4-0 Jeez
Very Worried
Can I ask those who have been today (couldn’t make it)
If, overall, are we moving forward or backwards?
Does MJ know what he is doing?
When we had it the ball spent most of the game moving backwards. |

Whilst not many are asking for him to be sacked, many had the same view as you when Slade was in charge and going back to Neil Woods and we know where that ended up.
Every manager is going to have a period when questions are asked. He's learning on the job, as we all do in our various professions. Some managers (like the two you mention) I had a gut feeling were never right in the first place, I don't have that with MJ. |

To use a snooker analogy though Slade came to the table with most of the balls in decent positions and managed to make a complete mess of it. When Jolley came to the table he got the snookers he needed and went on to win the frame. He's not started the second frame very well and is still partly hampered by Slade's equipment but there are plenty of balls still in play, and he is looking abroad for a new cue and rest.

Hammered by Slade's equipment? Sorry, but total BS. Yesterday's team.. McKeown - MJ new contract Davis - MJ signing Whitmore - MJ signing Collins - MJ new contract Fox - MJ signing Welsh - MJ signing Woolford - MJ new contract M Rose - RS signing Hessenthaler - MJ signing Clifton - MJ new contract Cook - MJ signing Famewo - MJ signing Vernam - MJ signing Hooper - RS signing So, 12 of the 14 who featured yesterday are either MJ signings or he gave them new contracts. To apportion even a fraction of the blame for our current plight on RS is frankly ridiculous. MJ was given everything he asked for during pre-season. The same things that weren't given to Hurst that lead to him walking. He needs to deliver ASAP. |

12-15 games I think before we see if GTFC are going in right direction
With a bit of luck MJ will have had his loan signings plus Thomas playing regularly
We should be seeing MJ's preferred best starting XI
More creativity equals more goals IMO
Still convinced MJ is the right man - and there is no point appointing a raw, untested manager if you ditch them after about 20 games

Don't forget there are still a few players on big contracts who might not play much but are still eating up a large part of the wage bill that might be spent on better players. |
