Kewell is working with an awfully put together squad thanks to Nolan and I can't see it getting much better until January, we'll pick up points here and there and lose games here and there, do people really expect us to go on a fantastic run of form and fly up the table just because we changed manager?

Not really, Delroy, we do expect to see that they MIGHT, though.

Whoever the manager is they are going to have a hard job Kewell started by playing fairly attacking sides but he has seen how hopeless the defence is I mean we took the lead at Port Vale with 3 minutes to go and couldn't hold onto that !

We are stuck with this load of deadbeats until Jan and that is down to the people who signed them and that wasn't Kewell with the exception of 2/3 of them.

This is starting to look like the Trew era all over again calling for managers heads, wages wasted on deadbeats and a big squad with no youth players being given a chance who lets be right can't be any worse can they ?!

I wouldn't sack Kewell yet but if we lose to Cheltenham at home Hardy may well do a Trew then everything he says becomes irrelevant as he will be making the same mistakes as him.

We have seen it over a short period and as I've said that will probably continue to happen, we'll have good runs and bad runs, our last ten games we had a run of 5 unbeaten, DDWWW and followed it up with 5 games without a win, LLLDD.

The last 10 games has us 13th in the form table, maintain that and we should be happy (and perfectly fine come the end of the season).

We have got a decent squad, it's certainly not balanced but any half decent manager should be able to get us to at least mid table. Don't forget we were bookies favourites with some for a reason.

We have a decent attack granted we had no cover for the full backs or CB's and not one ball winner is it a surprise we are struggling looking at that ?!

If you look at Kewell record we would be sitting around 13-16th not what we wanted but remember he took over us after 6 games with one point on the board and confidence at rock bottom we weren't losing 1-0 in close games we were getting battered pretty much every game.

Bookies tag means nothing the game is played on grass not a spreadsheet.

The bookies favourites was mainly because we were throwing money around and that rarely happens in League 2, not because they saw the army of cr*p central midfielders Nolan was assembling and thought "F*cking hell they're building a good squad there!"

It doesn't mean nothing, they make a lot of money for a reason.

Agreed, that's what I find most worrying about Kewell being unable to turn things around.

Attacking wise we have a multitude of options, including 3 players we spent the best part of 1 million pounds on, two of which scored over 15 goals last season, one of them in a team that got relegated.

We have 6 central defenders, 2 of which got us into the play offs last season.
