They can't be much worse. Hope they haven't picked up by the time we play them.
Just signed McCann as well but leaves them little time to get more in before transfer window closes. Local gossip reckons close to 7 figures for the handful of signings they've had in the window.
As for the Bolton game. Bolton player punches FGR player in the stomach who in fairness just gets up and gets on with it. Linesman flags it, discusses with ref and then sends off the wrong player

Not at all surprised given they’re bottom of the pile & in a grim run of form. Watched a fair amount of their game last night, barely troubled Bolton who played with 10 for an hour. As toothless a display as you’ll see all season.
Strangely they’ve just let the guy sign a few lads from the Scottish prem.

I remember seeing him interviewed after his Notts County lost in the NL playoffs last year and thinking he seemed pretty clueless, was amazed he got a gig in league 1. As others have said though seems weird timing with all the new signings this week, perhaps Joey can give the Rangers lad a call and ask him to reroute his sat nav lol

Makes you wonder who signed their new players.
Seems strange to sack him after a narrow defeat at Bolton.
Yes, Bolton played an hour with 10 men but it's not a easy place to go and FGR dominated all the stats 62% possession, 12 shots to Boltons 4.
When we went there last month Bolton had 55% possession, 19 shots to our 4 and 11 corners to our 1.
With the players they've signed I still think they have a decent chance of staying up.

Yes, it is strange dude, but I guess it shows that he may not have had too much involvement in the recruiting and it was done by others. And now they do not trust him in getting the best out of the new players. He was Head Coach and not manager so although splitting hairs he may not have been involved in that part of the club. His sacking might not affect any further plans they have. Hoping for a new Manager/new Head Coach bounce. 😉 UTG! |

They may suggest positions they want strengthened but its fairly common for them to just be coaching and the players are purchased for them from higher ups. |

I'd be a bit disillusioned if I was a new player coming in though. Im sure they dont mention an imminent sacking before they sign on the dotted line |

So the head coach can be rotated without disrupting the style. Everton currently showing the potential chaos of letting managers change the style and sign their own players, before getting sacked anyway haha. |

I like being the 'outsider'as I live in their catchment area so have a few chats with a number of regular supporters. Seems that a lot of their social media followers have no interest in the football at all, just the environmental stuff. The locals think the club is badly run. They just want to watch professional football on a Saturday afternoon, apart from a few 'celeb' supporters most fans couldn't give a toss about Stale Mince's non football activity. |

Didn’t they originally play in black and white stripes? Can’t remember much of an uproar when they changed their traditional colours? |

Duncan Ferguson incoming at FGR. Sure? Ferguson could have kicked off his managerial career now though as Forest Green Rovers sounded him out about taking over. The Everton legend turned down the opportunity however. |
