Re: Hunts gone

It must be a tough call if you're the coach and get the manager gig knowing that you're probably moving from a safe job to one where you'll get sacked sooner or later.

Presumably these days managers come with a team so a coaches job isnt' really all that safe either.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Doncaster Rovers (h)

Suprised there's no mention of Stevens, I think he's a poor keeper and can't wait to get Piera back. We'd of had a few more points if Piera had played the last few games.

Hunt hasn't had much luck with injuries, but I'm not sure what other choice he had with a backup keeper.

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

I was in the Hunt out camp but the last few games he seems to have the players on side, making more effort, so I'm back to wait a few more games.

I still think he's tactically poor, and nobody else would employ him as a manager.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a)

I feel we are due a win as Cardiff would have gone down when we get relegated except for our points deduction. We're due some karma.

Having said that I expect we'll get thrashed 3-0

Re: Hunt out.

If we don't sack Hunt then he definitely needs help.

Did anyone replace Gibbs?

Re: Club culture - are problems deeper than management?

We're a relatively big club in league 1 and for a lot of teams playing us we're a scalp they what to take and raise their game. Are we though? A third of the league are ex-PL clubs, and three of them were more recently in the PL than us. We don't have a history of winning much, we don't have a larg...

Re: Fan demographics and commercial information

It's quite incredible that the club has never had a relationship with any of the local tech vendors located here.

Major HQs include:
@Oracle @Microsoft @Dell @PepsiCo @BayerPharma @Verizon


The closest we got was probably Waitrose in Bracknell.

885 made the trip today. For such a good turn out there was pretty much no atmosphere until the goal. It's one ground I won't be going back to, Stockport seem to go out of their way to make the experience as dire as possible. How hard is it to have a price list outside the food kiosk?

Re: Cardiff City (A)

I have an overriding memory of losing 3-0 and trapsing back from the stadium to the station in the pouring rain with a hole in my trainers and completely sodden feet which seemed worse after the 3-0 thrashing.

Anyhow in for this and hopefully no rain.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

Millsy I've knocked Burns a lot but he was absolutely class at times today.

Marriott knows where the goal is.

We fought for every ball.

Effective subs.

Hunty doing alright in last few games, may the trend continue.


+1 the subs changed it

After the second goal we defended well - Burns was my MOTM.

Do the basics right, get an announcer you can hear and understand, oxf*rd off with the fireworks, and show replays of the goals.

I'm sorry but whoever that kid was - dont let them do it again.

It’s stronger than 5 points from 21, 1 win in 7 and 21st in the league. I don’t give a shit about the playoffs. I never thought we’d be close to em. But we are genuinely in a relegation battle with a top half team. That’s on the manager. It also doesn’t help that we’ve been dog shit in every game w...

Re: Confimred - Matt Ritchie

In reality we are a bottom 2 team, with a load of new players and a manager apparently clueless on where to play them.

We really need a win today to get some confidence and try to get a regular starting 11, style of play and tactics.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (a)

Extended-Phenotype Positives:
- Didn’t lose, picked up a point away
- Hunt made the required changes
- Midfield looked more balanced
- MOM is showing a bit of promise
- Performance was there, just need to keep the consistency of it up

While not as big as we’d have liked, a step in the right direction.
