Reasonable when you consider Macclesfield several leagues lower are asking £17 for match day admission next season.

£17 for Mac’s level is ridic in itself, although I did see the chairman’s notes on why they had to put the price at that amount. £17 would be appropriate for the level we are at. 

Early bird prices are good. £12.40 per game under the season ticket price. Still won’t be buying to watch an Unsy team. And £24 on the day, £20 in advance to watch nat league standard!!. Way way overpriced. 

Ajax style blue and white as it’s one of our original kits. White shorts blue socks. Club colours are blue red white. No tangerine for me 

I’m sure I read prior to him coming that it’s common knowledge his mrs has a major say and he needs to be near liverpool. Can’t see this happening.

unsy is from a PL/elite culture as well as managing youth players. He hasn't a clue about how to manage at this level and he needs to leave as a matter of urgency.

 

 

Yeah agree, I recall him saying it doesn’t matter if we are at home or away. That is elite/big club mentality that you play same wherever as u boss games home and away. It’s odd then that his defensive tactics don’t link in with that thinking. He’s missing the lower league values of organisation, hard work, home crowd advantage that gives small teams little wins here and there. Without it u just rely on quality and when u aren’t a top team packed with the best players it doesn’t work

The wins are in spite of Unsworth.  There's been no change in performance, just a bit more luck.  

 

We need to build now for a promotion push next season - where's the progress?

 

We were outplayed for the majority of the game today by bottom-of-the-league-no-league-wins-in-11 Maidstone United.  It's been the same in every match.  All positive results under Unsworth have lacked any conviction.

 

Them missing a sitter before Reid's wonder-strike saves the game today from another calamity.

 

We can't dominate opposition (like a promotion-chasing team would) because of the way Unsworth sets up.

 

 

 

 

totally agree. I don’t mind him being defensive and sitting back but when we break we have to commit people forward quickly. We don’t even do that. The current tactic isn’t going to get us out of the league, surely he can see that. Have to hope we see a change before end of season or u can’t imagine many signing up to watch that for another season

The Notts County game was top vs 3rd bottom following a drubbing at their place. We battled and worked against at a far superior side. Had you watched the game you'd have known we missed a sitter at the end to win it.

 

If it was Southampton doing that against City it'd be banded as a great dogged performance. 

I was there and Abraham should have won it but we should have been well beaten. Was it a tactical defensive masterclass when really it’s hard to argue that they should have won easily. Plus u can’t compare to soton or other teams, it’s the full 18 or 20 game spell with moments at home v pt teams where we don’t have shots on goal combined with everything else. So far no hope at all and I’m not sure he will keep us up. He’s going to have another chance sat by look of it to prove me wrong

Glimmer of hope he'll keep us up?

 

Again please check the last 4 league results since Nutall arrived. We are showing improving form in the league. See what Saturday Brings but if we win it's P5 W3 D1 L1. That includes 2 games vs Notts County back to back.

 

The side has been quickly improved. The more time together the better they'll get. I expect us to carry that good form on. If it doesn't then it'll be time to relook. 

 

If he got sacked mid December he'd have no complaints. They backed him, signed Nutall and we've since moved out of the relegation zone and shown signs of improvement. (until we crashed out of the countries lowest profile competition)

 

The people running the club, fortunately, aren't totally thick. Weather permitting we played 3 games in 8 days. That'll show if he has it.

 

My view is Fergie reborn wouldn't be able to get a consistent side out with our midfield.

Picked up a few points yes, improved form well technically yeah but not in performances. Should have lost at home to county, that was a pure fluke draw from gifts of goals. And not sure discounting the fa trophy is fair, they were def playing to win with strong teams out and one was at home to a PT team and we didn’t have a shot on target. Then u combine rumoured walk out post game sat and u can’t say he doesn’t deserve firing right now. I’m still honestly can’t see him keeping us up and it won’t take a lot for us to do that.

In one way, the fact that the upper hierarchy is sticking with Unsworth, despite the very slow on pitch improvement, is admirable.

 

We often hear talk of ‘backing the manager’ and giving him ‘more time’  - one good recent example is how Forest stuck by Cooper despite their dreadful start to the season.

 

The question is though “How long is enough time?”

If you see something then no probs sticking. Cooper had track record and prob wasn’t delivering such poor performances where his teams literally don’t threaten the oppo. If he was unlucky, performances showing glimpses of something there would be a lot less discontent. Unfortunately there’s isn’t even a glimmer he’ll keep us up. Plus shez put a line in sand for points return with squad so there is a clear comparison for what is achievable which he isn’t even meeting. Add his conduct and style and it’s hard to suggest backing is the right option. Blind faith at the moment

To a point- I think they’ve him given far too much rope to implement strategy and identity, and every manager has got a plan until they don’t win games. . . 
 

Moving forward I’d like our culture and style to be built by DR and the  permanent football staff- like Brighton or Sawnsea. The incumbent manager is then recruited on that basis, and if he’s sacked you’re not starting again, you’re just asking another manager to fit into the culture and expectations of the club. 

they took a risk. Looking at it, he was highly rated and his coaches come with decent record. It wasn’t too bad an idea to give him time. U have to be absolutely awful at managing to relegate us when we are backed. Unfortunately is panned out that he is tactically awful and likely our worst manager ever, certainly statistically. The board are a little unlucky but now look stupid they didn’t run a proper process

Do you think he picks the team and formation at 2pm or works on it all week? He needs credit where it is due.

 

Do we have people so ignorant to what their eyes see that they won't at least adjust their opinion on things? Very Brexit.

