This is why a former fans favourite should never be manager

Sentiment gets in the way and makes it harder to sack him

Is It ??

[mushRTID]

6 goals in 12 games.
Love Wellens I really do, but it’s not working is it.

He should be fighting to save his job now, if he wasn’t already. I mean desperation time.

He’s nothing to lose now.
I’d bring Bogle back, get Rowe im midfield and drop Williams for Oluwu. Just to mix it up. Nothing to lose.

[steve@dcfd]

Yes he should never accepted the job to a club who doesn’t have the funds to put a good league one side together.
Sack him if they want now we still have the same players who will not be improved we are down

[acacia94]

Unfortunately we're watching a pretty poor quality Doncaster team and the manager is unable to galvanise and guide the squad to winning football matches. Its a recipe for relegation.

[Pside]

He needs to go now if we’re to have any hope I’m afraid. I love Richie but it’s just not worked

Sentiment gets in the way and makes it harder to sack him

Maybe from the fans’ point of view, but not from those who do the hiring and firing. The board don’t do sentiment, they do sensible.

[normal rules]

Damage done with bogle. I can’t imagine he is behind the scenes giving it the “play me” big un.
Bed made here I’m afraid.

Nowt to do with funds we’ve players better than rock bottom. No one really expected a promotion push this is way below par

[DonnyOsmond]

If we don't win on Saturday then he should go.

[rich1471]

Well if the board do sensible then they should pack his bags for him as it not working and we will struggle to win 10 games all season ,we are clueless all over the pitch

We’ll they should stop being sensible it’s got us no f***ing where !!

This club needs investment, poor recruitment , recipe for disaster.

 One of the poorest squads ive seen.

League two might be needed. Clear the crap and build again

No we haven’t most are not good enough would never get in to a good Doncaster Rovers good side. The club and board deserve everything they have done since MCCann left.

Clear the crap ???
It will still be the same idiots making all the decisions!!!

It isn't as easy as just saying it though. Some teams go down and stay down or fall deeper. The aim should be to stay up, we can rebuild in this division.

[belton rover]

I said earlier in the Lucky Pint that we were competing. It was a good first half in that respect. Second half we succumbed to a team who had the nouse and ability to change things.

This is the most naive Rovers team since before the Conference days - in every square of the pitch.

I don’t think Richie will get the sack, but, by God, he needs some help.

[StocksArmy]

Wellens cant get a tune out of this lot. His players, his job. Its as simple as that. There is nothing on show in those players that proves to me that they want to turn this around. Its just slow, laboured, side to side, backwards sh!t. The rage that comes over me when Dahlberg gives it to Anderson who is immediately closed down, who then gives it to Rowe who is immediately closed down who then rolls it down the line to whoever who has a man in his back and loses it because there is nobody inside to pass to is unreal. What the actual fcuk do they do on the training pitch?

[mushRTID]

Clear the crap?

We’ve literally just had a summer with the least amount of contracted players in years! We cleared the crap and replaced them with more crap, most on longer contracts

True no point getting rid of the manager if the same person who recommended these players is at the club. Wellens isn’t getting much out of them but the players aren’t great

The YouTube footage of lower level players is quite limited so it’ll only be more loanees from the prem that the recruitment experts come up with

[DonnyOsmond]

With our next fixtures being Cheltenham, Cambridge, Charlton, Crewe, Fleetwood and Lincoln, this is definitely our best chance of picking up points before January. If we can't beat Cheltenham after tonights debacle then we need to give someone else a go. That includes getting rid of Paul "King of Set Pieces" Gerrard.

In my opinion one indication of a good manager is the one who can turn it round at half time. On Saturday and tonight our manager has been outwitted.

Or missing !!

[sedwardsdrfc]

Isn’t Butler set play coach at Posh?

Getting rid of one of our only leaders also looks a bad decision in hindsight

But he’s got nothing to turn it around with. It doesn’t matter what tactics a manager can come up with if the players are incapable of producing that change on the pitch.

Hasn’t he been banned for the last 2 games?
So his own petulance has also cost him being able to affect half times?

Oh .. another excuse !!

[Draytonian III]

Wycombe on Saturday hit it long from goal kicks , we insist on playing in short to defenders and we get closed down nearly every time. The opposition can’t score if the balls in their half

[steve@dcfd]

Unless Taylor and Okenbirhie can play on the next games we have nothing to change games. None of the players we can afford we have at the club would get in any good league one side.
