    Where do you start, well another clean sheet and another point

    Keeper has kept two clean sheets on the trot, why did it take the fans to make MH make the change?

    MH must have a bromance or something with Martha, the lad shouldn’t be a starter in a team fighting relegation.

    Two more injuries, our players cannot stretch for a ball without getting injured, what does our fitness coach do, they are made of paper.

    Why does MH persist with the long ball down the middle to a striker that wants the ball to feet, or for him to run onto, that is simply stupid tactics. We have scored 2 goals in 4 games, 1 a penalty and 1 a deflection, and people think we will come good and stay up, I can see us being caught by Port Vale if this PPG ratio continues.

    Go 15 mins in the second half we looked good, and that sums up a MH team, he fails to get them up for big games and can’t get 90 minutes out of his players except for the odd game, he is not good enough and I am amazed people think he is, what statistics are they looking at that supports that view.

    We all thought the window looked good, yet with 12 players injured three of the six he brought in can’t get a game??? He waits until the 86th minute at home to make an attacking change in a game we have to try and win, then shouts at the players for not getting on quickly enough, his management is shockingly bad. Where are the wins coming from guys, the team has no goals in it?

    He will take us down but I expect his fans will still find excuses for him, interesting to see what they will think when he has us sat in the bottom half of L2.

    Derbs, your post was going oh so well until your last statement. If you can see that far into the future pal, tell me what this Friday's Euromillion numbers are. It's only worth approx 169 Million and if I won it through your help, I may look to buy the club to help out.

    The point I am making by that statement Brin, is I do not think he is capable of managing at this level or the one below. He should have been removed months ago, prior to the window. i think it has been said numerous times that the only reason i can see to justify him still being the manager is financial and some strange hope that he can't be as bad a manager as he is for the whole season. We are stuck with him now and this imminent relegation should be on his CV and not on a temporary manager or anyone else daft enough to take the job before the season ends.

    People who are thinking there are plenty of games left clearly are not watching the games and not looking at the facts put in front of them, it would take a miracle turn around in performances, tactical decisions and fitness levels to pull this off, it also requires 4 other teams to be worse than us.

    I hope that as soon as he gets us relegated, he is removed from his job (assuming our great business leaders have been smart enough to add a relegation clause) and we can start to plan for next season in L2.

    If we are relegated and Hamshaw remains in the job (which I don't think he would be) we will very likely be trawling the bottom half of the L2 table. I don't know why anyone would expect any different. Look at the 4 teams who were relegated last season, only Cambridge are doing any good. The other 3 teams, Bristol Rovers, Shrewsbury and Crawley are all firmly bottom half. Carlisle had two successive relegations and are now well and truly in the wilderness.

    Putting tactics and decision making aside, look at the injuries we've had this season. Hamshaw and his coaching staff can't be trusted to keep players fit. And if he stays, I don't think he could be trusted to even keep us in the football league never mind deliver a top half finish.

    The injury situation isn't going to improve, it's here to stay whilst we have the current management team.

    If we go down, we'll "cut our cloth" and bring in cheaper players, that's almost a given. We also become something of a cup final to some teams because we're in a bigger-than-most stadium, and have played in the second tier recently. It won't be easy because of this.

    However, we become a more attractive proposition to a lot of players at that level, and the right early signings could snowball if others see a chance to win games and go up. I genuinely think L2 will mean almost anything could happen... apart from REALLY struggling.

    The first challenge is to replace a lot of players who have featured this season:
