Last week the team scored 5. Not bothered who it was against but the team must feel confident after scoring 5?

Paton and Cole scored 2

Hall played well at RWB

This week he sticks with his 3 CBs,John at RWB and plays Garrity and Headley to support Cole

Moore deserves all the stick he gets for that starting 11

Go go go go .

carol have some 🥎 s

The clamour for Moore to go is not unexpected. However, Carol won't press the panic button just yet. She will only do so when she absolutely has to because a new manager for the moment can only use the same squad.

I believe she will give him until the end of the month before considering replacing him unless things get really dire as the last two league games have been.

Don't be surprised if she gives him until after the Bristol Rovers game in December to try and turn things around. After all, doesn't he still have 4 years of his contract to go in theory?

It's a rolling contract that's reviewed at the end of every year so there will be no big cimp package involved, would like to see carol take decisive action and bin off Darren now 

Liam.Manning would be a good appointment , He's available 

And his team's play good football ,

This is what we get for signing known crocks though. What did all Blackpool fans say when we signed him? ‘Good when fit’. Sick of signing crocks.

What a pile of <ovf censored>. I take you have seen the injury that he sustained. When the defender put the tackle in he ripped his ankle ligaments and has needed surgery. Nothing to do with being a crock. Just a freak accident

I wonder if the pair of you can spell or learn the English language by the end of the season?

Better odds on staying up 😉 😛 

I still think a more astute tactical manager would have kept us up in League one when he first arrived with the number of games we had left despite a poor squad. Moore’s record in League 1 with us is dire. Like others have said, league 2 is probably his level. The recruitment over the summer was poor and combine that with poor team selections, poor tactics and poor substitutions then you can see why we currently sit second bottom of League 1. Fortunately, there are still plenty of games left and a January transfer window to come to get rid of some of the poor signings and hopefully sign some better players but it’s whether or not the owners want to stick or twist.

What does non sequitur mean ?

Schoolboy Latin tells me this means “it just doesn’t follow” i.e. a false conclusion

I have just seen our next 5 games and I honestly can't see us winning any of them:

Wycombe (H) who have really picked up since appointing Michael Duff and have gone from bottom of the league to 14th in the space of a few weeks.

Plymouth (H) who are bottom of the league and are playing as bad as us yet we all know what's going to happen as a certain ex player is going to score the winning goal.

Lincoln (A) who have gone a bit patchy in terms of form but are still in the top 6.

Bradford (H) haven't won in their last 5 games but did draw 4 of those yet somehow are still 2nd.

Luton (A) Excellent win away at Stockport today and will pick up now as I fully expect them to finish in the top 2 come the end of the season.

So he’s out for the season. Hopefully back for our promotion push next year in Division 2

Vale were well beaten today by an in form team, whatever team Vale put out would have made no difference to the result and likely the scoreline.

 

Can't agree. Better teams get beat by lesser teams up and down the country every weekend.

The very unpopular view is that Steve Evans would gel with PVFC very well. We’d absolutely love to be hated and be an aggressive, horrific side. 

Despite some doubts about Steve Evans, or probably anybody to be fair, I've just watched a recent interview with him and he may not be a bad shout. Since leaving Rotherham, he lost over 6 stone in weight and done some personal life reassessment. He now seems recharged and ready to get back to the touch line, so I'm guessing that his motivation will be through the roof, when he decides to step back in. 

As far as Liam Manning is concerned, I'd be wary of appointing  a manager who is coming off a bad run, same as I was we we gave Darren Moore the job. Ideally, whoever and whenever the next manager is, I hope it's someone on the up. 

Glad it won't be my decision, but it may be disastrous or brilliant to try to tempt Robbue Savage. Madness if it failed, or inspired if he was able to take us forward. 

Robbie Savsge- not a bad shout

QV,

I agree with the great majority of your posts, but think you're off the mark there.

Vale's first 30 minutes today was a sparkling performance for the manager.

