BIGNOT must be sacked 9am tomorrow

Rio why are you still on the internet at 2 o clock on a school morning???

If he can get a 3-page thread within 9 hours of posting, he probably is.

The fact that "we was the better team" will count for nothing at the end of the season. Only points will save us from Conference North.

Said it before, there's plenty of culpability to go round for the mess we're in. None of it lies with Bignot.

?

Whopper3 wants Bignot sacked at 9am let’s see if it happens because Bignot and Maguire are INCOMPETENT!!!

Right, I'm gonna rise to the bait....

The progressions are clear to see. Under McCarthy we were petrified of other teams and the tactic was to sit back and let teams have the freedom of the park, basically waiting to be beaten. Players were afraid to get on the ball the full backs weren't allowed past the halfway line. Now, we try and play football and are having much more possession in games. We have lads eager to take the ball and we are actually attacking teams which is a massive improvement on where we were at. We are properly competing with teams, and even though we haven't had as much of a lift as we all hoped its still obvious that we've picked up more points than what we'd have got sticking with McCarthy. Last night we were really brave on the ball, players screaming for the ball even when they had a man on their back - this all comes from the manager who is drilling it into them to be comfortable on the ball. Where we are falling short is a lack of quality up front to make the most of good build up play, and bad luck with injuries. We're also starting to look a bit fitter, evidenced by the strong finishes to the Barrow and Eastleigh game, and last night where we were still busting a gut until the final whistle.

Bearing in mind Bignot inherited a horrendously unbalanced squad, has had to try and uneath gems at this stage of the season, and has had to lift a squad majorly short on confidence.....well I think that's a solid effort. Heck, even if we go down, at least we can go to home games knowing we will at least fight for it rather than hiding in our own half letting teams waltz around us. All these lads are on contract so its very simplistic to say get rid of them......we'll need someone to take them off our hands first which won't be easy.

Having said all that, I'm not saying that Bignot hasn't made mistakes. Team selection in the Kidderminster game was strange, it wasn't the time to experiment with players given the importance of the game. I also don't think he makes the right substitutions at the right time. And I'd rather see Ross Hannah playing off the defenders shoulders where he's previously got us over 20 goals, rather than playing deep, but again its down to our limited options that he's having to do that.

Serious question....do you seriously expect the club to pay off a manager who has been here for a couple of months, sack our chief executive who will again require a pay off, pay off the contracts of all the players you deem to be off the required standard (including our best centre half Astles), and then give whatever money is left to a manager in November to try and get us out of trouble? Would it not be better to stick with Bignot who is beginning to stamp his authority, and at the very least has made us a bit easier on the eye? Given how critical you were of McCarthy, I think you're expecting miracles to expect someone to come in and work with McCarthy's squad and turn it all around within 2 months.

I'm a goat - and even I think this is idiotic - give the bloke a chance - we could have easily walked away with nothing last night

Vacation? It is a holiday you moron.

Vacation? Is that what rehab is called nowadays?

Whopper 3 could be T***y S***h. The yanks seem to call holidays ‘vacations’ nowadays.

Thought Macguire spoke well before the game.

Astles is tailor made for conference north.

Hannah stealing a wage.

The lad who went off with a hammy looked a threat

At preseason we were all jumping up and down with joy. We've signed Hannah, we've signed James and Turnbull. We've got the best right back in the league from Macclesfield etc etc. We all went out and bought season tickets cos we were going to win the league with this team. How come they are all now vilified on this site. They don't become bad players overnight. Probably McCarthy and his tactics had a lot to do with it but I must agree that non of them are playing to their potential.

And that is the problem. Indecisive defence and goalkeeper.
Any ball in that area is the keepers. Goalkeeping basics if you like.
Lynch should have made it his especially nowadays as keepers are protected.
