If we can't beat these under JF, then we have to worry about relegation as long as JF remains in charge. Moniz would have destroyed them and entertained at the same time, I doubt we will be seeing that under JF.

I'm not having a dig at you, I just think calling him direct names won't help. You can call his actions or words moronic/idiotic etc... but directly at him? Bit far for me, but each to their own.

You might not like JF, many don't, but let's try and leave the insults out of it.

Expected, sadly. It's a sad day when losing to Accrington Stanley, despite a mini fight back, that it comes as absolutely no shock.

Because his tactics (at home) are historic?

Aborah has told fans differently. He told fans the manager doesn't like him, so he would like to leave.

As usual, we'll be celebrating/being depressed whilst trying to decipher what Colin is saying in the Chat Room. http://prideofnottingham.co.uk/fans/match_chat

Pipe down you

@Modern Fan 1862 ???? Lol, No. Just no.

Who knows. Pure silence coming from the club, must be due to changes in Media Team?

Same team, with Mackenzie in for Atkinson, as expected. Sigh.

What I would like to see: ----------Loach--------- -Atkinson-Hewitt-Hollis-Milsom- -------Thompson--Aborah-------- ---Campbell----Noble-------Burke- --------------Stead------------------ What I expect we will see is the same as the last home game.

Rubbish. Well done to Morecambe

Banton has been signed. NO ABORAH - EVEN ON THE BENCH. ADAM CAMPBELL DROPPED?!

Hoping for all 3 points as always, COYP!

Have to win really. Not just for points, but to get the fans on side. A boring 0-0 or a 0-x loss won't cut it.

I don't think I've (intentionally at least) taken anything out of context, maybe misinterpreted, but that's something else entirely. As you say, I don't think we will agree, but thanks for sharing your views/insight anyway, much appreciated. Agreed, that's part of football though, if a manager wasn't well received by the fans they will tend to be less patient when things don't work out. Regardless of our opinions at the time, we have to get behind the team and the new manager, 6 points from 9 is not a bad start at all.

I'm not questioning the signing or quality of Mcleod - I thought it was a decent signing. However, if the aim is to be self sustainable, spending 150k on a striker the wrong side of 30 isn't a great way to do it, IMO. Saying that it isn't a loan is neither here nor there - by that logic Man City could be self-sustainable, provided their super rich owners pump enough money in and it's not in the form of loans. I don't think many were criticising JF directly. How could we? On his appointment we knew next to nothing about him. The criticism was aimed at the type of appointment. If at the end of the season, Moniz still wasn't up to the task, it would be then understandable for the club to appoint a 'novice'. However, the reasons given for sacking Moniz was to 'not let the club stagnate' (i.e promotion)... so then the appointment of such 'novice' (and not necessarily JF, ANY novice) seemed ridiculous, hence the backlash. It's all about timing. Furthermore, labeling JF a novice isn't criticism, it's a fact. No first team managerial experience = novice. You stated club loyalty. You didn't state who the loyalty was intended for, hence the clarification. I'm not against 'hiring a novice'. As already stated, it's the timing.... and the reasons given for sacking the previous manager. Again, they don't add up. Whilst I do think that Derry could, and maybe will elsewhere, have come good, the issue again is more the timing. Sacking him at such a stage didn't make sense, unless his replacement was a Martin Allen kind of manager. It wasn't, and it failed. That's easy for me to say with hindsight and knowing the eventual outcome, but I think if Derry was sacked in Jan, it maybe would have been more understandable. Either that, or let him try and survive until the end of the season. Sacking him when we did, if not last gasp, what was it?!

If you are trying to suggest club loyalty to our manager(s), then you will understand why I do not believe that, at all. Whilst I am not privy to the clubs exact wage structure, taking into account the playing personnel at the club and the sheer volume of them, I am led to believe that the wage budget was higher at the start of this season than it was the start of last season. Combined with a drop in divisions, that would be a step away from sustainability rather than towards it. Furthermore, spending 150k on a striker the wrong side of 30 doesn't exactly suggest long-term sustainability, either. Last season, when Ray Trew was in the media promoting this 'self-sustainability', he also mentioned the wage budget was the 18th highest in the league. So a complete novice was given one of the lowest budgets in the league. One would assume that you sacked Derry in a last gasp attempt to preserve League One status (though I think it's a fools errand trying to rationalise your hiring and firing these days), yet again appointed someone with no experience of lower league football. Whilst not against the Moniz appointment, the timing was strange to say the least. So this season we have again fired the manager, this time it's 'refusing to let the club stagnate', so again, guessing that means achieve promotion? Then hire another novice. Baffling.

I didn't follow the game at all yesterday, however it sounds like a decent win and another away from home! YP.

I think we all know that NP used exaggeration and humour to deliver his point. The point however is still valid - we sack managers at an alarming rate. Nit-picking over whether the average is 3 months or 6 months 3 days and 10 minutes is irrelevant. We also do change 'philosophies' depending on (I assume) your moods. Liverpool boot room, promoting from within, attacking football, defensive football, self-sustainability etc.... If you can't see either of these 2 things then we're in a bigger mess than I thought, better pray to god that JF is some-kind of messiah.

Hahahha, this is brilliant.

As much as I'd like us to win, I can't see it happening. 3-0 Luton.