And then we were outplayed by a side which costs nearly twice our budget, and which hence has Championship-standard players.

It's our performances against the EFL1 bottom-half teams which will define this season.

Sorry AV,

 

I should have put "player's don't want to play for the manager", because I was really referencing the comments on this forum more than my view of the actual performance.  I agree that we looked the better side until their 1st, but we are just so fragile at the moment.

oh <ovf censored> - just put BBC 2 on  and DARKEST HOUR is just starting - Oh how apt ...... But there is hope in it as they get rid of Nev Chamberlain and bring in Winny . The rest is then history ....... Carol TURN ON BBC 2 and see what to do !

Its OK, Darren has been seen on the bus on the way home brandishing a piece of white paper and proclaiming 'League 1 survival in our time.'

I watch from afar these days. 

I see the moans and the defenders of Moore and I’ll just leave this here. 
I’ve not been a game this season. 
If Moore gets sacked I will return but I refuse to pay to watch his brand of football.

Heres what I did. I stopped watching anything on social media. From an interview with manager and players to monthly updates on the state of the club. 
Instead of being brainwashed by that I sat back and let my eyes tell me what I think every week when watching them at home. And here we go……

Boring football. It’s <ovf censored> dreadful. It’s not edge of the seat football. It’s grim to watch and people can bang on about chances missed etc but the build up is dreadful. We don’t give ourselves chances to win games because the majority of the chances are half chances. We don’t score because we don’t create sitters to miss.

The defence is woeful. 
Forget the score in the cup, I watched a backline that were the chuckle brothers against a pub team.

The midfield is garbage. 
No legs. No tackles. No fight. No assists. Utter <ovf censored> garbage.

The wingbacks. Don’t get me started. It’s so simple to do homework on us. We don’t change shape. Most are out injured anyway. It’s easy to defend against. 

The forward options. 
Attrocious. 
Having watched us beat the pub team, if you think Faal and Brown are anywhere near league one quality then you’re delusional. 
Paton doesn’t get a prolonged run and tries too hard when he’s on the pitch and Cole, like it or not, is a downgrade on Tolaj. Look at his goalscoring record. It’s bang average.

The recruitment. 
Woeful. 
Some clown from Stoke who was awful at his job gets a job here and here we go again! It’s almost like when Flitcroft was as here! 
At least 6 or 7 of the summer signings are utter crap. 
Now, add that to the fan reaction when Nathan Smith left and Debrah stayed and look at where Tranmere are! And yet Smith is probably better than Debrah, who is an absolute liability. 
Still not convinced about Humphries. Shipley? Garbage. Faal? Garbage. Brown? Garbage. Waine? Garbage. Marosi? Embarrassingly garbage. Probably more I’ve missed.

And then after breaking down that our squad is pretty dreadful….. we come to the fist pumping manager. 
A bloke who is a clone of Andy Crosby. A bloke who spins you fans with his utter guff every week. A bloke who would make a good politician. A bloke who must put numbers in a bag and pull them out when picking his team. A bloke who is WITHOUT QUESTION welllllll out of his depth with results in league one football and also the football on the eye.

So from someone who has sat back and watched this garbage from afar and kept quiet and not listened to any spin coming out of the club, I’ll ask you this……… If you are happy going to watch this awful drivel every week. Sitting on your arse. Not singing. Because the product is crap. Then you carry on. I’m happy for you. 
However………

Make no mistake……

This manager is absolutely clueless at this level. He must resign or get sacked by Monday. He has lost the dressing room. And I’m so glad I haven’t wasted my money on watching the guff he puts out so FA this season.

When an exciting manager comes into this football club and gives it the kick up the arse it needs, I will return. 
Hopefully it will take Sir Darrell Clarke to put him out of all of our misery.

In the meantime I ain’t gonna get embroiled in debates. I’ve become detached enough. But I’ll watch with interest as the club sleepwalk to relegation and Carol, YET AGAIN, will let it happen. Or will she? She holds all the cards.
