My opinion on curle is that he will do the job he came into the club to achieve (keep us in the league).
But is not the man to take us forward - and of season parting of ways maybe the best outcome.

Let’s face it ,it’s not the hardest job in the world keeping us up with a decent budget and some rank teams in the division. He’s doing a bang average job in my view and has an awful lot of work to do for it to improve . I have no confidence in him for next season at all . The bloke is full of sh*t

Blames others, bigs up himself, makes sh1t jokes that only he laughs at.
Complete fraud who fails to do the basics. The only real plus of his reign so far is Charlie Goode

Don't want him gone...we've had enough of that quite recently! Nevertheless, think everything you say is spot on... though must have missed his jokes!

In Keith Curle's defence he has done two things in recent games which have helped to improve results, if not entirely inspiring football. He has played more physical midfield players, meaning we are not getting bullied anymore. This was fundamental after the Cambridge and Morecambe games and being phsically competitive is a must in this division. He has also tinkered less for the last 3 games, injury permitting. Whether or not we agree with the current formation, at least it gives the players more chance to build understanding.
I'm confident that continuing this approach will be enough to keep us up, but I haven't yet seen signs that KC can take us on a promotion charge next season. Our 2 new midfielders have looked pretty average so far (I'd take Sam Foley over both of them) and unfortunately Cox and Sordell have hardly played due to injury. Only Goode so far has clearly looked the part.

What was it about KCs CV that suggested we were going to be anything more than this when he got the job, especially with this squad? It’s not an excuse because the last 2 home performances have been underwhelming to say the least, but even so? The problem is that his methods with regards to tinkering are controversial, therefore if it doesn’t produce results and or performances then he’s just asking for it. As unpalatable as it is, I just feel that the current points tally and position is probably the best we could have realistically hoped for? The real dilemma is do you a) give him the opportunity to rebuild the squad in the summer or b) give it to someone untested and tried? Seems harsh because I think he has done what could have been reasonably expected in terms of results, but the net result is that confidence in him to take the club forward has unquestionably been affected.

Chris Wilder would have been ‘at em’
No way would he have set us up for a draw before the ball is kicked.
It is an entertainment business and the fans are being let down in this respect.
I have never been so bored watching live sport.
Please entertain us. You know I don’t mind losing if it’s a good game and we have had a go.

Yesterday was a right old turgid game, left me wondering why I bother. However, how many of us would have preferred to see us lose an entertaining game 2-3 rather than 'gain' another point?

Next time you go into a game with the sole intention not to concede a goal Mr Curle , can you tell the fans in advance so that we can make the decision whether to bother turning up or not . He’s not connecting to the fans at all and I’m not sure he’s bothered

Precisely; we all know it was a disappointing game but the defence was ok, as was Cornell. We also gained a point! Some on here seem intent on committing mass self harm. I also deplore the recent abuse of KC; who would if any of them would like to take his place and suffer the same OTT abuse.

...........................................
Really ..............its funny that I can remember a spell in CW's reign that he was subjected to a degree of 'get rid', 'clueless tactics' and so on. I can also remember the loss against Dagenham with a display not too dissimiliar to yesterdays effort.

It goes without saying that supporters have every right to demand that they are entertained. The issue with this is that it is directly at odds with the remit of a manager who’s business it is to get results. In fairness to KC his issue is that we have been in free fall for a couple of years and to expect a significant turnaround following a few months and a January transfer window is a bit unrealistic. For him grinding out results and getting us to limp across the line if necessary is his primary goal and he would be a fool to martyr himself on the back of some gung ho philosophy. Not what we want to hear, but given his job is on the line it’s understandable if not frustrating. IMO the problem comes down to the quality of the squad. Most of us on here have been supporters for many a year. Hand on heart if you were to give each player a mark out of 10 as a professional footballer at this level what would you give the individuals in our squad? Looking back at our squads that were successful they were littered with 8s & 9s and even the odd 10. IMO this one in the main has 6s & 7s with 1 or possibly 2 8s at a push. I don’t think we have any particularly rubbish players just far too many that are “ok” and that is the real problem facing us at the moment. Because we have been too mediocre too often KCs somewhat controversial methods aren’t going to do him any favours. But I feel that it’s a bit of an irrelevant issue because it isn’t the root cause of our problems that have been on going for a few seasons, and that is p1ss poor recruitment that has left us short on certain missing qualities for too long.

I hope the 'Jonahs' on here read Mellys post above as it is a reasonable summary of the current day situation.

I find him really arrogant. Having said that, I found Wilder arrogant Difference is Wilder knew what he was doing and had did convert his objectives to the fans. He also held up his hands when it didn’t work. (Mansfield away) You can see why both Curle held a job down at Carlisle for so long, but also why their fans don’t hold him in high regard. Perhaps we should try getting some more defenders on the pitch

If his brief was to survive the threat of relegation then he’s achieving that. If it was also to try and offset the reduction in income following relegation then he’s also achieved that by offloading Crooks, Van Veen and Kasim. I couldn’t see the rationale in letting Oddofin leave though.
As his contract is only until the end of the season I’d be suprised and disappointed if it was extended for next year.
There is, yet again, major reconstruction needed for this squad and although he knows the division I doubt he will move us forward in footballing or entertainment.
I’ll probably renew as it’s what I do on a Saturday but it’s a closer decision than usual for me. Apathy reigns

I think someone should just take this city of Peterborough and just... just flush it down the f***in' toilet

Agree with above but don't see him going anywhere at end of season.

In this league you have to play with a target man. Most footballers default position when under pressure at level is to go long. Cornell early on in the game went long to a tiny centre forward. He changed after a while and tried to hit Goode because it wasn't working with Sam. This is where I just can't believe his selection at home when the onus is to attack. I get it more away from home but even then a more physical hold play is needed to relieve the pressure and get other players into the game. Did anybody else hear the ironic cheers when Andy Williams headed the ball when he came on? I have to question what the hell is he thinking?
