We've been through this before. You have no idea that Nichols has another 2 and a half years left on his contract and it seema pretty unlikely we would give any player a 4 year deal. Mensah is an interesting one. He is clearly one for the future. At the moment he looks over priced but let's wait and see eh? One for the future? He's 23! If he isn't showing he can hack it at league one by now he most likely hasn't got it... ...although if by one for the future you mean he might do a job for us when we are back in the conference in 2 seasons then I agree he might have been a shrewd signing...

DC in charge of everything atm and we are in a position of relegation.
A change of leadership, and we may stay up.

I was referring to his experience, or lack of it, rather than his age. I don't know if he will make it or not, but there is a raw talent to work with there.

If he can't slot straight into the team or make a case for starting at his age then there is most likely nowt there. What puts the tin hat on it is he can't even trouble the first team at a club in the league below. A poor signing whose time is up at Rovers already I reckon if he can't get a look in at Lincoln.

The financial consequences dictate that DC will neither resign or be sacked - unless he gets a better job offer while in the job here.

At least he's honest and up front unlike our owners. I have to say that for me he should be here certainly until the end of the season but his recruitment needs to be much better. UTG

Not in any way an attack on DC and he should be remembered as the man who saved this club with nothing but the trust of the chairman at the time, but the momentum has gone and whilst we have Darrell as manager, we're regressing and now in a relegation scrap. Sack DC now, give a new manager a month to get his style of play across the dressing room and make funds available in January for him to bolster this squad. We're going backwards with DC. Have been since we were promoted to L1. Get a new man in to save our season. Wont happen under DC, sadly. Time for you to go back to your colouring book

I really do hate the hire & fire culture driven by the expectation of instant and continuos success. We are at our level. If DC doesnt get it right this season he deserves another go in league 2. The club stinks, only one man makes us credible Continuous success? Look back at last seasons results, that's when the rot started, 6 wins between January and the end of the season, or 10 wins in the last 42 games. That continuous success is it? And you believe that a man who wastes £550k on the worst strikers in the division is worth keeping on? and don't forget 80K on Mensah. He wastes money more than the government Congratulations on missing the entire point. The post says "hire & fire culture driven by the expectation of instant and continuous success". At no point does it specify a team or a period. The fact of the matter is we're at our level and it's nonsensical to believe that a club with our squad, board, debt and structure is capable of much. So why fire the best manager we've had in ages, with a proven record, over a bad season following a mediocre one which followed the best seasons we've seen? Remember John Ward saving us from McGhee's terrible season, only to get us into the Conference the next year? This is the byproduct of hiring and firing based on mistaken expectations. DC has a better chance of keeping us up than any other manager currently available.

For me he has to stay, personally I’ve seen a change for the better in our last few games, I accept results haven’t gone for us but at least we have looked like we were competing and in the mix for a result, whereas earlier in the season we never looked like getting anything. UTG

Love DC, everything else is f**ked, why does he stay??? How about a guaranteed salary for the next three years, regardless of results? It pays the mortgage unless the club goes belly up.

You don't honestly think he's here just because of that? I think personal ambition, love of the club, comes into it somewhere otherwise he could have pursued the Leeds job and doubled his salary?

The right team playing in the right positions could do it
But I'm not sure the right team is always on and when it's not - that team doesn't appear to want to
Stable 11 for three matches must be the way forward

Keep DC and get the players who are not playing for him out. Let's not make the same mistake we made when Penny came in. And how do you think we are going to get Nichols out, he has another 21/2 years on his contract. The only thing we can do is pay money for Stockley and hope they take Banjo on PX. As for Payne, what more proof do we need that DC has been lucky with a few signings Payne was the boards signing not darrells

Nichols, up front on his own all first half. That was never ever going to work. Far too many midfielders not knowing what their job really is and not enough up front.

I am sure there are options but it's whomever is running the club to be decisive and don't see that happening which is equally bad
Has DC made mistakes? of course he has, but I would prefer to stick with him and hope whatever is going on off the pitch gets sorted sooner rather than later and we might see a re-invigorated DC

Having watched DC's interviews in recent weeks he's clearly annoyed with the owners. I also think he's pretty annoyed with himself in terms of the team he's assembled.
He's trying to find tactics to suit the muddle of a squad he's put together.
When you listen to him talk his desire to succeed is infectious and you do feel for him.
Enough is enough now and we're desperate need for someone to come in with a fresh pair of eyes in time to make whatever adjustments are needed in January. This break with no cup game is the time to do it.
Unfortunately as there is no one at the helm of the club I doubt very much it will happen.

Finding a replacement isn't easy. The new chap won't have any money to spend so will have to work with a squad he doesn't know, and you expect him to turn it around? Not a chance. Stick with DC.

DC has to stay
He has to look every player in the eye and decide whether to keep or loan out in Jan - whether we paid for them or not
Then those that are left have to dig in with whatever quality we can get on loan or other and play us out of this mire
L1 status is imperative or the last 4 years will have been for nothing
I 100% agree that we've missed a golden opportunity to kick on and the start of the rot was the day Snake left - we've shown no ambition to replicate hitting 6th in L1 which is where we were approx 2 years ago since - and I squarely blame the owners
Can't see Wael parading up Glos Rd badge kissing any time soon - he inherited something great and has slowly eroded it
And now we stare at the abyss
i only trust DC to do this - with help - and serious backing from the board
