Think you will have the majority agreeing with you.
All since Lincoln and the Northampton game.
We were crap before but we kept getting away with it.
Found out?

the football is awful and the tactics are naive and results in not just awful entertainment but also losing football. flynn has been brilliant for us but should not escape criticism and I think he has been find out. we need Lennie to help more and use his experience

“We need Lennie to help more and use his experience” ? Really?

yeah this will be a first for flynn while Lennie has seen it all before so needs to step in.

And you don’t think Lennie is helping already? What do you think he’s doing then, having a jolly day out? Behave.

Ffs Corky, change Flynn to pretty much every manager in football and you’ll hear the same shit spoken to the press week in week out.
You obviously don’t rate Flynny, so who would you like to see come in to change our fortunes?

Paul Tisdale

The same Paul Tisdale that had Exeter firmly rooted at the bottom of the table just over 3 years ago.
That was a pretty bad run they had

Just read Flynny in the Argus.
What a load of Tosh.
1 corner late in the game.
1 shot at the dying end on target and he says we improved and competed well.

Yes but he got them out of it , got MKD promoted and had Exeter playing football , not hoofball.
Ok he had a bad time this year at MKD and got sacked but with his track record of finding players and selling them for £millions (Grimmes , Watkins and Stockley to name three ) certainly helped Exeter out , who IMO are about the same sized club as us

You should read up on Exeter before offering them up as same sized club, perhaps look at their beneficial terms of ground occupancy, joint ventures with Developers and councils, student accommodation benefits, league status and longevity, then ask yourself would Tisdale have achieved more here than MF, with the budget and infrastructure we had/have, compared to Exeter?

Changing the manager isn’t always the answer , but changing the recruitment process might be , our squad looks old and hasn’t evolved.

Who is responsible for signing players?

After 122 games, this is our longest run of consecutive EFL defeats under Mike Flynn.

I have said this on other threads. This bad run was bound to happen because it happens to every manager. The test for Flynn is how he responds.

Thus far he has taken the normal route, firstly say that the poor performances were unlucky, or we're improving or a bad day at the office and when that fails, blame the players.

He may learn, some do or he may go the way of the majority of managers in football who disappear altogether. Time will tell.

Quite why Foxy and Wardy saw fit to give him a pay rise after the Lincoln fiasco is beyond me. It has always been a mystery to me why others failed to see that at the time. Perhaps now they do.
