The manager takes the pelters on here when we lose for bad selections and tactics, yet where are those posters when we win, not only win, but win three on the bounce with 3 clean sheets. Who was responsible for those eh?Doesn’t mean performances shouldn’t be looked at for improvement, but surely give credit where it’s due?
There are only two teams in the division that have won more games than ourselves so far this season. Those wins have been achieved under two managers, both of whom have needed sacking according to a fair number of our fans. As others have alluded to, life would certainly be interesting if we ever entered fan ownership. We’d need a big budget to keep paying off and recruiting new managers every few weeks.

I think the majority just wanted better from Schofield rather than wanting him sacked.
'Fan Ownership' doesn't mean every decision being voted on by the fans. It would mean a Board whose members are fans elected by the wider general fandom and left to get on with it until they are re-elected. Usually under the aegis of an organised structure, such as the Supporter's Club or, indeed, the VSC.
It’s a work in progress, and Barrow did not deserve a point, they had one option and did nothing but plough it up top to a big man for the last 15 minutes, possibly longer. It was agricultural in the extreme.We looked more comfortable and confident, however we didn’t threaten their keeper much in the second half, and they were there for the taking. I did feel we held back rather than go for it. The inter play is slowly coming with wing backs and wide midfielders. Molly and Brown, Maxwell and Hurst.Was it exciting - No I agree, it was beige as a game, with only the odd spark.Are we better, and do we look like we have a plan - Absolutely Is DS the right man - don’t know! The signs are good, and insider info is that he is the best coach we have ever seen- they included the time of Sod & Rok in this, that is some statement, but is no guarantee he will succeed.

Easy to blow a few comments out of proportion.

But as to your comment about him being the best coach we have ever seen is also something I've been hearing for a long time around the club. Apparently training sessions are a delight for all the players and if we continue to see the improvement we have then maybe those comments are justified. I certainly hope so.
SM: That's interesting and in a way surprising. To me, Schofield comes over as unemotional, detached and lacking in empathy.

I’d be interested to hear if he’d have given McSheffrey the sack or not.
