Re: Who next?

MG is saying all the right things but probably the best route would have been talking to the board behind the scenes. Doing it publicly like this does have the look of backing the board into a corner. Things could be very complicated if others have already been spoken to about the job. His offer do...

Re: Who next?

100% this - no way Gray unites the fan base. The same can be said for Hodson too - far too many people see Frank Tweddle's book on us as their sole source of managerial inspiration. The only thing that will unite the fanbase is winning matches. The reservations about MG would be largely pushed asid...

Re: Who next?

There's zero evidence to suggest that Martin Gray has the skillset required in our current situation. He succeeded when he had the biggest, or one of the biggest budgets in the division, while he was supported by a scout who had huge knowledge of the local non League game in Harry Dunn. He's not wo...

I think we'll struggle to get anything out of the game and not just because of ring rustiness.

Pinning our hopes on a striker that’s not played since April is not good. For me the squad and team is fractured they are not playing for each other.
