one thing that does seem strange is that in the pre season and at the beginning of the season many were commenting about how happy and together the squad were and how it seemed there was a really good team spirit, which was a huge improvement on the last couple of years. would love what, when and why it changed

Just caught up with this thread and the news and I must say I was surprised.

I have said he should play a settled team with players in their best positions ,

The timing seems very strange we have not lost a game for weeks maybe because we have only played twice but we did not lose them so there is more to this than the club are saying.

Whoever gets the job will find a decent squad that can move back up the table if he uses them in a more attacking way than they have been told lately.

As for Jolley he has been his own worse enemy by the way he has used the players this season.

I do believe he will get a job in football again as a coach not as a manager though.

Quoted from Heisenberg


I believe that MJ told Clifton he was not part of his plans as he couldn't rely on him being around due to international call-ups with Wales.


If thats true thats totaly ridiculous.

I don't believe a word of that. I mean the original point about not being part of his plans because of call ups.

It’s very easy to say this is a surprise or a poor decision but he’s been here 18 months now and aside from a couple of, admittedly very good, away performances we’ve been pretty poor all season. Once sides worked us out, ie put two men on Hanson we had absolutely no alternative. People claimed Hurst was one dimensional but he was positively multi-layered when compared with us this season. Jolley sold himself as a modern, forward thinking, attack minded coach, we have been anything but this season. We have played hoof ball to Hanson constantly. We played brilliantly at Exeter without him but he’s never gone back to this. I really thought we’d be further forward than we are now. The timing is surprising, suggests we’ve got someone else lined up.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Trust me it wasn't just that.

The comment regarding senior players isn't far from the truth.

Spill the beans then, come on...

Don't think many will agree with me on this one but I think Harry Clifton has been poor all season when he has played. As playing for Wales he is only in the under 21 squad he will never get a full international call up because he is not good enough and most probably never will be

Quoted from rancido
In his statement MJ makes reference to the budget but this is a cop out. He knew the budget in the summer and knew what he had to work with. Why sign Green, a fading star from a club not deemed good enough for league 2 by Salford. Why sign Hanson, a proven target man, and then not play to his strengths. Why have Cardwell and Vernham on the books and not utilise them. Why keep changing the players to fit the format instead of picking players who suit the format.


where did you get this from Rancido ? - i've read his statement on twitter and there isn't any mention of the budget. could you provide alink please?

Coming back from injury and not had a run in the team. Is there any wonder his form has been iffy?

The reason Jolly was sacked was nothing to do with the performance on the pitch-it was for personal reasons-he sent JSF a book for xmas- "Football Ownership for Dummies "
