesday.
Yesterday will have been the last straw for a lot of fans. They've already started disappearing where I sit...over 20 home defeats in 2 seasons ..Carol...you are running the club with your patronizing appointment of El Presidente and your snotty condescending letter to the fans backed by an obnoxious arrogant fool who announced he isnt thinking of relegation
