  • Fans will very quickly become positive when positive results are shown not talked about. 
  • A question on a scenario:

    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?

    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
    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.

    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)
    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 😉

    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.

    The input of anyone ITK is much appreciated and the reason these threads keep going. 
    If they could leave out their wonky, paranoid analysis of the mindset of other supporters, that would be the dream.

    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

    Please stop saying ' we wont go down'

    We aint won in 15, have a very difficult Feb and the whole place could be in pieces by March!
    It’s a forecast that has to be done though.  That opinion surely decides our entire managerial appointment.

    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.

    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 😉
  • Fletcher - Fleming does it really matter, I think the majority of you know what I meant but couldn't be bothered to answer my question.

    I really get fed up with this site at times and now is one of those times

    If the choice is between Nathan Jones and Andy Scott still keeping his responsibilities.

    The correct choice is pretty obvious to me.

    People seem to be saying Warnock is only good in a relegation fight but he’s got a good promotion record too. I’d go for Jones personally but Warnock wouldn’t be just looking at the next 6 months
