THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Seems to be one professional club in Bedfordshire who seem to be doing pretty well these days?

Yeah, but its Luton. Would rather go to Kabul.

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment

Jackson is not an improvement, he’s the same cheap option we always seem to go for, with zero experience of league 1, it’s not his fault, PW and Sweeting have to burden the blame for this, as it seems pretty obvious he’s out of his depth, the squad isn’t the greatest I’ll grant you that, but until we appoint a manager/head coach who’s got the knowledge and experience of league 1 and now league 2 as well, the downward spiral will continue.

It’s definitely time to hit the re set button

Money doesn’t give a fuck about that. Plus, the hatred is far, far less than it was.

When Pete wants to sell, as long as he sells the entire thing, he’ll have lots of interest.

I don't need your ill-informed, half-baked, idiotic opinions. I have plenty of those myself.

Previous relegations you could see it coming and with the club in a steep learning curve and infancy it was sort of to be expected. This time round the club have pressed an almighty self destruct button, combined with massive incompetence and it's just all very hard to accept.

After last season the fall from grace is intolerable.

I'm sure he'd probably do himself more justice under better circumstances. Unfortunately coaches often get their chances when managers are sacked and there's a decline. I'm not convinced he has the answers and the knowhow to get us through this. You could argue whether anyone could, but there have been several questionable decisions, whether it's sitting on his hands for half of January so he could see for himself how shit our team are, to some of the recent team selection.

The reality is, he's part of the problem, as was Manning, but the other culprits have a lot to answer for.

Just to add, I have noticed his last 3 press conferences have been very subdued. He strikes me as a very passionate chap, but he almost looks and sounds like how we feel as fans. Flat and no idea what to do or where to turn.

His presser today after the game was exactly this.

I am sure he's a decent coach. I like him, I like how he thinks about the game. But we have some unsuitable players and those that are alright don't fit as a squad. We've been unlucky as fuck as well, think about O'Hora's and then Stewart's injury. It is a shit season and the current squad would finish about 11th in League 2. I felt we were down at the Shrewsbury home game with the single bad error punished ruthlessly. I remember us giving away bad late goals in the Championship too - a sure sign of a relegated team.

I feel back for Jacko. It would take an extraordinary manager to get us out of our shit given the constraints of the squad and the insistence we have to play "nice football". Fuck, I don't care - hoofball is alright if it gets you places, we aren't Man City ffs. I'm very sceptical about playing keepball and short passes in defence with League 1 players, always have been.

I'm most worried about the squad's fitness. We tail off heavily too often.

This shit pisses me off. It's not like he couldn't look at videos on YouTube and see how poor we are. It's not like he couldn't look at the league table and see how poor we are. Why take the fucking job? I mean he may have lost his job at Leeds when Jessie the cowboy was fired but I have no sympathy he went in with eyes wide open but then again he just wanted to manage a first team knowing full well he has no expearence bar siix months of being anywhere near a first team.
