Accrington Stanley don't regularly sack managers if we're using them as an example. Current manager is 6 years into his second spell at the club.

Someone should tell Accrington Stanley, they seem to be doing ok with much less money than we have.
For every Accrington there is a dozen Bury, Bolton's.

At long last Bungle's post places a wealth of realism on this site, as usual I keep my powder dry about being positive about KC for fear of the doom mongers letting rip on this site.

Strange comparison when Bury have gone and Bolton CC very nearly so?

My issue with replacing managers has always been the same, a clear plan and strategy regarding who and what comes next? If it was my decision I would like a candidate who has a proven track record of building a squad from scratch at this level. Definitely a promotion or 2 and a use of tactics that promote exciting football. No obvious failures or justified sackings at this level would be preferable with a hunger and desire to succeed? In addition there would need to be a budget to support such an appointment in terms of their salary, length of contract and to develop and mould the squad to achieve the desired result, otherwise what’s the point? On the other hand use the plan most adopt on here which is to kick out the current manager 3 months into a season after a promotion in some knee jerk ill thought out petulant reaction and worry about all that b0ll0ks once they’ve been shown the door? Brilliant!
Keith Curle would have never got near the place had your criteria been used a couple of years ago!!

2) if we loose a couple of our key players, Holmes or Sheehan for example we are in deep sh1t, the squad in nowhere near strong enough. 3) to say Curle is doing a decent job is IMO just not correct, the debacle at Oxford City, his bizarre substitutions and the general fitness of the team dropping deeper and deeper second half of games are big question marks for me. IF KT give Curlio some money to spend in Jan, we need two or three L1 standard players, I think there is a chance we can finish outside of the bottom four, otherwise no chance.
Interesting points. I agree with you that the depth of the squad is a bit of a concern. I think getting in some decent loanees might be the answer. Curle used the loan market really effectively last year (Wharton and Morton) but for whatever reason he hasn't managed to bring in comparable quality this season (Racic, Nuttall). I think Curle will be well aware of the need for reinforcements, especially in defence and I think we'll see some movement there.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he has purposely churned up the pitch to give an advantage over teams that play proper football the way it should be played . Moulton school and Covid is probably a convenient excuse

Not necessarily a bad tactic in my opinion. Stop the teams with players that have greater technical ability from being comfortable. Stoke did it for years in the PL and it seemed to work (particularly whenever they played Arsenal).

Fleetwood hardly had any direct shot on goal which had to be saved. Not sure how you can make an absurd comment that a poor pitch helps. If you have the quality then that is the determining factor. The side which resolutely defends often gets some reward.

The results seem to suggest the pitch hinders rather than helped before last night.

You seem to be in violent agreement with me . It stops good sides playing - exactly my point which you say is absurd ! I think Curle has used Covid as an excuse for perpetrating it .

Still Curle out for me. Watching this drivel is no pleasure. The only blip of delight is when a goal goes in or any points are gained after 90+ minutes of painful angst.

Now that supporters are allowed back into the ground , I am not sure Curle will be able to get away with some of the dross served up at home . He has admitted himself that the pitch has forced us to play even more directly than before . Watching is soak up swathes of pressure and hoping to score from a set piece as we sit on the edge of our penalty area, kicking the ball away is simply not acceptable as entertainment. Keith constantly states everyone buys into what we are trying to do .... well I don’t .

No point bleating miserably on here all the time. The majority don’t share your views.

And I completely agree. It is dire to watch.
