I seriously question his agenda here. We put in arguably our best performance against Carlisle with Bridge scoring two and he changes it the next game! Most managers if not all would stick with the same team but not Keith. I find his constant changing of the team ever so slightly annoying  Embarrassed

That's note quite true. Cambridge away was the next game and Bridge played as the 10 there. It was only the subsequent game that he was shifted to LWB due to Cox injury.

The whole midfield disappeared when he bought pollock on, that's not a dig at Pollock or Williams.

When a teams losing, there will always be issues that surface. When its winning, happy days.

I think its that simple. I remember being told that Rico was a big problem!

We've 3 players still, 2 of which were regulars, that were here when we romped the league. JJOT, Buch and Hoskins. These 3 players, for whatever reasons, wouldn't even be classed as being in our top 5 players at the minute, so that shows that individual ability isn't necessarily our problem.

People talk about a succession of managers. This happens at almost every club. Look up the road at Boro. Who remain in a solid position, pushing for a play off place in the league above. This despite them having no managerial continuity. 

23 of the 92 managers in England's top 4 divisions have been in place for less time than Keith!  Out of those 7 are in our division. 3 of those teams are above us! Its utter codswallop that teams thrive on having a manager in place for a long period of time. Division2 currently:

1. Lincoln - 2 years 266 days.
2. Mansfield - 339 days.
3. Bury - 1 year, 19 days.
4. Forest Green - 2 years 270 days.
5. Carlisle - 18 days.
6. Milton Keynes - 242 days.
7. Exeter - 247 days.

So from the teams in the promotion positions, 4 of the 7 haven't even been in post for a year!  Grin

Quite clearly, our current issues are a combination of a manager not getting the best out of his players and (b) the players themselves. Whether thats ability, desire, motivation, whatever...its subjective.

Its worth noting that Bury, who are 3rd, were worse than us 9 months ago. Milton Keynes were on a par.

I think sometimes, people try and over complicate things. When KC arrived, he quickly got them playing 4-4-2, direct, simple stuff. It worked, we won. The bad run coincided with him making drastic formation changes, personnel changes week in week out and we are now a confused muddle of a side that individually and collectively doesn't seem to know what its job/s are. So for me, he should just go back to what was working and see where that takes us. As a first point of call.

We have had a lot of injuries which hasn't helped to keep a settled side. We lost most of our central midfielders at one point, this has badly effected us.

We only played 4-4-2 in a handful of games and in most of those we played a solid 3 in central midfield, which recently we haven't been able to do.

On Saturday we were missing Cox, Foley, Turnbull and JJOT was only half-fit. We also had a number of players who were making their debuts as well as others just making their second or third appearances. It's a difficult transition for all these elements to come together, as players return/settle in things will improve IMO.

Some great points well made DC. If Curlio has got any sense he will follow the advice in your last paragraph to a T. Unfortunately latest dispatches from the Chronic suggest otherwise?

Being as Curle likes to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to injuries I guess we can’t be sure...the only other enforced chance was when Foley was suspended for his red card!

The last week should shifted a few of the reactive naysayers onto the back foot hopefully. Couple of decent results.

My opinions haven't changed. But he's had a very good week. Certainly hope he builds on it now  Smiley

This last week has probably saved his job in my view .
I had heard he was under serious pressure internally .
The problem he has is that he cannot play such a negative system at home with just Hoskins up front .
We have hardly any creativity in the side at all and rely on counter attacking which we are not that great at anyway .
He won’t get away with that against Crawley at home

If the season had started started at the start of october when Curle started, we would currently be just outside the play-offs in around 9-10th. That considering we kept the majority of a failing squad and have since got rid of our 2 best players is quite a decent start. Im happy with what he's done so far even with some baffling decisions/the odd negative set up. After 21 games next season is where we should see how good/bad a job he has done with more of his own team.

He has still got a bit to do in my opinion, two decent away results haven't wiped away the memory of the Colchester performance, of which I think KC has to take a fair proportion of the blame

He's essentially thrown in our strongest most reliable players after being caned by Colchester. Still a long way to go to see if he can knit wins together and seriously impact the top half.

Avoiding relegation is his brief and I reckon he'll do that.
