What do you wish for on Saturday?

Obviously three points for Town.

I appreciate that plenty have completely lost faith in DA, but imo the best-case scenario (which I’m certain must be the board’s view) is that we scrape through to safety and DA has the chance to completely wipe the slate clean in the summer and build a team capable of playing his game. The board must be desperate for that to happen.

FWIW I don’t think DA is stupid, or a charlatan, but I think he has been naïve in trying to get this group of players playing in this way, or at least spending so long trying to get them playing in this way. We’ve seen his coaching come to fruition only in fits and starts, and whilst those glimpses have shown a progressive, pleasing-on-the-eye style, this group is clearly incapable of performing in that way, consistently, across 90 minutes.

DA needs thinking footballers, players who assess what to do with the ball when they get it and judge whether to go through the lines or chip over the top. DA knows this – he’s mentioned about the need to mix things up previously – but I just don’t think our bunch of cloggers are smart enough for it. In fact, this group has a lot of psychologically-weak players.

This isn’t a meant to be an ode to DA – I’m as amazed as the rest of us that he wasn’t sacked after Donny. I could see him being a perfectly good candidate, if he’s parachuted into an environment which is already set up for him, but we’re about as far removed from what he needs to succeed – players-wise – as it can be.

Like every Saturday I wish for 3 points, the most important thing (above every thing else) is getting the 3 points.

Quoted from Madeleymariner

3 points (oh and an email from Euromillions saying I won enough to invest big in the club)  

I win the Saturday Lotto and join you.

Main thing for me would be FGR m Sutton defeats
. Dont trust Artell/ this team to produce anything positive

3 points and an emphatic win. The best possible scenario is Artell wins and goes on to be the most successful manager in Town's history. I might have criticised DA but it's nothing personal.

An unlucky defeat would be the worst outcome though as there might be the temptation to limp on.

I’d just like the majority of men wearing town colours on the pitch to actually give a intercourse. To properly try their hardest to be the best they can be for 95 - 100 mins. No pulling out of challenges, be the first to that ball no matter what. No letting runners go, even if they beat you, make them pay for every inch they gain and force the error.

Agree

And the more Crewe fans feedback I get in regards their recruitment in the relegation season  ,the more I shudder that he somehow retains his position .

The counter argument is he's maybe learnt lessons from that and would go about it in a different way - he's only done it once so it's not like he's failed multiple times .

Do the board trust him to recruit what 15 -20 players ?

It would be a hell of a gamble if he remains in situ if he retains our league status , because it won't be evolution , it will be revolution for sure that's required.

Morecambe are odds against to beat us, so at least I'll be able to afford a drink.

A 10-0 victory to us.

I think I might suffer a disappointment though.

I reckon there’s a good chance you might get half of your wish (and by that, I don’t meant a 5-0 Town win).
