I’d settle for that if it ends in promotion, but the problem is, we won’t know that until then end of the season. I want to win, but preferably in a style I enjoy. It seems it’s almost become a crime now to go to a football match and expect to enjoy the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly what Unsworth’s recruiting policy has seemed like, until recently. If you’re involved in any advisory capacity with him could you please come up with a similar whimsical ditty on - ‘How to Pass the Bloody Ball’ when not under pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was linked to the Oxford United job on Twitter not that long ago. Even less likely, especially then. If 2023 becomes the year of the Yard Dog, then we may not be able to keep hold of him.

If this was until the start of January I'd have driven him down to Walsall but credit where its due since then his win ratio has been very good and it is a results and not entertainment scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Pretty sure the twitter account that put this up is one that just parrots ibbys nonsense, so it'll be a totally made up rumour. But it did make me think about what I would want to happen should someone come in from him. And I think I've now moved from the "don't mind either way but I understand why they're sticking with him" camp and into the "Unsworth in" camp. Yes there's a chance a new manager would have us winning AND playing attractive football, but there's just as much chance someone new wouldn't be able to repeat the same form. As promotion is imperitive, I think we'd be mad to change a manager that has us as 3rd best in the league over the 2nd half of the season.

With Wrexham and hopefully Notts both gone, Dave can continue this good form, stuff Dale both home and away and guide us back to the promised land. Yes, it's only right he gets the opportunity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
