Who'd Have Grant's Job?

[McCammon egg n chips]

Nixon could be a great player but does need game time, he looked (even more) out on his feet last night and then scored

Doesn't give wingers a second. Good defensively. End product going forward though is generally poor compared v Sterry

Scores cracking goals though!

Well you certainly don’t laud McCann as all seeing and knowing, back in April you were laying into him and then a few weeks later we won the title and you’ve been a bit quiet since

Lol, I don't think that's quite how it was. It's funny how the slightest nuance of opinion is taken like a red rag to a bull.

One thing I take massive exception to is that the quantity of messages on here is somehow correlated to how much of a fan you are, or how much you back the manager or the club. As it happens, post Notts County and the celebrations (which happened in real life, not online for me), I've had an extended time of period off work, life just going on, and let's be honest pre-season isn't the most exciting time on a fan forum about football when no football is being played. It's bizarre that you'd try and weaponise a lack of posts over a three month period of no football to have a dig.

That’s not what I was doing, what you said back in April just a few weeks before the end of the season was baffling. Reading it now even more so.

“Let's get this straight, it's not the fans who have bigged up expectations - it was GM in the pre-season who said he expects us to be fighting for the title.

We've been well under that all season. Most of our fans are judging success on his yard stick; automatic promotion and fighting for the title.

So it's understandable we're all getting frustrated now we're stumbling to the finish line. The run in is tough, we've got injuries, the massive squad not making a blind bit of difference, and game after game it's the same tactics that aren't really working. Run it down the wing. f**k about, take the ball too far. Hope Moly will come up with some magic. Subs around 75 mins to go all out attack in the hope of a late winner.

It's not a strategy and whether we go up or stay down, it's given me some real doubts about McCann's abilities as a manager.”

Some acknowledgment of being massively wrong would’ve been the right thing to do, that is all!
