Don't know him personally but having kept us up last season I think he deserves a 'fair crack at the whip' at least for this season, short of really poor results between now and Christmas. I was looking at our managerial history the other day, usually when a long standing manager goes (thinking Tann, Megson, Francis, Holloway and Trollope) we go through a series of short term appointments. Hopefully this will be an exception. He won't be here this time next year.

Never taken to him , poor style of football , still hasn’t addressed our lack of creativity in midfield from last season , don’t think he’s the man to take us forward. Would love to have egg on my face at the end of the season but currently can only see another relegation battle.

I thought bringing bennett on improved our possession and helped us to ease to victory,i reckon thats why coughlan brought him on and it worked imo. I have been unable to take to coughlan and his dreary football style but there were some positives from tuesday. The two strikers looked like they were strikers who could score and did. The 3-5-2 seemed to suit the players and kilgour and davies appear to be decent.

A lot can be said of the performance on Tuesday night. We were not at it at all against Coventry. But against Tranmere, particularly the first half, you could see the players really battling. It looked like they had all been given a kick up the arse.
The players we have aren’t top half of the table, but it looks like they’ve reacted after Saturday. That says to me the manager has kicked them up the arse AND they reacted and put in a shift. All we can ask for with the budget he’s been given!

Needs to learn when to make subs, makes subs late when a game is done and they have no impact. I want to see inspired subs, games is deadlocked and change is made and makes a difference. Cant surely play so many defensive players all season. Still go to sleep hoping we are going to pick up a few attacking midfielders before the close of the window. I agree with this, last night the right moves could have turned that into a 5-0 win with their giant centre half on a red card. You stretch a team with a less man and certainly with two less but bringing on Bennett meant we went through the middle which helped them. Hare was getting so much ball that him and Rodman overlapping would have tore them wide open Exactly right. As soon as we got the ball wide we created the move that got the penalty. A team down to 9 want you to play through the middle and we fell into their trap.

Would love to have egg on my face at the end of the season but currently can only see another relegation battle. Until we can offload the likes of Bennett, Nichols and Rodman, next summer, then whoever is in charge will most likely face a relegation fight, as they are taking around £10K per week,£500K per season out of the wage budget.

He won't be here this time next year. Severncider said that about crazy Steve and he s still here That is NOT what I said. I asked the question if he would still be here by the beginning of the new year (2019) Again, I refer you Topper for the actual message. If anyone is going to quote what I said, please at least get it right.

You spoke in riddles indicating that he would be removed without saying he was going a very clever tactic when it doesn't happen.

Or use them. It probably won't happen for Nichols now but Bennett and Rodman aren't bad players just taking up a wage...they are players that can be an asset if played as wingers when we go 4-4-2. 3-5-2 suits us better, but there wil be times when teams suss that system out and then adapting to 4-4-2 will be key.

I really like him. Seems an honest hard working guy and he kept us up. I've also enjoyed not hearing about "projects" for the last 8 months.

Talk about reactionary!
Lets see where we are after 10 games. Glad I didn’t buy a season ticket based on the football I’ve seen us play so far.
All we’ve managed to do so far is limp to a win against a hopeless Tranmere side with 9 men.

Is it time that more supporters start giving the man a little more respect.
I heard people saying GC out on Saturday, i find it hard to understand why, saved us last season, whether the football was any good or not, we stayed up.
It seems as if some of the fanbase are just hung up on DC, the man could come back one day, but is it not right to give GC a fair chance with bit of support now.
He doing his best with resources his allowed, the purse string seem tight, maybe packing our team with defensive options is stroke of genius until more funds are available.
On the back of hideous behavior of some, being abusive toward his daughter, surely we should get behind the guy.
