3 wins in 15 games, which is the lowest number of wins in the division, and shockingly only one win at home it is starting to be indefensible.

 

For those saying give him the window I say he has decent players already giving him more to not get the best out of won't help. For me his issue isnt personnel its selection and tactics. Especially his substitutions which consistently seem to make us worse. There is a reason we rarely win after falling behind and its a combnation of poor attitude, poor substitutions and poor tactics all of which are down to the manager.

 

We have the best collection of strikers I can remember us having all at one time cole, stockley and paton are all goalscorers then we also have waine, brown and faal who are not at the same level but even faal has as many goals as willo got in both of his last two seasons with us. So the problem isn't lack of goalscorers, we have the best midfield I think we have ever had in terms of depth I mean byers walters, garrity, croasdale, shipley, ojo, curtis, hall and we also have shorrock, richards and plant who we sent out on loan because we have so many decent players it was decided we didn't need them. Our defence is less well stocked as we only have 4 cb's and we play 3 every game but we have gordon, clarke, john, headley, johnson and gabriel fighting it out for two wing back slots (injuries aside). So the problem isn't in midfield either. Our defence isn't the best but they have looked excellent at times so actually I don't think they are that bad I just think we invite pressure and eventually that pressure will force an error out of us. I also think we end up having so many defenders in a small space that they get in each others way and we have nobody higher up the pitch to give it to when we win it back.

 

Surely nobody can honesty tell me that we don't have a team in there capable of finishing mid table in league one

 

The problem has to be the manager.

You've only got to look at the body language and attitude of our players there's no passion or fight in them I think the writing is in the wall for Darren

Our obsession with former players continues unbounded. Let's think outside the box a little. We need fresh ideas to make us a sustainable club in league 1. Ainsworth would be short term ism as people would soon get sick of his football. We've tried the ex player route several times before and mostly unsuccessfully.

Tbh if DM is still in charge I can't see us collecting a single point and if we do it will 1 point which will be against Plymouth.

Tough run of games. Hard to know where the points will come from.

I agree that it doesn’t reflect well on Darren as it seems he’s lost the players. But this also reflects very badly on the players, the useless dossers. I don’t care if they like the manager, throwing in the towel at 1-0 down is inexcusable.

Probably only a small handful who actually looked like they put in some effort and actually cared yesterday. The rest can <ovf censored> off. Stealing their wages.

I’d be tempted to strip Garrity of the captaincy as well. Not exactly sure how it’s good for morale to have your captain looking like he doesn’t give a toss.

I’d give it to Byers since he actually looked arsed when he was on the pitch yesterday, and keep Connor Hall as vice.

Lets have some marks for yesterday lets see whos still playing for DM and who isnt .

Yep, he is clearly lost the dressing room and the players have definitely downed tools. Usually when that happens it only goes one way.
