My point is how can notts county , having spent nothing ...seemingly put together a squad capable of a playoff challenge .
even swindon have only spent 300k , i mean come on its pittance
Everyone understands that under SISU the 'success' we can achieve in the long term is limited, it's a given and you don't need to state it or keep depressingly jabbering on about it. The fact is with this squad of players Pressley SHOULD be doing MUCH better. The people crying about losing our 'best' players and therefore not ever being able to do anything, are you oblivious to the fact that this happens at every level of football and to the best sides? We HAVE replaced Wilson and co with adequate replacements as this league is of a ridiculously low standard.
Squad good enough to be doing much better? Certainly.
Adequately replaced Wilson? With who?
Nouble, Madine and Jackson in my personal opinion. None of them may currently be on Wilson's level, however for this league they are good enough to replace him. Tbh Madine is technically a much better footballer than Wilson.
Jackson is poor, worse than Stephen Elliot.

I dont know they seem pretty similar ..high work rates not much end product . Again though the service to the strikers this season has been way below what it should beOur opinions of Jackson differ, but to bring Lord God Sleeves into the debate is farcical. That brace against MK for deems all the other mediocre performances irrelevant.
Your OP is whats lazy. Lets not look at the real issue, lets blame the manager.

Sympathise with the despondency about things atm...as recently as 2yrs ago I felt after watching & reading about the performances - a certain level of optimism. Saying things like "someone is gonna get a spanking off us soon"...but I don't feel any of that anymore.
I disagree on the Walsall comparison - we are on a pretty similar shoestring & they would've been 3 point fewer than us last season after re-applying the 10pt deduction...but we had a stronger squad last season than this IMO. Walsall have some good runs when everyone is fit & available, but low strength in depth.
So all-in-all given where we are with finance & squad, I think 0-0 at home this season against a Walsall side with 11pts from their last 15 including yesterday is a reasonably good result!
I can't see how the man that got us rocking so well for most of last season (we faded towards the end as play-off hopes lessened) can himself be suddenly so poor. So my thoughts would be to let him carry on - save on some severance payouts & spend it on strengthening the squad!!!

Its all well and good ranting "Pressley out" but who would replace him?
People aren't exactly queueing up to take the job on are they?

There's no job vacancy to queue for.
If we didn't have a manager, there would be a host of applicants as there is with any professional club at any time.
Under robins it was starting to work - we'd have been in a far better place.

Care to name them? Which ones do you recomend?

You realise how petty this is right? There would be applicants because that's how football works and always has. We're not a special case.
Not on Wilsons level but technically better?

Put his name forward when Pressley was hired and that's Derek Adams. Sacked by Ross County after a bad start this season but had an excellent record bringing the club up to the top flight and establishing them in it. Still 39, without a club and unlike Pressley didn't go into every game trying to contain the opposition. Well regarded up here.
Not a bad shout.
I'd like to see Graham Alexander come back to his home city ,doubt he's walk away from his current employer though for obvious reasons .
not to sure what his Style Is or whether It would go down well currently ,but a winner In every sense of the word.
