I was prepared to back David Dunn and I had confidence that we weren't far away from turning it around but that just seeps away with every game. His record here and throughout his short managerial career just proves he isn't a manager. 2 wins from 20 odd games here and 7 from 50ish overall.

Survival was the reasonable expectation this year but to do that you need to be difficult to beat, which we just aren't. It doesn't matter that we've scored twice, because we will concede 4. He's a likeable guy and I do feel sorry for him but the more the season progresses it proves that he's just not cut out for management.

I think it's time for our board to take stock and get someone in that's got experience at this level, which should have been done after Evatt left. I fear that if we get relegated we will never get back. There's a reason we spent 50 years in non-league and that's because opportunities don't come around like this very often for clubs like us.
Sums up my feelings nicely. Now off the fence. Sorry David, seems like a nice guy but this situation just isn't sustainable.
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

I do hope that the board have been looking at who they can bring in to replace David Dunn as I hope for our sake it’s not a panic appointment. Unfortunately David Dunn’s appointment did nothing from me from the very start, I think I was quite bemused and deflated. 48 years and now after the start we have had we will beginning another spell in the wilderness if we don’t act now.

I hope they hold interviews, we can't afford another f*** up ( that's if they sack him) because it should have been after that Oldham game.

Well I did not want his appointment as stated from the start.
The team has no confidence if we get a penalty we struggle to score,the number of disciplinary points will cost using players being out and financially.
We should be Managerless tomorrow.
Nothing is improving and you can see the lack of confidence is seen throughout the team.

If the Board cannot afford a replacement maybe Jones and Hird or another player
can work together as joint Managers.
We would accept any position as long as it's not relegation.

Bloody RC saying Barrow not a sacking club give him till the January window.
Stated Evatt had a bad run! But I think that was sorted after about 10 matchs which RC never said

If anyone is wondering where I am, I am about 300 miles over the Dunn out fence. Resign and do us all a favour.

Was this a commentator opinion or the dreaded board vote of confidence?

If you're going to make a change, do it now. Gives a new coach the ability to look at the squad over the Christmas period and identify what needs changing in January, which is obviously the midfield.
