After todays game
Some should be shown the door
I'll start with the Manager Right back playing Left back
Left back on the bench

Agree its a bit odd, but sacking DF because of it might be a bit OTT!
-
Lose 1 cup game after 10/12 points in the league and fans are back on the Fergie out bandwagon? Fickle
-
He played there last week and did very well against probably best player in the league

That’s a knee jerk reaction if ever I have heard one.
On another day we would have won comfortably. It just wasn’t meant to be.
-
One of those days today.
Poor first half but second half we threw everything at them and it just wouldn't go in. These things happen.
-
Can't be too hard on him, he's been waiting almost a month to be able to come back on here
-
Too much pop and not enough crisps?
-
Big game next week,
Plymouth are flying and we've some very tough games coming up afterwards
-
Really rate Mason, always have. But today he was dreadful.
I’m sure it was just a one off.
-
The most worrying thing for me is DF's post match interview. When asked if there would be any incomings he answered with a blunt no. Why are the owners not willing to back him in this window?
-
I know that Wilcox and Ferguson were both livid just before xmas because they'd been told they couldn't try and sign their targets.

Arguably to achieve the objective we don't need it. I also wouldn't be surprised to see someone come in. We should use the players we have. We shouldn't go down and I want to see if they are good enough. We also have Andrew, McCullough and Kiwomya not too far away.
-
Still need a striker. 100%
-
If anyone thinks we played well today footballs probably not for you. As for not scoring it’s a season long issue not just today our strikers records are abysmal. Conceding from set pieces another one that seems to pass our master tactician by

Add to that players in bench who should have played , players in wrong position, anyone would have thought DF just trying to tell board we don’t have the players an expensive message I hope they got it .

That doesn't make any sense. If he wanted money to spend on new players winning today's game would have been the correct move, £67,000 for progressing and a possible £1m if you draw the right team in the next round.

Ones of best defences in the league, in the middle of Outstanding league form and you come out with this type of nonsense.
-
Oh here we go
-
You can't just come out with ridiculous statements and not be happy to discuss it,
I've just given you some stats which oppose your statement
-

No, just 'fick' I think. They seriously cannot be of fully-sane mind to flick their opinions in such a binary manner. Not in touch with reality.
-
Not everyone is like you and thinks the old wife beater is untouchable. His deficiencies are there for all to see, in short fergie’s brand of football is BORING!!!
-
Who's saying he's untouchable
But trust me there's not many sane football supporters that will be asking for their manager to be sacked, after 10 points from 12

Back him to do what? Stay up? We should have enough for that I would have hoped/thought. Limited ambition admittedly but not altogether unrealistic. I suspect that DF was told that any January signings would depend on getting through to the next round of the Cup.
-
Oh here we go
esdaillees left foot, the only difference today is we didn’t put the ball in the net at least twice.
If we had you would not have posted the above. Fine margins football.

In his interview he said we had 18 squad players. Was asked about Whiteman but not sure anything can be done especially if another club comes in with an offer. We’ve got what we’ve got I do not see him having the money to bring any more in. As he said the budget was agreed.
-
Some complete numpties on this thread again. Can't help themselves.
-
Wanting the manager to be sacked in January after getting us to top half and third round of FA and League Cups is mentally backwards.
Doesn't look good with new signings though. We clearly need a left back (a loan would be fine as we have Andrew, Garratt and potentially the Irish kid long term) and a midfielder minimum. Not getting in Houghton is depressing too, he could be a big asset on the pitch and financially in the future but we're allowing that to go to the Summer where anyone can take him for free. It's not often I get frustrated with our board but I am currently.

Should DF go at the end of the season !

No...

If we finished around 9th would you still say he should be sacked

No.

