    BUT for me, Stockport is his "Forest away" - reference to the Mark Robins - Fergie game.

    He needs a result on Saturday, more importantly for me, he needs to make a change. 3421, 352, 343 coupled with a patient build up valuing possession over taking risks is not working - we lack penetration and are not good enough to keep the ball without causing ourselves problems.

    I think we need to go to a 4141/433 approach and play more direct. Get the ball forward quickly, push up the pitch and press the opposition. We have the players to do this and it will be something they are all familiar with, wont take much bedding down. We also need to develop a bit of a nasty streak, we are way too nice to play against. We dont make the cynical fouls, the time wasting and general all round sh*thousery that successful teams employ.

    If we go on Saturday, with the same formation, same style of play - I will change my views on MH - seen enough of the current ways and it is not working. Last chance saloon for me.
    I agree with most of what you say MFM, but i think its more important to get something out of the 5 home games until the end of Feb or all could be lost. Let's see what happens in the window, this Ryan One is taking some sorting out. Maybe he's our "news" tomz, any more up the magical sleeve.

    MH will be our manager through February, if we are not improving and out of the bottom 4 by early March there will be a panic sacking in the hope that a new manager can get enough points to stay up. That is my prediction

    Nor will a change of manager save us.

    The only chance we have is new ownership and there is no guarantee that we will find one and if we do, there is no guarantee they will be honest or competent.

    We are completely f*,cked.
    Wow..I never thought you would be able to post ought like that IBS...totally agree with you after disagreeing with you many years..... Ex
