You mean that upturn ?

And that's just the results. The performances were generally poor too.

To reiterate, this is a key moment and it needs the appointment of an experienced candidate with a decent Football League management record who can command the respect and boost the enthusiasm of players and fans alike. A bit of anxiety crept in during the latter days of the Maynard reign. What we need now is a firm hand on the tiller to calm any nerves and maintain the solid relationship between the club and the fanbase.

Whatever happens as supporters we will have a good idea of what the playing squad think about the appointment when it is announced.

Should McGoldrick re-sign than that is a positive that the playing staff are behind the coach from the off. Given the lack of announcement on DM future I'm fairly certain he's waiting to see before making his decision.

If Alves is appointed then it rather exposes the owners true intentions.I cannot believe they will do that.

Oh they will he?s known to them will do as they ask, Cheaper option. So we will then know the true ambition they have . It will be the most disappointing appointment made to date and turn fans away. If he had anything about him surely he would have had input into the last 10 games of the season . If he did then as useless as Maynard.

It?s easy to pinpoint games and say this one or that one cost us but when you look at it on paper it?s hard not to think that those two home defeats to Cheltenham (15th) and Barrow (16th) cost us an automatic promotion place. Teams that want automatic promotion should be beating those in the bottom third of the table at home. It wouldn?t have mattered so much had we beaten Colchester and Crewe or picked up a point against Chesterfield or Salford. But because we struggled to beat the likes of Chesterfield, Salford, Colchester and Crewe at home we could not afford to slip up at home against those in the bottom half of the table.

Reading many of the posts on various threads in the last few days, I'm surprised one 'Mike Bassett' isn't in the betting odds.

He would soon be hounded out.

Bassett?? Think your barking up the wrong tree

Might sign that Liam Baskerville from Cheaterfurlough though!

In other betting news, we are 33/1 to sign Jamie Vardy:

If it happens and McGoldrick re-signs, we could have a front two with a combined age of 75!

I'm up for that. No ageism here!

As the owner of four basset hounds over the years, I think this should be under a different Fred.

In my opinion, the best breed of dog in the world . Not yappy dog, they bark like a 'hound from hell' and sleep 23 hours a day.

I'm not sure if this name has cropped up or been discussed, but the manager who would really do it for me is Rob Edwards. I didn't even know that he was out of work. Young and also been successful with FGR and Luton.

40-1 currently, but would be a huge coup for the club.
