No need to slag each other off this is a forum to express views whether you agree or not is s up to you' so yes be contriversial but keep it friendly
And anyone who was at the game last night like me will more than have a few negative things to say but again these are personal observations

Yeah I've never been on there (because why the f**k would you do that to your own eyes and brain) but why when I read this thread do the words 'OTIB-worthy' come to mind?

I don't think he's inept not for one moment but I do think that our away record is somewhat gung-ho so far this season and this obviously needs to be addressed , it's tactically not working but D.C. Hasn't seemed to have grasped this fact when it's plain to see, I like our manager but sometimes our away performances are a real head scratcher in terms of how we set ourselves up , I do think that it's his tactics that are letting us down on the road because overall at home we look fairly solid, he needs to change his strategy on our travels and stop the alarming goal influx and perhaps build from there. I said from the outset we would lose 3-0 last night because we are too predictable in our approach away from home , I wasn't that far from the mark when all said and done. Although I agree with this partly, it's also about the players and their application and ability. Application of defenders and keeper last night was terrible - Shrews did as they pleased because we watched the ball and not where their players were moving - watch the goal highlights - it was pathetic and there have been many like this this season. Skill-wise, unfortunately, some of our players aren't as good as we think they are - Ollie C, Lockyer, Brown, Leadbitter - technically they are ok at League 1 and against top 6 teams they lose the ball and we find ourselves desperately defending. Ollie C and Sercombe -almost every time they got the ball all they could do was turn back and play to a CB who then passed back to Slocombe who went woosh up the pitch. Slocombe never looked to throw it out either, their keeper nearly every time - and they kept possession. Shrews have players with good close control who always looked to play it forward. I'd say we have gone backwards a little bit compared to last season - DC has his work cut out. Some players are struggling in L1 this season. Finally, Nichols, played behind the front 2 last night - touched the ball about 6 times - wasn't in the game BUT DC stunningly kept him on at the expense of Gaffney who had done much more - SO that was a DC tactical cock up. Nichols unfortunately could well be another Luke James. Sorry !

yesterday's news, today's chip wrappers , his tactical approach to every game in league 1 is questionable especially away from home and the stats don't lie, not sure I'd replace D.C. but he needs to adopt tactics that make us a stronger opposition defensively on our travels because in the past 2 seasons our away form has been atrocious and it's only our home form that has kept us from being involved in a relegation scrap, clearly things need to change tactically which means Dc needs to pull his head from his harris. I completely agree with this guy DC should pack his little bags and his bowls full of excuses and get out. I'm sick of seeing his miserable looking face as I'm sure bs5 is! Mark Magoo is out of work, fancy him back ?

Mark Magoo is out of work, fancy him back ? Yeah let's do it.... He'll have even more contacts in Scotland than ever before.... What could possibly go wrong?

Does that include the 21 match unbeaten run of away matches between Sep 2014 and the end of Aug 2015? You don't read the posts - I did correct myself -.since we've been back in the EFL. We lost 7 of our 23 away games in League 2, winning 11. Just in case you want to correct yourself again

I have been a critic of DC this season. Anyone who thinks presiding over and generating such inconsistency in the team is evidence of a high quality manager, is wrong. BUT....he may not openly admit it but he is learning the trade. He needs far more experience around him, on and off the field. His recruitment was poor. I cite the Shrewsbury fan who describes their CDM as "big strong and very tough to get past, sits infront of the defence." Why haven't we got someone like that? There have been many positives this season, but performances like last night do not bode well for the season as a whole. Incidentally, those who say this is a season of consolidation are naive. The players and coaching staff want success. That's what determines their livelihoods and career prospects. But I fear something is not right in DCs attitude. I don't think it is arrogance, but maybe he's too proud to admit he needs experienced support.

Inept tactics from an arragant Manager who thinks he is being clever changing formation and personnel each week. There has never been a successful Manager in football who has done this, been lucky in the past time to move on. I personally would take what DC has done for us last season and even this one thus far (including the loses) over what every other manager as done since paul Trollope and Lennie.And then everyone after the Holloway era until Trolls took over. DC is our greatest manager ever - period. The back to back promotions saved our club and put its soul back into it.This season has been half good, and half bad.DC goes out to win games but the problem is he does not have the players to dominate like we did in L2 and the Conference.He has been to loyal to some out of form players like Locks and Sweeny and this is where he is making the mistake andvI belive he needs to and will learn from this. DC is loyal to the Gas.He loves the club and is the right man to take us to the next level and beyond.But maybe some people would rather go back to the most painfull football to watch like under - Buckle,Mcgree and Atkins? What about going back to the worst football this club has ever played ( I include Grayson here) and bring back John ward and his style of soccer...

Just in case you want to correct yourself again Yeah our away performances in League 2 does distort the figures a bit I guess - 18 wins out a possible 56 to date. Puts it all in perspective now since being back in this league.

I can't agree that he is our greatest manager ever.until he has won promotion to the division above he cannot be called that as Tann. Megson and Francis all lead us to promotion from this division

Mid table safety in League One is not a bad place to be for this club at this time - little money, modest ground, two recent promotions. A period of consolidation is nothing to worry about. Shrewsbury's start in their circumstances is fantastic.

If you think DC is the definition of inept then you either weren't around in the (solo) Trollope, Atkins, Graydon, Penney, Buckle, McGhee and Ward eras, or you have a very short memory.
F uck me.

I'd go for
Mark MaGee - Director of Football
Ray Graydon - Manager
Gary Thompson - No2
Paul Buckle - Head Coach
Then I'd get my coat!!!!

Agree with penny.Mcgree. and Grayson but you are doing Atkins a disservice because he sorted the playing side out and stopped the slide unfortunately he couldn't move the team forward the next season.as for ward the previous season was not too bad but his mind for the relegation season was elsewhere which is only to be expected in the circumstances and he was persuaded to stay on against his better judgement
