Can see why Keith Hill appointed, 1 of 3 for me but do not know if the other 2 applied.
The Hurst demise – was it not based on the brief given not being adhered to despite further instruction from above ? Suspect something I had heard brought the matter to a swift termination.

We were producing players but Mr Cox seemed very reluctant in aiding their development, strange seeing that was his route !!
Look at Jai Rowe. Arrives here as a right sided back/wingback. Doing well and was improving every game then Cox said he is s CB and that was it for him. Bench or worse. O’Malley – Cox signing in Mason out !!
Wilson also disappeared and for match fitness was back in the U18s !! Big clubs are looking for young talent. No sympathy brought it all on himself.

Rhetorical question WG – our ex-manager didn’t find him.
I would give him a chance as well, unlike Scrimshaw he is not a ‘willing runner’ ! He was playing 1st yr academy a season in front. He is tough, pacy, can take players on and got a hell of a shot.
He will score goals, Dan Gallimore needs chances from the bench to build the experience part. Understands what is needed and tough lad.

EFL loan has to go first otherwise – we have zero chance with it outstanding.

How do we get out of this mess ?
Unless the EFL get the loan back we seem to have little movement available regards to bringing new players in who can change the situation but not with our present management.
Several players need paying off, the loanees need to go back and what budget is left needs using but not by the recruitment think tank that has finally delivered what is there now – says it all when people remark that our players can’t pass a ball correctly !!
So how serious is it – well we have all november & december to go before we can approach a club or we have to see what free agents are available.
As I say we need someone who knows what we want as opposed to a manager and chief scout who are on the same page !!

Mr Swann had an ego to prove everyone wrong !
Now it is proving everyone right.
What a shame Peter, and you called others amateurs.

Cameron Wilson is fit. But we don’t seem to play down to the goalline – look at how many corners we create !! It is shocking, Cam would do a a great job taking defenders on out wide and he can quickly cut back and hit very accurate shots in at the keeper.
So that could be the problem !

The only time he stops messing it up is when the criticisms grow.
He doesn’t like that, do I expect his favourites to have more of a chance than some others – a resounding YES.

I stopped due to my losing trust in the leadership.
I based it on 8 years of comments / statements from the Chairman starting from that 1st Forum, in a format the Chairman wanted. I heard statements about the financial security of the club what would NEVER be at risk etc, etc !!
The gates are where they are because few believe the Chairmans latest statements. For me if I started going again I am endorsing/backing the chairmans actions, I will not do that.
Then in some of his statements the stayaways are the ones responsible for any further decline, that the club will be unable to improve the squad ! I found that an insult when you look at the shocking waste of club money on the players recruited using his recruitment plan !! Despite continued evidence that the way we handled any possible contract extensions was flawed we continued, alienated players and ended up with huge turnover of players every season and declining league position was maintained.
No matter the quality of our players over the decades we had heart, the team battled, they fought for the shirt. A win is always good, defeats not so but you cheered fighters either way.
Now ? That heart has been ripped away.

My point for the item was the to disregard the work of Russ Wilcox with the U23s.
He was doing a good job and even when the manager the issue was more his defensive tactics and not the players ability.Now you have seen poor recruitment yet again. Tactics ? So questionable. Player selection that at times defies description. Fails to field a team in a settled formation which would help ‘a young inexperieced squad who show a lack of maturity’ and yet it is their fault. 352, 532, 433, 4321, 442 just a few of our resident ‘leaders’ sparkling league climbing systems !!

It makes the decision to bring in Wood and Hackney on deadline day even more baffling!
A lot of his decisions are baffling !! And I fear will remain so !!

Tom Pugh is far better than any of the last lot of signings (permanent or loanees)
Anyone that saw him rated him, well apart from his manager !!
Do I think Mr Cox will do it again – YES. Maybe not Tom but with someone else.

The gates are down because the fans / supporters have lost trust in the board.
Many went to the forums where promises were made regarding the club, the financial security of it. All the grandiose schemes they had because they were ‘professionals’ they knew what they were doing.
And that attitude has delivered just over 2100 gates ! Yet the fans got the blame for that. Responsibilty still not owned by the person who created it.
