Quoted from grimsby pete
If we do not win any of the last 5 games and that looks possible,

It will be 13 games without a win,

I think he needs to win at least one or two to keep his job.

BUT

Who will score the goals ?



IF we do not win any of the last 5 games, then its squeeky bum time.  We are only 13 points ahead of bottom team and 12 from the drop.  So if ALL the teams below us go on a 5/6 winning game streak, then we will finish bottom.  I know its not feasible in reality, but mathematically its possible

Chairmen come and go, boards come and go, but the fans remain.
They are the one true constant

Notts and Macc have only won 5 games apiece since December, Yeovil  and even Crawley (dark horses making a bid for the trapdoor) only 4 wins since November.
Expecting any of them to win 4 or 5 in a row is beyond unfeasible, and while Town have 8 wins since Dec there's no doubt the current form would be a little alarming if there were still a dozen games or so left.

After the last window which included the signing of Ring and a contract extension for Cardwell, I’m not sure I trust him with the next one.



That could be countered by the signing of Hess, Hendrie and Embleton last summer.

There is more chance of the Second Coming than all that happening. There is no prospect of my bum squeaking any time soon.

Quoted from MuddyWaters
I'm not advocating the departure of Jolley & Limbrick but, bearing in mind Mr Fenty's assertion that managers are only 6 games from the sack and we're nor 8 without a win, surely there's got to be some kind of improvement shown by the end of the season?

If nothing else, Harry Davis as a holding midfielder? Really?


I am disappointed with results and worried about the recent trends but I seem to remember in the past that managers have been hammered for not using end of season games to play youngsters and experiment with formations etc.  On top of that we’ve had a glut of injuries.  

Its tough being a manager!

Yes, I suppose we're not used to being relatively safe with 10 or so games to play.

We could have Jesus in charge and he couldn’t do anything about years of no investment, poor training facilities, poor manager choices and a p*ss poor non chairman in charge.

The catering would be profitable though.  A few loaves and fishes and a 5000 crowd all fed  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

It would make a change having a parable instead of the usual programme notes.
