Just a small list of some of the available managers i can think of off the top of my head: Graham Potter (never happen) Chris Hughton, Michael Appleton (oh God no), Neil Critchley, Michael Beale (that narcissist? No way!)

This.

Only bit of your post I couldn't agree with is giving him another week. I just don't see the point.

Probably blind sentiment. 

I know he's in an untenable position and it's probably best for all parties that he moves on but I still want him to succeed.

On that note, I need a drink 😄

Charles, Schon and Tomo are like kids playing against adults, yet one time a good striker beats him to the ball after a cross we could only dream about, and he's the bad 'un.

Well I don't disagree with any of that either. Charles as the focul point is painful.

And Santos, it's more infuriating he does the hard stuff but can't do the routine!

I wasn't looking forward to this game this week. Not had this feeling for a long time. System has been sussed. Press, harry, compress the wings, wait for the mistake and attack. We need to grind out a result somewhere, a boring draw perhaps. Invite the opposition to attack and to see if we can press and counter attack them. Systems out the window and choose an eleven to battle like hell. Managers like Greaves, Allardyce and Rioch were masters at this. Also, crossing and set pieces are dire lets start from there.

People saying it's only 5 games are missing that the shit performances have been since January. Had more than enough opportunity to go up automatically but fucked those up, scraped through to Wembley almost fucking up against Barnsley then the royal fuck up at Wembley.

We won 3 out of 4 in January, and played great v Luton twice, so either December (2 defeats) or Feb!  Still didn't lose in Feb till 24th (Blackpool).  Results in 1st half of season were consistent with 2nd half - beat most teams but fail in bigger games, with home defeats like Bristol & Carlisle thrown in.  The under achieving, if we want top 2, has been going on since the 4th match of last season but we were propped up by the kind fixtures, which made people fall for the "fact" that we were a top 2 team.  We never, ever were.  0-4 to Wigan and the other pre Christmas defeats told us all that but it was ignored until the tougher fixtures found us out.

And the division was very weak last year so we could, and did, full our boots against a lot of dross.

Far more good teams this year so I expected the struggle, but we've regressed on top of that

We're never getting Potter, hughton could be a possibility, Appleton, critchley don't excite me and beale is too inexperienced. But I like that you're looking for options and posting sensible names

Wow didn’t realise it was that bad mate. 

Genuinely not trying to make it worse, but does that include Accy and Barrow in the U21s cup, and Shrewsbury in the other cup? I know folk always say "a win's a win" when we win at Barrow etc, but if it gives a false impression of progress, it just papers over the cracks and prolongs the inevitable.

IE was including beating Mansfield on pens as a win, as if that game was to be viewed as a positive.

Evatt is making a series of bizarre decisions.

Why drop GJ today ? The one thing we have got right this season is balancing the defence.

If Dempsey is playing, why as a forward  ?

 

Is there any team that has ever been successful with 2 in midfield ?

I'd rather that shite writer on Burnden Aces got it before him.

Especially when he only turns up when things are going to shit!

That & also he looks like a poundshop honey monster

Some thing interesting for you guys, since Aaron Morley went to Wycombe Wanderers and has played each match, they're unbeaten (2 W, 1D, 0L), ps Kieran Sadlier also plays and starts for them.

It's a minor point

But it didn't look like a penalty to me

I'm not watching it back, but at the time it looked nailed on that the striker got in behind Forino and he brought him down.  I thought there was an identical incident in the 1st half involving Santos but the ref wierdly gave us a free kick.  We weren't going to get away with it twice.

Thing is we do have some big players. Santos, Forino, Toal are giants and should be intimidating. Similarly Tomo and Matete in midfield are big enough and although small I wouldn't say Dempsey shies away from a battle. 

The wingbacks are complete lightweights but I don't think we look any smaller than the opposition 

Back 3 plus Johnston for sure, otherwise their right wing back (blonde lad) was bigger than half our team. As with sides like Ipswich, who had tall, strong units even in the WB positions, Huddersfield just bullied us on too many occasions. Third goal a classic, our flapping and flailing attempts to clear it were piss weak as their lads kept knocking us about

The other baffler was McAtee, it was a low bar at Barrow but he was the best of our forwards, kept working, showing and trying to make things happen all night and deserved his goal. What Evatt expected of Charles up against Helik was truly ridiculous.

The Santos one was nothing, not a pen or a free kick to us.

Haven't seen it back but was right in front of us.

He was half asleep again and got caught napping.

Thought we got away with one tbh.

Looked like ref had a good view though.
