Pretty damming on the club that we have more affinity & rapour with the Dorking manager than our own.

There's potential in Vaughan. I remember him coming on this season and impressing. He actually got on the ball and ran at the opposition. That's nothing spectacular, of course, but it's better than what most of our midfielders have done this season. I'm not opposed to Vaughan going out on loan, but is he the worst of what we've currently got? I don't think so. Time will tell. I just don't want us to waste his talent when there's clearly something there. 

I guess the idea is he's playing 90 mins each week, getting lumps kicked out of him and learning from any mistakes that brings. He can then come back here on the bench or into the team ready to roll. 

Sutton came straight into the team last season from a similar loan ready to mix it if i recall correctly. 

I just wish we'd have done similar with Lumaba.

Why are we so insistent on self-sabotaging this season??

 

We've had Maynard, Threlkeld and Cooper in centre mid this season. Chapman is an upgrade on them. He'll do for now and back up if we get someone better in.

He said flattered to be fair.

That is simply not true. Game over at half time, probably after 34 mins. All on them to get a goal, we just simply picked them off. We could have had more goals 2nd half.

Pathetic that we can win an away game in such fashion and still get criticism.

I watched the game, no chance we were ever in danger of not winning  it.

Majority of what I have said is factual. Interesting to see others views on it.

Good to see the morons in the room just sulk and insult. You crack on flower.

The "time to gel" excuse is a myth - teams aften change manager and then have a bounce straight away. We've had no short-term OR long-term bounce under Unsworth. 

Hard to bounce with the squad he had. Just look at his 1st games side. Vomit inducing. 

3 in 20 games his is record as you say. He's got 2 of those wins in his last 4 league games. So a clear improvement. One he has to continue. 

You can't say those 2 performances weren't better than most. Time will tell if they are freaks or not. They have defo bought him time.

And I don't buy the lucky draw shite vs NC. They battered us, as they're a very good side, and we hung in and battled. Would have been very easy to crumble given the circumstances but we didn't. 

I'm hoping Gateshead in the gonorrhoea cup is the freak from now on.

No one expected promotion, but I don't think anyone expected us to be this shit either.  There's been no sign of shoots of recovery on the pitch or even stabilising, which isn't an unreasonable expectation.  

 

Unsworth's been backed to a reasonable level and should be doing better.

Bit by bit he's been backed, it takes time to gel. We have the same complaints each season about that. He changed half the starting 11. Last 2 league games showed us first some bollocks and second attacking danger we've not seen all season. 

We'll not be near the relegation zone by the end of the season.

If you are going to change the question...  You didn't say professional teams.  I don't believe for a second that Unsworth has no input in signings

If you are opening it to non professional then clearly there are tournaments of a lesser value. Have a day off.

We're 20th out of 24 teams. Just lost in the cup against a team directly below us who have won four all season. How many games do you give him to get it right then? 

As I have said, he'd have no complaints mid December. 

Since then he has played 4 league games, won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1. He's bought himself more time.

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. 

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.

Why are you so happy with us being shit? You can’t really be annoyed at the fact that fans are not happy with being in a relegation battle in the national league. It’s a joke. 

I'm not happy we are shit. I do have the ability to see the last few league performances have shown a slight improvement though. As I've said had he gone mid December he'd have no argument. 

The addition of Nutall is a massive step forward as he is a very good centre forward. Sheron moving to centre mid has made an improvement there (more needed).

I'll judge him on league results. He's enough new signings in now for there to be an improvement. Up to him and the players to do the do.

Why are people against it getting toxic on Saturday? People show displeasure in different ways. I don't boo the players or staff. I used to, but I'm over it. However, if people want to do it, it's up to them. The fact of the matter is that we are shit. We're shit yet again when things are supposed to be getting better. He has had the funding. He has had the backing. However, there's no indication of what football he wants us playing. 

 

Toxic or not, we really do need to put in a good solid performance on Saturday. 

Are you ok?

No one wants a toxic atmosphere on Saturday as it'll impact on the team and their performance. Everyone going should be fully behind the team and if they go behind trying to encourage the team.

It won't be as toxic as away games as the usual twitter mouths won't be as drunk.

Neither of our goals against county came as a result of pressing? One was a penalty gained from a foul on a set piece!

From recollection they both game from us pressuring the opposition. Including the play to win the corner. 

Keeper error again we have players in and around him for Sheron to get the goal.

It's a long way from that

 

I think we're entitled to wonder why that glaring weakness hasn't apparently been targeted in the recruitment process despite signing a dozen (?) players

Unsworth isn't responsible for signing players. 

We waited for Nutall, we may be waiting for the right centre mid. We had the winger and owner pulled out due to his character. 

We've signed a right back so for me the only one we've not seen evidence they're trying to sort is centre mid, assuming Rooney isn't the answer they thought he was.

Can you please name a lower profile comp professional teams play in?

I haven't seen much improvement.  There's no pressing, so urgency and the lack of cohesion between midfield and attack still remains.

 

 

The last 4 league games was what I was talking about.

In terms of pressing you may want to check the goals for the County game. If we aren't pressing and working hard we don't get those goals.

Some people just want him out and won't consider anything else. If he wins the next 2 and loses the 3rd it'll be the same shite again. Brexit behaviour.

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 

 

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.

The guys out of his depth and need binning off ASAP. Or the flip of it, let's ride it out and see how far we actually can fall

Can you let me know how we have done in the league since he got his number 1 striker? Not sure it's been too bad.

Some of the anti Unsworth stuff on here is pathetic. 

Reid, he wanted him as 2nd or 3rd choice target. We then sign his number 1 target so he plays him. The idea he'd not be picking his best team for whatever reason is just bizarre. He has clearly fancied Fondop and Nutall so far. Both their goal returns suggest it's worked in the main.

He's still manager and we should all be now wanting a positive result on Saturday. I've seen fans wanting and glad we lost on Saturday, bellends.

Keith Hill until the end of the season and take it from there...?

Ideal if he has a coaching team he can get in asap*

I'm still Unsworth in at the moment.

I’d be more than happy with Clarke as caretaker initially. 

With no coaching team. Sounds great.

No reason why we couldn't get an actual coach / manager in as interim/caretaker.
