The big problem is that Neal is being allowed to live off his promotion which is fine is he wants to stay as our boss long term. If he wants to progress to bigger and better things then he has to show he can get us to out-perform expectations and budget consistently. If he wants a bigger club to manage.

Shergy the results have been largely shit . For a long time

Shergy entertainment is a big factor for getting new fans to return, there is no shock crowds are down after last season. Tbis season we started better ublucky against Coventry, Sunderland, Barnsley, but as results havent gone our way, the old ways have returned very quickly he made a huge point of getting rid of certain players, but we remain the same, if the players have changed, who is responsible?

I just googled Mona Lott. Filth, OI. Pure filth.

Will let Mona Lott enjoy the misery for the evening.

Tintin, personally I couldn't give a shit about 'entertainment'.......it's all about results. However, I understand not everyone feels like that.

Kyle, I agree it's only a factor but a massive one.

Happy birthday SwinDon 🎂.

Ardley got more money but he forgot to sign a defence. Big. Fucking. Oops.

It’s not a league Shergy . It’s a factor , but not the only one , and if you really think that’s all there is to it no sure why you go to any game let alone every single one

Shergy depends if you break it down Entertainment 3 Defense 6 Midfield 6 Attack 7 As a team 6 Results 4 Shooting 5 Crossing 5 And that is with my positive head on, our finishing is constantly poor, midfielders renowned for not wanting to shoot, refusal to pkay two proper wingers, defence always liable for a lapse in concentration, positives? He is good at unearthing a striker and getting the best out of them, Elliott, Taylor, Piggott heck even both the bayos, good scouting for keepers, Roos, Long, King but wish we could locate a permanent signng as a keeper.

Look at terry browns record with us Shergy . On the whole I’d give his tenure 9/10 . Was it the right thing to get rid when we did despite all those promotions in that short space of time ? 100%

Kyle, yes but if you are giving him 7.5 overall I can't see how you could possibly argue he should be replaced. Last season we were 21st in the budget league and finished 18th........not brilliant but surely that was acceptable?

With regards to Sibbick and Nightingale don't we pay a management team to help make them better players? How can someone still be making basic errors. Isn't it sort of someone's job to sort that out?

Tonight joins the pantheon of depressing Wimbledon performances. Against a truly woeful bunch of inept Swansea kids, we had about 80% possession, 80% territory and created precisely nothing. Garrett is a waste of a loan signing, Sibbick spends his time on some planet other than earth and Will is still making basic errors. The only player who enhanced his reputation IMO was Hartigan, who showed composure and vision missing from most of the others.

Did you read the first bit of my post

OK I am suprised. I would give him 8 or 8.5 so we are not fair apart but despite giving him 7.5 you think he should be replaced?

Again , not really relevant as football seasons don’t run backwards in time , but 7.5

Kyle, let me ask you a question. During Ardley's term as manager how many marks out of 10 would you give him?

Shergy it’s really not that simple . You seem to view everything through the prism of one man but there’s a bit more at stake than that

The usual doom mongers getting all "I told you so" over a meaningless result in a meaningless competition that they claim to be not bothered about.

Sergeant Shergy of the Ardley Goon Squad, ahoy

CW.......so agree with your post of 21.49. It's a good job our board are not as 'knee jerk' as some of our fans. People talk about our increased budget but others will no doubt have spent more as well. Lets see where we are at Xmas. By that time we will know where we are in the budget league. If at that stage we are below where we are in the budget league then it is fair enough to question the manager.

Rotating the team hasnt worked.the manger doesnt know his best team.

Tonight our crossing was woeful. Can't blame the finishing as we barely had a shot because the final ball was so poor.
