I’d have taken Nigel Clough or Keith Hill but we’ve been too slow I’d like us to approach the Cowley’s and see how we go Paul Cook - highly unlikely but I’d ask the question There’s an endless list of options and we are never short of applications in the past but RW has been here 30 years and he doesnt pick well known managers, thats why i said earlier sometimes its not the manager but how the club is run, i wasnt having a pop at roland saying that, its just he doesnt buy anything that beyong our means, players, or managers, i suggested whitehead will be the man roland goes for in an attempt and hope it works and he takes the job, all done on the cheap I think if Whitehead was the replacement he’d have been installed by now, but he’s very much Ricketts’ man and will probably leave at the same time as Sam. Which of course means extra £s to find...

Don’t the away £10s go to the home club and not us? Believe that , apart from if the away team sells over 500 passes in which case the away team gets the extra. Hence why the Colchester chairman wasn't happy about their game at home against Bolton, because Bolton made more than Colchester did

I will eat my hat if it is Whitehead..... I really don’t have a problem if it is a senior player or someone else internal, if it is the best option when we take into account finances etc. In the season Turner got us promoted to League One I remember Plymouth Argyle something like one point from their first ten matches (against us... naturally) under the experienced Peter Reid, and rookie Carl Fletcher over and steered them to safety. Jamie Pitman did similar at Hereford in 2010/11 having stepped up from physio, as did Les Parry at Tranmere a couple of seasons before.

This will be Sam's last game. Another frustrating performance will be the end come Wednesday.
I think the same three will start up front and Pierre actually had a decent game yesterday. Can't see Burgoyne keeping his place after his howler yesterday, despite otherwise having a reasonably solid game yesterday.

Iliev has to come in for me - Burgoyne does have long term potential but is not ready yet to be a number 1 keeper in League 1. I would replace Eubanks- Landell with Walker at the back. Think Pilch has a point about Vela at left- back , he is an experienced footballer and could provide more running power than Daniels there. Would stick with Norburn and Edwards in midfield and stick with the same front three as at Ipswich but would give Pugh an hour and bring Supersub Cummings on for him. This game is entirely winnable if the lads pull their fingers out and believe in themselves a bit and I don't expect a change in manager if we lose - Roland has backed Ricketts through thick and thin (mostly thin!) and will probably continue that at least into the New Year.

Fust match I won't be buying. Not because of Salop, but I won't give the club stealers a penny.

We didn’t really expect to get anything at Ipswich but tomorrow night at MK is a different proposition.
MK have lost as many league games as ourselves - six
Playing away from home is no longer a disadvantage due to empty stadia.
MK are no more prolific in front of goal than ourselves and defensively have conceded two fewer goals.
There is nowt in it and appears a good chance for Salop to pick up three points.

They had an awful start, something on a par to us to get things going before they put a good run together that ended at the weekend at home against Hull. Only played three games at home to sides in the bottom half, won two and drew the other.
But then I guess its pointless as things stand to talk about " difficult games" or games that are "a decent opportunity to get the win" etc...we're past that at the minute.

To be fair, they'll have the advantage on us because they've been playing in an empty stadium for years!

if recent performances are anything to go by ;we will score first then throw away the lead through poor defending and they will finish us off towards the end of the game either from a keeper error or more poor defending or as we sit deep for the last twenty minutes we hang on to a draw.
unless santa arrive early and through a bit of christmas magic ;we learn how to kill games off, we learn to do game managment, the midfield learn how to dominate teams and the defence and the kepper stop making schoolboy errors,if all that happens the elfs and santa deserve a bonus payment and Ricketts must have been a very good boy this year..

I don't want us to have to sack Ricketts - doing so is admitting we've failed, that things have gone badly wrong. And there's no guarantee that change now will improve things.
But the numbers just don't look good for him do they - shocking sequence of league results this season, carrying on a not too impressive sequence from the end of last season, albeit one that was cut short. It's also the way we've lost games/points this season that is most alarming.
But blaming bad luck, poor refereeing, individual mistakes....even if true, you can only do that for so long... ultimately the table doesn't lie and for Roland to have invested as heavily as he has done in the current playing squad, in the current climate, and to see us 4 points adrift from safety already ... that won't sit well with him at all.
As Pilch said in the original post, tomorrow is win or bust for Sam. I will be hoping for a win, hoping it might be the start of a turnaround... but I fear the worst sadly.

I want him to lead us to a win. Ghastly individual errors/lapses in concentration have cost us in the last few games, which Sam can't eradicate on the pitch once over the white line. We're due some luck but I just can't see it happening unless our squad are completely focused for 99 minutes!! It feels like it's a good time as any for a new start if we lose tomorrow. FA Cup 2nd round on Saturday, so a free hit. Not!!

It'll be desperately spun otherwise if we don't win and people complain, but I doubt there's anyone who doesn't want us to beat a truly odious outfit competing against us for a relegation place tomorrow, and a non-league team on Saturday for a place in the third round and a much-needed boost to the coffers. Here's hoping.

Given what Ricketts seems to say I wouldn't be that surprised to see the same team again. That being said games are coming thick and fast so makes sense to switch it up, but depends if he is thinking long term or just putting out what he thinks is his best XI.
Despite that im not sure I will be tuning in. Resigned to another loss and not sure I can quite be bothered to spend £10 on it again. Maybe I'll listen in, but even then it's quite painful at the moment. I can certainly think of better things to do on a miserable covid Tuesday

So more changes suggested to the starting eleven? Cummings will be pleased to actually start a game, it's been a while! thats not my predicted side, its the side i'd play if roland gives me the nod next couple of days my predicted side would see walker drop into the back 3 J Daniels come back in, and yes a change up front too, maybe even cummings Would you have Sam as your assistant? Only one I don't agree with is Burgoyne he's got to lose his place after that. Get Daniels in at LWB, Tracy is so hard working I could leave him out Pugh looked lost up front on Saturday, Cummings would be a positive 45 mins then look at half time and sub if needed.

Yep. That would be typical Town. And then another five weeks of waiting to see whether we had turned some corner or not. Only to find we hadn't.

I don"t think Sam is a bad manager or a good one, it's worse he is an unlucky one. The Golfer Gary Player chipped out of a bunker straight across the green and into the hole, he heard a spectator say "that was lucky" to which he replied I practice a hundred bunker shots a day and I make my own luck. Perhaps Sam hasn't got the defence practicing hard enough, not to mention the rest.

If I was Brian/Roland I’d be thinking that the time has come if we fail to win tonight: - a game against non-league opposition for a new interim manager to get off to a winning start. - the return of fans has been confirmed.
