So the team is not capable of putting in a full 90 minute shift then Sam?
Playing for only 50-60 minutes is not good enough, we need much more than that if we are to avoid relegation.

The first thing Sam has to do is get some Head and Shoulders! His dandruff looks shocking in that photo!

There's no way a club of our size with the ground, training facilities and bank balance should be bouncing between the 3rd and 4th tier, but it's what Roland likes to do. We should be established in the 3rd tier by now. The club is horribly mismanaged.
If we go down again (Which is highly likely) i think the attendances will be seriously affected this time round as there's simply no exucse for getting it this badly wrong after last season. To clarify, i didn't expect promotion or to win the league or anything daft, but 10th - 14th should have been easy enough.
We've spent a lot of money this season on players. Last season heroics had no positive effect on this season. I'm pretty sure the reason we were able to spend a lot of money this time around was based on last seasons success. The sale to Ipswich was because two players had stand out seasons. Not really what to take from your post or what your trying to say... Te managers have been backed yes, I think the issue people have is those who have been appointed as manager. neither having any managerial experience at this level. Why is it optimistic in asking a manager to put together a side that can compete at this level, are you suggesting we were down before a ball was kicked because of the ins and outs before the season got underway. I'm sure there are plenty of managers out there who have faced as many if not more changes to a squad but have got their side to click. That really shouldn't be beyond any manager within the professional game. And forget about last season, we're not even talking about reaching anywhere near that standard...we are simply talking about a standard that would see us safe and away from the relegation zone. Some just like to moan? Yeah, that tends to happen with the season we're having. Not sure if you've noticed but we're pants, onto our second manager, dropping like a stone, now very much in a relegation scrap...despite spending a lot of money on players.

I'd imagine that if we lose again to Burton (we have twice already this season), then the comparisons as to how well they've done in recent seasons with limited resources and low crowd attendances compared to ourselves will be back on the agenda.

I doubt Docherty will be available but if he was then I would think about including him and Norburn into the centre with Whalley and one other in a 4-4-2. I think Norburn has come on a bit the last couple of games. If Docherty is available I'd go with the pair of them in the middle...

15 games to go. We have to assume the manager and his various assistants have now worked out what system best suits our squad. The players appear to be finally waking up to the situation (?) None of the teams in this league are of the quality of Wigan / Blackburn last season - I'm still scratching my head as to how Luton are at the top and Barnsley..........Barnsley?!? .......we spanked.
3-4-3 for the rest of the season. Defence as last week. Whalley and Fey behind Stefan Payne, with all three of them moving non-stop. Change any two on 65-70 mins Our two full bacs playing wide in a 4 man midfield and doing the part of the game they do well i.e. attacking (both are average at best when defending and not good when standing still) Beckles given licence to step forward with the ball at every opportunity to spread general panic in the opposition (partly because he likes doing this and partly because he needs a bit of confidence )....... then take him off with 10 to go to a standing ovation and the tall lad can come on and score from final corner.
Basically just keep the ball on the floor and run at them constantly. No team in this league can cope with that and we have the players to do it.
10 wins in last 15 is entirely do-able Breathe on 'em Salop.

We've spent a lot of money this season on players. It's not like the managers haven't been backed. Not really, £600k across 10+ players when we've recouped £4m in player sales and add odds alone, not to mention Hurst compensation, Wembley twice, cup runs, play-offs and more.

I would like to think that with Norburn stepping up we might be OK with Norburn and Docherty in the middle. I think whilst Norburn has come on of late Grant seems to be flagging a tad and whatever we're trying at the moment doesn't seem to be working. So whilst it's great to have a player in Grant providing protection to the back four I do wonder whether that has to be abandoned in order to get things happening at the other end of the park. It's not working at the minute looking to our run of results, we have to try something different I reckon...

Happy with that lineup..
That’s he exact back 5 I’ve been hoping for and I don’t think it’s the end of the world okenbirhie taking a rest . Whalley Campbell Gilliead will offer plenty of pace and hopefully less long ball rubbish

We’ve gone from having an endless amount of centre mids, to not being able to field one on the bench?!
Top scorer on the bench? Why not try playing to his strengths- on the floor?!
And no Mitchell in the squad, never mind the starting XI?

Arguably its going back to the formation that was successful last year, but seems a very light weight front line for town. Unless we can get hold of the ball and pass to feet there is a danger our front three will see very little of the ball. Distribution from the back can't be the long ball or we are in trouble, and with Beckles and Waterfall in there that's going to be hard to avoid
Injuries and suspensions also leaves the bench looking a bit thin. Long afternoon ahead
