Yes, today was bad. And last week was good. No need to get too upset just yet.

Massive over-reaction on here.
We are a team in transition with a lot of new signings and players that haven't played a lot of games at this level.
Get your sensible heads on and realise that we've just been beaten 0-1 by Carlisle in league 2, which to me feels amazing just typing those words.
As long as we stay up and continue to build, year on year and progress the infrastructure, squad and stadium then we should all be elated.

Carlisle whatever you think of them are well seasoned campaigners at this level. Thought their game management overall was excellent! We are in a steep learning curve at the minute been hampered by injuries and suspension. Stick with it far too early to write anybody or anything off at this stage!
Not interested one jot on how Evatt did things that’s in the past , he chose to jump ship at the earliest suitable opportunity. We have a new management team in now who we need to get behind and give our fullest support to!

Dunn’s managerial career reads: P 31...W 5...D...14...L 12. Not very impressive. Doesn’t inspire confidence for the rest of the season.

This 100%

Our team from last year would beat our team from this year - no question.

Ive simmered down a bit and thinking more clearly. We are not only adapting from one league to another, but doing it with a new manager, who has a different approach. This is not going to be easy. The problem is we've got to adapt quickly, because 4 games soon becomes 10 and if things don't improve, especially as a creative force we are going to continue to struggle to score goals. I think we can all see that. I like to think that with Dunn, Nthle and Kay we are a stronger side, but what we really need is that creative spark in midfield.

Dunn. Is he playing now Jonty ?

Platt (I’m not thinking that clearly then)

What was Evatt’s record before we went on the solid run after Hartlepool?

It’s not great at the moment but some of the comments are way way OTT considering we have a new manager in a new league with half a team of new faces.

How much foresight went into appointing Dunn did anyone look at his time at Oldham. I know things were difficult there but they were uninspiring in every game they played under him !

Here here, a lazy arse appointment , his agent asked if the job was available and that's it, think his managment record now stands at 2 wins from 30 games

How on Earth would you know what the appointment process was?

Hornby was quoted in an interview saying his agent got in touch and decided to go with him, unless you know different we never held interviews with anyone else

4 games in, by 10 ill be worried but not now, Derby or not, always hard for newly promoted teams.

We have played FOUR games.Two home draws we could concievably have won and two odd-goal away defeats,one of them to the current unbeaten League leaders.Yes you can make statistics mean anything but that is not the form to bring about meltdown and demand the managers head (not at this stage anyway). Lets not forget that the current covid situation has affected recruitment. There are good players still to commit themselves to any club because of the uncertain future. As has been said that should start to unravel in the next few weeks as deadlines approach. It has been said that we are missing Platt. Add to that Nthle and Zouma(at least today) missing,Brough,Kay and Quigley are still not up to match fitness and the likes of Brown are being forced to play way out of their comfort zone. In a nutshell we are still not a settled side . Not blinkered and if we are similar in half a dozen games time I will agree with much of the above but until then I'll reserve judgement.
