The analogy has been used before – but if you get poor service and a lousy product – how long do you keep paying out good money for it?
Even doing that for several weeks smacks of incipient insanity – and yet fans are expected to do this year on year, decade on decade.
Then the shriek, “If you don’t pay to watch this load of poo – you are not a real fan!” (Otherwise known as ‘the blackmail factor.”)5 users thanked author for this post.
If we can’t do better – then we is in big trouble.

Used to score for fun but Newport loaned him to Exeter.
3 goals in 26 games and is 34.1 user thanked author for this post.
1) His ‘signings’ were very late January leftovers because a certain party did not lift the embargo.
2) What can anyone possibly say in post match comments? I’ve been a speaker in a number of contexts and saying anything which doesn’t sound like BS is nigh on impossible in his situation.
3) He couldn’t have succeeded – nobody could.
4) Cox created the mess to an extent. I could hardly say that it was all his fault – though.Let KH do the rebuild and then we’ll see. The problem is that we are both totally guessing. You are guessing that he’s crap and I’m guessing that he isn’t. Time alone can tell, IFA.

My opinion is based on the fact that an established manager has been tasked with herding cats.
IMHO, as soon as he saw we were doomed, he began to plan for next season. Squeezing every possible minute of time on the pitch out of as many young lads as possible was exactly the right start to planning for next season.
As usual, I’ll say ‘give him til October’. It’s the only fair thing to do and any new manager coming in, who probably would not be an improvement in any case, will not have the faintest inkling of what horrors await in attempting the rebuilding of The Iron.
Judging KH on results is like cutting someone’s legs off and then kicking them in the head because they don’t tap dance.We have sacked too many decent enough managers and every attempt to use the untried and untested has not worked too well.

Oh great. We are to start looking for someone better than the highly respected Keith Hill; somebody with a better record and starting the whole absurd management replacement thing once more. Terrific.
Didn’t the former Chairman said he’d pay up the debt IF needed to allow proper signings in January.
If that’s what happened – then clearly ALL blame is on Hill.
If it did not then …Too many people have got upset about awful results when the season was already dead. Playing young uns was exactly the right course to take. Planning for next season
Really felt for Lobley – as it ‘knocked our duck off’ as they so frequently say in the city I inhabit.
That was just what it was. The second goal was considerably worse. Ball comes into six yard box – free header. Our defender between scorer and goal actually had his back to the play! In a 12 year olds’ match that would have been considered dire. Who was it, BTW?
Anyway, at that point – I sagged. They lost the plot.We went from crisp passing the week before to abject in one step.
We have regularly had games this season where passing has been poor and four or five when it has been wretched. Yesterday could have topped them all.Beestin was as bad as anyone – still – he’s got his new contract to console him.
We started the game well enough but that pair of goals at the start just left us gutted. That is no surprise with younger players – I sometimes watch my 9 year old granddaughter’s team fade and die.
But she’s back the next week, along with her pals, bubbling with confidence and getting a win, like or not.As many have pointed out – nobody can field a team containing too many youngsters. We have only been doing this ‘to blood’ them and let them see how tough L2 really is and gain experience. It has been exactly the right way to use up all of those dead games. To me this has been the single positive in our dismal season.
Nuttall – (From one who’s defended him – worst game thus far.)
Problem one – Grant could not be chosen to play and act as their general. He’s past it – and even showed that in his rather desperate, tiny cameo appearance.

KH did himself few favours with the fans by standing up for you-know-who when all he had to do was grit his teeth and remain silent.
As our tame Rochdale fan has sort of stated, ‘The guy does know what he’s doing – give him a chance.’
(After all – he hasn’t really had one yet!)Incidentally, how many of those youngsters, knowing the dangers, would have opted not to play yesterday? – Suspiciously close to zero, I’d expect.
Important lessons were learned – and if that makes ’em go running whimpering into a corner – then so be it. It’s a tough life – get used to it or fail. They are not hothouse plants.Yeah, pretty much what Pat said.

If we can’t afford to bring in strikers – perhaps we have to try to rebuild broken ones?

I travelled to that Cod ‘ed game in the back of a friend’s dad’s Reliant Robin.

Shall we just wait until we have seen who has departed and who has been brought in before we all start wetting our pants?
