Adkins but I’m going for karl Robinson, but wouldn’t be surprised if Jones is in the hat.
WAAAAAOOOWWW! One short sentence, 3 managers quoted. :blink:

What a journey!We’ve had enough controversy at the club to last us a lifetime, surely DS has more common sense than his owd grandad had when appointing Malky! :woohoo:

What a journey!It’s a good job the axe wasn’t swung this time last season otherwise we may have been playing Fleetwood Saturday.
A poor decision IMHO, made all the more poorer when Bobby’s mini me Graeme Jones is sworn in on Thursday. :(
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Exactly. There have been games where we should have had a panful but either the shot has been poor or the final ball dreadful. We’ve even been unlucky at times.The times when we look really poor and struggle is when sides park the bus because we have no plan B other than the passing game.
I think GC’s plan B is to throw Davies on for the last 10-15 mins and keep banging it in the box. Would hate to see that type of football for 90 mins and most teams would settle for defending the long ball rather than having to chase players trying to get round the back.
Lets get behind them satdy, go in numbers to Cardiff [price no excuse this time]and peesh on Warnock’s party. :cheer:

What a journey!Can’t agree we create chances.Grigg 1 of this leagues best poachers completely starved. Nil midfield support ,completely isolated .Preston 83 mins possession and 1 Grigg header to show for it and same against Burton. Xmas too late for me cos if we’re still crap Grigg will be gone soon after then we’re going to be goosed altogether relying on ALF and Davies to bang em in.Need to wash the essence of Robbie out of our hair completely including backroom boys if next 2 games don’t see improvement or pass Bolton on way down.Don’t be fooled Grigg has missed his fair share of chances this season great poacher or not. I call him the Rolls Royce of forwards, love the guy and would hate him to go, but great forwards create their own chances as well as being set up. Let’s not berate the other 9 outfield players completely for Griggs performances week in week out.
Apart from Brentford I’ve watched every other game and believe me apart from Satdy, we have created more than enough chances to win the games, including that one against what some people think are a “super star” team, Preston.
I’ll not bother stating the reasons why we shouldn’t get rid of Caldwell just yet, somebody else has already done it and done it well.

What a journey!I said exactly the same thing to my mate coming off the ground on Saturday. At times we are playing superb football, one move on Saturday saw about 6-7 slick quick passes that saw Grigg honing in on goal only to get thwarted on the last second.
I have been in the main quite happy with the style of play, OK it gives you the jitters sometimes when they play it around at the back, but I’ve seen a number of teams trying to play the same way against us, but not as well.
Runcorn for me has a good point, apart from Saturday we have created enough chances in most of our games to win them easily, they just haven’t been put away. Irrespective of the formation or style of play, those chances have been created.
The difference of where we are now and we deserve to be, is a combination of crap finishing and sturdy defensive play. We often don’t give the opponents much credit.I totally agree that GC should quickly decide on his best team and stick with it. To be fair injuries have slightly hindered him, but he has also tinkered around too much with the formation for my liking.
Lets see where we are at Christmas and then start the head hunting if things haven’t picked up.

What a journey!Got a wise manager too at Deepshit. Not scared to have a go at winning games. He did a complete job on us and his side didn’t have to break sweat watching us walk the ball around the field. Three crosses into the box,resulting in three goals in midweek against Huddersfield. Last time our opposition saw three crosses was in a church.If you think doing a complete job is getting played off the park for the majority of the game and scoring a freak deflection, then fair enough. I thought Preston looked crap and stole 3 points, suppose that’s what its all about though, but you can’t go through a full season doing that. Our fortunes will change and so will theirs. Only 3 wins behind um and a long, long way to go. :cheer:

What a journey!Thought Jacobs was our MOM satdy, it just goes to show how we all see the game differently.
With respect to Bogdan, apart from the Norwich debacle, he has not done much wrong IMHO. Pulled off a great save from that looping header at Leeds that kept us in the game and when called upon made that superb save on Saturday from almost point blank range.
I really don’t think there is any real cause to get on his back, that Norwich gaff has gone now, don’t put him on the cross for the rest of the season.

What a journey!And you are basing that opinion having watched Burton against how many other teams?
Just wondering like. :huh:From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!It appears like Leeds fans think THEY need to attack more and the majority of them thought Green was their MOTM, look to the poll on the right hand side.

Can you believe it a goalie voted second MOTM against a team set up to be negative and defend. :lol:
A Leeds legend thought that we looked like the home team

What a journey!But we did do what Egg predicted and frustrated the life out of them to get the well earned draw which Gary went for. We will have to get used to this. It is not going to be pretty only pretty boring but it will bring more draws like this and we should snatch the odd win too to stay up.You are taking the Micky Donny??
From where I was sat in my £35 ticket seat, we gave more than we got. Jacobs hit the post, we had two cleared off the line, Grigg fluffed an header that just needed glancing in and there were many other good situations going forward.However, don’t let me give you a biased view of the game I didn’t have the advantage of listening to WISH FM or watching the scores come up on SSN.

What a journey!Dan Burn has slowly but surely won me over, after his horrendous start to the campaign.
In those first 4-5 games he looked like a new born giraffe, as he tried to keep up with the oppos forwards.McDonald IMO is the new Paul Rodgers. Goes about his business in great style, but does not stand out like Perky does with his diminished frame and glowing locks.
Every team needs one of these “spoilers” and we are very lucky to have two good uns in our ranks. :)From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!No, no please don’t bring this back. It’s bad enough now missing half the game as fans make the trudge backwards and forwards to the piss stones.
I was at at the end of one of the isles at Preston close to the entrance to the concourse. At least 700 fans spent more time holding their todger than watching the game.
This is the very reason I don’t tend to drink prior to games, so leave it for the window of opportunity, 5pm to 12 midnight. :sick:From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Once we start scoring and winning again the games will be entertaining. How god is it coming off the ground when your teams won!!!!!?We lost the buzz in teh Premier League and the last season in Champ, but it was back last year, winning games is everything
Watch it pal the new dark siders will be out shortly telling you to take off your blue tinted glasses, remove your false dawn opinions, stop this blind faith malarkey and take off your blinkers.
We are all doomed, Caldwell is the devil incarnate, league one here we come! :(
