Russ post match...

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Or a coach/assistant manager from the EFL

A better bet I reckon, a young and hungry assistant from higher up waiting for his chance out of the shadows. Already would be able to measure the playing standards a club like ours should be aspiring to..

I don't think we should be scared to go below the national league to get a new manager, everyone at every level is pretty much a gamble.

Slade is like a death of a thousand cuts, slow and agonising. Frankly I'm just waiting it out until it's over, hopefully it's sooner rather than later, but I think it will take crowd levels to dwindle further to force fenty to sack his mate. Maybe a gate in the 2k level for a league game will set the alarm bells ringing.

Quoted from ginnywings

Agreed, but we keep picking the wrong one time and again. Who on our board has any footballing knowledge to speak of?

I thought the board were just hoping for footballing fortune.... footballing knowledge is something they're not looking for at this time as far as I can tell

Quoted from moosey_club

oh and the other little nugget when asked for positives to take...

"i thought Summers was again steady"

sorry....saying you thought the naturally more attacking of the centre mid duo having "a steady" game is a positive is shameful.

Credit to Luke Summerfield, at least he's having a go.

But let's be honest about it. There isn't going to be a queue of clubs from the top half of this league knocking on our door in the January transfer window for him to be their lynchpin in a promotion push.

If he's our star performer, it shows how far our standards have dropped under Slade..

Quoted from ginnywings

What's the point of a new manager? The board get it wrong 90% of the time anyway and we are stuck with godawful players in the main. It will just be different manager, same shite.

May as well put the names of all the managers we could realistically hope to attract into a hat and let a random fan pick one out. The chances of success would be about the same.

The Board get it wrong?  Are you suggesting that the board, including the highly influential trust member got it wrong.....again?  Or is it the case that the person who in the words of his brother 'keeps putting his head above the parapet', or in my words, displays less football knowledge than can be written on a rizla paper, in 40p pt font, has got it wrong YET AGAIN.

Fenty, you're killing our club, stick to recruiting £5 an hour fish processors because recruiting successful football managers is way beyond you.  You are an utter joke.

Look Russ, Your PLAN A is not working, and when we go behind you have no PLAN B that works either.

Two up front today, two goals down and you make a substitution, push Jones wide and leave one up front. I would suggest that this is not the way to score goals!

We've got a squad absolutely stuffed with average to below average players. The decent few we have were signed by someone else, bar Dembele.
We don't play any football. We don't create chances. We really don't bother with attacking at all that much and we rarely score a goal. The manager selects the same starting eleven, week after week, snubbing his own signings, that everyone can see are so below par that he dare not pick them, and he has one way of playing, and that's it. He knows his stuff does Slade but he's making a f***ing state of it and the fans will be turning in large numbers. There is absolutely no buzz, or ambition or excitement, or togetherness about the club.

We have a squad of has been journeyman who have not allegiance to G.T.F.C. for many of them it will be their last league club.
Some must have felt it was Christmas when they were offered contracts,

The standard of player Slade has attracted this time is way way down on the standard last time. Is there a reason for this? Is it down to budget or the way the game has gone?

All of the above plus a budget set by someone who doesn't understand the meaning of the word benign.
