No read my previous reply. I want to see the attitude tomorrow. Do they think it’s all over like we do or do they have enough pride in the shirt to give it’s good go. you might as well vote out now, thats what your aim is isn't it we are now safe but its seems you are not happy with that so you'll give sam another opportunity to let you down tomorrow how the attitude of the players is tomorrow will in my opinion decide on if that player should be here next season, not the manager I've voted yes. I did so based on a belief he is a thinker and has potential. Also, all managers need time and he deserves a chance with his own squad. But he is also inexperienced and has a lot to prove. If a respected poster on here decides to wait until the end of the season before voting then it seems eminently sensible to me. Probably more sensible than voting now in fact. In any event, no one on here should be questioning our right to vote when we want or how we vote or indeed if we vote at all.

Not one fan on this Board is disappointed with today's results.
To suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

Ricketts should stay and everyone should get behind him 100%. I don't think he's had the full backing of the fans at any point since he arrived.
We've had some poor results and some very good results, and also had a decent cup run. Ultimately it looks as though we're safe with a couple of games to spare. In my opinion its been an ok season.
What were people expecting? You can't just sack manager after manager, forking out shed loads of compensation money, hoping that someone finally comes in and performs miracles as Hurst did. Football doesn't work like that, especially not at League One level.

Aye, let him get on with it, we can't keep sacking managers. Let's have a bit of continuity at the club.just been watching Norwich, and what a good young team they've got, and there lies the key, get some good young hungry players in, and I think we'll do well next season

I have no idea whether Sam Ricketts will turn out to be a brilliant, average or useless manager; but I am glad I have a club willing to give a young manager a chance. Who learnt anything without making mistakes? I’m quite happy to look forward to next season with the current management team.

Anyone who was at Gillingham or Barnsley would say Sam has worked miracles compared to performances earlier in the season. The problem at Town is a minority of supporters who cannot understand that we will not win every week and start to turn on the players and manager. No wonder our better performances recently have been away from home. Awful performances, awful decisions happen at all levels, not easy to take as a fan, but sacking seems to become the default poison of some. Please give Sam a real chance.

It’s a gamble to continue with this chap, but I think we have to give him a proper pre-season with his own signings. if thats the gamble , what is the sure bet ? No such thing Mr Pilch as you well know 😜😜

We need a period of stability. The reality is that, though we should of course have ambitions to be in the Championship, last season was an anomaly as far as the last five (or should that be 30?) years go. There's no reason not to keep an open mind on Ricketts. And I say that as someone who was at Blackpool away and Rochdale away.
Stay.

I’d love for him to be in charge next season and for it to work out. We should stick with him because:
He kept us up when we looked doomed after the Plymouth game. His contacts in the game will be a massive advantage picked up from Hull, Bolton, Wolves even Coventry. He’s obviously handing out contract offers a month before the season ends despite us not being safe at the time. We always complain we should be doing this! I don’t want us to become a sacking club. He deserves to bring in his own players as I’m happy with the signings of Campbell, Williams, Golbourne, Mitchell even Vincelot before he got injured. Roland would probably replace with a young League 2/Conference manger anyway. Giving youth a chance in Sears - Hopefully will do the same with Barnett and Eisa next season. He has got a good settled backroom staff all behind him. But most important of all I see massive potential in this team and manager if we can keep hold of certain players - Waterfall, Williams, Bolton, Grant, Edwards, Norburn, Okenabirhie. That’s a good spine and if we can fill the gaps with quality signings I’d expect us to be in the top half next season..

there is going to to be a spectrum of opinions and everyone is entitled to a voice and express there opinion. that is a point of a forum about a team we all love ,we may have different views on how the team play , what happened in the game how the manager tactics worked or did not work and how the club is run. so why not agree to disagree on some points without haranguing someone who's view you might not share.
lets try to focus on; we all support this club ,we all love this club , we all wont to see the club succeed and progress.

I wonder who they think we'd get instead
imagine if we sacked him today and ended up in the same s**t position as we were in this time last season
the same fans have been calling for less changes and stability for months

It's like solskjaer at utd, everyone seems to be calling for his head.give the boys a chance to get there own players in, get the fitness levels and team spirit right, and see where we go from there.just got a funny feeling Sammy the shrew will do well next season, the same feeling as when Hurst came in

Football is a business and personal issues should parked when looking at the bigger picture of the good of the club. One of the reasons I advocate the return of Hurst is that he comes with Doig and a tried and tested successful partnership. The only slack I can cut Ricketts is that he needs a good assistant alongside him at this stage of his career to help out. Ole Gunnar at Utd is way out of his depth but at least he’s got Micky Phelan in to help him out which was an excellent move. Having said that I don’t think Ricketts will be going anywhere and will be here next season and as Micky Mellon used to say ‘ we go again’

Looking forward to a decent season after a settled and well organised pre season. Its all well and good getting to the play offs as we did last season but the shorter pre season break doesn't half play havoc with the planning for the next season especially when your manager does the dirty on you. Everything was done in a rush with the appointment of a new manager who in turn was rushed into bringing in certain new players who were not up to it. It was always going to be a poor season. Feel that we are now in a position to push on with a settled management team who will work hard for us and get us a top ten finish.

Yes from me. Ricketts has made mistakes but has kept us in L1 in no less a convincing way than Hurst in his first season. Remember what happened next. The key to next season will be the goalkeeper signing and how the defence is built. If we could secure Campbell for another season, that would be an amazing bonus.

He kept us up when we looked doomed after the Plymouth game. His contacts in the game will be a massive advantage picked up from Hull, Bolton, Wolves even Coventry. The counter arguments to that are (1) he got us into that position after the Plymouth game having inherited a side seven points clear of the bottom four and (2) his contacts so far haven't looked that impressive, in the plus column he has Williams and the loan of Campbell but there are more in the minus column than in the plus column.

All competitors Askey win rate P21 W5 23.8% Ricketts win rate P30 W8 26.7%
Askey also had games against Salford, Man City kids and Tranmere, whilst Ricketts had 2 games each against Stoke and Wolves and even won one one of them.
He’s improves the team we should definitely stick with him.

That's a very marginal improvement, if that fills you with confidence fine I'm afraid it doesn't for me. As I said in my initial post of the thread, he'll be in charge at the start of next season. So the discussion is all a bit academic anyway.

There are several ways to look at this.
When SR got here we were 7 points clear of the bottom 4. The chances are we will stay up on goal difference.
He's here and that's that until RW, or whoever decides otherwise. But, I can see why folk are sceptical about him.

I can entirely understand why people aren't convinced and if I could go back in time, I still wouldn't pick him to replace Askey. I don't think he's done badly enough to be sacked though, even if our relative improvement comes from where he had dragged us down to.
There are some green shoots in there and I just hope that he's learned a lot from his time here and has the chance to build on the good, young core that we have. I think we're not that far off being a decent side and in 80% of games recently have been showing that. A little continuity can be valuable.
