    From a CAFC supporters group: –

    “It’s a shame as he was a good man who came in with good intentions and started off really well.

    But this season has started off poorly and just got progressively worse.

    We know he was disappointed with how the transfer window went this summer. The club acted too late and didn’t really have a pre-season behind them, and the inability to put a settled side out in terms of fitness set Charlton back a bit.”

    Hmm! Sounds familiar.

    Under normal circumstances I’d have said, don’t go down that road.

    But desperate times call for desperate measures. Ideal timing and probably one of the few appointments that would boost attendances.

    We must be around 1,500 down on gates since before Covid so Swann is losing £25-30,000 every home game.

    The appointment would pay for itself.

    That’ll be Robert Di Niro then, seeing as how violins didn’t exist before the Renaissance!

    From the 73rd minute to the final whistle Barrow had a further 12 and us 1 !!

    A statistic far from being unique to last night’s game.

    Happens every week. Well probably not every week. Teams don’t need to go for it if they’re already 4-0 up after 73 minutes!

    Fansy thinking Cox should be knighted for drawing against Barrow really does bring home where we are at the moment.

    And four of those seven were against Newcastle! 😂

    Yes, a good OP. By this time next week Cox could officially be the worst manager of the Swann era.

    Any idea what Rooks and Bradley’s stats are?

    Our demise began after that semi-final defeat to Rotherham, not after the Grimsby game.

    The Covid red herring has become a convenient excuse. The difference between good and bad management (from top to bottom) is not necessarily money related.

    A point anywhere is only any good if you are comfortable in mid table.

    We need wins otherwise we’re screwed!

    No copying NI, I said we were heading for 27pts,

    Ha, ha! I just did a quick ppg tally and rounded it up. Although with one point out of the last 18 I’m probably being generous!

    27 points I reckon.

    20% possession? That can’t be right surely?

    Can’t wait for Peter’s next uplifting sermon.

    The conclusions were that we are a CB short; we need leadership in CM and we need a player in the style of Paul Hayes or similar.

    To be fair a number of posters have been saying this for quite a while now.

    You could get Neuer and Donnarumma in but with zero creativity in midfield and a toothless forward line the best you can hope for is a 0-0 draw.

    And that won’t be enough to keep us in the league!

    I think it’s normal practice to secure the perimeter before bringing the bulldozers in!

    Thing is you could get the manager of the Dog & Duck in and as likely as not he’d manage more than one win in 25.

    Either Cox has a gypsy’a curse on him, or he’s a spectacularly bad manager.

    I’m wondering if he got his coaching badges from the University of Phoenix.

    And as I said to a Carlisle steward as I left Brunton Park, “We’ve just seen the worst two teams on the league”.
