We are stuck in a rut. The past two appointments have openly been on six month rolling contracts but apparently the salary of the bald man in a cap is irrelevant. Either he is on a week to week contract that we do not wish to disclose or as we all now suspect, he is on at least a 3 year contract.

The only way this club can progress is to build a team that consists largely of saleable assets. Exeter do this well and Scunthorpe established themselves in League One/Championship doing just that. Ultimately we need more players like Osborne, Jones, Dembele and DJ opposed to people like Matt, Clarke and Woolford.

Every team needs a little bit of experience but the majority of our squad is just here to pick up a wage and will probably drift out of the league after their current deal ends.

DJ has signed an extension at Norwich. Mills has potential as do Wright , Cardwell, Clifton , Akeem Rose and Kilip. Put Wilko in temporary charge, pay off 5/6 useless and fringe players and sign a proven scorer. NEVER start Hooper or Vernon together again. Send Matt back.

Quite unlike me to want a manager gone but I can’t see things changing any time soon (pun not intended).
He just doesn’t get anything right imo.
His team selection usually leaves everyone scratching their head from the off.
Subs when they come are just as confusing. The best player will be the one to depart. The guy you thought would be coming off will complete 90 minutes.
Literally the only ways he can see to influence a game will be to swap the wingers or like for like subs.
Basic coaching is poor. Why do we now have all 11 players in the box to defend corners?
Terrible calls for set piece takers. This is one that drives me mad in particular. As I’m sure we’re all well aware now we struggle for goals, so we really need to capitalise here. Ben Davies has one of the best deliveries in the league and has done for years. He can’t get anywhere near a set piece yet Dixon and Woolford are allowed to continue their dross clipped balls straight on to the head of the first defender.
I will never boo the guy because I can’t see the point but he looks massively out of his depth. Time to go, RS.

30 pro's in the first team squad I'm sure I read. How many of them would you call 'good players' at this level?
Half a dozen maybe ?!? Tops!

Our problems start there and get worse...

First bit on bold - How do you know? None have a league start between them.

Second bit in bold - We can't score clearly having a former top flight striker at the club is not working, why promote him?

Lose some more dead wood, sack tem both, get a new manager and add at least one striker, probably someone who is scoring in non league as anyone else who has any league form would avoid us like the plague.

Quoted from arryarryarry


My understanding from someone that works closely with the club is that Wilko is in charge of the training.


Do you think he selects the team and the tactics? hes brought in a couple of lads that arent bad. just saying that he probably wouldnt use the same tactics etc.
He has after all been in and around the championship now for a number of years so must have picked up a thing or two.

I genuinly think its slades dinosaur tactics thats the problem, intercourse we may be world beaters in training but gash on matchday due to how the manager sets us up.
Players arent getting the chance like Mcallister, tombola, clifton to name a few. mills only got a game today as dixon the donkey was unavailable.
Im sure mcallister is by far the best holding midfielder we have, far and away better than berret, with mcallister and j.osborne in the middle would be usefull.

And how K.osbourne doesnt get a look in is beyond me as he surely cant be any worse than Clarke

Is he good enough? I mean look at his career history he has barely played 30 games in 4 seasons and can't seem to force his way into any team apart from a short stint in league 2 with the Dons.

Quoted from TAGG


He will have to appoint a manager who can get more out of what we have than Slade does.
We have some flipping dross here but we have some decent players for this level and used in a more positive way would keep us in this league because the way we are going we will be relegated and never come back.


....and most of that dross was brought in by Slade. I can't think of a single player that Slade brought in during the summer that has bettered the squad. Dembele has a lot of potential but isn't the finished article. Woolford, Kelly, Dixon are just not good enough or aren't bothered to put in the effort. Clarke is certainly no better than Pearson and is probably on twice the wage. Mills ( a Hurst signing ) had a good game yesterday but as soon as Dixon is available I bet he is dropped and Davies ( a Slade re-signing) moves back to right back. Slade is well past his sell-by-date and has nothing new to offer the game anymore. His tactics are so defensive and not leaving anybody up front when we are defending a corner or set piece is so negative.
