    That's difficult for some supporters. They've already paid for their season tickets. I paid for mine but stopped going months ago. I'm not prepared to sit in the cold and rain being miserable before, during and after a match. Did I say match? When I said 'match' I meant defeat. Sticking plasters will not improve our position. Read into that what you will.
    I'm not even going to criticize the team or management. One day we'll bounce back but something has to change. IYKYN.

    UTM!!!
    I agree I won’t be going Saturday. I travel all over the country. If MH remains in charge I won’t be back
    As somebody pointed out the other week.
    The great MH lie is in operation.
    Journalists supporters on here and social media are happy to keep backing a man who shouldn’t be anywhere near the club.
    Will spend my Saturday with the grandchildren.
    The ones who have continually told us were wrong about MH are strangely quiet.

    Shame you aren't going Saturday Yak, Pocket and BOTN will be calling you a plastic

    Not so sure about your last point, many (not all of course) of the fans who were willing to give MH time and the benefit of the doubt seem to have to have changed their opinion after Tuesday night. Strangely, one of MH's staunchest critics, NWC, has been absent since the Cardiff defeat.

    Given our latest injury 'crisis', if MH is indeed in the dugout Saturday I'd like to see him start with all 4 who were brought in in January. and give them 45/60 minutes. To mix sporting cliches, when you're drinking in the last chance saloon, why not throw a Hail Mary?

    I agree CAM he keeps saying we won't take risks with players, yet he threw Douglas into the team when he did not need to, he contradicts himself to suit his own ideas. We should have been playing a 4 at the back with players in their preferred position since November if not before, he has the players that are fit to do that, he bought two high profile CBs for gods sake.
    We should play a defensive midfielder in from of the four to make us harder to play through. The long kicks from dawson should never go down the middle they should be landing in the outer thirds of the opposition half away from their CBs who hard can that be for a keeper?
    The only arguments i can see for him still being in charge at this stage is financial or a decision to put stability over outcome. However I do agree that just changing the manager won't fix the issues at the club, I am hoping that Smith will help with some of the wider perceived problems.

    We’ve had other managers sacked by TS with better team performances and results than MH. Hes obviously in a different place these days. If gates falling by thousands, playing the worst football for years, more than likely relegation, cheesed off fans soon to be showing real anger at games.

    Hes lost interest !

    In the words of the song - There was only one Paul Warne and how we’ve missed him !

    Wigan changed their manager to try and stay up, they took action.i still think it is interesting that around the end of our 9 game unbeaten run when we sat about 15th or 16th the bookies suddenly had us down for relegation why was that, what did they find out that we didn't know?

    I can remember saying at the time, pretty much every single statistic had us in the bottom 2 or 3, things like, possession, xG and accurate passes for instance. So you could argue that we were in a false position. Add to the mix that we have an inexperienced manager and you can see why the bookies had us down early as relegation fodder.

    the Millers.

    In hindsight, perhaps the club should
    have kept Leam Richardson has manager,
    not sacked him to bring in Steve Evans,
    now we have Matt Hamshaw, not a proven
    manager.
    Richardson now manager at Reading, doing
    a good job.
    The club treated Richardson harshly in
    sacking him, which I have taken note it did
    not go down well with some people.
    Perhaps with managers who turn the club
    down, have seen that the club is not run
    correctly, & keep a wide berth of wanting
    to work for Tony Stewart.

    Perhaps a lot of money went on the Millers to go down, but wonder who put money on it.
