He was definitely feeling the pressure. Possible he did walk. The awful attendance against Newport could have been a factor too. I was expecting at least 50% more there so could have been a shock to the board that we only just scraped 2000.
I was a fan of jolleysbut I had lost all faith tbh. He definitely 'reset' each week with regard to treating each game as a match for which tactics should be individually molded as opposed to having any playing pattern that might be just tweaked for an opponent. It was failing. I wasn't at the stage for wanting him gone but I do think it had got to the stage he was fighting for the right to be in charge at the January window.
I am surprised he's gone but not too bothered. Thanks for the good work in keeping us up in that first season tho MJ, deserves credit for that.

Insane decision. If we sacked every manager after a seven game losing run we'd barely get through a season without a change.

Nobody any good could possibly contemplate joining us without a big long contract which we could never afford so we will end up with someone untried again.

Cue 18 months of "rebuilding" and back to sqaure one.

It's COMPLETELY BONKERS.

Please sift through the applicants carefully whilst Mooro is in charge. A more than capable caretaker.

I think that with the antics off the pitch, loosing the dressing room and poor form of late it was the right time to Change,
Gives a new manager time to get to know the players before the Jan window opens,
The new manager will also now have two extra games due to the postponements to get a few more points and to be honest after the last 6 games I cant say we had shown any improvement or any attacking plan.

Mr jolley kept us up and stabilised the club to some extent and that is somewhat a success BUT his football was drab he started to distance himself from the fans and it was the right time to move on.

Thanks Michael in the future and i think the board has actually done a good move here and without it turning into another 10 game losing streak he can move on with some credibility.

A lot of the previous managers have been given similar windows to turn things around in. None of them acheived much better than their predecessors.

This season is a right-off now and probably next as half the squad will leave in the summer and we'll be bedding in until Christmas.

With all this chopping and changing it's only a matter of time before we have a bad season and end up in the bottom two and then it will be Goodnight Football League forever.

Stability is the only answer.

"No further comment will be made at this time."
Hahahahahaha classic Town.

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
Fuming...

Be careful what you wish for.
Had a young manager, learning his trade, slowly but surely improving us, and fans called for his head...


Quoted from Mikoo
Been begging for a manager to blood youth in for years, finally get one with proven history in youth football who’s slowly improving us, and we do that. I’ve seen Fenty do some stupid things, but this might just be one of the worst

Yep. Assuming he's been sacked then this is what's frustrating about this. He was brought in to oversee a long term project and he's not been allowed to do that. He's worked really well with Woods and the kids and it's sad that that might be going to pot again. At least the posters on here who were frothing at the mouth because we aren't 10 points clear in 1st will be pleased. Looking forward to them telling us Nigel Adkins and Nathan Jones are available. Adkins might be able to bring that Bowen lad with him maybe hey, fellas?


Quoted from Hagrid
Wasnt good enough, havent moved forward in 2 years under him leading us. However we have a stagnant boardroom so i do t have a clue where we go from here

Apart from the fact that when he came in we hadn't won in about three months and were about to go down to the Conference again...

Quoted from Civvy at last
I am fairly confident that it is more than just recent results.  We all know someone who's aunty's postman had a mate who works at BP etc. But I heard from two different usually reliable sources this week that something was amiss.

What specifically have you heard?

Quoted from Tommy
The use of players out of position is an ongoing problem. And I personally think Mattie Pollock should be playing regularly. I know MJ has given Max Wright and Pollock their debuts, and got Clifton in the team regularly, but I'd have had Wright and Pollock in the team more than they have been this season. So whilst people say he's given youth a chance, they've only had the odd chance and then been back out again.

You can't rush the youths really though. Look at Crewe. They've been bringing this current crop through for seasons now, with some of them being in and around the first team squad for 2 or 3 seasons before nailing down places. We'd all love to see Pollock and Wright every match, but Jolley is a qualified manager who cut his teeth working with youngsters so you have to trust he knows what he's doing.

Whether we like the decision or not football is a results driven business and MJ wasn't delivering. Familiar patterns have emerged from last season ie the losing and winning streaks. The decision to dismiss, even without the traditional vote of confidence beforehand does come as a huge shock though, and to be honest it smacks of rank mismanagement, something we've long been accustomed to at BP.

I only get to see the club every so often nowadays, but reading about youth being given it's head over the last 12 months has the capacity to excite, even 250 miles away. Thanks for everything Mike, especially for keeping us up. You probably deserved a lot better than you got, but that's Town through and through. If ever a 24 hour period for the club showed it's utter incompetence in how to handle anything this has been it.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
