Having been booked he fouled Hart for what could easily have been a second yellow, and later booted the ball into the Chaddy End after the referee had blown for a free kick to us. Not to mention his arguing with the ref and linesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansfield must be well off for players if they didn't want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 No doubt that the last week has dragged teams into it that we thought were probably long gone. Looking up maybe as far as Stevenage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Shez has worked the magic yet again however, It’s not over by a long way yet……we still have to play every single team in the top 12 as it stands. I hope we can be fairly comfortable at the end of March, a month which includes 4 successive home games, because our fixtures in April are horrendous. I do not want to have to go to Tranmere needing a win to stay up…my ticker won’t stand it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Another great game, and good to follow up with a win at home after the result on Saturday. Such a transformation in these players since Shez arrived. It does raise the question about whether those who said it wouldn't matter who the manager was (including me) were right or not. I think we're in a very unique set of circumstances here. I don't think there's another realistic manager out there who would have got such massive personal support from the fans instantly. He asked the fans to forget what has gone before and get behind the team and the fans have agreed. Shez has had the benefit of huge numbers of fans chanting at all 3 games he's been in charge of, or I should say he's earned that benefit. He's also creating a cup tie underdog mentality in the squad. This in turn gets the fans even more behind the team and will lead to more confidence in the players. I don't see this way of playing as sustainable over the course of a full season if looking to compete at the top end for example. But it is exactly what we needed if we were going to stay up. To be fair, it's not all blood and guts, he has got us more organised, more direct and playing further up the pitch. But the key to his start has been the attitude of players and fans. I just don't think we'd have got that from any other manager coming in. Feels like he could actually pull this off now. Get that statue ready!

Whilst he may have bored us to death in the process I don't think Curle would have taken us down in the end Selim absolutely would have! As someone who used the term dinosaur (going off his impacts at Swindon and Wigan) I would have Sheridan all day long and I kind of hope if he keeps us up, the clowns leave and he remains in charge for our promotion charge next season I know I need to calm down but after being thoroughly depressed supporting us the last 3 years I am enjoying this as much as I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I agree about Curle. Although he was 50% culpable for the lack of strikers, so I'm not sure if he would have rectified that in January. But it would have been no fun at all and at best we'd have limped our way to 22nd with crowds dwindling. Since Shez came in it's been such a breath of fresh air, I am now watching when I can and am absolutely gutted my daughter's birthday party was arranged for this saturday at 3pm pre-Shez when I didn't give a shit. Would loved to have gone to Newport! Other than now standing a decent chance of staying up, hopefully the supporters are now a great advert to prospective new owners for what the club could be.

The Bristol Rovers players were technically better than ours, but our fighting spirit won the match. Hope we can do this every match and when tiredness and injures result we have the squad to fill in and do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 If we do stay up and he does stay he needs to learn from the last time it happened. He stuck mainly with the same players and it ended badly. Although if they’d kept him and let him bed in HIS signings (not wellens) Doyle, Byrne and the rest. We would have stayed up that season.

Get that statue ready! shez and other decent managers would get more out of the team. Curle would 100% taken us down. He allowed the club to be set up with hope as the only striker when he isn’t really a target man type amd has spent most of his career as attacking mid. That in itself is shocking. Then he played him right wing back. Selim just doesn’t know league 2 well enough. Shez has immediately got two strikers in, played the experienced players, got some shape to team and made them work hard. Not done anything amazing. both curle and selim got the flak and sack their work deserved. They were both sub standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 A lot has been said about the possibility of a PL founder member going out of the EFL so I had a look at the FL founder members. Just 12 of them back in 1888 and two have left. Notts County and Accrington ( different to Stanley). So 10 have distinction of 134 years membership of top leagues in England .
