Would prefer Gannon over Ritchie to be honest. Need to get out of the habit of looking to the past when the going gets tough..

No. I'd rather support the team to get out of this mess than just add to the problems we have already..

I was like this too, and I genuinely hope he does. However, time is definitely running out and if he gets nothing at the Brentford game, then I think he will be out.

I know you started this thread first mate, but going to close it so all MOTM discussion can be kept in the usual MOTM voting thread after each game, as seen here. http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27984 PS, I agree by the way

Dean Brill again for me. Did what was required..

Good post. I think the unfortunate thing is, some of our 'fans' made their mind up on Penney a long time ago (unreasonably at the time I think, as they hadn't been given enough time when these decisions were made) and would rather say "I told you so" for the club to be relegated than stay up. The tide turned with Ronnie Moore. I don't believe he should have been sacked whatsoever. Yeah, the football wasnt good to watch, but it got results. By the TTA giving in to fans and sacking him, they dug their grave then by passing power over to these 'fans' who would have a new manager a season if it was down to them, and think they can now at the click of a finger.. Regarding Sheridan, I think he had to go at the time, but in hindsight, should have now stayed. Everyone thought "Big Joe" would sort out what happenned on the pitch and when it didn't, it illustrated the problems lie much deeper. Definitely need to stick with a manager and give them the time and the chance, and after being Penney In, my patience is wearing thin with him. He doesn't have the excuse that its "not his squad" because the majority of signings have come from him. I genuinely hope he turns it round, but if he doesn't in the next 3-4 games, I think he will be gone.

It happens every time!

I agree. I'd give him a little more time, but after being in the 'Penney In' camp for a while, my patience is wearing thin... And to the person in the Main Stand Upper who said they want Eyres as manager last night: Give Over!

Thought a certain Mr Brill did what was required this evening. It wasn't much, but he did what was needed

If any?...

I hope its not off. Would I be mad to say I'm looking forward to the next home game?...

I think a striker is a must. Need someone else rather than relying on just Pav to get the goals.

We are 3 games in hand and haven't played in ages whilst others have. What do you expect?....

Definitely. Any other club who only has 7 fit professionals available would try get the game called off if they had the opportunity due to poor weather.

On MISA, they seem to think the player may refer to Kevin Phillips too... Funny reading all the "I wont go again if its true" comments though regarding Hughes

Shame really as he didnt get the chance here. But aslong as we recieved a respectable fee, I think its a good move for all parties. All the best to him!

I'll personally be leaving it if it means messing about through Facebook etc. I initially thought it might have just been us OWTB folk in it too rather than others and that it will be done through here etc. All the best with it anyways mate. Hope you get the league going well.

Treated myself to this on Thursday for the 360. I only really play it for XBox Live, but I'm very impressed with it so far.

I thought it was just me beating you that packed it in conveniently Is your XBox still in warranty? I.e. have you bought it in the last 3 years? I'm sure if you send to off to Microsoft, they repair them free of charge. They did with the three red light issues, but not sure whether this service was just for this incident. Might be worth giving them a call.

Might be easier for those who don't have Facebook to run it within this thread. Also will help with managing fixtures you may wish to post up etc.

Couldn't agree more. The thing with sacking Moore, TTA made a big mistake then. As they listened to the 'fans' on that instance, I think they effectively passed over that power rather than being a bit stern faced and riding it through. One more season with Ronnie I believe would have put us in much better stead and potentially up, but then theres the argument of paying to watch entertaining football which is a different matter. I would personally they have played any type of football to get us out of the division. As such, we now have some fans who think we can sack a manager at the click of a finger whenever the going gets tough.

Penney until the end of the season. Out of that list of other names, I can only see either Ritchie or Duxbury (god hope not..) as people who would be interested in the position.

Only managed a 1-0 against me (squared ball into the box). Stuck it out, with the occasional roughness from my centre halves .

The XBox Gold should arrive today unless the Postie has used the "snowed in" excuse. Hopefully be able to have a few later. GT = ste1987
