Penalty to Mansfield. Mills foul and scored.

1-0   :-/

Stupid challenge by Mills

If we go behind, we don't win. We haven't done comebacks for years and we are now under severe pressure, brought on by poor decision making.

Sat direct in line. No contact. A dive

Looked like a case of "contact in the box" as they say, ah the modern game I suppose.

We've just got nothing go on in the box. We've probably just about been the better side making better chances at least but Hooper isn't good enough and Vernon either involved in creating the chance or just isn't in the box

Quoted from Hagrid

Sat direct in line. No contact. A dive

No doubt encouraged by Evans. They have already had a few penalties this season.

We sound  hopeless at the moment,, all these players and still we have nothing to offer

Blatant dive, get him banned!

Poor half not really creating anything  

Looked a foul to me but will wait for the slowmo later. Ball really not dropping for us at the moment and we are sat far too deep, no one putting in challenges around the half way line (although their keeper does punt it long). Dembele almost unstoppable with the ball at his feet, Osbourne looks good, all the others  meh!  :-/

Two sides yet to really gel so nothing between them in the first half to be honest.............,apart from the ref that is who knows the rules but nothing about the game.

Every week Dembele plays well with his skills  . but there is no end product, he needs to vary his game and look up more

Oh well another lost

2-0 game over   :o

Sh1t defensive effort for their goal

What  a shambles.. Slade on the slide  and still sliding down. Goodbye league  football ,,

Nothing up front still. We get the ball up to them time and time again and nothing. Mansfield have had 2 real chances and put both away what can you say.

One decent chance the other was a penalty

Enough's enough now. Gone backwards rapidly under Slade he needs to go sooner rather than later before we are properly in a relegation battle.

Pathetic statement, there is a long, long way to go yet!

Ok mate thanks for that. We are getting worse not better, if I could see sparks of improvement then I wouldn't have made the statement. Can't defend, can't score, don't look like scoring and terrible decision making and discipline.

Loads of money spent no improvement.

Slade out. Its not good enough. Recruitment not good enough.

Justin Edinburgh Anyone ?

We will not be in a relagation fight  ,, We are in one .  one we will loose with this shower

If you are struggling for form, play Grimsby and we will roll over and let you take the points easily.

Another tough game Tuesday and it could quite easily be 5 defeats from 7. Not worried yet but getting a bit twitchy.

Sorry, didn't realise you had access to Grimsby Town's bank statements!  My point is that every time we lose, you 'doom and gloom' merchants jumps on here and demand the manager to be sacked.  We are only 6 games into the season, what happens if we sack Slade, then the next manager does no better after 6 matches, do we sack him then?  It's far too early to be getting rid of the manager, sure we aren't doing well at the moment but we have a lot of time to start getting some more points together.

Wow im worried, how will the club react, I can't see him being sacked still, they'll leave it till we're in deep excrement. Last season yeh we seemed to collapse when the game wasnt going our way, but this season we just sound poor and lacking in quality from start to finish

It's not the fact we're losing games. It's the manner of the defeats. No goal threat in the games against Coventry, Stevenage and now Mansfield. Nobody on the pitch who is looking to take the game by the scruff of the neck and most worrying is what seems like an acceptance of defeat along with a complete lack of fight. We've seen what relegations losers look like and this squad has that look all over them.

Scoring goals for fun pre-season..

but

As was predicted, where are the goals going to come from.

We should have used some of the Bogle money to sign a proven goalscorer at this level.

No, we shouldn't get rid of Slade, but should we have appointed him in the first place? 3 managers in one season last year (4 if you count Moore) and already the new one is under pressure. Turnover of players and managers is very worrying, with no apparent improvement.

What happens if we sack Slade? We get some Hope.  Like I've said previously, worst collective group of players since relegation to the conference.

I hate it when we sack managers I was happy when we had continuity with Hurst and would love nothing more than as to have this again but this is utter rubbish at the minute. I have seen absolutely no improvement under Slade at all we are going backwards. He has got no ideas he will say that the players aren't doing the simple things properly, well that's his fault surely as he should be coaching that out of them on the training pitch. We can't even say we are solid but not scoring we have nothing we are a poor, poor side.

