Please Mr KC can you please tell me what 'our fundamentals' are? Do they include, shots on target, secure defence, ability to pass the ball, maintaining possession, hunger and desire, having a plan, being honest about our performance relative to the opposition, picking the right players in a system with a chance of success, or none of the above?

If we lose on Saturday the knives will definitely be out.

"A penalty shoot out is a great opportunity for the players to show what they're about"
"When things aren't going well you find out about the fabric and the DNA of a football club"
Fundamentals, jigsaws and dominos......you could publish a book all about Curle's quotes.......it wouldn't win any awards with the Plain English Campaign though.......

As i have said before , Curle’s pseudo psychology blarney is his worst trait . He talks total rubbish and tries to make out he has an in depth philosophy of life and the way football should be run . The reality is he hasn’t a clue and it’s all hogwash . Just get the team motivated and playing football the way it should be played Keith and you might do us all a favour

Defeat on Saturday and I think his job is untenable to be quite honest.

Out of interest, was I the only person watching last night willing on a landslide victory for Stevenage?
Could have had the clueless one gone before the weekend, with someone competent in to focus on the league.
Now I'm left wanting us to pick up points on Saturday but wanting him gone at the same time!

I'm all for giving a manager a chance. But i just can't see how this can or will be turned around anytime soon with KC in charge. As the saying goes "keep doing the same things and you will get the same results"

KC is wrong to train on the Sixfields pitch. Playing at home should be an advantage BUT we have more away wins to home wins! Moulton has been good enough previously and been improved since.
KC is wrong to play so many players out of position;
Harriman is a really good full back not wing back Adams is a creative wide midfielder not a left wing back Hoskins can only be productive just behind a front two Roberts can supply crosses from the left midfield not a wing back
Nullifying opposition instead of imposing ourselves on opposition is only producing non productive boring football.
KC please change or you will be!

Can't argue with any of this.

You have a strange choice of username, you would think he was your hero but clearly he's not

I wonder how Wales would have got on in the last 3 games with KC in charge, instead of a much derided (by some) former Cobblers manager.

Just playing Devil's Advocate for a minute.
I'm assuming that Curles "Housekeeping" means we are working with a playing budget thats League 2 level? Then that means that this season is a free hit in terms of finances. If we go down, KT won't be too disappointed because we haven't gambled on staying up and then left with a League 1 playing budget in League 2 (similar to what happened when we got relegated last time) and if we stay up, even better?
Rotherham are the only team in the Championship who make a profit. Yes, they are always flirting with relegation and all their best players eventually get poached but they are a well run club that lives within their means.
I also am not enjoying watching the hoofball tactics and there are large parts of the team which don't seem to want it this season. But, i would rather have a club run on conservative finances rather than speculative finances.
I'm pretty sure KC will have until January at least. If we aren't cut adrift i think KC has earned the right to fight for the season. I agree he needs to try something different and needs to get back that fighting spirit we had in the playoffs. I remember posting on here last season at a similar time in the season to get Curle out and he managed to recover and i was too early to call for his head so this time i am just going to give him more time.
The other problem is who would replace him, lets be honest we are not going to attract the likes of Paul Cook and the Cowley Brothers. We would just get in another KC type of manager and it would only take a few dodgy results and performances for us to jump on their back.
As many have said, survival is the number one aim but to give him credit, KC's housekeeping has probably meant that it isn't essential.

That all sounds about right. I'm not sure about the budget though. KC and KT will both title it as a competitive budget. Just because they and every other manager does.
