We were top of the league , lost two players who were here on loan and we have imploded since then because he didnt replace them. He got rid of our top scorer , hardly plays with our second highest and is insisting on playing Maynard and A N Other because we are paying an absolute fortune for him, even though he has failed to solve the problem of us having no creativity in the side since Twine left

How much has he wasted on players he hasnt played since making the money over the past few seasons?
Maynard isnt cheap either , how much is he costing us until the end of the season( £15/20k) ? 1 goal in 4 now isnt it for him...Why ? Lack of service
We could have Messis and look awful because we have no creativity and give the strikers no service.
FGR home , 1 shot on target , 2 corners very few crosses put into the area, hopeful shooting from 25/30 yards
Exeter against 9 men and we still couldnt create any chances for the strikers until the last few minutes.

His answer , take off our three strikers and try another 3 in their places

How can anybody argue with this statement?

sure you will out there though.

Managers.

we want attractive Football all say yes.

Best football I ever saw from County was under Bobby Evans, brilliant but we finished bottom and he got the heave ho, but we still beat Brentford 6-0 away. tremendous but totally frustrating.

I would say that would be the last time that we completed a season - 2018/19.
August to October we were doing really well, November to mid-March was awful the he turned it around with an excellent run through until we lost the playoff final (12 matches unbeaten).
Last season we had just reached that mid-March turning point when the season was curtailed.
We are 3 weeks from it now.

Maybe unlikely but who knows?

My apologies as you are totally correct here.

MF seems as though he is unsackable to some on here because of what he did in the 2016/17 season.

I know I'm going to get banned for this, hopefully permanently, but you want to wind your neck in you [redacted]

Mike Flynn has given you some purpose in an otherwise sorry existence. We were top of the league 7 weeks ago, 3rd round of the FA cup basically every season, plum ties for you to dine out on.

You should show some appreciation.

Stow Hill Sid wrote:Yes, recent performances, and results, have been dire but I think it would be madness to remove Mike Flynn at this time.

My main reasons are:

a) Our league position is still pretty good (7th with two games in hand over the team at the top);
b) Even if performances don't improve we should be safe this season;
c) MF has turned it around before. I think he will again;
d) I think our drop in form has more to do with the players we have lost, and the state of the pitch, than our manager's ability;
e) I doubt we'd get anyone better;

We already have 44 points,there would have to be a serious betting fraud to investigate for us to be relegated from here.

I know why he has been banned but what he wrote doesn't mean a thing to me so I hope posters don't think I made any kind of complaint about it.
Even what he wrote and the way he did it is fine by me as he is entitled to his views.
So he doesn't agree with me and my views....... So be it, that's life.......
I do however worry for posters like him to get themselves so wound up they have tunnel vision about THEIR VIEWS that they revert to abuse as a way of continuing their arguement



Even when we were top I still doubted our ability to stay there, keep challenging for promotion and whether we are ready to be promoted, that was before we have started our current abysmal run of 1 win in 12 games I don't think he is the right man in charge of our club.
I believe from what I hear and read that MF may be a very good man manager but I don't believe he has the tactical nous or ability to take any further than he has. That's why I call for him to be replaced

And who is available right now who can do both aspects, can get results on the worst pitch in the country outside the transfer window and wouldn't just be yet another failed manager on the merry-go-round? Ridiculous.

I take your view and agree with your analysis in as far as I wouldn't sack Flynn now.

Where I disagree with you is your use of ridiculous. At what point do you believe that results and performances would demand a change of manager? If you believe not this season, which is my position, just, then if we carry on as we are would you entrust Flynn with the summer transfer window?

My fear is that the structure of and lack of infrastructure at the club may well prove fatal whoever is the manager.

Danny Cowley, Sol Campbell, Paul Tisdale, Padraig Amond and JAYNE LUDLOW (there's a curved ball thrown into the mix) that's without even thinking about who's available

OK the pitch is fecked, the transfer window is closed, (unemployed players can still be signed) but we are financially OK, I assume, as MF was allowed to sign Maynard.
I say get a new man/woman in as they can assess what he/shes got, work out what he /she needs, who he/she wants to keep for next season so he /she can start the new season in August
What's ridiculous about that?

That's what I like about some on here..... turn to abuse as a form of debate because they don't agree /like other posters views.

At this level for a club with our resources I would contemplate it only if there were a very real threat of relegation. Hence the suggestion is ridiculous. I'm happy to trust him with the next window. We should have a new playing surface with a better shelf-life than the current one.

Cardiff fans probably thought that when Mick Mccarthy was appointed... He's been OK for them so far with 6 wins and a draw out of 8 games
Ridiculous appointment

If you read my post fully I stated that I believe he hasnt got the tactical ability to take us any further, that's why I want a change. That's why I wouldn't continue with him... That's why I wouldn't give him more time..

OK he says until the end of the season, loses far more than he wins and draws and we finish mid to lower mid table, which I can see us doing. He would be in the position to decide who to offer new contracts too
If he was replaced then the new manager could be left with players they don't want or fit their plans... More money and time wasted as they try to off load them

This George is why you end up rowing with people of intelligence.

'I would contemplate it only if there were a very real threat of relegation...' which a perfectly proper response because it is your view. But it is your subjective view.

You then say 'Hence the suggestion is ridiculous.'

So there we have it. The logic of GSB. A suggestion which does not agree with George's view is ridiculous.

And there's them as think I'm arrogant.

Have to say Neil, I don’t agree with your view of MF being sacked. No abuse from me though.

My view, he got us in to this present mess, he can get us out of it. Having said that, the pitch has had a big part to play in our recent free fall. MF cannot be responsible for that. However, he is responsible for motivating the players to want to play on it. At the moment, I don’t think they do want to. That is MF problem. Good luck to him.

Our recent bad performances go hand in hand with the deterioration of the pitch. Winter, rain, drainage, lack of grass. All out of MF control.

Sacking MF would not solve anything. The dire pitch would still be the same. What half decent manager would want to come in and tout his business on that bog anyway.

The other day I was dejected about our performance against FGR and I wasn’t really looking forward to Walsall tonight. Nowt new for me there as a County fan, it’s happened before and it will happen again. However, this morning I find I am looking forward to Walsall. I want a win obviously, but of more importance is a performance on a better pitch. If we can do that, there is hope.

Keep faith in MF. TINA at the moment imo. The pitch will still be there. Unfortunately.
