    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?

    Going on that theory Kenyon and Bunn must be sixteen year olds!

    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”.

    Swann apologies and the squad suddenly turn into footballers?

    That’s why I wrote “shuffle the pack” ‘tash!

    Couple of loans out, a couple in. Maybe find another Jem Karacan.

    He’ll be desperate for any positives. There are none to be had at present

    Indeed. As I said earlier, he’s playing for time.

    Keep stalling until the January transfer window when he can shuffle the pack to make it look like something is being done.

    Could have had a career in politics. Especially under the present shower!

    Last chance saloon has been open for months!

    As the OP says this should have been happening a year ago.

    The cynic in me asks “why now?” Is is because we have a home game this Saturday following on from a 6-1 away thrashing where grumblings were evident from the Iron faithful?

    Truly sorry or playing for time?

    Look for ANY changes in the next 14 days.

    You’re being unusually generous there Alcy.

    Didn’t he say something about a further update on Friday?

    I’m sure Fansy has another fable he can link to. One about leopards and spots maybe?

    “For me, I need to interact better, I am disappointed in my approach and the way it has been taken by the fans, but thought it was my responsibility to sort everything on my own.

    That will change and hopefully that can begin.”

    Hmmm!

    offer at least a little incentive to hand over your hard earned, you know like maybe winning more than 1 game in 24 attempts!

    A win that only came about because we were awarded a dubious penalty and the opposition managed zero shots on target!

    So really it’s worse than the stats suggest.

    Things really are bad.