Im not saying it's true,what since-1969 said,I doubt it myself.But if we won today,would DF get any more to spend,did he after we played Arsenal?Or would TB prudence mean it would got to balancing the books or helping others in club Doncaster?Im not passing judgement,Im just wondering if it would make as much difference to signings than many seem to think.
-
Should DF go at the end of the season !
Not if we finish well in mid table, but if we have a meltdown and go down (i don't think we will) then obviously he should. I think there is a case if we only just avoid relegation from, whats now, a good position but again i don't think that'll happen this year...
-
perhaps a little bit of smoke and mirrors from DF regarding bringing anyone in lets wait and see. A definite No now probably means more to the fans than a maybe
-
I thought No Meant No . Crying wolf you think.
-
As I’ve said before this board have no ambition. Say what you like about JR but he made at least 1 marquee signing every season ie McIndoe, Alford, Mills and many others. This lot are not football led and only make safe business decisions. if JR came back to keepquiet he’d be shocked at a half empty stadium with no atmosphere and the quality football of a pub team and no I’m not having a laugh
-
If the door is open then let’s hope Rowe and Beestin are not shooting at it they would miss.
-
What I did find interesting is that DF said that a budget had been agreed and essentially there was no more money in the pot.
Two points. First that budget was presumably agreed before the arsenal cup game and certainly before we lost Whiteman. At the very least there is his loan fee/ wages available.
-

Without a doubt YES

Wow it’s like your saying Ferguson talks shite.
-
Even if we reach the playoffs?
-
As I've said, my understanding is he thought there would be the arsenal money available in January but this has now changed

1) Bramall and Watson were already paying the lion’s share of the bills when we signed Mills. And Stock. And Wellens and Hayter and Sharp.
2) In the closed season just gone, the current board provided the funds to tie to a long term contract a striker who had scored more goals for us in a single season than anyone since the days when John Lennon met Yoko Ono.
Just sayin’.

Usual suspects appear out of the dung heap as usual when we lose

The myth that when JR was here only he put money in and the KM2 never did. :laugh::laugh:

Have a smaller transfer/wage budget?

Go f**k yourself you thick Kitson
Very nice comment, i'm sure the forum admins will deal with this abusive post
-
We take our chances today and we win easy. The manager can't put the ball in the net for them all he can do is set the team up. He did that, it worked well for the most. We created chances, we wasted them and we were denied a number of penalties today and finally, we are one of the form teams in League One.
I would sooner see some of the numpty posters on here go than the manager.

Why do you only post when we lose?
Why can’t you come up with some sensible reasoning and arguments to back your ridiculous remarks? Thirdly why can’t you post witout being vulgar and abusive.

Certainly concerning regarding no signings, one or two injuries to key players & we will be in trouble. Personally I think the manager is doing an excellent with the squad we have, we are not that far away & I feel for Fergy because if he could add two or three more we could really push on, today showed we are very lightweight squad wise, no real game changer on the bench today apart from Coppinger, but we can't keep relying on him.
As for the game, 2nd half we were excellent & created more than enough to win the game, the problem for me was, & has been for most home games this season is that we always seem to start slowly, make wrong decisions, & give the ball away, today was the perfect game, a cup game against a side we have just beaten & in the bottom four, to start on the front foot & have a real go, but again we were a different team second half chasing the game, we need to play like that from the off. We have been on a great league run of late, & long may it continue, but today reminded me how we are short of quality in the last third & experience, we were bullied again aswell.

Bum around in L1. It was their involvement that helped give us those years in the Championship.
-
I know that Wilcox and Ferguson were both livid just before xmas because they'd been told they couldn't try and sign their targets.
The last manager who asked if the board would back him ( according to TB in his opening season address MEET THE OWNERS) didn't last much longer after asking.
-
Today is just the typical reaction to getting beat. But just like all the times when we’ve lost we harp the ref or the players or lack of signings. I’m sure what ever happens from here on in it will not have the slightest effect on the Board to do their bit or DFs decision to keep his do his . We are back to where DF came in and it has to seen as moving forward with the experience of having learned from the past . I think we have a good young team but it’s a work in progress .

Absolute twaddle!!
-
I think we must also recognise that having sadly lost one of our main benefactors a few months ago there has to a continued if not increased respect of budget spending .
We have been extremely unlucky to lose two left backs and still have McCullough Kiwomya and Williams out and DF has done well within the budget to get us to mid table . We have every reason to remain postive and to look forward to the rest of the season with 2 of the above joing the squad .
I bet Whiteman will be back this month too now they have signed Leonard.
-
I'm far from a fan of Ferguson for a number of reasons but recent results have been good despite today's disappointment. Talk of a change in manager at this stage is simply illogical.
