Rubbish again ad no boss in our history has been given the buget jimmy has.
Yes, it must be all rubbish if you say so. Again no credible discussion. Colin Calderwood was given a comparative budget allowing for the inflated prices now paid in wages and fees I would suggest. Colin was with us for three years before finally achieving success in 2006. Jimmy has been with us since September.

I don't want a manager in charge who is going to think of us as "little old Northampton". I don't want a manager in charge who is afraid to set up our team to go at other teams. Such a small minded mentality.
That doesn't mean I want JFH sacked btw. Just that I don't want him in charge.

Jimmy's PR certainly could do with a bit of work and that's being kind.

JFH won’t change - there is a streak of arrogance that suggests he will do it his way whatever (even if we are relegated and I suspect no skin of his nose if we do) - Wilder went through s***e phases with both us and the blades - but he was testing and learning and it’s where you need a level of humility - JFH lacks that, and with his current very limited tactical ability unlikely to get any better - we might just stay up but this manager is not going to take us to better things.

I hear Sol Campbell is available if we fancy another change!

I mean I don't like him as our manager. I'd rather he wasn't in charge. I also appreciate it's nowhere near bad enough yet to demand a change and it's also completely the wrong time to change a manager.

How do these managers get their international coaching badges?
Groundhog day for me, despite new managers, 100's of different players, modern player tracking technology, top physical, medical and mental help, awareness and facilities the football on show today was little different to many games from 15 years ago and more.
Basically get it away from our goal is the main objective. How can any qualified coach and manager stand and watch his team at home play one central striker who never once won a header or even gained possession from our clearances. First half Long actually mades some good runs between their centre-half but we always kicked it to the defender, when Long was near the ball he never won it.
How the hell you lot put up with that week after week is beyond me. What a load of old cobblers!

Are you suggesting that Jimmy wouldn't care if he adds a relegation to his CV? I find this very hard to believe. Jimmy I feel will wan't to succeed in the way Wilder eventually did and then move on up the manager pecking order with a larger more high profile club in the same fashion.

We should have won. We made the chances. We didn't score. Several players were guilty but this happens. How many games over the last 15 years have we been battered only to sneak up the other end and get a fortunate winner. We take those days just when they come along like we should take games like today in the same fashion. Suffer well.

1. As I've pointed out many times before, playing one up front is pretty much the rule these days at all levels. Welcome to the 21st Century. 2. As he's pointed out, his other striking options are injured.

He moved up the "pecking order" at QPR. And failed.

1 when playing said syste the striker needs to hold the ball up and bring ithets into play as the previous poster has said to make the system work, that did not happen as said striker was and us regually so isolated. 2. Is down to his inability to bring in another recognised striker when he should have done on letting revs and rico

Exactly how I feel. In the short term, I fear he will not make some obvious changes and will take us down. But changing manager now would be a terrible decision. Long term, I’m pretty sure this tenure is going nowhere.

I'm not sure if this has been picked up on, but that was our first clean sheet since 25 November (0-0 v Bury).
In news that should shock no-one, we haven't kept back-to-back clean sheets this season. You have to go back to August 2016 for that (Two more 0-0 draws under the stewardship of some guy called Rob Page).

That’s exactly what I’m suggesting- you make the mistake of thinking managers and players care as much as supporters - bad managers continue to get jobs irrespective of performance plus add a “name” factor and they are guaranteed a living (agreed maybe not progressing much) - JFH is tactically terrible and lacks the inspiration factor - both failings clear to see today - did you see our movement for throw ins? - truly pathetic. Significantly JFH has sold or totally sidelined certain players with passion - they may have their faults and shortcomings but I suspect these are players who challenged the dire tactics

Surely JFH deserves some credit for not picking Grimes today?

Here are six pages of managers currently without a job (and that's just the English ones). https://www.transfermarkt.com/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik/?statistik=189&plus=0Are they guaranteed a living? Some may have retired or earn a crust as a pundit but not all. I do take you point on throw ins, something I have mentioned myself, shocking, but this seems to have been the case for years. Bring back Tozer shall we Rico, Revell are gone. Now employed at the correct level in my view although Richards might just get promoted back with Swindon, time will tell. Good luck to him. Buchanan was the week link early in the season, not because he did't care or try but because he has become slower naturally. I hope you didn't mean Hanley

The problem is not playing one up front. The problem is the whole balance of the team is wrong. JJOT is the physical presence. There is nobody else out there capable of winning the ball in midfield / up front. It is very difficult to control the game without some of these types of player. The problem is playing people out of position. Haven’t we got a squad of 35 or something? Why the f@ck do we keep picking players out of their natural positions. Somebody please explain to me why the f@cking, f@ck we finished with two right backs on the pitch today!? The problem is a negative mindset, an obsession with stopping the opposition from playing. The result is constant tinkering and fiddling with our team, disrupting any possibility of the flow or continuity that comes with a settled side. The problem is that players who have performed well are inexplicably dropped/subbed to execute these negative plans. Meanwhile, those that perform poorly on a consistent basis keep their place (Grimes, Bunny). The problem is that things are being over complicated. Pick a system that plays to the strengths of the players in our squad. Make sure our players are well drilled in the mechanics of this system. Pick players in their natural positions to fulfil the roles within this system. Let the squad offer natural competition for places. If players perform they keep the shirt, if they don’t give the next guy a chance.

I was very disappointed with JFH today. His sacastic applause to the crowd was not good! How dare you question our judgment of you and your team! We have not been ‘entertained ‘ in the last 3 home games and have put up with poor football for 2 years in L1. You have been given good support by the management and it is not producing good results. Your players are paid more than most of us earn and you excuse them by saying that they are not fully match fit. Give me strength...what do you do with them all week Jimmy! NOBODY WANTS THE BLOODY BALL FROM A THROW IN!!!! I love football but you are serving up boring dross! Get a grip and realise that Hoskins (who I had great hopes for) is not good enough! The boos were at your substitution choice...not the players!
