Grant mccann...

[ncRover]

Anyone wanting mcann gone needs to give their heads a wobble.

We've just played 2 other relegation threatened teams, and lost them both.

BUT, look at their summer recruitment, then look at ours.

Mcann has got his hands tied.

Neither were expected to be down there.

Look at Burton, Northampton, Wimbledon, Stevenage, Lincoln and Bradford.

[Chris Black come back]

A question I’ve asked before is , why has Lee Glover gone from being a coach to a scout, and Barry Richardson brought in as coach, not goalkeeping coach ?

.

Same reason Copps went from Director of Football to being chief scout.

The thing that I remember about today, we got a corner on around 80min I think and we had 3 of 4 players all looking at each other for a good 20 seconds as they didn’t have a f**king clue who was taking it.

Middleton then took it and obviously hit the first man.

It’s piss poor.

His crossing has been terrible. Literally the one thing he made a name for himself on. Weird signing in our style for sure.

It makes a change from Molly & Gibson holding hands at every set piece. Can't fault our managers man management but he seems tactically inept & devoid of ideas to me

I think that's very frustrating for us all when we don't see much evidence of set piece routines being deployed in games, appearing to be more off the cuff.

Making it up as we go?

Can I mention our piss poor throw ins, twice today Molly pulled up for a foul throw

Afraid im beginning to agree.

[TonySoprano]

My only worry regarding our manager is if he walks over the budget, just like ferguson did.

[Rovers91]

Time to change, we owe him nothing with how he f**ked off to Hull.
His recruitment this summer shite and he has players constantly picked even though they aren't good enough and performances reflect that yet some dont get a chance. I dont trust him to recruit and he is so stubborn with his formation/selection.
Time for a change.

[Prez]

Was that not one of the reasons he went to Hull? There were rumours he wanted money for Kane and Wilkes to stay, and was refused.

He possibly jumped whilst his stock was high.

Probably a factor i imagine.

Foul throws are so commonplace in football right now.
It isn’t unusual to see a dozen per game.
I saw two in a minute by Blackpool players yesterday as well.

[StocksArmy]

Not on the McCann out brigade just yet but, if he did get the boot I’d fully understand the decision and part of me would be glad the owners aren’t accepting what’s happening.

[DRFCSouth]

There seems no idea on set piece routines. We're hardly the most physical team. Yet time after time it just gets pumped high into the box.

The Plymouth game proved this when we had numerous corners. They end up being an attacking opportunity for the opposition.

Have to wonder who controls the corner routines/set piece training.

[Prez]

We had 3 free kicks yesterday and each time Ben close put a belter of a ball in.

All 3 chances were wasted.

The corner routine though which has been discussed before needs changing asap.

We just don’t look a threat.

[LondonRover1]

In his three seasons with us he has finished twice in the playoffs and once as champions. There is no way we will get a better manager than him.

Yes, the recruitment this year has been poor and the loans haven't worked out. But he clearly recognises that as they are all going back and I'm sure the replacements will be an improvement.

You never really see repeat patterns of play do you. I could tell you more about how Blackpool want to find a route to goal after watching them once than I can us after to going to every game.

[DonnyOsmond]

There is definitely a lot currently going wrong, and a lot gone wrong in the summer... However, Grant has managed us for 3 season, 2 we've finished in this play offs, 1 we've won the title... So we're going to struggle to find a better manager, with a better record. He definitely needs to evaluate himself, his staff and his players now, not later... And any signings need to be ready to compete in League One, we signed too many players this summer that weren't any better than what we had last season, and very unlikely but we'll need to spend money to find players who will truly take us to another level in January.
