This has done little to appease my frustration I’m afraid. In a fit of new found maturity I’ve resisted sarcastic comments about top managers now leaving best players on the bench to give them an opportunity to study the opposition’s weaknesses “the stalking lion” tactic? Bugger, now I’ve done it?

just checking in to see if he has done the honourable thing ?
The time has come .
Just leave and leave now .
Fine margins and a close game ? Keith , we are nowhere near competing in any game .
These teams have budgets the same as ours in many cases and are embarrassing us .
You are making a fool of yourself man

Do you really believe Keith will do "the honourable thing"  Huh? The only way he'll be leaving is by KT firing the bullet.

Don't give up Melly as there is bound to be ups and downs for the next few weeks. To me it is a case of holding our nerve and always retain some hope. After Tuesday display and very odd selection patterns its difficult to keep positive. Don't join those who wail and despair at every set back. Heads up and hope for the best.

I like to think I hold a balanced perspective Evers? It is becoming rather tiresome at the moment though?

of course i didn’t !
He won’t even admit he was wrong let alone resign .
Go on Keith , admit dropping MacWilliams was a monumental mistake and playing Hoskins alongside Edmondson has the penetration of a wet tennis ball .
95% of supporters want Macwilliams and Rose playing - why do you find it so difficult to see ?

Because he's from a long line of stubborn managers who believe they are always right, even when they know they are wrong. Like car insurance companies who tell people "never admit anything"

You state that as if it's a trait unique to managers of NTFC?
Look around, they are nearly all the same... Wink

I might be very wrong but said gentleman appears to have a downer on our astute football Manager.

This was a bit of a farce of an interview by KC. Almost everything he identifies should have been addressed by now in training surely?  Huh?

I can't see him being sacked if that is the correct course of action, look where we are in the season and you'd have to say more managers would have been sacked by now going on past years. The point im making is covid has changed how clubs are run and with no income from fans in the grounds, paying managers off is not so easy. Can we afford to pay him of when he has around 18mts of his contract left.

Maybe so but it is a true observation which, as I stated, isn't limited to NTFC managers.

I honestly think Curle says whatever comes into his head at the time, he thinks we are all as thick as him, he leaves one of his better players on the bench because he wanted his energy for the last few mins, what an absolute tool.
To answer your question NO Curle isn’t getting the best out of this squad, that’s why I started this thread he’s made a spectacular fcuk up of this season, constant tinkering, baffling substitutions and bizarre interviews.

Have to agree on this.
Blindly keeping faith with Hoskins
Playing Marshall out if position
Not starting Rose
Not signing Holmes
Signing Seal, Missoulo, Radic, Nutall amongst others
Attempting to convince us its all part of a well thought out plan

Just one thing after another

Him and his "showcasing"...... does he think he's a game show host rather than a football manager?

It occurred to me that it may be possible that there are managers who deliberately sabotage team performances to invite the sack and obtain a long contract payout? Particularly if they are suffering from the angst of fans and derision within the squad? This is not an accusation against Curle or any manager in particular, but it would explain some of the bizarre and self defeating decision making that flys in the face of all reasonable logic? Cant be true can it?

I thought that when Mourinho was at Man Utd he appeared to be doing his utmost to be sacked and get a large pay off.

"Now is not the time to be talking about systems” states Keith Curle? With 3 goals less than any other side in the division and having dropped into the relegation zone, may I ask when would it would be an appropriate time Mr Curle? Sorry, my frustration really has boiled over hasn’t it?

As was said by many at the time, the club should NEVER have offered KC a new two year contract last Summer, simply off the back of an extremely fortunate promotion.

A one year rolling contract at best (especially during a pandemic) should have been the only offer on the table. If he declined it then thanks but goodbye.

The club only have themselves to blame & I'm sure they didn't have the foresight to include a relegation clause so we're lumbered. Can't see KT sacking him no matter what but us as supporters we have the option to renew season tickets, which the club surely need to factor in.

Frustration or not I can’t agree with this, that is all born of hindsight? Given the fact we have had 4 previous managerial disasters prior to Curle? It the contract had not been offered and he would have taken up an offer elsewhere and the next bloke failed, which statistically he will, Kelvin Thomas would have been accused of appalling judgment, and rightly so? To repeat, that’s without the benefit of hindsight.
