Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner


I don't think anyone hates MB. I think a lot of people, myself included were disgusted with the way he handled the clubs senior pros, silly formations, getting rid of all the wingers..... I could continue.
MB's problem is that he tried to run before walking and that cost us a play-off place. Simple as that.



MB was brought in on a brief that meant keeping League status this season, ie getting to 50 points. He did this so he achieved the first objective that he was given. He then started to put together the beginnings of a side that would challenge for promotion next season and to be fair he did bring in two or three players who could be instrumental in achieving that. His biggest mistake was ( certainly in the fans eyes ) was using the rest of the season to try experimental formations and utilising players in different roles for league games. This obviously upset some fans who could see a play-off place was within reach. Unfortunately he was sacked before he could implement his plans for next season so we will never know what other personnel he would have brought in and how the line-up would look. It is interesting to note that Wilko said in the GET that we are aiming for a play-off place next season! That to me is not good enough. We should be aiming for 50 points asap and a top three final position. It's almost as if he's saying we might get there next season but it might take longer so don't be too disappointed if it does take longer - which , to me, is a very negative approach.

Have you never seen that game then? The defender grabbed his shirt. How do you win a penalty like that? Telekinesis? It's not like Josh ran in front of him and got tripped - he wasn't a cheat like that.


You obviously wasn't in the pontoon against Lincoln when he punched away a goalboand shot at full stretch and got away with it then?

Yet when PH said he wanted a play-off place every season he was here, on here he was decried as not aiming high enough!

Unless he can get shot of some of last seasons let downs and sign his own players i have no problem with the playoffs being the target.
With some of the dross we have in the squad that was put on 2 year contracts it will take time to clear the decks.
