I know it's not an excuse but it has to be said that we've been dealt a very hard hand in our first few games. Apart from Macc all of the teams look like being among the better ones this season. I had (and still do) hoped to count ourselves among the promotion contenders. That's why a manager needs to be given at least half a season to see how his team fares amongst the better sides.

If the worst happens and we lose MJ at least we have a squad of mainly younger players on long term deals (by our standards) that someone else (Limbrick would probably would get first shout) could reap the benefits from.

People just discussing the situation no one is saying sack him now.
But if this run continues when do you start looking at other options.
No one minds losing god where used to it.
The manner of the defeats against Bury and FGR is the worrying thing.

So do I,

BUT

It does and you have added to it and so will I again,

Fenty is not normally quick to fire the manager so he will be given time,

Whether a 6 month  rolling contract is a good thing or a bad one I am not sure at the moment,

If I was a manager I would rather have a 3 year one then at least you know until you the sack is not just a day away.( if it is at least you will get a nice pay off )

I believe Jolley will be here in 2 years time but he will have to sign a few more players that understand his thinking because a few of them now have no idea what they are suppose to do on occassions.

I cannot be bothered to look but I wonder how many of those expressing worry now were a matter of weeks ago demanding the club give the manager a three year deal.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

We have to give MJ time.  After all new players, new manager,  new relationships with players to build, new tactics.  Not to mention a tough start to the season (excluding FGR & Macclesfield) and some bad luck with injuries and of course some silly suspensions (although WT sending off was a joke).  

It was going to be a bit inconsistent even MJ said that.  They'll get there I'm sure.

Aye and I was one who was happy with the current rolling contract but also very much in the camp who doesn’t think we should be considering a managerial change.
It’s tough swimming against the tide

I do believe it was always a gamble with MJ, but I still I think it's one that will pay off, as I've stated before this is now all but his team including backroom staff and everyone knows to get the players to build partnerships, settle into a set way of playing will take time and as yet MJ has admitted he hasn't had the 11 starters he wants available to him yet, once this happens then the true judgement can start...The team is evolving, unlike the board which needs dissolving!!...
Will add this, got to give MJ another transfer window but, and a big but, if with a dozen games to go to the end of the season we are staring down the barrel of non league and our play hasn't improved then and only then should his tenure be questioned

FGR are unbeaten in 9th, to be fair to them.
