VAR strikes again

Exactly this. You would think some people have never made a mistake on here. Every season clubs have to go down and some go up. Every club can't simply demand a new owner if you get relegated. Clubs make decisions- some pay off for some and some don't. This year we were not good enough. It's a tough pill to take but we will have to move on and rebuild. And I think as fans we should do our bit to support our club rather than turn our backs on it.

All lower league clubs should boycott. The top 6 should bugger off and join their super league then they won't have to worry about the FA cup.

You can make your point without the personal abuse.

For me we need players who hate losing. Something Clarke was good at instilling. We need players who are hard workers don't necessarily have to be the best technically. Give me 11 Garritys please. Regarding Smith- I think he can do a job for us at league 2 which is about his level and he is a local lad also so knows what the fans demand and although we do need a big clearout I would keep him.

I know but I am referring to her most recent decisions. I agree about the Crosby appointment. It was the cheap option. But he was a great coach and they wanted to give him a chance at management (he did ok whilst Clarke was off and you have to get your chance somewhere). It was a risk like most decisions in football and it did not pay off. Flitcroft should have gone sooner but Carol is loyal and does not rush into sackings. You say he's a chancer but remember we did get promoted with his signings. Yes he had a terrible window last year hence why I also agreed he should go. I certainly wouldn't want to run a football club! Big decisions to make going forward and as fans we need to back our club for our league 2 season.

Carol has made mistakes and it was rather naive to not think about relegation our first goal at the start of the season should have been league one safety. However many decisions recently she's made lot's of fans including myself have agreed with at the time. Sacking Crosby, bringing in Moore and sacking Flitcroft. That being said Moore has really not inspired me and although he's working with a very poor squad we seem to look worse under him. Do we give him a chance with his own players or start fresh?

Usual suspects at it again

Well done to Carol. I imagine this was tough for her to do but the right thing. Can't see us staying up now but hopefully we can be better with recruitment from now on. Next decision is do we/Moore need a DOF? I hope people will now get off her back with this decision.

A handful of games ago I had some hope and would have gave Flitcroft until the end of the season. Get rid now. Will make no difference to this season but need to start building for next and there will be a big turnover of players. Other than Garrity, Ripley and Chislett I'd put the rest on the transfer list and start from scratch.

Ripley Debrah Lopata Iacovetti Clark Ojo Chislett Weir Plant Smith Garrity

I think the cowardly thing to do would to have kept quiet and not met with anyone. Have you or anyone else been to the club to ask if Flitcroft is available to have a chat? Genuinely interested if anyone has tried that as he did say he was available for that on the recent podcast and I'm interested to see if it's true or waffle.

Cambridge bring in Garry Monk. Wonder if they will get a new manager bounce

Glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on "arena" 😂 Could be a good drinking game that !

Well it's a shock lineup .. at least Fleetwood won't be prepared for it 😂

Protect your players in the media. But behind closed doors yes call it for what it is.

My positivity is running out. Not a lot to say other than there's only a couple of players who should be kept at the end of this season. Some that should go are under contract. Stoke drop in the relegation spots today. An opportunity missed to play both them and possibly Crewe if we go down.

Loft motivated to come on and score? Out of the two who you want it to fall for in the box I'd rather it fall to a lazy Wilson than a hard working Loft..

Feeling confident we will get something today! ....

Thankful we have Carol as our owner who actually cares about the club unlike grubby conman Clarke Osborne who has no regard for anyone but himself and lining his own pockets destroying anything that comes his way. Vile man with a history of this sort of thing. Unfortunately he will no doubt get away with the same again.

Left back aside I'd go something similar

No suprise with Clark Osborne involved. Only have to look at what he has done in speedway. Horrible man.

Does he not still do them on radio stoke?

Interesting thread from the Accrington owner.. who'd own a football club eh?

When I first saw this topic I thought it was about our defence... Back on topic the site seems to be much quicker -thanks to all!
