Maybe Steve Clemence - nice fella that he is - has lost certain key/or senior players in the changing room that could well be rubbing of on the others!
I thought that with Fleetwood we might have just turned the corner.
On this display, evidently not.

We've been shit since this time last year to be fair. Spent the last half of last season in relegation form, it was absolutely criminal how we missed out on the playoffs. Quite happy to be proven wrong of course but I don't believe changing the manager will bring the immediate turnaround people think it will.
Popular side since '03.

In that case, it all depends on who we sign in January then.

I don’t think it’s all down to the manager personally. Majority of the players aren’t up to it. Just not good enough. No bottle.

Absolutely spanked there, amazing what happens when you shoot with the ball instead of trying to walk it into the net, unlucky to have one chalked off, but for me that's it for clemence.... absolutely no Plan B and we will be lucky to pull a win from a magic hat with the way we set up now.

SC should do the decent thing and resign, feel for the travellers we have showed no heart whatsoever. Just about everything that could go wrong did no one comes away with any credit. We are relegation bound with Carlisle.

Cant keep sacking managers .Think the players need to take a hard look at themselves.

100% agree. This goes back to the last 12-15 games of last season and the reason it wasn’t addressed in summer is because we had too many forward players still contracted for this season and there will have a been a call made that they may come good under a new manager. It hasn’t happened. Clemence, as with Wild can’t get the team scoring. Thats not all down to the Coach though is it. When they get into that 18 yard box their instinct and ability has to kick in. There’s only so much training and coaching can do during the week, on match day, a coach can’t make that split second decision for them and if it’s not there then it won’t be there under a new coach. Look at Bradford - Old man Cook scores another brace today. That’s the difference, he’s got that ability in front of goal to consistently find the net.

Now we are starting to be undone at the other end and those two things together are a recipe for sliding down the table.

Not happy about it because it would be another pay off but we are only going one way at the moment. The question is - is his coaching and his system good enough with the right players.- ie is he as frustrated as the fans that this group of players don’t seem to be up to it. Put an Andy Cook in the team would we be a top 7 side. That’s the key question for me.

Predictable . If we concede an early goal you know that’s it game over. And when we don’t concede early you know there’s going to be a late one going in.
