We? There were very differing opinions imo


I've been on here in various guises since 1998 and I don't think I've ever seen a decision or suggestion which has had anything close to unanimous support.

My point is that it was a suggestion on here which had a fair few posters behind it.

It sure did but  saying 'we' wanted Jolley given a long term contract is misleading IMHO

We were all behind Newell. We were all wrong.

It doesn't matter about the circumstances of his appointment. The only thing that matters is the here and now, and you can't have a long term "revolution", if you are heading back to non league, because all of that will go out of the window for lack of funds.

If he does go (i'd be inclined to give him longer yet), we will once again be looking for a manager to fire fight a poor situation. It's a never ending process of failure and panic stations.

I think it's patently obvious that our problems go beyond the manager. We can all speculate as to where the problems lie, but several factors work against us, and it is getting increasingly more difficult to keep picking ourselves up off the canvas for another go. I personally think we are heading for oblivion unless there are radical changes, and i'm not talking about changing the manager yet again.

The board, the manager, the players, the fans are all downtrodden and browbeaten by continual failure and lack of any discernible progress. Once again, we are going backwards; we are not even treading water. I have no idea what the answer is, but i do know that i am caring less and less as the seasons rack up. Sack him, don't sack him, i'm not ar$ed any more.

I think Jolley should be given another month to get some points on the board and some fight into the team.

I didnt expect us to be challenging at the top but did epect us to be full of energy, fit and organised. Sadly we havent looked anything like this.

Possibly out of our reach but if a decision is made to change then Paul Heckingbottom should be a target. If you dont ask you dont get

I really don't know how long the decision can be left. 2 games? 4 games? a month? Christmas?

The club simply cannot afford to let it go on week after week hoping for a change in fortunes.

They did that with Slade last season (which everyone rightly criticised)

If Jolley is going to be shown the door it has to be sooner rather than later. Christmas seems a natural point as it gives the new man the transfer window but they way things are going we could be seriously adrift at the bottom by then.

My biggest fear is that Jolley somehow manages somehow to scrape up the odd win or draw here and there, enough to justify his retention in the eyes of the board (and many on here) only for it to go mammaries up again after the New Year when it's too late to change

Sorry Jolley lovers, he has to go now. Great idea and wonderful advert for the club and all that but hospital visiting and meeting fans in the ticket office is no substitute for experience in football management and tactics

I agree with that. There is still plenty of time left in the season yet, and those players performed so well against the current leaders and MK Dons. If we can get a bit of confidence back and once again perform at those levels, we will be fine. It may not happen of course, but i think we can afford a bit longer to find out. It would help if we didn't have so may injuries, especially defenders.

I agree Ipswin we are just prolonging the agony.
If we loose the next two games we could be adrift at the bottom, then we will struggle to attract any players.

There is not even a glimmer of an improvement to justify two more games.

Met jolley pre season. Nice bloke and speaks a lot of sense. Maybe somewhere it's being lost in translation. He was obviously in for 2 key strikers pre season, and what would appear is that for one reason or another, we were left with plan c and I think ended up with plan g!

I'd also say that it looks to me personally that rose and wright were sent out on loan to get full match fitness, a master stroke if it's right, as they wouldn't get up to speed that quickly on the bench, and the form they are showing is good