No I haven't got access to the accounts but just look at the size of the squad we have now and we have been signing players from higher divisions who will be on higher wages than those from lower divisions and the backroom staff has got larger and I don't think they do it for free so put all those things together and it suggests that we have spent a fair amount of money.

Always enjoyed it in non league anyways

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Always enjoyed it in non league anyways

at least we could win a few games down there,,

Slade seems to be on a downward spiral. A scary squad but will be patient as ever. Got to give Slade till xmas , would already be delighted to stay up, we are shite

Yet another dreadful Fenty appointment.

Reminds me of AB3.

Both Slade and Wilkinson are on downward spirals career wise.

Slade should never have been reappointed but he's a mate of Fenty's and he's just gone out and brought him in with what appears little, if any, discussion with any other board members.

Yay one last grasp a penno

Knowing Fenty..... if RS does eventually get the sack he'll give Neil Woods another crack at it..... ??)

I'd give Slade until the end of the month.

While under fenty we will always be in this mess . Look at his record . Only ph made it work under him and that was because he took no crap and knew how to play in non league . We are doomed as a club of we go down again .

And a goal to give the happy clappers something to grasp on to

And some said Bignot didn't know what he was doing. Bet he's p1ssing himself laughing.

It is doom and gloom.
We are in a relegation fight mate.
The team/squad are going backwards under Slade.

Fifth league defeat of the season - so prepare for the post match with Slade saying we need to learn lessons quickly followed by A.N Other Town player in the Telegraph on Monday issuing a rallying cry and saying it's good to be playing again on the Tuesday to put things right. FFS!

UTM!

Absolute shambles ..

Slade's dinosaur tactics have seen him sacked for fun the past few years and time for John fenty to sack him again and for John fenty to seriously explain to us what he was thinking .

Was there any point bringing in a Science coach in ? Hasn't changed nothing apart from getting red cards and losing more

Feel sorry for the Town travelling fans myself.

Although i don't disagree with the sentiment, he hasn't had 6 matches has he? He had enough to assess the squad at the end of last season and decided to rip it apart, bring in new faces (yet again) and here we are, looking no better. The only saving grace so far is that we have time to sort it, but if you get in a a rut as a team, you can find yourself cast adrift and playing catch up, which brings it's own pressure.

As i've said, not overly worried yet but the pressure rises with every defeat and i imagine we will not get much change from Accrington. The fact that we have lost heavily to Mansfield, who we normally beat, and are not expected to get owt from Stanley, says it all really.

Wrong, we won 2 lost four.

Remember Exeter's poor start to last season?

We can sort the problems out now and get back to winning ways

UTFM!

Pointless sacking him now. We'll only get another massive squad churn again in January if we do, unless someone is prepared to come in and work with what we've got. Look where being trigger happy with managers got us last time.

Have a nice sunday packing mr slade,, and take all your signings with you . your unfinished work here is beginning to show through

So that's six defeats in last seven. That's got to be our worst sequence in a long time, even Neil Woods would throw in a draw or two now and again for variety!

They had 4 shots on target and we let them all in. I like Macca but time to give Killip a go surely?

Quoted from Mikoo

Quoted from Mikoo

Macca conceded 2 pennos he went the right way for best a keeper can do really. He conceded one after he made a fantastic save for but no one cleared and they scored on the rebound, only one I could complain about with the 2nd from the corner middle of 6 yard box he should be at least punching that clear if not catching it

We went 22 games and a relegation under Woods without a win and still people on here was saying to give him another season , Id say six more games then hit the eject button fro Slade

Quoted from grimps

I'd give him to the Lincoln game at most, if we lose to the Gimps he's gone

Acc and Yeovil in the next games, need 6 pts from them if not then Slade will be seeing the door

Quoted from 123614

According to JT & AB he was Town Mom

Quoted from chaos33

Exactly what it says on the tin marked  Slade.

If it continues like this it would be criminal to let it go as far as Lincoln. I'd honestly say 4 points or less would be enough to let him go from the next 3 fixtures.

