Just for some balance - that greedy bloke also gave Shrewsbury one of the most successful and enjoyable seasons (barring the end obviously) in their history. like I said, fans accept boring football if you win, I didn't think it was fun taking the ball into the corner with best part of 10 minutes of the games left, I often moaned about it as did those around me, yes its forgotten when you win, it was a strange season, but if your best mate runs off with your misses, would you want him back and keep looking at the good times ? ;-) I know you’re good at going over old posts, how many of yours can you find after a victory in the Hurst era where you slated us for holding the ball in the corner? 😉 I’d call it clever game management (I think that’s the latest buzz phrase?) when trying to secure 3 points. However. When you’re wasting time, whilst drawing 1-1 at home, against a side that sit below you in the league and have one away once in the league all season, that is just sheer negativity.

This thread goes on, but the clues in the title, Not now obviously. Take advantage of what, unless things really turn, is a free pass to stay in League 1 this year and see if Ricketts can develop into the next Fergy.

I know, I mean who would have guessed that fans of a team challenging for promotion could have a slightly more positive outlook than a team sliding down the league, who haven't won in months and are struggling to score goals

At home v 17th placed MK Dons for a 1-1 draw
V
Away v favourites for the league Wigan, on Boxing Day, which was the third of 5 games in 15 days. The other four games being against Blackpool, Portsmouth, Southend and Oldham - all of which we won. 13 points out of a possible 15.
Good comparison that one!! 👍🏻

Pilch: Do you not remember that time in the treble winning season when Ferguson set the team up for a draw away at Arsenal! Exactly the same thing!

That game against MKD in the Hurst season was the last game of the regular season where we could not do a thing about our league position & the next match was the Play-Off semi-final against Charlton. I was there. We were hardly going to bust a gut or risk injuries ahead of the Charlton game

The moaners always respond but the silent majority of non-respondents can see small shoots to a better future. We frequently have had similar threads about RW and BC, but again most of us are thankful for what they do for our club. People wanting SR out are barking back to Hurst, who gave us a good season but than laughed in our faces. The same people are forgetting how bad we became underMellon in L1. Hopefully 20/21 will see a more level financial playing field in L1 and if that is the case, I fully expect us to be in the top half of the table at the end.

despit losses of £2 million town are going to be in a stronger finacial position than the majority of teams in our league, with reduced revenue from sales tickets all sensible clubs will be carefull with there spending and a bit back there were hints of players facing wage cuts,so it is a new world and players may struggle to get clubs all of which gives astute managers the opportunity to strengthen squads .all of which depends on what funds ricket has available. i am not a fan of Ricketts style of football but near the end of the season he did start to change the line up and why rock the boat let us see what he can do this season.12 games in will give us a chance to see what kind of squad we have and if ricketts has reverted to boring everyone behind the ball risk averisive football. also there will be no excuse for cummings not to be fully fit

But your post has just reminded me that he did kinda look to loosen the strings a little just before the season was put on hold. I think that was because he was starting to feel the heat after some pretty poor football entertainment wise and the embarrassment at Anfield. I wonder if he thinks we have forgotten about that and it'll be back to "Rickettsball" or whether he'll continue being a little more adventurous. Lets hope the latter.

In his interview with Stuart Dunn and Ryan Jervis at the supporters awards do last week, he made reference to wanting and needing to be a bit more attacking. The last 10 mins or so on YouTube if you want to see for yourself.

Would he walk away?
He seems like a thoroughly decent chap. He’s knows it’s not working and surely he can see he can’t turn it around. It might be a bad career move, but surely even if he keeps us up he’ll be looking for a new job in the summer.

Ricketts started off the same as every other holder of the post, full support and hope that he was successful. However, it is true to say that I very quickly realised [as did a good number of others] that this was a manager wracked with fear in terms of selection, tactics and ambition. Football wise he is clearly unsuited for this role at this time , lots saw that, you very clearly didn’t. The only manager who inspired me to give up watching live football for the first time in my life. I’ll accept your point about Hurst as I have no recollection of the context. No doubt you will enlighten me.

Before Ricketts was appointed my view was and still is that a quality manager should have been appointed. At the time there were managers that would have relished the chance to take Salop forward. I remember the appointment taking a long time and Caldwell saying.... we need to appoint the right person. I still feel we have quality players at the club. It needs someone who has the experience and know how to use those players in the right way. To do that Roland will have to pay and not penny pinch.
