Did he say this? I took it to mean that, although (up until now) he has been stubborn we'll probably have to go back to 4-4-2. Listen, and I'm sure I'll get pelters for this, because things are currently beyond woeful, but I would still prefer a situation where J. Edinburgh manages to turn this situation around. Please, hear me out before you start throwing. Yes, I think the keeper situation could prove a major ****-up, as will the lack of wide players. And yes, these things (and many more) are down to the manager. But (and it's a big but), if he can recognize his mistakes and grow from them, then we could still do ok this season. I'll be honest, I'm surprising myself by writing this, because I was spitting blood on Saturday - and last night didn't sound too good on the radio, either - but, hopefully, the Cambridge game can be the start of improvement. Because, and let's be honest here, if the club replace JE it will cost a heap of time and money. He admitted himself to being stubborn, so, if he hasn't already done so, I'd suggest he needs to do what Atkins did early doors; sit the players down and have an open free-for-all, let them say what they want with no repercussions. He is still the boss, and any final decisions will be his to stand or fall by, but if he can't get the squad behind him he is done anyway - so he needs to be man enough to take their concerns on board. He needs to address any and all issues concerning his workforce, and this may well include fitness levels and coaching (both of which appear to be lacking). I can barely remember such total and instant animosity towards one of our managers. I don't know, maybe I'm talking bollox (according to Evers I usually do  ), or maybe it's time to drop the vitriol and get behind the guy, at least for the next few weeks. Justin Edinburgh will stand or fall by the decisions he makes in that time, but let's not keep willing him to fail, eh? I thought the same before Saturday but that team selection defied belief after all that was said and done beforehand . I'm not sure he recovers from that with either the crowd or the players . I can't see how he turns it around from here |

I cant remember a time when the majority of fans agreed so quickly. I know some have questioned his appointment since day 1 and some have wanted him to go before the season etc but usually with a manger the number of disgruntled fans increases over time. With JED it seems to have jumped from a few to most in a very short period of time.
From reading on here and talking to others, it seems very few (I've found none) are waiting for / expecting / hoping for him to turn it around, it seems people are just waiting for the next game so we can get it done. Feels a very strange situation to be in
Problem with that is its 10 days before the next game then we play Sat/Tue/Sat/Tue/Sat by which time we could be up **** creek without a paddle (or a point) the current time is perfect to be shot of him |

I'm not sure this is true though, is it? Even prior to the Boro game people were hoping we'd get tanked so he could be shown the door, so there are certainly some not wanting him to succeed. As for the rest of it. You are right.
Probably not, but to me and I would assume most of us, it doesn't matter who we have in charge if he is successful. Granted that with how he is managing at the moment, that would be a big IF. |

Yeah I nearly choked on my beer Saturday when news filtered through we were going R&R. Bizarre really. |

I know it's twitter/Facebook but I've read somewhere that it would cost about £500,000 to get rid of JED and kerslake - I guess this is a reason why KT hasn't pulled the plug, although I would qualify this by seriously questioning why they were given such lucrative contracts when they were effectively free agents in the first place. Also someone has come up with the stat that we have now gone 6 months without a win - I know this takes in the summer but it is still a damning statistic.

My personal opinion is that KT will sack him before the Doncaster game.

I share that opinion. Though might be down to blind optimism.

I really can't see that happening. Another clue as to JED's future will be if he's allowed to bring anyone in before the transfer window closes. If he does KT is sticking with him for at least 10 games, if not he's probably got the next two home games against Doncaster & Portsmouth maximum. |

I wonder if our Chinese friends will join the queue with the council to get their money back if we drop into league 2, if that should be the case any amount would be worth spending although it's always a risk as there's no guarantee his replacement would be any better.

Before Doncaster but after the window closes? |

It must be horrible knowing you're getting canned just waiting but he has no one else to blame but himself. I really hope KT gets its right this time.

For goodness sake Doc we are NOT going down you heard it here 1st  (I damn well hope that does not come back to haunt me) |

So much for all the insiders that said he was going today - unlikely now realistically

Has anyone checked to see if he is still in the dugout?

I think he's living in a hole in the ground and refusing to speak to anyone , only venturing out to mutter 3 5 2 to passers by !

I really can't see him going until after the Doncaster game (if we fail to win)

I want him out, but, I think he'll get until the end of sept to get things sorted. By then we'd have played 11 or so league games. Trouble is might be too late by then and we'll be staring into a relegation battle by then with confidence at an all time low. Oh and if the rumours are right and he's lost the dressing room then he's a dead man walking and there's a Bristol Rover away performance looming.... JED please swallow your pride and resign.

I can't understand all this negativity, we're only seven points off the play-offs |

No one resigns I'm afraid . By doing so , you walk away from your contract entitlement . |
