Another one bites the dust.

He's improved us quite significantly given the financial constraints he has to work within. You seem to be forgetting just how bad we were when he took over. Last season was a marginal improvement on the year before, and this year is looking like a similar level of improvement on last. Improving year on year is good management in any line of business.

Absolutely balls...we've not improved in our playing style at all, yes we were gash before he took over, even Stevie Wonder could see that, but to say he's improved us is gash... we're regressing back to Slade ball quicker than than the sinking of the Titanic..
I've said we have better squad, but until he sorts out our style of play and puts a stamp on it I'll carry on saying he's no more than an a wanna be professional footballer who didn't make it and thinks he can make it as a league football manager...

I don't see that at all.

We are constantly rubbish, but not quite as rubbish as last time is not what I call progress.

I thought we may have turned a corner earlier in the season, but that has drifted off into the ether as always.

Despite several false starts we cannot seem to get a run going that will get the club rocking. If our progress is so slow as not to notice, what is the point?

The only plus point is that we are actually in the Football League, but we have got to start showing we want to improve our fourth tier cannon fodder tag asap before we start slipping backwards again.

With you completely Lew...

We were 15 without a win when he took over and looked like it, I think we've improved since then. Maybe not as much as we all wanted, but improved nonetheless.

I have been saying for two yrs that MJ  is not a manager  and is not learning from his mistakes. He is probably a very good coach of players but that is not what a proper manager does, its a whole different world. I would think that 70% of experienced managers struggle at times so MJ has no chance in the long run. Hanson is a very good winner of the ball especially in the air, but you need players round him to run on to flick ons etc. At the moment he wins the ball and has no options but to try hold on to it until maby one player gets near him 10 seconds too late

Though I don’t like getting dicked 4 - 0 at home to a team we should beat and his platitudes are beginning to grind my gears we where on the slide big style when MJ came in.

He does appear to have gone a bit quiet on “being accessible” though.

Looks like MJ is struggling really didn’t have him down as the falling out with crowd type , normally a good indicator of the path he’s on

Our record this year is W5 D4 L6 - hardly "constant rubbish" or "cannon fodder". It might not be the level of progress we would all love to see, but it is progress. Given he is also bringing through the young players and the club made a profit last year, I think he's doing a better job by a long way than what Slade was doing.

I accept at the end of the game the main judgement placed on a Manager and team is how many points did we get from the match, after that we will all have opinions on style, approach, commitment and the quality of individual players. However, I believe on a previous thread a poster was able to show that over the period of MJ’s tenure we took more points in the first 50% of matches as opposed to the second 50%, thus some of the perceived improvement is not factually correct.

I am a pretty patient fan and have not expected miracles and accept thatMJ was a novice, would make errors and had a lot to learn. Unfortunately, at present I am not witnessing any evidence in our performances to support the argument we are getting better. Like many the positive performances at the start of the season suggested he was going down a longer ball route but I am ok with this provided it’s done properly not half baked with a front three that play nowhere near each other with crosses made 30 yards or more from where they can cause the optimum problem for the opposition.

His after and pre- match interviews are as bland as PH and tell us nothing but that’s by the by in reality as I just want to go watch town and look forward to the experience and not like last week be more delighted when the game is actually postponed.

I would stick with MJ for the remainder of the season to see if the required progress and improvement can be achieved and to see if the a January transfer window can address some of the problems if not I would support a change.
