On paper Matete, Goodwin and Bennett should be starting every game. But sadly according to Des they are bench warmers at best, and look like headless chickens when they do get a chance.
We are a team of 11 headless chickens, it’s disgraceful the effect Des has had on our players, and in such a short amount of time too….. we can’t give him another transfer window.
I say replace now, and bring in someone with buckets of previous managerial experience until the end of the season. Then we’d still have a fighting chance of making the play offs.
It’s very unlikely yesWe are not making the play offs.
5 wins in 8 games?
Can’t see Des being sacked next week if we win on Saturday. If we win on Saturday, we probably only need four more wins to make the play-offs. Make the play offs and he isn’t sacked in the summer. Really if he manages that, he will have proven quite a few people wrong, and will be given a transfer window and a few more months.
So the end is not necessarily nigh.
Probably age, and when you look at the rest of the league they're largely settled at LB. Better options for Championship clubs, wages too high for L2. I think he's looked quite good when he's played.Why Bennett?
Should he be starting ahead of Leigh? And why didn't he have a club when we signed him?
I think there's also a massive part of those decent players being thought of as decent on a reputation from history, which has not matched up with the reality of where they are now recovering from serious injuries.Just looking back I rated it a 3 (although I couldn't find the post window thread).
Other's probably rated it higher because we signed some decent players - Des just has a knack of making decent players shite.
Never a truer word spokenI wouldn’t fancy Des to outfox a piece of carrot cake when it comes to winning games of football.
High there. I think you might still be drunk.Can’t see Des being sacked next week if we win on Saturday. If we win on Saturday, we probably only need four more wins to make the play-offs.

Definitely not as a permanent solution, but he did bring everyone together after Manning left, and it galvanised the fans and players, and while I don’t think it will turn around our season now at this point, I don’t think anything will, but it will at least bring everyone back together again, and hopefully create a bit of harmony and positivity going into the summer, ready for what is gonna have to be a massive rebuild job.Isn't Short part of the problem?
Under him we won but nearly blew a 3 goal lead. Really not sure that would be a good choice.
We are not making the play offs.

A new manager bounce could achieve that...
That's a very long shot . . and even less likely if some of the players don't give the new appointment their blessing. Player power has seemingly taken over and we won't achieve anything until those disruptors are either ejected from the squad or put in their place and we have a set of players who know what knuckling down and working as a a team to achieve a goal actually means.A new manager bounce could achieve that...
