Familiarity can breed contempt. It's one thing meeting up with a lady for a couple of evenings a week ... and on Saturday afternoons; quite another being with her every day! Maybe the style which worked for them in part-time football doesn't work in the full-time context? As for the lack of assertive players, it strikes me that alpha-male characters like Scott don't usually like players who challenge them. Possibly the problem with Lee Peacock, who didn't give the impression of being a yes-man? Effectively S&H have aleady had 3 bites of the cherry [well 2 and a bit] because they had a go with Woods's lot, then their own players last season, now this years reincarnation. Same result. If they are sacked we then have the scenario where another manager will come in and say ;'This is not my team. Judge me next season.' And so it goes on!

Quoted from Codzilla
It's a shame as I really did think these would come and sort us out. I don't think anyone would be able to get us back into the league and stop our decline. So many different managers and players and nothing ever changes (apart from Slade)


yes I agree perhaps if big John had brought in Slade things might have been different myself  I would have excepted the long ball games just to get out of this cesspit of a league with its doggy officials.utm.

A bit contradictory imo.

If Buckley couldnt be classed as experienced then nobody will ever fall into that catorgory!!!



Doh, I said with the exception of Buckley and Newell, come on keep up.

Quoted from kingster72
Disley was the problem in midfield last season and should be dropped!  We only did well last year with Manny Panther doing the simple things.  Niven is a great addition and pair him with Thanoj, should be far more effective.  Disley should NOT be skipper, or starting, brings nothing to the table for me, just a very lacklusture & inconsistant type, worse than Boshell & Jamie Clarke.



Well done most stupid quote of the century

that we may be at the beginning of the end with them.
i was (am still trying to be ) one of their biggest supporters but i am just starting to get this sinking feeling that they have not been able to make the step up to become successful bsp managers. i hate to say it but i'd probably put a couple of quid on them not being here by the end of the season. i really hope i'm wrong but 3 points every 2 games is their record and that's abysmal compared to what they've achieved before


It won't break my heart if these two get the chop, but I think I'd prefer them to have a bit more of a chance.  I could try and rationalise it with arguments and comparisons but I'm not going to - it's just my gut feeling that they probably need more time.

i'm sure they will get it ;it's just on this present form and with the upcoming fixtures people are getting twitchy because it's easy to foresee us being amongst the relegation fodder come october.
and personally ,with disappointing performance after disappointing performance, i'm less and less convinced that they are quite up to the job

Quoted from AndyGTFC
Personally, I think they can spot a player. Most of their signings have been highly rated when we've signed them and most of them have done well in this league before. I think it might be actually managing these players and getting the best out of them is the problem.

I like Rob Scott's passion and obviously I'm not in the dressing room so I don't know exactly what he is like but I think the days are gone where you can shout and bawl all the time and get players on your side.

Nevertheless, they deserve a bit more time than three games to get it right.


FFS, this line again... Do you think they was only appointed at the start of the season? They've had more than 3 games, they've had 3 squads to work with, 2 of which was mostly their own signings and nothing has changed from day one...

We still don't communicate well enough
We are still scared to play at home
The players performances continue to find new depths of woefulness
We still have a poor midfield
We still have no real creativity

The above are comments the manager's have used when they arrived and also recently, so what have they done in their MORE than 3 games...??? Even more worrying, the managers still cannot say why the above things are happening, hnce no sign of things changing any time soon...

Maybe its because other teams are better than us.
I genuinely think that if we appointed Sir Alex and all of the Man U squad, someone at BP would find a way to fook it up so we finished just outside the playoffs.

Very interesting hypothesis and one I'd not even considered before. I know a couple of players who played under them at Boston and they both told me how great they were etc. But is this because if Scott lost his temper they didn't have to see him for a couple of days and by then he'd have calmed down and it would have been forgotten about.? Whereas if they see him every day, the bad feeling grows over time? I certainly get the impression that if you had to see Scott every day, you'd soon get sick of him...


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.
