Or the straw hat bol**cks that the club used to desperately try to create some kind of connection with the supporters!

It is now his own squad, his own "style".
There are NO excuses. His recruitment has been shown to be poor, he has recruited a team of mundane players with no excitement and a very dull (and obvious) game plan.

So as the fifth manager in 4 years is under pressure still nothing to do with the tools at his disposal??? or his working conditions?

I've mentioned it before but I think there is a more deep rooted problem with the club. Curle, Page, Edinburgh and Hasselbaink can't all be bad managers. In fact, we are the only blip in what was a strong managerial career for Edinburgh. Is it a coincidence that Hasselbaink, Page and Edinburgh all had their lowest win percentage with us?

The decision to loan Williams out seems farcical , despite Goode pulling out late in the day . I assume he did play for Wellingborough on Saturday ? The notion of it being somehow acceptable that Curle keeps us up is nonsense . He has the budget and free reign to challenge for the play offs at least and should be doing so . Furthermore , he will he expected to develop the youngsters through his coaching staff that he appointed .
If he is the same at Northampton as he was at Carlisle he will go nowhere near the youth team/youngsters, he simply isn't interested. He watched ONE Carlisle Youth team IN 3 SEASONS!!!! (and he didn't watch all of that game) Since he left, 4 youngsters have been on the bench or have been included in the first team, (and they were all here when Curle was, infact two of them have moved on to Leeds United), kind of says a lot doesn't it?

He hasn’t been the same here. He’s given more game time and more contracts to young academy players than any of our managers I can remember in the last 15 years.

That’s one way of viewing it I suppose !

On the subject of KFC, can anybody remember a time when he made changes to tactics or a substitution during the game to change it for the better.
Keith biggest problem is the on the 50% of occasions when Plan A is flawed her has no plan B, other than making random subs with no real plan of why.
The sooner he is gone the better.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he’s a dinosaur. His main tactic is to stop the opponents from playing. He can identify the better teams threats and set out to nullify them, but when we play the weaker and lesser teams he’s clueless. Look at the results....remember the ‘easier games to come’ thread...that would look good at the moment wouldn’t it?!
Most times in watching this team I can not see what the plan is at all. Width or no width, passing or long ball, there just seems to be a mish mash of everything and nothing done very well.
Take the shackles off, play to OUR strengths for once, give the opposition something to think about for once...we have good players, but I don’t think they are being ‘allowed’ to play.

There's a worrying trend that every manager since Wilder has been obsessed with stopping the opposition rather than imposing our game on them. What is it about our club that puts them in a negative frame of mind?

There was a time after the miraculous avoiding of relegation and before the run that led to league champions that Wilder was heavily criticised for his style of play. He was serving notice at Oxford because they did not like his negative tactics. Even at the beginning of the run we were winning games playing in a pretty dour way with fans appreciating the win rather than enjoying the performance. Let's be realistic we want 3 points and it doesn't matter how we get them. I've never ever seem a fan's report saying his team played the right tactics and expansive football after they lost.

Playing the way KFC does he has to win games. If he dosnt then he isnt going to win any friends due to his lack of style.
At best he has an average plan A and no plan B.
Keiths motto to his players is win together, lose and your on your own

Yeah, because after fifty eight games in charge, he’s just about to go ‘back to basics’

Why ? KFC should not keep his job just because we have sacked our previous 4 managers. Get him gone

I agree, he is unaware of his best 11, his best formation, or his best substitutes. Or the timing of them. He sets out not to lose, far too early, and does not know how to win. Its boring s***e at best. And he can do one with the time wasting as well.

Curle’s players , Curle’s tactics , Curle’s team selections. Some of the worst football I have ever seen us play in 45 years . Nil entertainment . No development of the younger players at all. Lost interest in the home games and completely stopped going to away games. It’s down to one man . Keith Curle .
