Re: MATCHWATCH : Mansfield Town (a)

This is absolutely desperate stuff.

A very poor game in which we are the weaker team.

Re: Magic Number Thread 25/26

Brogue but we wont need 73 points to avoid relegation :|


How many points do we need for you to not want to get rid of the manager?

That's the real 'magic' number.

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

Some of what we're feeling right now is just a natural reaction to what's happened in the past 18 months. The constant stress and drama of Dai, combined with an unlikely play off hunt and genuinely enjoyable games has given way to the mundane. Sensible owner, sensible manager, sensible recruitment. ...

Re: Richardson out

Reading all the Thomas Frank stuff got me thinking (dangerous, I know): The standard response for fans is to blame any poor run of results on the manager. To say that someone else would get the team playing better and improve results. But - as fans are we saying that the 'average' manager would do b...

Re: How best to approach the rest of the season

I feel like with the transfer window we've had we've spent quite a lot of money on extra wages signing on fees and transfer fees such as agent fees. And we're in all likelihood not going to be promoted. Feel it may have been better to hold the money back and target a better squad assembled well bef...

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

The club exists. Everyone is getting paid. We're not under any transfer embargo. We have a competitive squad and still have promotion hopes in January. Honestly Brogue - if you don't accept that as a reasonable situation to be in after the last few years then I just don't know what to say to you. Th...

Re: What can be changed?

I was at the game yesterday and it was bad, very bad. But, presumably the entire point of bringing Richardson in was about giving someone enough time to build for next season. If all we care about is maintaining our mid-table position then we might as well have just kept Hunt. What we're seeing now ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

Has it occurred to anyone that it's the quality of the players and the fact we are building a new team every season that's the issue?

The manager might be a secondary issue.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

This is very much a process and tonight will help with the confidence. I have to say that I do enjoy reading the same old comments again and again over the years. It doesn't seem to matter how much football you've watched, or how many times you've seen the same scenario play out - fans always assume...

Re: MATCHWATCH : AFC Wimbledon (h)

Honestly - it's the sort of performance I'm expecting right now. Fans massively underestimate the impact of wholesale squad changes. Replacing one player with a similar quality doesn't mean that you have the same strength team. We're going to stumble through this month and next before picking up in...

Re: BFTG - Huddersfield

I have no issue with fans moaning and playing armchair manager/owner. That's what football is all about.

But can we just for once break the cycle where 4-5 poor results leads to the majority on here calling for a manager to go?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (a)

Was fully expecting to lose today - but ended up feeling a bit hard done by.

Surely our aim is to scrape enough points together to not be too far back by November. I can't see us possibly doing any better with a brand new team before then.

Re: The idiots of Twitter thread

It seems pretty simple to me: The only way that Couhig makes money from RFC is if we get promoted. So his interests and the fans align pretty closely right now. Obviously, one of the core rights/duty of a football fan is to complain about the owner and their choices, that's all fair game. But I don'...
