At least we've got someone other than Askey in charge, we'll see what Ricketts conjures up. I called Askey out after the first game through quality of players signed, fitness, tactics ... all after actually having three months in charge. Those who thought Askeys tenure was just needing time we're wrong on both accounts ... Mortgagehound ... etc? Shameful to support a sinking ship. The players now seem to just be capable of mid or lower mid finish. Askeys legacy has written off the season. I would not say it was shameful to support Askey We played very well in the first game, didn’t deserve the loss and you can’t write someone off after one game in charge? Did you write Anthony Grant off after that game too? Askey had time to prove himself but it became clear a few weeks ago that the players weren’t playing for him. I hope Ricketts gets more than one game before you write him off!

Rickets will get more time because .....
... he can't be judged on Askey's legacy of meagre points total thus far a
.. nor the lower mid table player acquisitions he's left with.
Yep, was wrong about Grant ... but he did have a 20 mins stinker that day.
Shameful to support and justify our team going downhill .. Yep.

There's been no mention from him yet of the 'fans' and 'supporters'. The 'great club I left' etc yet from Ricketts? The usual stuff. Every departing manager has a few kind words surely? They usually at least give a reason why they've 'jumped ship' etc? How they'll miss the staff etc. The little things. Nothing. We might be waiting a long while.... Almost...unusually 'cold', undignified departure day managerial change? You will have to get over it I'm afraid. It seems to be the modern way - PH didn't have a lot to say about us either when he disappeared from our lives in May. i don't think much of it either to be honest.

What is shameful is to write a new signing off after 20 minutes... Biggest smatter of egg on face now in the history of B&A. Embarrassment

Loving their forum..
I could understand Dean leaving as Walsall was his club .I get the fact that Sam is ambitious and the money was probably better but still think it’s the wrong move for him and I question the wisdom of those advising him .He could have been an absolute legend if he got us promoted . Having played for Wales and witnessed 300/400 making lengthy away trips to watch non league games surely he could spot the potential
despite in being an incredibly hard league to get out of
Last sentence made me chuckle... we only stayed one season LMAO

Yep, was wrong about Grant ... but he did have a 20 mins stinker that day. Shameful to support and justify our team going downhill .. Yep. Askeys last two games were an away win and a draw so who know if we’d have continued on the run were on now... Suits your agenda to claim you were right about your amazing astuteness in prophesying his ability after one game and your also writing off his signings who’ve just gone on a run of only 1 defeat in the last 8 games .....Maybe it was more to do with the negativity of the fans after the 1st game and personal comments after the 1st meet the manger regarding his dull and boring demeanour that affected his confidence... Oh and those fans who’d decided from the start have cost us big, replacing Hurst has now cost us Compensation to Mac, compensation to Askey plus 3 back room staff, compensation to Wrexham..... not the best way to support the club By the by now we’ll never know so hopefully fans will give Ricketts a chance, at least 15 games rather than 1
