s n h - got this horrible feeling...

Quoted from Alfie

They won't see out September.

I think the same..

Lets be honest it is all about progression and truthfully has there been any?

Absolutely none.
You could argue we took baby steps last season but there is no doubt in my mind that we've only weakened this season.

I was their biggest advocate when they initially came but it appears they wouldn't spot a good player if he slapped them in the face (Coulson, for one).
They came promising organisation, hunger and a strong "up in your face" mentality. I just see a weak minded, timid team with no direction other than to kick the ball hard and high.

Spot on..

I honestly can't see anything that they have improved since they took over..

They bought Liam hearn and that is the only plus they get from me.

We will see in the next few games, although the tea leaves don`t look good

Quoted from BlackBoots

I agree with the opening poster. Badly want them to succeed but cannot see enough signs of progress.

I dont think for one moment that AB will take over and i honestly dont know who we should go for. We have tried experienced, previously succesful, promoting from within and young and up 'n' coming with no change in results.

Need someone with experience but still hungry enough to need to success, who has also achieved promotion, preferably from this division

Great post and sums up exactly were my thoughts are.  I want these managers to succeed and I want the players to believe in their own abilities and show it.

the thing is that they've done the right things - they've brought in successful, bsp premier players - hatton,thomas, soares, cook, miller and have others like elding and pearson who know what this division is all about.players like wood,pearson and hearn all have a season's bsp experience under their belts they're fitter, younger and hungrier (there's no lack of effort) than woods' no- hopers. all the ingredients are there but they're just  not getting the recipe right

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Lee peacock on twitter says they have the worst man management skills he has  ever seen in 20 years in football..

It's not surprising he's bitter since they were the ones who released him - which was the right decision given that, even for all his effort, he was hopelessly ineffective during his final season with Town.

We are missing two very influential players in Miller and Liam  but I don't see the midfield sorted, certainly not the middle.  We do though I agree have the makings of a side that is more than capable of getting into the play off's.

i haven't seen them this season so can't comment , but there's a case in point - niven looks like exactly the sort of player we've needed for about 10 seasons yet he now appears to have been dropped after being underwhelming

We do have some decent players on the books now for sure, but for some reason they do not seem organised as a team and I`m afraid for this the buck has to stop at the manager`s door, I`m wondering if the money will be made available for a wide left player and a midfield playmaker in the present situation or whether it will be held back for a new manager should that be the case.
Just like to add that I hope they can turn it around soon
