I think if you amend the options to “Slade Mk.2” then that would be fairer.

In my era it's close but Bobby Roberts was pretty poor, getting hammered at home every week, 4-0 down at half-time at home to Bristol City and subsequently getting us relegated.

The thing with Bobby Roberts is that he took over the wreckage left by Mike Lyons and at the end of the season we were only one goal away from staying up.

Says a lot that 3 of the 5 worst managers in 130 years or whatever have been employed by Fenty who is comfortably the worst chairman in the history of the club.

Tbf I doubt there’s many people who have fond memories of the 1901/02 season.

I think he was better as chairman than he has been as non-chairman - though frankly, I can't remember when that was.

What is this poll for? It says the worst Manager in Towns history, then only goes back about 25 years. The club is about 140 years old ffs!

We had enough capable players in that squad to do far better, Agnew, Jobling, McDermott, O'Riordan, Cunnington, Walsh, North to name a few off the top of my head, unfortunately, we had a few similar to today's squad, the McGarvey's and Curran's who were stealing a living!

Thing is, I suspect the majority of fans on here are below the age of 60. That and I don’t know any town fans over the age of 100 who post on here. Just saying.

Just looking at the stats of Bobby Roberts first 8 league home games with Town:-

WON 2-0 Gillingham
LOST 0-1 Brentford
LOST 2-3 Mansfield
LOST 0-2 Walsall
LOST1-3 Southend
LOST 1-4 Bristol City
DRAW 1-1 Blackpool
LOST 0-1 Brighton.........pretty grim reading although we did beat Darlington in the league cup and Halifax in the Sherpa Van Trophy

But if memory serves me right he also missed the last game of the season to go on a coaching course. North missed a pen we went down. Or at least that’s how I remember it 🤔
