    Carlos is a breath of fresh air after Bruce and son stank the place out.
    That's a really good point Bomber. I'm sure he had his strengths and having an eye for a player is one of them, and despite his not being able to get results we are benefiting from those decisions now. I think that the board picks managers without much thought sometimes, but choosing Corberan is a master stroke. All of his staff seem totally focused and the whole set up finally looks like the real deal. I just hope that as time passes the players don't get too comfortable. Everyone at the club has to be 100% committed for this club to achieve anything.

    In this coming transfer I window I would agree to getting rid of Zohore, Button, Livermore and possibly Reach. Livermore is different to the other three in that he has been a decent servant to this club but is now past his 'sell buy' date. Grant I would probably keep as back up.

    Good points regarding the confused tactics Ketts and indeed substitutions Saltns. Maybe I am being overly critical of the players, but I suspect that not all of them gave their best. ‘Player Power’ is perhaps overstated, but I remain angry at some of the lack of effort evident earlier this season.
    Sadly, it seems that currently Grant (and of course Zohore previously) have failed to commit ?

    Totally agree Prando. We need to get rid of Livermore and Reach too who are league 1 players at best and have been so for a long time. Get rid of Bryan too as no room for long term crocs on our overheads!

    CC has sussed out how s hit Livermore and Reach are hence they don’t appear! Grant too is shocking and has no heart!!

    Am I right in thinking under Dan Ashworth as soon as we signed a new manager/coach we were looking at future replacements, I hope when Carlos does leave we have the same mindset and carry on with forward thinking coaches not has beens looking for one last payday

    I think the days of Pulis, Big Sam and Bruce are over.
    This sort of manager can't cut, lets hope the merry go round has come to a standstill.
