    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    We already have "fans" calling for Rob Elliot to be sacked at Crawley. Got feel sorry for him. The squad he has been served up just does not have the wherewithal to compete. For instance, two of the three defenders had one season in the pro game and the other had 4 games. The two pivots we...

    I didn't go to the Northampton game yesterday and I'm bloody glad I didn't! Those who did say Crawley were completely powderpuff, slow and preferred to keep the ball to trying to attack. Sums up our season. Watched the highlights, the defending for the first goal was terrible! Short corner...

    I'm not despondent. I just don't think we have the players to do well in this league. It's about levels, a player can be good at league 2 and look rubbish at league 1. I'm hearing we went with a back four of 4 centre backs last night ( no full backs at the club) plus a more direct counter...

    Dear lord what happened. I'm far away and no access to anything but a friend's texts. Thanks Lincoln, always liked you. Casey

    I'm not sure we will win another game until January when we can get some defenders in. Mukena is a young lad who will come good but leaving him on his own at the back while the other two defenders fly forward us unfair in him. I believe the modern term for it is rest defence. There should be 3...

    Benjamin Tanimu made his debut away at Reading yesterday. He got 12 minutes and we didn't concede while he was on the pitch. Casey

    First calls for Rob Elliot to be sacked I'm a long way away so no real comment apart from we look great between the boxes and crap in them. The players we have are not good enough to stay in the league so it is a bit unfair to blame the current manager but football has never been fair. Casey

    Just signed free agent Tyreece John-Jules. Ex Arsenal but never played. Been on loan at Lincoln, Donny and Ipswich. His record says he is a one goal in four striker but it's hard to say with youngsters as they tend to play as subs and such Casey He is related to Cat

    Flint and Williams suspended for Crawley. That leaves our defence looking woefully light. I'd bring in Malone but the ' betting' is he will not play for quite a while. Conroy, the club captain, has been injured all season and was last seen with a big boot. That leaves us with a back three of...

    We let in 9 goals last week and scored 6. I'm not a football coach but I have a sneaking suspicion of what area we need to work on. Flint getting himself sent off was stupid. Pretty much the same foul within ten minutes. Obviously misses the next game but I think that makes five bookings. He...

    We were doing ok until the sending off (I would have given the two yellows) . Then Elliot had a brain fart and replaced the midfield. Good grief Mularky is a liability! Barker isn't ready for league football and after those subs, and where he played them, I'm not sure Elliot is either. If we...

    We ain't very good. Luckily, not or they. After seeing us v Bolton and Mansfield recently this is a poor showing. If we can perform as we did in those two loses we were walking this game. Sorry Salop. Casey

    Still got two games on today. Crawley v Shrewsbury Peterborough v Rotherham. We're so tinpot we can't get games off for international call ups but Lancing (on the Sussex coast) playing in Isthmian League South East division can! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cjr3p81ddppo...

    Addai only really become a football league keeper in the last six months he was with us. When I first saw him he was just some bloke who played in goal because he couldn't get a game on the pitch. He has honestly came on in leaps and bounds. What he needs to do next is stop passing to players...

    Short answer. Not the foggiest. We put out 'Today at training ' videos and no one has seen him on these either but we did get a 'Welcome to Crawley' Video so he has at least been at the club. Re the transfer fee. We had a 'friend ' of Lindsey on our forum who stated quite categorically that...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    I feel a bit sorry for our manager...and the previous one . Lindsey obviously looked at us and said 'no chance' of beating the drop. Now Elliot is left to pick up the pieces. Need to be a cross between Pep and Klopp to keep us up. Just too many changes from last season. Our game at Wycombe we...

    We got Connall Trueman from Millwall. I have no idea but the most games in a season was 19 for Wimbledon on loan. Casey
