    Russell Slade

    That's correct, on paper there is no one else out there with a cv and levels of experience he's shown and with limited funds done reasonably well in a long managerial career. It's proving to be the job that he cannot fix sadly. The new transfer rules this season mean it's a totally different...

    Chav's....? Care to elaborate, quite a statement that.

    Because getting a striker in January for a club bottom of the league potless is like nipping out to Tesco's ain't it and selecting one. There's not many about.

    And if JFH had of took the job he'd find himself in the same position as RS. It's still fundamentally a squad that's very fragile, young, not strong enough and more importantly not mentally strong enough after the November and December we had. That was the nail in the coffin as we all said at...

    I partly agree with you on some players as there confidence and desire may be higher due to the winning streak in the cup... however we've not played any team to note in the competition mainly other kids in there u23 sides with respect. They ain't playing against the more hardened season 6ft...

    I still feel if you was to give him a summer to build a squad on frees to take on league two he'd get a very competitive side of "his players" something so very hard to do in January. League two is even more physical and crap football on crap pitches in some old fashioned grounds that this...

    Russell Slade

    Seems things turn sour very quickly... and most now want him gone. He's not been given the luck from the gods with the results with the "new manager bounce theory" and undoubtedly the performance lately have been very poor. That said....No other manager out there would of produced anything...

    So much so he made a bigger impact than Burge with his hands!

    I think he signed a 2 year deal in April. I'd have him on the bench Tuesday but I'd not be in hurry to have him in the 1st team. Don't be in a rush to spoil him just yet and saddle the burden and negative cloud around the 1st team now.

    I'm all for using some of our kids from our academy but we've got a few in and around the squad now and there not big enough in height and physicality. Burge I'd bin... from Monday morning. Willis, sell. Harries, be sold Haynes, winger not a LB. squad player. DKE shows commitment and is...

    The bigger problem for me is this summer and finding stability with a manager before may. The retained list I think needs to be presented in may, and work on assembling the new squad needs starting at the earliest opportunity as we don't want to end up in the same position as last summer.

    Lee Burge

    Burge.... what the hell was he doing for the 1st. Highlights make him look worse, the 2nd a tame shot that he spilled as usual like for the corner he conceded for there 1st goal. Distribution poor. Has to be dropped! * forgot the walk about episode when he didn't no if to stay or go... he went!

    Russell Slade

    I was hoping RS would be the messiah... very much looks unlikely now. I'll hold my hands up! However his cv was the best out there at the point we were in need of a manager as MV was completely looking out his depth and killed the players of confidence by saying in a interview that they were...

    I'd really clear out the decks... I don't see the I'd bleed for the club and any hurt in them even some of our own kids. We need "men" as the quote of the season goes, mentally strong players. Its not gonna be pretty football at any league 2 ground next year, horrible muddy pitches with a few...

    I was hoping Reid would give a bit of treat down the wing... no sign of anything from him. Another who looks like he don't want to be here and no desire to impact a game. If Haynes is to be offered a new deal and accept then he needs to be given a chance to develop as a winger

    League one

    Our transfer business needs to start in April, and for me clear the decks and build again. Our squad is not physically or mentally strong enough to compete.

    Very true... the manager always takes the flack. But it is in fact the players that are accountable for there contributions for each half. You can brief a player all you want, prepare a team all week and ultimately if the player don't give 100% to the cause and makes mistakes, switches off...

    Of the starting team today baring loans I'd only have Clarke and Beavon in my starting 11 in league 2. You could make a case for George Thomas but he's not a right winger, and I want a goal scorer up top so don't make my 11 Haynes needs to be a winger too

    League one

    It's a size, desire and ability for me and a goal scorer. The amount of 6'3+ giants I've seen in this league is unreal, we look so lightweight against them. Again today proved that with most our attacking play when we did decide to go down each wing. To echo other comments I've not seen anyone...

    It's no wonder there was no money given in January to strengthen look at our last 2 purchases however the money was sourced from the kitty.... JJ and Turnbull, both shocking. There's something in the fact that 30 odd scouts were watching JJ at Dagenham and we won the race.... I'm struggling to...
