If this is true it must mean he is out injured for the season? If not this is a terrible decision he's our best CM we have missed him massively.
This highlights how poor our midfield has been this season for me as Jones has been nothing short of poor to average at best. We’ve had no midfield all season....

A lot of work to be done Mr Jolley. No doubt we’ve got better players but same huff and puff without much end product.

I love Scott Quigley but he is regressing as a player as the Season goes on. First touch is often poor and is more interested in falling over than doing anything meaningful when in possession. I still think we’ve got enough to stay up... but we need a performance quickly to settle the team and my nerves.

I understand what you`re saying but everyone keeps saying give it 10 games, they`ll come good,we need more players etc. etc., it`s now NO MORE EXCUSES it`s sleeves rolled up and F******g get on with it !, above all i want to see desire some passion i see neither if these players really care about "our club" then lets see it irrespective of being new players /new systems i expect more than what we are getting performance wise, that was like a kick about for Cambridge yesterday, the way it`s panning out is that we`re sleep walking to the national league !

Been saying it for weeks no fight no passion once again it showed yesterday. The tactics yesterday alongside the formation were horrendous. Playing 30 yard passes up to Quigley with no support the next man is 20 yards behind him. And once again many poor performances from these so called better players. Relaying on two worse teams than us or National League N&V. Let’s hope this happens and we can stay up. Appoint a manager in the summer who actually wants to play football, thank Jolley for keeping us up and move on with it.

I think we need to set up with wing backs to get some penetration; as Lewis intimated we are asking too much of an all-to-often isolated Quigley who is reduced to just trying to win free kicks to put us in with a set piece chance. As well qualified as he is, Jolley might do well to remember that it's not a game of chess and we need to show a lot more spirit on the sidelines and the pitch to actually look like we are fighting for our football league existence.

totally agree, wheres the comittment , closing down and passion gone ? cambridge didnt have to break sweat yesterday and yes hoolahans a decent player but hes even better when you give him 10 yards like yesterday , can guarantee you jason taylor or connor brown woudnt have give him that much time , they would have hoofed him into the popular side . expected full effort yesterday like the cheltenham game , wat we got was a disgrace , no effort and no personel pride and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck . no better than dunns reign !!!!!

Our Assistant Manager had a 100% record whilst in charge. Food for thought.

Calm down. We played the best side I can remember us playing this season. I think Jolley made some strange team and formation choices yesterday but let’s remember we played top of the league. Looking at the fixtures this month on paper we are really going to struggle for many points tbh, but let’s judge him/the new arrivals when we’ve played more teams from the bottom half of the league

I seem to remember that the Mail had him taking charge of that game but he said wasn't in charge, and sat in the stand.

I also was wondering about behind doors games to get them up to speed, I read a article on a L2 club who has a large squad & their manager has arranged games saying “We need everyone game fit and raring to go” Have we done something similar or intend doing it when we have a chance to?

The crazy thing is, all this talk of being beaten by top of the league and outplayed etc, we were actually favourites with the bookies to win yesterday, christ knows who the odds compiler is?!

You are spouting crap man-the team is going to take time to come together. You know that, I know that, we all know that.
Get off the managers back and give him a chance to get it right.
That's your opinion man, i have a different opinion man
Sorry.
I assumed you were a man.
