You may be right Swin, we will know about a 12 games into next season if he is a real duffer, but dont feel he can be clearly judged on the last few games. Yes I posted a few complaining about Slades awful signings tactics etc. but always got the give it time etc replies and red Xs. Water off a ducks back duck as they say round here.
I'll reserve judgement until May next year as if he is judged any earlier the excuse will be 'its all Slade's fault look what he inherited'. I had hoped that he had been brought in to save us from relegation this season (which hopefully he may well still do, presumably then all mention of it being Slade's squad will mysteriously disappear and it will all be down to Jolley) but whether we stay up or not I will make my appraisal on our position (be it Div 2 or National League) at the end of next season - assuming he stays that long!

Brave lad, you can get some right stick on here for judging a new manager too soon (even when you are right)

Think we need to stop looking backwards. That's called History.
Think either way Fenty must go and get what he can from the shambles
We need to get behind the boys and hope MJ has got enough to survive this season.
If not hope he stays and rebuild but Fenty must go.

Yeovil possibly have the hardest run in but are 5 points clear of us.

I think you're forgetting something Heisenberg.... We were given assurances by JF that we'd have 20 more points in the bag by the end of the season.... we've already got one so with another seven games to go, six wins and a draw will do the trick. Simples
Can you imagine the video message from Fenty Towers if that actually did now happen , pan shot around the drawing room , stops at a high back leather swivel chair turned away from camera, the chair spins revealing a smugly smiling JF, large glass of brandy in one hand the other stroking a cat on his lap, beige roll neck jumper with a diamond encrusted gold fish medallion worn over the top ..... he clears his throat.. Yes Dale ..i just wanted to put this video out to belittle those social media bullies and keyboard warriors who have quite frankly slandered me over the last few months and subjected me and my family to unwarranted abuse despite the fact my key decision making and astute managerial appointment have secured our League status for another season....

All managerial appointments end in failure so you were bound to be right at some point. When we drew at Notts County mid December and we were a fraction outside of the play offs I don't think many on here were calling for him to be replaced. Something happened shortly after that - probably news filtering through that in January we were going to let our best players go and not replace them and the board signalling as far as they were concerned the season was over. We all have our likes and dislikes - I must admit I took an almost instant dislike to Bignot even though his results were much better than we are getting now. I suppose that what makes the game such a talking point.

One thing I do remember just before Christmas when we were doing OK, a couple of people posted some stats graphs about all the teams in league two. - can't remember who it was - but these stats graphs seemed to point out that despite our position in the table, we were one of the worst few teams. From what I remember the stats showed four things like times in opponents penno areas, number of shots, minutes to number of shots, and of course the opposite with opponents time in our half and other things. We were in distinctly the wrong area on these graphs indicating we should be near the bottom on performances but weren't. I really didn't give it much thought at the time as we were top half of the table - just thought it indicated that you could show anything you want with stats and it maybe proved they were a load of b*ll*x. Of course now I look back at that and think that maybe this indicated how bad a team we were and we were in a false position at the time. Doesn't help us now given where we are with hands tied and stuck with the squad we have but guess maybe some indication was there. Just hope something changes and we get some luck - just going in front in a game could make a bit difference and I dearly hope that happens on Friday. Edit: The graph was something like this below https://experimental361.com/2018/03/04/scatter-graphics-league-2-4-mar-2018/

Well even after we beat Chesterfield on first game of season (thank god we did because it's atleast given us a tiny sniff of staying up) there were people saying it would be a struggle season because they absolutely dominated us and the warning signs were there but you had the usual people saying "give it time" and "we're a good team" etc, on September 9th I text a mate of mine who supports another league 2 club saying "we have a really poor team, we will be bottom 4" I don't know how to screenshot and post on here but I'm more than happy to forward the text onto people if you don't believe me, just PM me your number and I'll do it.
