i have a quote from John Nelms during a recent amiable conversation with a member of my family, regarding the teams current position
of bottom of the league.

"an inexperienced manager, and staying loyal to the players who won promotion "
EXACTLY. I thought the promise of sticking with the guys who got us promoted was the only reason they won promotion and McPake was true to his word. He repeatedly made the same mistakes like seeming to forget that Gowser isn't good out wide and his undermining of Cummings by signing Griffiths was his biggest mistake. There were a few who predicted Griffiths was finished but it seemed to me the real disaster was the injury to Sheridan whose size and ability to play to hold up the ball was badly missed.

hopefully plans are being made to deal with either the likely relegation or a very unlikely escape from relegation. I doubt that McGhee and Rusk would be anyone's choice of manager in either situation, and hopefully the man who makes thee decisions will have realised that a change is needed.
