I quite enjoy the arguments on here as usually it means we’ve won :)
My personal two pence worth is that realistically Cook, who I’m a massive fan of BTW,has probably taken us as far as he can do but that is nothing against his ability as a manager.
As a club we have to take gambles on players in order to compete in the top two divisions as we don’t have the money to buy “established” players. In the Prem we were signing nobodies from Honduras for pennies. Some worked, some didn’t. We signed players from Scotland in the same way. Nowadays we sign League 1 players that we hope can step up or Championship players who are possibly too old/injury prone. The fact is that if Jamal Lowe was a top player at this level he wouldn’t be here and similarly if Pilkington wasn’t injury prone he wouldn’t be here either.
Cook has shown that at times we can be superb, but at others (usually away) we can be dreadful. If the powers that be want to get rid then they have to be 100% that they have the man to replace him because as we showed with Coyle, Mackay and Joyce….it isn’t always as simple as sacking the manager.
We are a very small fish in this pond so for me, provided we can continue to be competitive it is tough to get rid.
Whilst you are basically spot on egg lad things can still change with tactics. I’m sure Lowe and Moore would show a lot more if they were playing a more attacking style like they would have albeit in league 1. I’m convinced it’s our negative approach to forward play as opposed to the squad quality that’s hindering us at present. I think we could be pleasantly surprised if Cookie was a bit more adventurous in our style.[/quote]
We’ll not get many goals from Moore playing him like we do. There’s nobody playing off him and we don’t whip crosses in from either wing for him to get on the end of. He just ends up tussling with centre backs?
Lowe should play through the middle for me, utilise his pace.[/quote]100% correct Jimmy it’s down to tactics
I doubt he will get sacked , he just needs to improve and use the experience he has to hand.
Reid and Royle were both top players and managers in their time, surely he is taking advice from them
Sacking him isn’t the answer and given that all the players ran towards him to celebrate the goal is testimony itself.
3 straight clean sheets at home is pretty impressive , just need to change things away from home.There lies the big issue……he won’t change his mindset, 2 wins in 28 testament to that so things away will continue to fester .
