Christ, when put like that, it is grim reading.

This.

Give him the January window and let him make his additions, Some fans expect overnight success and it will not work that way.
Let's give until at least feb before we beg Yosser to come back with another hidden gem from the jock 3rd division

He came in on the 1 July Steve, he needs a full transfer window, if we are off the pace come April I am sure the owners will act. A few of his big signings came in a few days before the season started, a few others he could not get in before the close. I think he needs more time.

These are the sort of games we have to win just to get us up there with the rest and stay in touch. Also we should then have played more than our fair share of matches away. I will take a break in the Mediterranean if we don't to avoid RP.

I would normally agree but I really can't see us improving unless he changes from the hoof ball tactics which going on what fans from previous clubs have said isn't going to happen. Hope he proves me wrong.

Wasn’t expecting to get promoted by November just pointing out he has the same record at this point of the season as the the most useless manager Wrexham has ever seen, with a lot more cash and you want to give him more

I am wondering why Steve Parkin has taken both the pre-match and post-match interviews this week.

One factor very few people raise is that we are every team's cup final. Literally everyone ups their game due to our profile.

That's not an excuse because we have to overcome it but it is a factor.

We need to work through it not sack the manager

That is the case with a lot of managers with cup games these days, so nothing to read into with that.
