This is going to sound daft, but our biggest threat and also weakness is George Hall. 

He is a massive threat, but has zero end product at the minute.

Cloughie there 5 years, Brady not 5 weeks yet 

In the October of our playoff promotion season Mansfield were 23rd in League 2, with many fans calling for the manager's head. 

Basically we have employed a manager with a similar win ratio to what Moore had with us and we sacked him. 
He’s come in. Got us two cup wins. Just like Moore. Then got us drubbed in the league. Just like Moore. After a good start and missed chances. Just like Moore. And then we capitulate. Just like Moore.
Nothing changes. 
Heads at the top won’t roll. 
Carols money is great. Oh how we all love that. Sadly she can’t run a football club on a day to day basis and whilst I think she knows that, she has employed people to run it who are pathetically out of their depth. 
And there lies the problem. 
 
Also, Brady after the game. Go over and clap the fans absolutely. Don’t go and have conversations with the fans. That’s desperation and way too much emotion after one league game. 
Reminds me of those days under Bratt and co. 
 
We are in a mess. A huge mess. This is totally different from two years ago when we went down. This is a mess that won’t be put right in a few months.
 

Wow it’s his first league game with not his players , what a stupid knee jerk reaction at least let him have a few more games before slating the bloke

We are in a mess but it’s not Brady’s doing

One thing I agree with is that this mess is on Carol and the hierarchy
Lessons not being learned and the same mistakes keep being made

I would have had Darren Ferguson.

I aren’t arsed about all this waffle and coaching crap. Brady is well in on data. He’s sold himself and will continue to do it until the brainwashed realise we aren’t winning enough football matches. 
 

Put Brady and Ferguson in a room. Look at their win ratios in their career. Look at what they have won. It’s not even an argument.

Carol is a sucker for data.

I promise you now, watch this go south and very fast. 
Come March you will want Brady out. The majority will.

What the <ovf censored> is having a conversation with fans for?!!!!

Unprofessional. Way too emotive.

The clubs in a mess.

Fergusons win ratio 42.20 %

Brady win ratio 41.00 %

Not much in it

Cole was excellent first half and done nothing in the second. We may as well sub him after 60 minutes if he’s played well in the first half, he never does it for a full match. 

Could try playing him down the <ovf censored> middle for a start 

Can anyone say what Brown did on Tuesday to merit a place at all today, never mind a starting place ahead of Stockley or even ahead of Paton for that matter?

On top of his lack of contribution, did he win a single header from our goalkicks?

He's the last type of player we can afford to carry when we desperately need to win some games. 

The best thing Brady can do, is smoke out the players who simply aren't good enough to where the shirt. Which shouldn't take to long if he's done his homework before taking on the position. Time for a rebuild thanks to none other than the clown previously in charge who for some insane reason was hired on a 5 year term. Incompetence from top to bottom. Circus music ensues.

Some of the criticisms at some players is a little knee jerk, for me. I know past performances from players will colour some views but the players need to given the same clean slate as JB or none of this is going to work. If Brown takes his chance we all applaud him, if Cole’s shot goes in instead of the post, or Hall’s cutbacks finds a player then it’s different conversations we are having.

We need to move some players on and bring some in, hope that happens quickly if we’re to give staying up a go. I haven’t looked at the league table though - I darent at this point. But I do want to support the players, rather than judge them on the whole season under Moore. They need to let all of the past go and carry on fighting even when we are behind. It seemed only Hall and Waine had the heart to do that today. 

As they say, if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. Ifs meaning nothing. Brown didn’t take his chance because he’s <ovf censored>, which we all know.

A half decent striker buries that.

Oh come on Moose, that 1.2% is more than enough for Spunk to take the moral 'sack the manager' and patronising 'working class' high ground. 

I was devastated after today. The misses got me head together and said what away game are we going too next then, bless her. I was like do we have to, she was like of course we have to you txxt. 

The club needs us. 

UTV 💪 KTF 🙏 through thick and thin 👍

Yeah his end product is diabolical unfortunately

Totally agree. You’d have to be an absolute moron to play your only goalscorer/poacher out wide when you have the worst goals for in the division……….🤔

I don’t know about anyone else, but ironic and funny to slate Carol and Matt being suckers for data while going on about win ratios. 
 

I’m also pretty sure, if we had Ferguson which I would have supported, his time would come too when he wouldn’t be wanted any longer. There’s a reason he’s managed Posh 4 times. 
 

Got to give a manager longer than 3 games, it’s not like Brady is Wilfred Nancy, talking about how he understands the Potteries and confusing a Staffs Oatcake with a Scottish one. 
 

I’m sure things at the highest level at Vale are not all that impressive but that’s nothing to bash JB with.

He’s never a winger in a million years. 

I’d play him as a 10.

He's been in charge for 1 league game

Away to a team who have won 4 on the trot

I was optimistic of a point at best

Bratt and co? What are you talking about?

Havent seen game went a nice walk with daughter and  her dogs ,by time back 2 down so couldnt be bothered watch the rest .

Embarassing really 1111 people go and thats the best they can do, lose 3 -0 too a team Vale destroyed at Wembley, we even beat them easily with a Crosby team 1 -0 should have been 5 with Uche up front ...

Crikey what have we become .

As soon as saw no more Johnson ,and when Byers hobbled off knew it was going be a long afternoon ,

466 passes 1 clear cut chance crikey what a crock of <ovf censored>
