Not really .
The buck stops with him.
The results or lack of them are there for all to see.

Much improved performance tonight.Passing was a lot more accurate.Overall the defence was ok.Goal by Andy Cook was unfortunate but when you have him on your side it is always possible.The game was entertaining to watch wish was a marked improvement a a lot of the recent games.I just hope we play similar against MK on Saturday.If we do we may get that illusive win.Fingers crossed.

Yes atm our results are terrible, So using your logic against you, Did you clammer for him to get a 10 yr contract extension when our results saw us go top?? Cause you didn't because that would be a foolish knee jerk reaction wouldn't it.

One win from ten league games says it all.
You sound like someone who voted for Brexit and still think it's a success.
Iceberg what Iceberg.
Clemence is our new day Norman Bodell.

Decent summary bar the bit about Cookys goal; it was crap defending once again pure and simple, you can’t allow Cooky a free header in the middle of the goal FFS

Cooky has been doing this for years. He does nowt all game then drifts away from defenders and knocks one in

FORZA BLUEBIRDS, lets hope this we can build on this performance for a very tricky game on Saturday against MK Dons. Bluebird per sempre.

That’s very harsh Pedro. Bodell was the worst ever appointment made by a well meaning BoD at the time that had absolutely no idea what it took to run a professional EFL club.

I can’t agree more that the current run and the way the results are mapping out is incredibly frustrating. But I also think it’s pretty obvious now that our early season form was not a true reflection of our real level and that you also have to give SC great credit for that.

I see little if any evidence that he has lost the confidence of the players and as with several other clubs we are only a couple of results away from being back in the play/off picture. For as long as that remains the case and home attendances remain decent we grin and bear it - as we have always done. The idea that simply changing managers in itself generates long term improvement is not supported by the stats.

There will be factors in play that inevitably mean that this run will change - for better or worse and then your demands will either be proven correct or look a bit stupid. I have enough trust in the owners these days to know when that point might be.

Neither should we lose perspective. At any other time last nights point and performance would be seen as decent. Which it was. Although the pattern of scoring was familiar it does not mean that every game reflects the same narrative.

Yep, it was inevitable. Noticed they made 4 changes prior to their goal and left Cook on for the full 90 minutes, Their manager knows his value to that side. He’s keeping a mid table team within touching distance of the top 7. Bradford fans voting with their feet though. A low crowd by their standards.

"A low crowd by their standards." Which means less money for Gordon Gibb's pension fund!

Should Farman have come out and punched the ball?

But cook is a clever centre forward he finds the yard of space before dispatching it like him or loathe him he gets paid good coin for scoring and he does it every season
