He will need to show in the next five games that he is up to the job or we face a long summer of disappointment and relegation.

So who’s the magic coach who’s going to fix it.

Why don’t you just get behind the lad and support him, I know it’s not what people like you do but give it a go.

He most certainly will have to prove himself but relegation has been haunting us for years, Applegarth didn’t bring that with him. The team has been decaying for years and you know it.

No coach not just Applegarth was going to turn that around in four games.

If you want a classic example just look at Hull, hugely experienced coach, money to burn and allowing Salford to stuff them. You’re argument is is as poor as ever.

We had a coach last season who proved himself with the results but not good enough for you and the board. They were quick to replace, one day I believe why ?. I do support the club but unfortunately they appear to believe that by doing so you must never question their actions. I know relegation has been a possibility for the last few seasons but still your friends keep trimming the squad to a point that relegation is all but certain.
I hope you can explain how we cover the loss of the Sky money, reduced supporter number and service the loan on the ground. I look forward to your argument pointing out how this is possible.
With regards the current coach I did say the next five games which will equate to a third of the season. I suppose we should not expect a win but should settle for maybe actually scoring.

I get the feeling that Prince Andrew could have been named the new coach and you would have been happy with the appointment and think that Carter/Minnards were doing a good job.

I get the feeling you're out to lunch.

Hang on.
Are you trying to imply you were supportive of Poching because I seem to remember that very differently.

Sorry but he didn't.
There was some absolute dross played under Willie last season and relegation looked odds on till player power took over!
I was gutted for Willie but I don't think he or FC saved the club.
I feel for MA because he's lost our only recognised FB, we have no SO of SL standard (so far) and two forwards (KT and Bowden) are missing. Our 'star' winger is out and some players are underperforming. No wonder we're struggling.
God knows how we get out of it, but I tend to agree with others that there's probably no coach in SL who could do better with the players we have available.

Agree about getting rid of Poaching 42% win record , was bringing in younger players These Coaches have destroyed the work Poaching was doing ,and left us with no attacking spine ,and a old team .When the hot weather comes and teams get up to full speed can see some right pastings coming our way

Re: Stadium and other issues : Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:39 am  

We will certainly be in a sticky situation if we are relegated that's for sure.

There are more than likely coaches who could do a better job, the question is would they want come here in the first place.

As much as I like WP and felt he got a bit of a raw deal, there was little good work done in reality. He brought in one young player in Corey Hall, MA has brought in Proctor who is over 30, but then Arona and Fifita left to balance the age..