Buckley was saying what we were saying. Players are showing for the ball, but we still hit it long over their heads. He's as baffled as i am at what is clearly instructions from the manager.

Slade will still be manager for quite a while yet.

Quoted from hheh2

Acc and Yeovil in the next games, need 6 pts from them if not then Slade will be seeing the door

Cant see Fenty pulling the trigger till home fans attendances fall to three to three and a half thousand, thats what will worry him most. unless of course we get thumped by Lincoln, the embarrassment might be too much to take.

Quoted from ginnywings

Buckley was saying what we were saying. Players are showing for the ball, but we still hit it long over their heads. He's as baffled as i am at what is clearly instructions from the manager.

Its not the player who hits the hoofball that is wrong,

Its the other players for not being in the right position.

Then again by the sound of things we do not have the players that can read a game,

For all the experience in our defence they are very poor,

No proven striker in the squad and a midfield that is bypassed most of the time,

Too early to call for Slade to go,

BUT

Russell you must do better this is not good enough,

I wish somebody anybody would come in and buy the club so Fenty can feck off.

Those accusing the negative types of appearing from nowhere and jumping onto a defeat with negagtive posts should take a look at the GET's report and the live feed summary. Perfectly described from someone there to see this latest debacle..

Town were gutless at times and lacks any real fight or quality. Poor passing and final balls meant they didn’t look threatening going forward. Mirfin and Pearce had the Town forwards in their pocket until late on. Town conceded two cheap penalties after dangling legs into challenges that gave the referee a decision to make. Poor marking saw two other goals scored by unmarked players.

Town were poor from start to finish.

Never mind this stuff about we're only X amount of games in, this was another unforgiveably sh*t performance.

Yep we were excrement.

Whilst he might have done well here back in the day it's becoming more and more obvious that Slade is a dinosaur of a football manager and is clearly on a sharp decline. He's rapidly slipping on to the ever increasing list of John Fentys poor decisions.

Thing that worries me is that Mansfield did not look like world beaters but we where so easy to beat. The decision making in the final 3rd is shocking.

Fenty is on about 7-1 in excrement manager choices

I think the bookies have it right too many substandard players, quantity rather than quality,  not looking good.

Need to pick his best team and stick with it (Whats his best team God knows}

I predicted a relegation scrap during pre season when it become obvious we wasn't going to compete for signings, but to instead wait until the end start of season and pick up the dregs of the football league barrel. We would of been better off targeting the conference and picking up promising players with a hunger for league football and not the has been's on the way out.

Sounded like quite a lot of booing at the end. :o

Think it's already a relegation fight between us, Cheltenham, Crawley and Chesterfield.

Ten years of.....
"I wish we still had Slade"
"Bring Slade back"
"We wouldn't have been relegated with Slade in charge"
"Fentys fault that Slade never stayed"
" Sack Hurst and bring Slade back"
"If only Slade hadn't left"
....Now we all want rid of him after less than six months
;D

Another in a long line of Fenty intercourse ups. Admit it John, running a football club is not what you are good at.

Quoted from Mikoo

We could have played both of them and it wouldn't have made any difference. Saved at least one goal today.

Just realised what the meaning of  u s  is---utter shite.  For us to apparently play so well last week Crewe must be absolute garbage.  One good game isn't satisfactory. It'sall right calling the disillusioned moaners but they are realists , I fear we are heading for deep trouble unless something is done pretty quick. We have nobody at the helm. iF WE DON'T HAVE A BETTER LEADER WE ARE GOING TO SINK

Before we get ourselves in a frenzy of despondency, its worth pointing out that we have played 5 of the top 10 form teams (not necessarily the best teams, but definitely the form teams). The one team we played who is in the bottom 14 we beat.

Unfortunately, the next team we play are second, so don't hold your breath for anything other than a defeat. I hope I am wrong. We then play Newport who are top half-Paddy Amond is bound to score the winner!

Part of the reason they are in the top ten though is because they have played us!  I don't think we have had that hard a start and we have had more home than away.  I don't think there is any prospect of us not having one eye over our shoulders even if we aren't in the bottom two at the moment.
