Cox will regard two 2-0 defeats as a success if we stay up on GD, so expect an even more defensive approach for the last two games. Can he find 6 fit defenders for Saturday as 5 clearly isn’t enough.

“We’ve had a good chat with the players yet again but there are some disappointed people in that dressing room.”
Disappointed that the season isn’t over and their contract expired?
You can tell us that Neil (again and again) but we know what we see!3 users thanked author for this post.
“That is a total of 13 losses in two runs, scoring 8 goals and conseeding 40, and we still have him in charge of our team, I think that we are well overdue a reason why he is still employed??????”
Because he does as he’s told.

We’ll be asleep by 7.00 instead of 7.30?

“After all, since 2013, what has actually improved at Glanford Park?”
Possibly the easiest question ever posed on Bru?

” I suppose it goes to show just how much contempt the club has for its fans right now!”
That’s something else that hasn’t changed Daz. I’ve felt that the Club cared nothing for me and other supporters even before “Morongate.”

Quite right MKI, nothing else he could say. The problem is he says similar things every week and, sadly, I fully expect he’ll be saying it again come Saturday.

Same as usual post match.
” We were poor again tonight.” Heard that before?
“When we come in on Thursday morning, the focus will be on Saturday” Like the focus was yesterday and last Saturday? Or better?
“we’ll have a good luck(?) around and see who really wants it.” Good luck with that!!
” A lot of them are hurting, and really disappointed with the way the season has gone because they expected more from themselves.” Doesn’t show Neil “We’ll pick them up ready for Saturday.” Yeh right!3 users thanked author for this post.
1) Which players should he pick? This is not a good squad, especially when you lose a couple to injury.
Maybe ones that have some interest in SUFC next season?
2) Not true. He moved away from a back 5 and it proved much more successful.
Still reverts to it sometimes. Lone striker?
3) Most managers do this.
Some do it successfully
4) Didn’t look the case against, say, Grimsby at home this season.
Do you have many more examples, I bet I have more of the other kind.
5) Maybe we’re just crap?
No argument there.
6) Yes, I do. I think he’s done very well with a terrible squad.
He looks as if he’s kept us in the league, as for “very well” we’ll have to disagree.2 users thanked author for this post.
He didn’t choose any of these players either. Just saying, it can be done.

I’ve said before that the Club is in dire need of some stability. Some will argue that keeping us in L2 has been success for the manager but after almost a full season I ask this question – Has he shown any sign at all that he is learning how to be a Football League manager?
He continues to pick the same failing players.
He continues to use the same failing tactics.
He continues to worry about the opposition rather than his own team.
He continues to fail to motivate his players.
He continues to insist we’re looking to win games which we clearly aren’t.
He’s been dealt a bad hand that’s true, but does anybody believe he’s getting the best out of what’s available? I really want continuity but he has to prove he deserves to stay.
Also disappointed with what Lillis appears to be contributing, many of us will remember his wonderful motivational run before the Swansea play off game. He appears to have lost that ability and seems ineffective, remember the Cox/Lillis appointment was hailed as the dream team at the the time.2 users thanked author for this post.
Come on les, you must have noticed that SUFC don’t do sensible any more.

Another game where we were “looking for the 3 points” Difficult to achieve with no shots on target, not for the first time this season either!!
What’s unbelievable is that there are 2 teams in the division worse than our shower (although they’ve both beaten us)1 user thanked author for this post.
I think you underestimate the chairman IITB. Surely the smart move would be to keep Cox, sign cheap players in May/June/July/August and then sack Cox so that he can be blamed for the dross that we’re likely to sign and next seasons potential disaster.

Bad news mate, it’s Walsall next week not Madrid.

What about those unable or unwilling to travel (to Exeter & Carlisle for example) Surely better for the clubs to get a tenner occasionally than nothing at all.