You’re obviously a lot more lenient than I am. Does he deserve credit for finally moving away from his 5-4-1 after 16 games when it was blatantly clear it didn’t work months ago. And again does he deserve credit for setting them up in a basic 4-4-2 sitting narrow which tbf was not a tactical masterclass v country and very lucky to get a point out of. They’ve had one win v a pt team. I’ll hold judgement yet on if any credit is due on recent formation changes or team selection

Pleased to see something come out as someone has realised it could get toxic. Feels more like a polished prem player interview. Just wish he’d accept a few mistakes, says he learnt and move on.

secondly the rebuild. This is just a buzz word covering up for poor performances.  What exactly is it that’s so hard or impacting the short term? I don’t get it. They needed manager and coaches which came with unsworth. They needed recruitment and physio. It’s place ad, interview, hire. Not that big a job plus they done it now. They new needed players on longer deals, that’s happened. Ground and training pitch is adequate, there is a functioning youth team. What is it that’s such a big rebuild job that impacts current first XI performance. For me not much. Many league one/two teams change manager at end of season and sign full squad on one year deals and do well, see Stevenage. We have signed plenty and seen literally zero improvement.

We will lose again to Notts at home, nothing will change in a week because nothing has changed in the last 3 months with him in charge other than we are even worse. I agree re the Dorking game, lose or even draw there and theyve no choice but to let him go surely 

he’s just not up to it and then someone put on here his u-23’s were close to relegation and had same performance / formation issues shows it’s unlikely to change. Worse case is they get a draw with a better performance in next two and we hold hoping again he has turned a corner. I think another hammering could be best result all round

Give over man!!! I’m far from happy myself but to expect a win against the best team in the league and if not say his current employment should be terminated is just plain silly….you may as well just sack him now!!

Yep the result against notts isn’t really the main thing. He does however need to start getting performances out. Any side can lose but they have to look competitive, run, tackle, create chances. None of which happen under DU. Can accept a loss next up but they should run notts close or if they set up defensively they can’t be letting more than 1 in a half

A bit of column A and bit of Column B.  

 

Unsworth's been backed a fair bit so far and yet there's still no improvement.  I'd also be asking Unsworth if I was Frank et al why he isn't making the players we had better (like Darren Royle said he should be aiming to do in the podcast).  Do we know where our top scorer is?  How long he's out for?  Will we even see him again??

 

You're right it is Frank's money, but (as I said some weeks ago!) I personally wouldn't give Unsworth a penny until there's some evidence he knows what he's doing. We've got a massive squad and Unsworth can't get eleven of them together to put a performance in.  

 

Chucking money at it in the blind faith it'll come good doesn't seem the smartest strategy in the world..

 

 

i think the rebuild was always required. The head of recruitment is there prob overseeing things so don’t think it’s a case of backing unsworth rather they know they need to rebuild. Hopefully the expectations on DU remains and if he can’t get the results they get someone who can

I wonder if there’s a scenario where Steve Thompson would be carded as the new manager. Could potentially keep the back room staff in place that way. The recruitment role is something Thompson hasn’t done much of before, but he’s had long spells as Assistant Manager at some decent clubs. Might be worth a shot as caretaker if Unsworth goes.

Not sure royle or the club can go for anyone who hasn’t got a track record of managing again or their abilities will be called further into question. We need someone who has a half decent record managing a few teams at this level or lg 2. 

U don’t scout managers By any chance do u? I think that’s what the club needs sending through to them at the moment

Not sure even I would stick with him if we are relegated - still think he'll turn it round but he's got until the end of January for me to prove it. In the meantime we've backed the team not the regime previously now we need to support both instead of  kicking off on here and on twitter.

I don’t mind that. Like back end of last year shows a lot of passion around the club and team. People rightly pissed off with where we are

I've read all comments on our current management team and go to a fair amount of games I love our club,town now in my opinion weather we get relegated or not its so important that we give him (unsworth&Co) time and if we get relegated then he should be given the first 10 games maximum to be around the top 4 otherwise its a never ending downward spiral of managers every 4 months or so

Not sure u would saying that if u had paid 12 mill and been told playoffs are a possibility this year

Rooney is that shit he has win national league player of the season twice. Maybe its the players around him

 

exactly. Are they that shit for this league?? Angol part of a promotion team at this level twice. Hogan Stockport cpt who won league and Maynard 30 games last year for Solihull who finished 2nd. Rooney twice player of year at this level. Threlkeld has actually played in championship and has solid career much higher. Are they really that bad. They don’t seem to be for other teams/managers

The rot set in from the off with Unsworth's head in the sand tactics, must be the most clueless we have ever had, despite the poor players.

Seems to have brought in his mates as  coaching staff just as inept. 

Totally agree. He’s not our man. Not even close to getting best out of this lot. Time to go. 

Both goals are right at the keeper. Is it me or anyone else feel he should save those 

3 minutes ago, Andy Barlow’s dietician said:

Why can’t Unsworth see this?

 

Threkeld having a shocker. He’s clearly not a midfield player anyway so we effectively have four centre half’s and two defensive full backs on the pitch.

 

no wonder we are so lacking in midfield.

 

Cooper doing about as well as could be expected.

 

has to take of threlkeld,  bring Carter on and put Heron in midfield. Roll it and Abraham wide.

 

Four, four fucking two!!

he’s not playing people in their positions. Toilet isn’t a centre mid. Plus Clarke is no wing back. We are bad enough when they play to position never mind to new ones. 

I think if we lose tonight since unsworth has been in charge we’d be bottom and he has played a lot of bottom half sides. Times running out for mr unsworth. Doing worse Per game v shez. Not up to managing this lot 

Clarke and angol playing higher today vs Tuesday but neither can really play that role. Still v hard to watch. Best chances but we look a very poor side. Just can’t see how we win playing like this
