Worcester Owl Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm a bit surprised that people are tying themselves in knots over a pretty straightforward poll - we have been debating whether Unsworth should stay/go for some time, and surely @yarddog73 is entitled to ask the question and get a snapshot of fans' opinion? If you don't like the question you don't have to answer it! I voted no. I think that word "forward" is key in more than one sense. I respect the view that we've hired and fired managers too often (clearly) and I want stability, but not at any price. You have to look forward (is he up to the job) at some point and ignore the past (too many manager changes): if he can't cut it then we have to act, surely. I don't want to see him sacked, unemployment is miserable, but sadly football management is a brutal business. We have to be challenging at the top, not the bottom, of this league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how we are in this position with the squad we have is absolutely mental. The guy has no clue how to setup a football team and uses excuse after excuse. If he doesn’t start picking up results this month just get rid of him. So far he’s shown absolutely nothing to me. What was you expecting, 18 points and 30 goals scored?

It was a loaded question. Those who think more time should be afforded mainly because we are only 6 games into the season have no choice in the poll, even if they fear DU isn't the right man. @yarddog73 knows that, everyone knows his feelings, they are laid bare over numerous threads and the question was set to get the greatest vote wanted.

We've probably only been favourites in half the games so far by the way. I ask a reasonable question which you can't answer because you are another one who can't debate without resorting to insults.

Last season Chesterfield failed to win in seven games in a row (inc home defeat to us), picking up 3 draws. Immediately after they won 8 out of 9 (lost to Halifax) to get promotion bid back on track.

Norewgian Gunnar Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 a definite No from me. Far too negative against teams we should be taking the game to and win ratio also poor. I respect other opinions but at time I wonder how DU plans games. For example, a point made on another part of this forum. A few weeks ago DU says Gardner needs building up with about 30 minutes game time initially and then plays him for a full game when we are down to 10 men. Norwood should start every game with a plan to attack and have the option to sub him when we are leading. Far too negative overall with a squad capable of much more-this was even evident in preseason in the games I went to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_R Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The problem is, getting rid of the manager isn’t the answer. The answer is getting the right man in. Obviously , you’ve got to move out the one there to bring someone else in, but if he isn’t right either then it’s back to square one. Much as I love Shez the time was right for him to go, as many were demanding, but so far it’s solved nothing. There’s no doubt plenty of good potential managers out there, but plenty of not so good ones too. We can all say who we should get if Unsworth goes, but we’ve no idea who’ll we’ll get in and it won’t be up to us anyway. I know we can’t just use that as an excuse to keep Unsworth in a job, but iunless we get the next one right we’ll be here again not too long from now.

Yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
