Remember that Jolley comes from a very competitive environment outside of football, the world of finance. I guess no one is more disappointed and angry than Jolley himself at these results. Simply, his character as a human being is someone who likes to win and hates to lose. More so than most. That is why I still believe that things will improve.
Even if the players is his, they don`t have many games together and they are a fairly young team age-wise too. Some injuries on top of that combined with meeting very good teams at the start of the season gives us the present results. We were just as good as Stevenage yesterday, but were unlucky to let one in behind us.
I still believe we will come good, but there is obviously some problems to sort out - especially regarding our attacking options - we will never score, except on penalties, with Thomas on his own. The more games we lose, the players are also affected mentally, and the game against Morecambe is crucial when it comes to getting that nice feeling of winning a game. So Yes, that one will be important, but I don`t want a managerial runaround just yet. We have had too many of those - now we need to support a manager that saved us from certain relegation last season - one that we all have had a lot of belief in and praised Fenty for hiring.
Erm, we couldn't even manage a shot on target, I suggest you watch the highlights.

You are right, but I meant that we were on the level playing-wise.

It was our 0-2 home defeat to Morecambe last season that got me thinking we were in deep sh1t. The board should have acted then, but let Slade carry on until the window had shut (while shipping out some of the better players) and it all got very toxic. Let's hope that Saturday brings a more positive result.

We will support the team next Sat. The manager could help his own cause by picking the right players. No Collins, no Woolford etc. We need to play with passion, purpose and courage.
We should take the game to Morecambe with attacking football. Keeping the tactics simple. 2 up front would be a start.

Not really bothered if God knows as long as the board know.
God is on the board clutching most of the haloes atm

dont get this, been no worse than anyone else, arguably our best player in August, would help if MJ played him on the right where against lincoln he was superb, yet hasnt played there since, one in a long line of odd decisions

If we lose on Saturday and the bottom 2 win we’ll be bottom of the league of GD that is not acceptable then it’s Carlisle A, Port Vale H, Mansfield A then 2 home games games versus Exeter & Colchester finishing the month at Crewe. Looking at current form we could go into November still on the canvas.
If that’s the case then a change will need to be made in my opinion.

To be honest herts, if I don't see a much, much improved performance this weekend , and I'll say this too, at least a couple of goals along with several on/off target attempts then it's time for MJ to hold up his hands, admit defeat and accept football league management just is not his forte...saddens me to say all this because like the majority I pinned so many hopes on this young, hungry, enthusiastic and extremely well educated/ qualified young man....

The thing is we looked safe at that stage in January as few imagined we would go on the sort of terrible run we did (which was the second worst run in our history - https://thefishy.co.uk/topresults.php) This season is a different kettle of fish as we have barely any points on the board and we started our bad run when we basically had no points. There's no way that the manager in this situation is going to be allowed to go 20 games without a win, as we'd be marooned at the bottom if that were allowed to happen.

I do not think we will go anywhere near 20 games without a win Rob, BUT We might win one and lose a few win one and lose a few more. Our only hope is Jolley turns things round otherwise there is another new man coming in who might not do any better
