Assistant Head Coaches Simon Ireland and Graham Coughlan, First Team Coach David Worrall, Head of Medical Karly Bland and Goalkeeping Coach Ali Uzunhasanoglu have all left their positions with immediate effect.

Reminds me of the song by the band orange juice “rip it up and start again”

Presume this means Sam Foley is still in the mix for a role?
Foley is out of Contract can`t see him being offered a new one and is 40 in October.

We need an experienced head in to stop the rot. Understandably some might give us a wide berth, which is why we need a mass clear out. Experienced managers will most likely want full control of recruitment and the ability to bring their own staff in, more than just an assistant.

But the most important thing is to allow them time, including if we have an iffy start. The conveyor belt of managers and head coaches has to stop now.

Ten minute intervals, showing when we conceded.

Appreciate the last section includes added on time, but 20 goals is a lot to concede after 80 minutes.

Fitness, players not mentally tough enough, poor substitutes and tactics are all you can blame really.
