Rickets takes off Campbell puts on on Payne instead of taking off either Bolton or goldbourne who are not wingers. Our two wingers are both playing as number 10's instead of swapping formation. 🤬 ****ing clueless

Said it on another thread but...
I think I’ve resigned myself to the fact we are going down. The team this year has been poor and I’m not looking at Ricketts, I’m looking squarely at Roland and co who managed to take a team who finished 3rd in the league and put us in the relegation zone the subsequent season. 12 years on and back to league two. 12 years on from the move and it’s the same old story.

Only way to 'hit home' is to stop pumping money into the club. How many 'root and branch' reviews do we need till RW learns.

Only way to 'hit home' is to stop pumping money into the club. How many 'root and branch' reviews do we need till RW learns. When the new ground opened I had a season ticket for a few seasons. The final straw was watching relegation back to League 2 when Roland had blatantly refused to put money into the squad. Since then I only go every few games each season because Roland clearly is sucking the life out of the club. The wolves game at home showed exactly how well placed the club is in a catchment area given our local rivals have all but gone but we aren’t moving forward as a club. It’s doing everything on the cheap. Cheap managers from the lower leagues, cheap players, no investment in maintaining basic things like toilets at the ground. When we went down last time Roland hid for ages before addressing fans directly, but he’s all too happy to come out making big claims about his ambitions for the club when crowds start to dip and it’s the start of a new season. This club is really in decline.

It's all very well grinding out draws like last week at Bristol Rovers, that wasn't a bad result, but unless Ricketts shows far more ambition tactically when playing at home we're not going to get enough points to stay up.

Wouldn't it be funny if Macclesfield and Port Fail stay up, Wrexham come up and Town end up playing them all. Oops No.

I thought it was a good opportunity for Payne turned out he's brilliant at straying offside and may have earned himself a long stay on the bench next time cant really accuse rickets of same tactics here for a forced sub

Slightly off on a tangent but why sign a third keeper on loan and then not even have him on the bench, squad rotation I guess 😂, Derby will be well pleased I’m sure

A bit confused over what kind of game Gillead had. I can understand that injury problems forced the Managers hand. During the match Stuart Dunn on discussing what subs should be made described Gillead as a bit of a passenger and should be the one to go off. SR in his after match comments said Gillead did very well. I highly respect the views of Stuart Dunn but SR is the supposed expert. Its a funny old game.

It's also the view of nearly everyone on here. SR is talking rubbish.

We can’t even hoof it accurately

the failure of this club to appoint an experienced assistant for Rickets is a glaring oversight, just in case anyone thinks this comes from hindsight i mentioned this when i heard an inexperienced manager was going to be appointed.
we have now had 12 games in the league under rickets he has only managed one win out of a possible 36 points we have managed a feeble 9. that is why are bottom of the form table and why we are occupying a relegation place.
clueless is the politest version of a phrase i heard in the ground, his inexperience is there for all to see

You get the feeling he may well have fallen out with Barrow. Rowland and Brian should be asking him if he'd like him on board ? It's not a great solution, but I really can't think of anything else that will solve this problem? The bottom eight all have wins in them somewhere. I wouldn't even right off Wimbledon. Went to the Walsall game last week and they created a hatful of chances!

Now is the time for an assistant to come in.
Someone giving fresh ideas and getting the most out of these players.
Absolute shambles that we don’t have one in place at the moment.
Our inexperienced manager is having to ask our 27 year old first team coach and ex goalkeeping coach for advice.
Ricketts needs an experienced head to tell him where he is going wrong.

I’ll ****ing tell him!!! We’ve got no width!! We played two wingers yesterday, but still had no width?! We need to get back to basics, and do the basics well. Organisation, shape, fight, work rate. You can’t get much more basic than 4-4-2. Ditch these s**tty new fangled formations - THEY ARE NOT WORKING! Choose a team, choose a simple formation, put players in their proper positions and stick to it for more than half a game!! ...................Mitchell Bolton...Williams...Waterfall...Haynes Whalley..Grant...Docherty....Gilliead ........Okenabihrie...Campbell

I thought yesterday's line up was shambolic but Rickets was very short of options at wing back and particularly midfield. We played three centre backs, which I quite like given our weaknesses there, but you then have to play two wingbacks surely. Goldbourne can't do it, Bolton is OK there but had no help from Whalley who had a free role.
Due to our lack of a midfield we failed to retain possession and were forced deep and effectively played six at the back. Surely Grant was not needed to protect the defence when we have three CB's and 2 FB's As it was we were over run in midfield and created nothing going forward. Given his lack of options and the need for all three points, it would have been an opportunity to go 4:4:2 Ã nd take the game to Burton with two wingers and two strikers. Still a point's a point I suppose.
Our current predicament was tailor made for Dave Edwards to come in, show his experience and class and steady the ship. What happens? He plays when not fit and lasts 5 minutes. Four weeks later he comes on as a sub and gets a straight red after 5 minutes and he's out for another 3 weeks. Really not what we needed.!!!
I still think we are good enough to stay up but we need some inspiration from somewhere. As things stand we seem to be sleepwalking to 4th Tier football.

Remember Mellon’s last season? He played with no wingers. He was trying to be too clever in my opinion. Hurst comes in , back to basics with a 4-4-2 and look what it did for us. Shaun Whalley is one of the best wingers in the league, I cannot believe that we aren’t building a team , that would suit him. (I also think Campbell could be up there with Whalley, he could be a great asset on the left wing for us).
