if woods had been left in charge we would have flirted with relegation this season il give you a quote from a player at the club (whos no longer withus) "hes a really good guy who knows his stuff but just cannot command the respect of the players"
What a stupid statement.

Me too... The one that finishes higher in the league... Now which one was that?
Can we just maintain a semblence of commom sense and remember that Woods was sacked mid-season - he never finished a season in this division.

Finished higher in a weaker league. We have a lot more points this year than we did last year and have scored a lot more goals.
The fact is we failed yet again

Quoted from 1600
See what you mean and I'm not ignoring it, just use a different set of benchmarks to measure progress. Not sure if we were in such a great place when Woods got the bullet. Personally I think we've got problems but most of them are off the field and don't read much into whether we finish 7th or 11th after the playoffs are over. I found yesterday a bit disappointing because we always seem to perform poorly when we stick on an offer - maybe the players are gonna be flat but I'd have thought we'd have treated it like a cup final and avoided all this.
Sorry, wasn't specifically pointing to you... But yeah I agree, things wasn't great when Woods was sacked... We deffo needed to improve but my point is, most of the people on here was shouting for Woods to be sacked but now they are saying the sun shines out of these two's arses, when arguably, they have taken us to a worse place than Woods did... I know there was are other factors, like the financial package is less this season etc but it is still good enough to be doing better than we are... Dapperz, i'm not sure I would read too much into players quotes - you also quoted a player as saying something like, these two will bring success etc... Well there isn't much sign of that yet is there? not even any progress, well not in my eyes anyway... We still have a team, that, despite one good run is very inconsistant from game to game, a poor midfield, a lack of creativity, a lack of belief, a lack of ideas and a management team that, no longer just stands on the touchline with his arms folded but instead jumps around shouting at everybody acting like a complete twit, embarassing the club and probably costing us fines, oh and yeah, it still gets us nowhere.... Rob Scott would have us believe it's passion and some fans have been sucked into that, I would call it a lack of self control...

Mid season? really?

imo we would have struggled big time with woods in charge and the reason is he didnt lose his players/team he never actually had them in the first place

Unless that season finished in February?
If you want a real comparison, then at the same point we were 6th this season.
What does that prove? intercourse all, either way.

Yes that is true. However, there is a basis of a decent team to build on. Our defence and goalkeeper are fairly strong. We have one or two half decent midfielders and a couple of good strikers who can get us goals. Certainly much better than the position we were in this time last year.

i still believe these 2 will bring success and progress as been made i dont think you realise what a farce the club was,of course i want it quick like everybody but a decade of sh1te (bar 1 yr)isnt goint to change over night and as much as it pains me mike newell (spit) was right about one thing the club had a deep rooted negative vibe running right through it
