If that makes me a fairweather fan that's fine, I've seen us finish top half 5 times in my lifetime. Can't be arsed with it anymore I think I am with you here. The fact that it is simply not worth the time and money, coupled with the feeling that your support isn't appreciated (at least by the manager and players), is giving me very little reason to be rushing back any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLegend Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The most concerning thing about Unsworth is that despite the amount of signings he's been afforded and supposedly better quality than some of the smaller clubs, we are being comprehensively outplayed and beaten at the basics most weeks. We are completely uncomfortable with getting the ball on the floor and sticking a few pass and moves together. Something Gateshead and plenty of other teams this season have found very simple. It's a worry that the management team don't see what is blindingly obvious to everyone else. A team that can't put a couple of passes together, win/challenge for headers or compete for second balls is going nowhere. It's basics and a big concern that we are miles off it. He still doesn't have a first XI that covers what is required despite a raft of signings and strong backing. We're 3 of 4 midfielders short to compete with part time football teams. Just not convinced they (manager and players) are learning quick enough to not be a mid table to bottom end team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penrhyn Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I f we do end up making another appointment not sure Wild is the right man he bottled it twice in the play offs dont see Barrow as contenders and they have only lost two games fewer than us.

Bottled it? With a team few expected to even be in the playoffs? And the same Barrow who most predicted would be in a relegation scrap?

penrhyn Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Agree but midfield has been the a problem all season . Hence loans in that area . We need 2or 3 good midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Pete Wild isn't daft. His career is on an upward projection at the moment. Maybe when he fails somewhere he'll consider us / we get back up the leagues. Unsworth to stay for now. He goes we could well lose all the coaching staff. We can't do that in the current run of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our captain for chrissakes - I’m sure that a five minute interview won’t interfere too much with him concentrating on his game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole set up is built round Unsworth. Not as easy to replace the whole thing quickly. 4 games in 2 weeks, not ideal to be changing it then. Makes me think he's got those games to save himself. Frank's not made millions by making hasty decisions on things and sorting replacements is one of the things to consider. He could have gone in December and instead they backed him with Nutall. Makes me think he'll get more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think he'll get more time. I hear what you're saying but Frank's made his millions in a completely different field. Unsworth and his pals' presence is doing more harm than good, so I'd have no problems with him going now even if we did have a game in the next day or so. We're over complicating football here - astute managers come in, sort stuff out and get teams playing better almost instantly. That's why there's often a "new manager bounce". We've got Peter Clarke on board to step in now. Give it to him and see how he gets on. He isn't going to do any worse.

Gaz_Oafc Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I've put it on here before but...We sounded Wild out before we brought Unsworth in. We were told what it'd take to get him (both compensation and budget he wanted). We never went back with a concrete offer. He then signed a new contract with Barrow. We've backed Unsworth far more than what Wild wanted in everything from backroom team to budget. Definitely backed the wrong horse!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will leave 18 games for a new manager - I'd prefer 20 so for me needs 1 win minimum from Wealdstone and Southend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side he's not made millions leaving incompetents in charge of hundreds of thousands of pounds damaging his companies revenue at the same time, hopefully Luke will grab hold of this one and get rid before the damage is terminal, this seasons a right off already so why keep flogging a dead horse this guys just a chump, get rid and move on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to bow to your superior knowledge on him not wanting it. He's not technically our player, but he isn't going back to Walsall, I wouldn't of thought. With us until the end of the season then is out of contract at Walsall. If we wanted him to be our manager (and he wanted to be it!) I reckon we could make it happen quite easily..
