Yeovil please help us sack Mr slade Tuesday

Quoted from grimsby pete

We can not win. !!!!!!!!!

That's the problem!

He’s hardly gone a bignotesque jan signing spree has he ? A shite keeper and a couple of young lads with pretty much no first team experience. Says everything about the boards confidence in the management team and their ability to attract players . All this after the attempt at positive PR with the all too obvious bul.lshi.t statement of intent .
Let’s fooking hope the squad has the boll.ocks to get a few results , starting on Tuesday down at Yeovil, to get us out this scary situation we are now well and truly in .
Then hopefully we can fook slap head out of it just like he did us before the Cheltenham game in Cardiff in 2006 .

The team is actually playing some decent football over recent games.  They just cannot buy a goal from anywhere and it isn’t from lack of effort.

If this was any other manager then people would be spending a lot more time bemoaning poor refereeing and bad luck hitting the woodwork instead of harping on about ancient history. He is not my ideal manager by any means but If we have problems they are not of Slade’s making, he is just trying to firefight. Have a go at the purse holder by all means but we are desperate to stay in the league. Sacking the manager like the OP wants is just ridiculous.  The people who are out there on the training ground and on the BP grass for the games need support from the supporters, the clue is in the name.

Great post.

Quoted from GrimRob

It will just about sum up the clueless approach of the club if Slade is sacked next week. Someone else could have been given the transfer window, instead, it's been handed to someone utterly incapable of identifying anyone half decent and persuading them to come and join his motley collection of ageing journeymen in a quest for midtable dominance (entertainment optional).

I get your point, but when would have been the correct time to sack him? We'd won 3 in a row just before Christmas and were almost in the playoffs. We then had a horrible run of games in late December that we didn't expect to get many points from. Sacking Slade before the window wasn't really justifiable based on the results that we'd had.

Ref the OP: I want us to win on Tuesday. I want us to be successful and play some attacking football and score some goals, even if we do have mixed results. I have no grudge with Slade and was quite positive about his return, but the way things have panned out - the terrible lack of quality and the dismal, unimaginative tactics have killed any enthusiasm I had. I can't bring myself to wish for teams to beat us to get a manager sacked. I can't say I understand that notion at all.

No, just no.

Problems not of the managers making are you having a laugh he's signed 22 players and can't make a decent fist of it. It's frankly ridiculous he hands out contracts like their confete.

Or just maybe the transfer window was handed to someone who promised not to spend in return for keeping his job ??

The board get to make a positive statement. The manager knows his job is safe. At the end of the window the usual bullsh1t is trotted out. ‘Ridiculous fees’ players turned us down last minute etc etc etc.

Once again the only losers are us, the long suffering fans.

It is Sladeballs fault he resigned a lot of the players who most thought weren't good enough and then he adds to the poor side with players on 2 year contracts who don't even make the bench. This side reflects him and it isn't good enough to even break down a 10 man side for over an hour. Set plays are a joke, no guile or intelligence, very few players take their man on and a lot of passing is crab, sideways. We rarely clear the ball to one of our players and often a pass is hit too hard to the receiving player to control it or do a controlled knock on. I think Wilkinson is as much to blame for all his experience he seems a bit like a nobody a non entity WTF does he do?
