I don't think Limbrick would take or be given 25 games to get a win. The last two league matches he been in charge of we haven't looked like relegation fodder.

Only one goes down, though of course its dangerous to take your foot off the peddle and rely on that. I'd give AL till near new year assessing whether he should be given control of the transfer window, interview others and find out what kind of things they'd do in the window and go from there.

To not be doing interviews at minute because AL doing okay a bit silly I feel, do the interviews so you got an idea which way to go in should the AL reign go awry. Tell them we may not make an immediate appointment because of progress with interim manager but will do a second round of interviews around Christmas time so watch us and come back with your plans for the window and going forward.

AL should go through this process, even if it's informally to gauge his personal vision and to compare it with prospective candidates.

I thought I read somewhere that John and Al had already spoken, and discussed what needs addressing...  Also worth noting that John and Al have both said the same thing about "simplifying" things..

I suspect they are both toeing the same line...

Suggests to me that  there was a very low standard of candidates!

Yes they did ....the performances picked up!! ...we actually looked interested  and there was some semblance of style  ....the results never that i grant you but it was  probably because the performances picked up was why he was given 25 games to get a win.......which is why i mentioned it today we cant go down the same road now


When he first was given the job there were first teamers who just treated him like a makeweight. It is true that after relegation the performances looked better when those players left but Woods had no experience. Some signings were rubbish and he was conned by other managers into signing people like Ademeno. So the style of play that looked good for juniors was easily dealt with by Conference sides. In the end the inability to beat pub teams was what got him the sack.

Exactly, RRFC.  Poor results and performances can easily be rationalised and accepted.  This does not help to make the improvements needed.

David still managed to flatten Goliath, and he probably had a bigger budget.  😁


Well he did have God on his side so I’d say his budget was massively bigger than AC Philistine’s. At the very least the ref was biased. And the match reports a bit dodgy too.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
