I’ll say it out loud and yes I’ve seen the league table and our points per game blah blah etc.
We won’t go down.
Therefore as much as I’d love to see Warnock on the touch line it should be a long term appointment, get Jones in do whatever it takes.
That's exactly where I am. We'll be fine this year and I want Nathan Jones to be given free reign to do what he wants with our team and let the little Weird Welsh Alchemist do his thing
I’m a bit more concerned than that. We should be fine…But there is a slight concern for me that the squad is really unbalanced and confidence is low. Add a tricky run of games in to that and a fanbase that does not have much patience left and can turn toxic quite quickly. I think Reading away could be a really huge game, a defeat there and I will be really panicking. There are definitely enough winnable games left, most later on in the season though and if we do drop into it after this run does this squad have the mentality to dig in and get out of it by winning those games?
Like, if there's one team to be slightly afraid of catching us, it's surely Carlisle, but even then we're well ahead, and there are other crap teams that could be drawn in. I'm not scared (yet)
Always easier to blame the fans to deflect from valid criticism of decision makers, coaches & players.
You know the people who actually do affect what happens on the pitch.
Have a read of the last ten pages of the summer transfer window thread and see the pelters thrown at those saying they thought it was a poor window for being moany and negative.
We go into Saturday's game with Fletcher and Pearce in charge, the team play well and gain a well deserved victory.
The search for a new manager is ongoing with none of the candidates being thought to be the one but at least one of them while favoured is asking for guarantees that the Owners/SMT are not sure about.
Should the club leave the current management twosome in place for the rest of the season and take time to find the what they consider the right person to take the club forward next season

When Fletch took charge of the Slade prison side did they get a win?

Still find this overconfidence about us being too good to go down crazy. We should be in the bottom three as of now, it's a point deduction the reason why we are not and some suggest either way we are not in the bottom 3 but that isn't the way to look at it. If Blackpool took their chances Saturday, we would have lost that game 4/5-0. We need this new manager asap. If we get this appointment wrong, we will go down.

He only took charge for half the match as he had to take Godbar into the changing rooms when he went off with concussion. Then they got taken hostage & escaped on the coach. Pretty certain Slade prison would have won of Fletch had been there all game.
Absolutely ridiculous and one from the Katrien Meire playbook to say that any fan wants this board to fail. We’re all desperate for them to succeed but can see they’re failing. Big difference.

Cheltenham have been playing very well recently and have 2 games in hand on us. They’ve recently had a lot of tougher games they’ve been unlucky in, but now have a run of games against teams lower in the table. They are the team I’m probably most worried about
All the games coming up are huge, it’s a good job some of you lot are not preparing the team for matches because we might as well start researching travelling arrangements now for all those L2 grounds we’ll be visiting.
I witnessed in the flesh, players fired up last week from the get go and according to reports were upbeat with the result after the game and so they should’ve been. Fleming and Pearce will have built on that this week and the newbies will have had more time to get to know their colleagues and work on a game plan.
There’s a lot of football to be played yet, 51 points up for grabs, new manager incoming and players returning from injury plus another signing or three hopefully. We need half a dozen wins a couple of draws and we’ll be ok.
I’m not a happy clappy fan, far from it but our season won’t end at Reading or by the 1st of March try and look for some positives it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom 😉

So what you're saying is HMS piss the league is still on?

The fact Warnock is being suggested as a potential manager would suggest that the owners are also pretty concerned about the possibility of relegation
To be honest I think it’s more a case of, if they can’t get the “long term” quality candidate they want then a short term quality candidate and there aren’t many of those is the next best thing. I think we’re lucky Warnock is available.

THIS .. as I have typed here before, irrespective of who is appointed or if Fleming /Pearce stay in post til the summer, we have far too good a squad of players, especially after this last window to get relegated
I know Nathan jones has spoken to senior people at the club. Sounded as if it was getting done but I think he is quite demanding about things as he is worried about transfers, squad depth, structure etc
That’s the update I had this morning
He can’t really have a say in transfers given it’s deadline day most deals now would be to far down the line ….. squad depth has improved the ability has got better … Stoke and Southampton fans said he was always wanting more from the owners through out his time at the clubs , he lost it when he did not get it .. started acting very strangely with press interviews , team selections …..
I know, categorically, that most of that is absolute bollox.
Timing is everything in football and the sacking of Appleton happened 2.weeks too late, how can they expect to sign players when they don't know who their boss is.going to be? Happy with the rumoured contenders for the job but ffs get a move on because it's just going to make their job harder.

Fletcher? Who is he?
That’s Golfie’s fault he gave an analogy the other day about abandoning ship with Captain Bligh or Fletcher Christian and looks like Lancs has decided that Fleming is Fletcher 😉

Charlton Athletic are pleased to announce Dave Jones as their new Head coach on a 3 year contract 🤦🏻♂️😱😞
