    Deja Vu

    Michael Higdon kept us up in 2004-05. We followed it up with a disastrous season.

    We seem to be going down the same road - anybody wish we had gone down last season?

    Was thinking the very same.
    Lessons learned?

    That said, your other point.
    You can't tell me that Coventry in 2005 and Preston last season weren't two of the best (in atmosphere at least) games at GR for years!!??
    Wouldn't have swapped them for relegation any day!!
    Wouldn't swap *anything* for relegation!!

    They were both superb for 90 minutes. You then have the night savouring what a great day it was.

    Then next day you wake up and realise there is a massive dogfight for the next 12 months.

    You never know though, a light may switch on which turns our season around.

    Maybe we need a new Steve Davis to do what he did when he took a team that Dario built and yet could not do much with them and we were 5th from the bottom of L2 even with all his experience?

    Should not this point to the obvious that SD was the right man at the time but isn't now as Dario wasn't and so should we carry on failing or at least try someone new even if they fail?

    You may argue that our players now are not as good as when SD took over from Dario but maybe they are and need some inspirational motivation to get them to winning ways?

    Its the lack of motivation that seems to be a problem. The manager changes the team continually willy nilly. Signs poor players who are no better, can't seem to get the best out of players like Inman who arguably is our best player and yet on the bench and all this chopping and changing hacks the players off and so no coherent strategy to win games or promote inner belief and confidence.

    We don't always see eye to eye, MikeSB, but absolutely spot on.

    We need a new messiah, because SD's lack of sophistication is beginning to count against him.

    Also, if he's beginning to have a pop at players, even though nobody isd, he's in danger of losing the dressing room.

    And without that, where does he go?

    Sorry if this does not relate to this thread, but there are so many new threads popping up on here, I am finding it difficult at times remembering which one to post on.

    Why does SD continue to pick a player who is clearly out of his depth at this level? Jamie Ness is an automatic choice these days, and I cannot fathom out why. He is one passenger too many.

    The worrying thing that I noticed in the last two matches was the lack of passion coming from our 'dugout'. Little from SD and nothing from NB roaring to the pitchside to remonstrate with a ref or at players.
