fleetwood Blue Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 FB definately has to be backed or sacked by AL in this transfer window, It is obvious to everybody that we need about 4 players and attempt to keep Surridge, Lang, Lydon and Iverson for the remainder of the season. We have 4 very winnable league games in January which could put us in more favourable position in the next 5 weeks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsmarra Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 AL neither has the money or leadership skills to bring the club together and move forward.Whoever he replaces Bunn with will struggle. The football world knows it is a poisoned chalice and there will be less candidates than normal to enter the revolving door.Unfortunately the custody of our club continues to be in the hands of a chancer with no money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 1 hour ago, JoeP said: Fair point made to an extent, although I think losing 6-0 to Carlisle should rightly generate more concern than just another defeat. And, just to be pedantic, we didn't get tonked by Cardiff (1-7) under Dowie in the play off season - that was under Wadsworth the season before.. Indeed and if we had won we'd have gone into the playoff places. We are in a relatively worse position now than we were after that game but with a lot more of the season left.

There are still only 92 football league manager positions and if one becomes available there will always be plenty of applicants, quality may not be as high but there will be plenty wanting a go. As for bringing the club together-it is staring you in the face. A bit of FA Cup success has brought 4000 fans together behind the club.

I know some was kept back for January so I'm hoping the recent cup money will boost it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected Goals has it as a 2-1, which seems about right. I've no idea what this 'expected goals' stat is supposed to mean, but i was there and saw it with my own eyes, and every time they attacked I expected a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have classed our last three in December as winnable but we’ve already lost two of them! You’re right about needing 4 players but we gave 1yr contracts to Taylor and Miller and unbelievably a 2yr deal to Giles Coke WTF!! Would you trust FB with your transfer money because I’m not sure I would... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Those highlights are pathetic. At any stage was Taylor on the right side of his man? Why were all the defenders diving in? Did Iversen have lead in his boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I've been one of Iversons biggest fans this season but he was poor on at least 2 of the goals yesterday. The others we looked like we were all at sea defensively poorly organised their was space everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to stop throwing these accusations of racism out on this forum just because someone has a differing view of an owner or player to yourself, Corney was given far more shit on these boards as an owner and Gardner as a player yet you are continually trying to promote an agenda that isn't even there.

mikejh45 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Reading a number of posts about the last few days, I'm taking a guess at: - following the argument after the Exeter game, AL gave FB a warning. - FB told the players (if they did know and liked FB, then they certainly didn't give it their best shot to save him). - crap performance so AL told FB on the coach home to find a cardboard box and pick up your stuff - CONFIRMATION email on the following day Just a guess.....could be a good guess, could be total bollox!!!
