i dont even know why why we are discussing this, we have to keep derry because the wages will only become lower. unless rodwell leaving means we can afford a little more but i just dont get why people are questioning derry. its the players just as much as it is him!

I don't disagree that the players need to take their fair share of the blame, but who signed all of them@liampie?

Who sends them out with stupid formations? Who isn't addressing the bigger issues such as why the defence is so so poor? Who let's them keep hoofing it up front after he has just brought in another forward who needs.service to his feet, not 10ft above him?

Players and management of them has been poor this year. As soon as the luck ran out in the first third of the season things needed to change. They haven't and look where we are.

2 points off the drop and needing another 'escape.'

Hopefully the shake up at the top will lead to a positive outcome. Of course I want to stay up, but results don't back it up.

Better budget, I can see Derry being able to bring in the players required to push on. It's a shame things started to fall apart, you can pin point the exact moments and if people have been reading my comments about him, they'll see I wasn't being negative towards him but I was picking up on things he shouldn't have been doing. I'm not saying I could be a manager or my opinion is more valid than anyone else's but it rang alarm bells for me.

Having a good chat when denying 'confidence' really?

I hope Derry manages to stay, I really do because I believe he will be a great manager given the chance.

It is not all about budget Joe. Paolo DiCanio used a big budget to buy League 2 title and had a bigger pot the following year. Our playing staff came and went sometimes falling out of favour before having a chance to prove their worth. We gave lucrative contracts but the club fell apart.

Our budget now is drastically reduced but we have a chairman and manager who accept that the club should be self sufficient. The big earners are no longer with the club apart from goalkeeper and top striker who are both instrumental in this years success. If we fail to be promoted they may well leave but replacements are already at the club.

We recruit from non league and have close contacts with Premier League and Championship clubs allowing judicial use of the loan market. We have signed players after their loan spell.

Management have resisted the temptation to sign "the old head" and kept the faith. Most of us were sceptical to begin with but have now bought into the model.

If we are in League 1 next year we will probably lose half the team but will just have to start again and stay true to the system.

I wish you well for the rest of the season and remember that you have yet to fall into the relegation zone so win a couple and confidently pull away.

Sack. Tactically inept! Playing 3 centre halves and no recognised right back. Mullins is dreadful, Edwards shouldn't be playing and Hollis is going downhill fast!

Keep!

I just do not see what sacking at this point will achieve, a new manager is likely to also take us down...

I believe we will survive by a gnats whisker again...

Take stock during the last two weeks in May...

But, the Manager at the start of June, needs to be the one the club wish to take them forward long term.... AND the one who is going to take the club in an upwards direction!
