He's on a four year contract? Wtf

Agree with Farnham 100%

I still want NA to succeed but, after yesterday, he has lost my trust. A positive result at charlton next week will not change that. Once bitten, twice shy, and all that.

'annoying'

Silk, no I agree. His post matches interviews when we have lost are not good. He sometimes just needs to hold his hands up. The anoying thing is, this could be changed with a quite word in the ear. Despite that, I don't think being a bit defensive/arrogant in a post match interview is a sackable offensive.

if NA is on a 4 year contract,there is no way he will be sacked. the sad thing is with a bit more positive play ,than defensive,we would of had plenty more points as no team we have played this season been that good TBH.

Still livid about yesterday. Don't care what he does from now on. Been burned too many times. Plymouth was a chance to go out all guns blazing. NA decided to dig lines of trenches and settle in for the Winter.

Zendon - Neal doesn't help himself though. If he had said he replaced Kaja for Abdou for this reason and it didn't work out then he could have doused some fires. Instead that was ignored in his interview. That is his best way to explain his thinking with the fans and keep them onside. It wouldn't have taken much searching to know what questions the fans wanted to know the answers to.

Ribligo - but why can't Scenario B be achieved by NA??

Well said Farnham Womble

Farnham - I accept a lot of your points but in order to make NPL work we are going to have to continually get crowds above what we get now. We will not get that by playing boring, negative football, losing matches and barely scoring. Us lot on here will still go next season even if we get relegated this one. We will still put money into this club. But that will be about 3,500 supporters. The extra 3,000 to make it work will not stick around with form like this season. They do not care about how much work the stalwarts of the club have put in. They want to see entertaining, successful football - that is the bottom line.

It was a Facebook forum when I came across it. Maybe security has been stepped up.

Worple - not rocks in my head. I just think that, despite everything (and I know yesterday does not look great with this argument) I actually think that Neal is a pragmatic manager who learns. He is intelligent. He will go away from Tuesday/Yesterday and work out a way to get this quite good team on paper to gel in practise. I think, if we stick with him, we will end up lower mid table. Lyle Taylor once described him as a 'mad professor' type, always coming up with new ideas. I think he will come up with a way to make Tuesday more the norm than yesterday. His alleged close relationship with the powers that be will allow him to buy what he needs to improve things in Jan.

Naz - really? I would be absolutely gutted if that happened and, TBH, post NA there would be two possible options (assuming we don't replace from within) - either a League One/Two journeyman replacement or a young risk. The first would be uninspiring, the second probably worse than NA.

Several hundreds of thousands of pounds ???? Why

Worple - a clique? Ha ha.

It's not a Facebook forum but it's called that yes

As I revealed last year, the secret guest book is a private Facebook forum called The Batsford Lounge. To join you submit your email address for approval.

I cannot believe people post on here and write "run" to describe those who make decisons at the club without anyone of here challenging them. These are the same people who have overseen the club establish itself as a Football League side, who started a youth system that is starting to bear fruit from nothing and who have overcome numerous planning obstacles so we are now within sight of a return to Plough Lane. On crowds of 4,500 they have to finance the new stadium (cost £20 million?) while keeping our playing budget competitive. I hope those who want NA sacked are ready to pay out several hundred thousands of pounds to terminate his (and Neil Cox')contracts. I hope those who want a new manager are prepared to reach into their own pockets to fund his wages and his January signings. The last time I looked we are playing at League One level and are not even in the bottom four so shouldn't we all just calm down a little.

SGB is currently formulating club policy on which of Neal Ardley's fingernails is first to be pulled. Erik is advocating for little toe on left foot but Sam Hammam (what? you didn't know?) is a firm lobbyist for going straight to right-hand thumb.

Agree OI , it got to the point yesterday when even a late goal wouldn't change the root of the problem ... that's really worrying , when as a fan I am thinking like that .

Nick makes a great point, Worple road forgot to include the merchandise team (always chirpy midweek) Fatboys special lasagne midweek and stodgy cottage pie on a Saturday ! Why?

And tbf Erik does interact on Facebook which by numbers is the most important online forum

Kyle - so what is it's real name then and are you able/allowed to provide a link so we can see for ourselves.

OI - isn't our club supposed to be different from most? Our structure means that any one who joins the Dons Trust means that they can stand to become part of the club's management. Shouldn't it be seen as better that the club's management actually post on here - in order to communicate and keep the bonds that started the club.
