Improvement on last season?

If we can’t beat Newport I can’t see us beating Wigan, Bradford and whoever else goes through.

Most folk wanted an experienced manager. We've got one. One of the benefits of an experienced manager, is he's gone through highs and lows and can draw on those experiences without getting over emotional and losing his head and, not losing the players.

We said we need an overhaul to change the team around. He's started that process and we can see it's going to take time . So why on earth would you panic and not allow him to see it through?

A new manager would have to start again with a worse starting position than McCann in that he doesn't have the same knowledge of the players as McCann and would have to reassess all over again.

Yesterday was the very first game for the new signings. Do we really expect instant results?

[drfcsteve]

I don’t think anyone expects instant results but I think most of us expected more improvement than we’ve seen given the goal the club set at the start of the season and the influx of new players.

We beat mk dons

And in retrospect the odd thing about that was that we beat them in the first 45 minutes and then just let them come at us in the second half with all the risk that involved. Our subsequent performances have made what happened seem like a dream turned into nightmare.

I think we managed the game excellently in the second half
Something we hardly ever manage to do

Perhaps something to do with the fact we're hardly ever three-nil up at half time.

Plenty of times we’ve been in front over the last 2 seasons and not managed the game properly
