Stupid is as stupid does. How on earth can you put a timescale on these sort of things? If we lose heavily to Hereford on Saturday and the team showed little spirit or fight then Sampsons position would surely be in doubt. If our current form continues until Christmas we'd be f***ed, there has to be an improvement long before then. You have to judge things day to day, game by game. I think almost everybody would like to see Sammo make a success of this job but wanting something and actually getting something are two completely different things. We've won twop games out of eleven, are you seriously suggesting we leave it until Christmas if that record was to become 2 games out of 21? Don't be so bloody daft! |

how can you assume we are going to loose the next ten before christmas,
we played well agaist chesterfield and were unlucky yes we had a bad result and performace agaist maccesfield but we were well on top at cheltenham, before and upto half time with ten men,
you have to give a manager time, otehrwise if you go through a bad patch like we are (2 wins in 11) clubs will be sacking managers every few months,
You got to give managers half a season 23 games, then see where we are then
WE ARE 7 POINTS OFF PLAY OFFS theres 35 games left!

I'm not assuming anything, you're the one saying we should wait until Christmas WHATEVER the results are in the meantime. I was just showing how stupid that remark is. As for your last sentence, we were in the same position last year and went on a long winning run but still couldn't make up the difference. I think it highly unlikely we'll reproduce that sort of run this time round but hey, fingers crossed. |

I aint saying he should be given time to christmas end of story,
But people calling for his head after we loose three in a row just frustrates me,
I agree what you are saying marvo but he should be given some time to turn it around,
If we loose the next 3, action may be taken.
But he has had 11 games out of 46.
there is no reason why we cant loose 2 in the next 11 be around the play offs and then everyone will be praising him again!

The whole situation is in Sammo's control.
He has assembled a good footballing defence and midfield. What he has not done is obtain a front two who are good enough for this division. DC has provided the funds to obtain the strikers, so I assume it is Sammo who has not been able to persuade the required players to sign. He has been very unlucky in the injury to Purcell, but 6 weeks ago it was obvious we required a second quality forward (McKenzie is only a replacement for Purcell...probably). Besides getting the players to play, a major part of his job is obtaining new players to improve the squad. Something managers like Graham Carr and Dave Bowen were excellent at and a major part of their success.
Over to you Sammo, DC has supplied the tools.

Have you not noticed that funds from Liverpool and Ipswich have been promised to Sammo instead of previous windfalls being swallowed up in the club.
You must pay attention!
Life is more fun being optimistic instead of a manic depressive.

I always understood a manic depressive to be someone who swings from being wildly optimistic to wildly pessimistic. Remind you of anyone, County? |

I have been having a right laugh at the s***e being written on here over the last few weeks by the Bi-polar lobby. County Cobbler, Mr Cardoza has made many promises in his time at the club and we are still waiting to see the majority of them come to fruition. I prefer to wait patiently, seeing is believing with anything involving Mr Cardoza as far as I am concerned. You obviously don't know me at all CC so I better inform you that I am still optimistic (not blindly like some) about things at the club currently. I whole heartedly go along with the McHammer view on things. We should be patient and give Sammo as much time as he needs, he is still learning the job and so is making mistakes along the way but I believe in him and the squad of players he is putting together. Liverpool was a night never to be forgotten, the football they played up there and in subsequent games until Chesterfield scored their first was some of the best I have seen in my 45 years watching the club. Why would I be pessimistic? I was pleased to hear Mr Cardoza giving his support to Sammo during the Zola thing, I don't think he does it enough and I certainly don't think he has supported him enough financially. Hopefully he will soon and I will thank him for it. We have known for months that we needed more options up front, that should have been his top concern. I look forward to the new players coming in. If those are the words of a manic depressive... |

Really? I sense some backtracking on DC's part (and it does sort of create some doubt about just how far he is prepared to go to defend Sammo): http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/northampton_town/9083627.stmIt's a pretty insipid statement, and nowhere have I heard him "promise" funds from Liverpool and Ipswich to Sammo. I could have sworn I heard him on the telly this week saying that he hadn't made as much as he thought we would out of the Liverpool game (though didn't mention the additional Southend ticket sales). |

Ecoutez et repetez! I am more than happy to see Sammo judged at the end of the season. Others, I sense, are going to be less forgiving! |

If Mr Cardoza was to get rid of Sammo before the end of the season can you imagine the pathetic budget the next victim will have next season?
I don't think we will be relegated and I wouldn't be too unhappy with another mid-table finish as long as Sammo is allowed to continue his work in the same manner and hopefully with a bigger budget. I am excited by the young talented players at the club, that's most of them, and I hope the club carry on bringing through talented youngsters and support them with a good standard of experienced players keen to play a passing game on the ground.

I think Saturday is huge. If we were to lose, there would unquestionably be massive pressure on Sammo and DC, and the fans will definitely start to turn vocal. We've got some tough games to come, Oxford away, Gillingham won't be easy despite their dire away record, and Port Vale on the horizon. The slide has got to be halted soon otherwise it could become a very difficult one to arrest.
