I know we have dropped off a bit recently, but this is very, very drastic.

Has he the team who are likely to now win the title didnt do well here did they got hammered in fact.

Wimbledon lost here and as for Cook look at the table.

Lets see where we are in 8 games time as there is zero chance he is sacked before that as it would be stupid.

I've not said we should sack him, just merely pointing out in some games where he has been tactically inept compared to is opposite number..

All managers lose and get things wrong at times.

You can have best tactics on paper and in meetings but if your players arent good enough or have a bad game they go out the window.

Was he outwitted by Cook ? first half we were the much better team, doesn't that mean Cook was outwitted by Maynard ? Second half admittedly Chesterfield were the better team at times but it was still nip and tuck. Yes we lost but we were well worth a Point if not a win. Lost yes ,outwitted probably not.

No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the main enemy forces.

Only the layman believes that in the course of a campaign he sees the consistent implementation of an original thought that has been considered in advance in every detail and retained to the end.

We're on course for our highest finish since the Reedtz took over, in fact since 2017/18. We could even get promoted. The brothers regularly attend games - I saw at least one of them yesterday - and have repeatedly assured fans they are in this for the long haul.

I'll agree that the entertainment value this year hasn't been a patch on what we saw from Luke Williams' teams, which does irritate me, and I think that will be something the owners will want to see improve, but results over the season have still put us up there in promotion contention.

I think we're still on an upward trajectory, but I'm a bit concerned by what's going on behind the scenes. Two coaches left and haven't been replaced. The head of recruitment left and hasn't been replaced. Who's identifying our summer targets? It all seems a bit of a mess, which is not what you'd expect from the bros.

Our experience with the Brothers would suggest to me they have everything in hand. They don't tend to make panic judgements. That's the impression i get anyway.
