The Saudi window closes on the 10th September btw…

Obviously they miss the days of not getting paid their wages.

This is pretty much exactly what I was talking about in reply to Mags. It's pretty obviously a 'joke', but it just feeds the toxicity.

I expect what Brogue is saying is right....he's got until the next international break in my opinion.

The argument that there have been a lot of squad changes doesn't wash..... I went to the Bolton game who have had a similar turnover of staff and watched a fully coherent side against a side of just about no hopers saved by a lucky deflected goal and poor finishing. Its pretty standard for league one sides to have multiple squad changes every season too.

Our tactics are woeful...who does the scouting on the opposition as it looks clear from what I've seen there is none....sides are so quick to work us out. Holloway had sussed out that a ball between Abrefa and Sticks would cause problems.

We desperately need a senior coach - sentiment promotions like Legs from the youth sides is a mistake.

I think we're at a solid 8/10 on the 'bed wetting scale' at the moment.

Explains why Mamadi Camara was missing against Swindon.

The more I look at the club over this summer the more I think of the Barclays adverts where all the 7 year olds are dressed like adults.

Agree the tactics are the biggest problem.

Hunt got the job on the basis of the takeover not having happened yet and providing an element of continuity for the younger players we were having to use. He continued the momentum we had under Selles last season, but it could well be similar to when Mark McGhee left the club: once a couple of the key players have left, the quality of the overall squad declined; we focused too much on older players and the management wasn't as good.

Certainly should be given until the next international break (at least), but there would need to be clear improvements in performances - not just results.

Looking ahead we have next up a tricky game away at Barnsley then follow 3 home games on the trot,
Leyton Orient
Stockport
Mansfield

As we know in this division squads change a lot every season but just based on last season's results for these fixtures we lost 2 and for the other we won 2-1.
So, by 4th October we will have a better idea of how we are shaping up and if the results are the same as last season I suspect that we might well be looking for a new manager.
September 2025, a big month for the club and for the manager.

Correction made as I thought we were at home to Stockport, a game that we also lost.

Stockport appear to be the same highly fancied thoroughly decent and very difficult side they were last year. Mansfield have started this season like they did last season so are also going to be thoroughly difficult opponents. Leyton Orient seem to be struggling and certainly aren't the same outfit that finished last season but then they also had a nightmare start to last season and lost all of their first 4 games in the league - until they rocked up at the SCL in mid September 2024 that is

One of the most costly howlers ever in the grand scheme of things. Where Leyton Orient finished three points ahead of us and reached the play offs, and a young man’s career squirmed through his fingers.

I think we're at a solid 8/10 on the 'bed wetting scale' at the moment.

I'd say the bed is fully submerged atm.

Embarrassing.

Where’s this bed wetting? All I see is people saying he won’t have too long left if things don’t improve with the odd bit of nonsense thrown in from Brogue

Should we all just say he’s doing great when he quite clearly isn’t?

Even MoM on insta said things haven’t gone like the team had hoped

The existance of a Hunt out thread here. Booing of youth players in a meaningless game. People writing off our transfer window as a failure and bad, three days after it closed.

[leon]

I’m tending to agree with Ian, however you wouldn’t ever get me posting that on here.

[Brogue]

He’s got to go.

And lol at calling the Swindon game meaningless. It’s an extra revenue stream and a game against a bitter rival, no matter what the competition.

Our fans are just plain weird.

We’re talking about on here right? Yes there is muppets on Twitter and at games, everyone on here said the booing of youth players was idiotic

The Hunt Out thread first post wasn’t a demand for him to go, just an opening discussion on how long he has. Which is fine, that’s a discussion point. And possibly discussion that JJ has had also

The thread and its existence is a product of the reality we are in. There are those who believe that changing a manager will achieve some sort of positive impact on results. This would only happen if the manager has lost the dressing room and the players are either bickering with each other or not putting any real effort in. In the case of players not putting the effort in, that is when you may question the fit for the shirt.
I have been through this a few times. It took a lot for us to sack Tommy Burns. At the time, results and performances were very poor and the fans were actively chanting for his head. There had been significant investment in his players, and this caused a schism in the dressing room. There had been old guard and the new, split on their loyalties with each blaming the others for their plight.
Noel has a good few of his “good lads’ in the camp now. There is a risk that if results do not pick up, that the dressing room could be as divided as the fan base. This is actually exacerbated by fan reactions, booing and chanting designed to show contempt for the team and its performances. No good can come of it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the validity of Noel’s tactics and even his strategy. But the real problem is likely to be his philosophy. He seems to be dogmatically stuck to one single philosophy. With this entrenched mindset, managers will keep swapping players about in a system, believing that the ingredients are wrong and not the recipe. We have a frankly astonishing number of what are termed ‘inverted wingers’ on the books. When he lined us up with Lane on the right and Kyerewaa on the left against Port Vale, I really began to fear for him. No width, everything channeled into the middle, exactly where Port vale expect it and want it. Managers who can’t or won’t adapt due to an unshakable adherence to a single philosophy will die on that hill.
If we are still in the shit in November, then there is a chance that the axe could fall. Doing it now, or in the near future will be a very risky thing to do by Redwood. Without the ability to give a new manager the funds to make his own changes to the squad, the outcome would be more than likely negative. They will out of necessity give him as much time as they can. Because the recruitment not only falls on Noel’s shoulders, but on Joe’s as well.
If you had asked me back in the day which one of our players would make it as a manager. I would have gone, Jobi, Bryn, Ivar and Murts. Noel and his brother would not have entered my head. But, at this moment I do not want to see him sacked. It is in the clubs best interest that he succeeds. Because failure will set us back years. This time we don’t have Pards, fitting windows while he waits for his chance to sweep everything away and rebuild a squad.
If Noel can change his philosophy, the strategy and tactics can and will change.
