I have horrible feeling that next 2 games we will see our opponents fans celebrating on both occasions

The Ainsworth who has failed everywhere except Wycombe and today was only his second win in 7 at Gillingham. Hughes failed at Bradford, Cowley has not done much since Licoln and Holloway blows hot and cold (though if I was into betting, I'd have a dabble on Swidon getting promted next season). All League 2 managers - maybe all managers - are a gamble.

Who's going to pay his wages? JJ will meet his stated objective.

Congrats to Leeds Utd & Burnley in winning a relegation place in 26/27

But we would hate his style of football, we would prefer ... er .. the current style ... ?

I think we would be comfortably autos with Gaz Ainsworth at the helm

have we forgotten how to pass to each other, today must have been one of our worst performances of the season, and that's saying something after the last two months

I can't even get excited about a playoff final at Wembley, with cautious jonnie in charge.

Or just pens, and pens I suppose

I guess the playoffs can be won by not scoring a single goal in match time?

Jaw - I think it was, what a great day! Feels like a lifetime ago. We did well to get a point against Accrington as well back in November but that's about it.

We always lose when The Pope dies, we got smashed by Walton & Hersham when Pope John Paul II died, now today.

SW, was it first game of the season v Colchester?

Would love to know what Colchester, Gills, SwinDon, Carlisle are paying the likes of Hughes, Cowley, Ainsworth and Holloway.

We lack such composure when we go behind. And have such a lack of plan B. I have no hope in us getting a goal back. Can't think of any example this season where we have gone on to win when behind.

I'm sure board will bring in a replacement for Buckley and bring a plan in to plug the losses we are running up each year. If not it's div 2 football until one bad year.

Agree with the money… and there’s still people who rather our model than Wrexhams ….

Jackson did well to turn round the furry white dogs egg of a squad he inherited, and has improved consistently every season over the past 3 - finishing positions something like 21st, 10th and now almost certainly playoffs. With some back room help obviously. On that achievement keeping him on looks a rational choice.

That was not a fun day out at all…. 🙄😒🤦🏻‍♂️

Agree with that sentiment; however I'm not sure what a 'good' manager is at this level (other than Mark Hughes! Purely on the basis of having managed at a far higher level). Seems to me that quality of manager is largely irrelevant in this league as the tools at his disposal are always going to be second rate

That was bad. No positives can be taken from it.

I’d just like to apologise to my wife & sons in advance for taking them to the Port Vale game next week

Is Jackson a really good manager? Probably not. Would anyone else who we could attract (given the budget we would give them and the salary we would pay them) be significantly better? Probably not...

I suspect a new manager may well get us out of the league, the EFL that is, next season.

We’ve been promised an update on Buckley by Friday. If he stays or is replaced by another of the old boys club, Jackson is going no where. My hope and very much wishful thinking is we get someone external with no history with the club.
