Although it was him who recruited them, I can’t help but feel sorry for SR given the lack of fight and drive that the players seem to show. Can’t help but feel as though they’re really letting him down. They don’t really look particularly determined to win football matches do they? I hope they’re hurting tonight after that, but somehow I doubt they are. We need Whalley and Edwards back in the side, proper professionals. Name some names Gtismygod 😉 Burgoyne, Williams, ebanks, Pierre, Charlie Daniels, Clarke, Cummings are the worst offenders. Pathetic body language. Where’s the drive to win games? Where’s the anger after repeated stupid mistakes? Where’s the determination to improve? Low standards.

17 players out of contract - 2 in January, 15 in June.
Gives plenty of scope for a new manager to start afresh.

Only been here 2 games and was our best player in one He wasn’t my MOTM, didn’t understand why everyone was so impressed. Looks slow and switched off for the Rochdale goal where they got in behind. Not what you expect from an experienced 34 year old, no doubt earning a huge wad of cash.

I know people are saying Tuesday is make or break but is it really? We may win but the last 2 years have shown Ricketts is not capable of producing a team that can go on a consistent run of (good) form, so I'd expect to follow up any win with a defeat at Cambridge.
So for me, giving him till Tuesday is just wasting time. Get rid, then hope for a positive reaction from the players next week whilst we search for a new manager

Wasn't Michael Flynn of Newport County rumoured to have been in the running for the Town job after John Askey was sacked?
He is certainly doing well for them this season and playing some attractive football to boot.

Why would he leave the club he loves (home club, first club went back three times and loved by the fans) at the top of league 2 for a club he’s got no connection with at the bottom of league 1 with fans that will turn on him if he has a poor first 6 games.....he was mentioned on here along with many more

I certainly agree that he would be a fool to leave Newport County whilst they are riding high but he would certainly fit our more recent approach to managerial appointments.

Having, very reluctantly, reached the decision that it is time for STFC and Sam Ricketts to go their separate ways, I heard today, over breakfast with my prospective son-in-law (a Reading St-holder) that Josh Laurent has been outstanding for them so far thus season season; it does seem to provide further evidence of Sam's inability, for whatever reason, to get the best out of his available players, which is a major deficiency in his managerial skills.

Blatant and poor attempt to deflect conversion

I think players suit certain formations, setups and team philosophies. Eg. Torres was a world-beater at Liverpool and rubbish at Chelsea. It's unfair to say Collins and Laurent were not world-beaters for us soley because of the manager. There are many other things at play, personal circumstances such as settled family etc etc blah blah. It's all ifs and buts.
We can blame the manager for a collective display however. If a team plays poorly, that's the manager.

I remember being outraged when Jake King sold Alf Wood, it was the biggest blunder by a Town manager since Fred Davies released Arthur Rowley.

Saturdays game was a shambles for us- again. IMO Rickets is out of his depth. Whatever is happening in training isn’t working and/or Ricketts has lost the dressing room. His tactics have destroyed our defence. We have always looked to bring on young players but Ricketts seems to like to bring in older players but apart from our own Whalley isn’t working. Edwards is good when on the pitch but spends a lot of time injured so that’s not helping us. We need to get rid of Rickets now whilst we have a chance to get out of relegation zone and bring in a manager who understands the league and not someone who likes to encourage fancy footwork and clinical play leave that dross for the premier league.

I think I've decided now Pilch would be okay with Ricketts at the helm if we finished bottom and didn't score another goal until May...
He's gone from defending Ricketts to telling us sacking managers is never a good idea because we can't afford to pay them off.
