Are we going to ignore the fact fans overwhelming backed Jolley's appointment. I'm no Fenty fan, but on this appointment its clear there's no winning for him.

There's clearly a number of players who were targeted who chose not to join us for whatever reason but these players were either signed or re-signed by this manager under the financial allowances set by the board. Ultimately, the board have overseen this fuckingshambles for fifteen fuckingyears - but this is his squad.........and I've just heard him say he believes in them.

Can't blame JF for everything, manager and his crew plus players are responsible for delivering on the field simple as, we were all in awe of Jolleys performance last season, seems like another false dawn

I dont blame Fenty for this one.. jolly clearly knew what to say to Fenty and to the fans, this is different to what he was capable off. Not sure if true but Jolly was about 6 choice after being turned down by others or others that wanted real pay . His back was against the wall and running out of time. And Jolly pulled the wool over everyones eyes and got the job, And made a few jobs for his mates . and as they all contribute to this shed load of poop they should all go

Apart from Ipswin nearly everybody on here wanted Jolley.
We can not blame Fenty for this one.
When we went to Cambridge last season Jolley was in the stand,
I wonder where he will be this time round.
I hope in the dug out because that would mean he has turned things round.

Jolley performed miracles last season, however has our owner really given him the funds to bring in real quality, considering how poor we are and being undone by Stevenage, I would guess no.

I think the blame lies with Fenty because he kept Slade all the way through the January window. We didn’t spend any money and let some of our better players leave. Then he sacked Slade and could’nt get a proven manager in. Let’s not forget that Jolley was at least 4th choice. By the time he was appointed their were very few other options. As popular a choice as Jolley was with the fans, he wouldn’t have got the top job at any other Football League club. Let’s not forget the architect of the horrendous circumstances that led to the Jolley appointment.

To be honest we had some of Fenty's "football fortune" at the back end of last season, majority of games against teams around us, so were just as cack as us, the referees awarded us a few pens, which thankfully Rose put away, so basically all our stars were in alaingment. It was obvious we couldn't score in open play so in the close season we should have spent a bit on a striker even if it meant sacrificing squad numbers.

Jolley has got about 15 less than Slade had at one time.

Of course Fenty is culpable. He's the one holding the purse strings. The lack of funds is almost certainly why we didn't get the calibre of striker (and other positions) we desperately and obviously required. However, saying that Jolley has dramatically failed to live up the hype and hope he instilled in most of us. Yes, he's been unlucky with injuries but is that just a convenient excuse for a disastrous start to the season?
