Someone in that dressing room needs to grab Westbrook by the throat and tell him he’s not fit to wear the shirt!!! Disgrace!! Not an ounce of fight on that players body.... should be left to rot like Ehmer... end of

Nobody probably? Read the full interview, he suggests he's told the players to go home this weekend and come back in Monday and tell him if they still want to help him climb Everest, those that don't will be left out. What that pro footballer is going to be stupid enough to say they don't on Monday morning? He doesn’t mean literally tell him, he will judge by the way they train. The effort, attitude, aptitude. Let’s wait and see....

Accy away killed Tisdale, if lost that by a finer margin believe he would still be here and getting similar results to Barton. The squad lacks experience and leadership end of. Garner to blame for this, getting rid of Craig without replacing him experience and leadership wise was criminal. Should have been given better guidance by the holy TW! Clearly felt Craig was a threat and therefore got rid. Barton needs time and so did Tisdale, so hard to stop a rot and particularly without fans present. Barton + some positive gas heads at the mem with produce a winning formula. Keep the faith, not over until the fat lady sings!

His drop of the shoulder and shot which hit the post was first class... exciting prospect just needs to keep working hard and leaning the professional game as quickly as he can and he can flourish under Barton and with Mangan’s coaching.

Didn’t yesterday confirm that 442 (or variants of) is our best formation and we need to bring an end to the Hanlan on his own experiment? I am all for modern football and I hate going back to 1990s football but we didn’t half look a lot better with 2 up top. Maybe not ever 442, but definitely something with 2 up top. As I remember, this is what Tisdale did and we won a couple. Then we went back to the same old “watch Hanlan get outmuscled and fouled” formation. Hanlan looked loads better with Ayunga. If anyone should be played up top alone it’s Ayunga! I thought a lone striker was supposed to be a big guy? Did you see what I saw? Hanlan up top alone has to end. It hasn’t worked, he isn’t physical enough. It could work - put on half a stone in the gym over summer Brandon. Like Ellis did. Then you’ll be a no 9. Must have someone around him, completely agree, one of Nicholson or Daly if fit. Maybe Jonah if the opposition can be bullied a bit.

Totally agree, Harries had a decent game Saturday and tonight, been called rubbish by many this season but Kilgours performance tonight summed up his season, very very poor. Gets continually caught on the wrong side of his man and is as slow as a VLCC and turns like one. Will you please stop banging on about playing Grant at centre back. The bloke continually gets caught out of position and will be worse at centre back Grant was excellent tonight

I just really hope he lasts long enough for us to get back into the stadium under the lights and our passion combined with JBs, surely makes for a great combination.....

I’d be tempted to hold fire and see how TW does these next 2 games. If he picks up 4 points I’d probably keep him in charge until the summer and see where we are then. If we get safe then the list of potential managers starts to look a bit better. If they were still keen on Barton it also means his court case is out the way. Im not sure why everyone is convinced these players need someone shouting at them, to me it appears they need an arm round the shoulder and someone who’s going to believe in them. As much as you make a valid point, a top manager will adopt different management styles depending on the given situation or individual. Some coaches aka garner lack at least one of the styles, usually the hard as nails part and therefore struggle.

We all get a bit excited about these seasoned pros that come in occasionally and rightfully so! Even if he never wears the blue and white quarters, having him in the building will be good for the squad.

I think what is patently clear is that TW has huge influence behind the scenes. He needs a ‘yes’ man beneath him who will not dare question any interference from above. I have a feeling this why Coughlin and Tisdale didn’t last, whereas Garner, with his truly woeful record, managed to hold onto his job for far too long. As stated before, TW is in bed with Wael and I do think he holds all our cards. Didn’t work for Tisdale but it concerns me that for as long as TW is at the club in the role he is in, we will struggle to keep any manger happy.

Harris odds down to 12/1 - moving down quickly - glad I’ve got my wedge on him. I’d be surprised but I’d have him as an upgrade on Barton. He’s got a pretty good record in LG 1 and might consider us as a good project. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! May have spoke with big Tone! Also, yes he’s been relatively successful, however what’s he actually achieved in management. May see us as a good project with chance of promotion next season to help boost his C.V a little

I have to say, I just saw Tommy W interview and I find him very passionate and totally committed and convincing. I can see why Wael backs him, and not Tis, who has come off timid in comparison. I don’t know the ins and outs, but Tommy does appear very convincing and it’s people like this who will get us out of this. Sorry if that’s not the consensus. This is why Wael is blinded by TW, as he knows how to keep the boss happy. Blue eyed boy! Fine if he is good at his job but it unsettles me just how much he is in control of the club and seems to have the power to make a lot of decisions. This is just how I see things from the outside looking in, and working with people who know what to say in important meetings but aren’t so great at backing it up with actions. Hope I’m proved wrong. Fully support Wael, just something doesn’t sit right with me about TW.

Agreed with a few on here, get mansell in charge, natural born leader, wears his heart on his sleeve and will instil some energy and set high expectations of the players.

Nicholson off for Harries? PT wants to get fired? Worst substitution I think I've seen for the gas. Wow!! But late at 5-1 to think about protecting goal difference

I was actually thinking this earlier, I'd give him a contract until the end of the season tbh. I think we're that bad. GC would fail with this squad not physical enough for his style At least he would grab a few by their throat!

Who’s the manager if Tisdale goes? I’m not saying that’s the wrong call, just who on earth would want to put their name to this squad who could actually do something with them? Once again: “Best squad since promotion”. The conference squad would give this lot a shoeing nevermind the squad with Bodin! Mansell I guess? Not sure he’d go near it with TW pulling the strings. Why do you think Widdrington is not interested, as his job security is there and he knows he wouldn’t be able to back himself with his own signings

Never known a pair of centre half’s that still can’t pick out a goalkeepers punt midway through a game! Embarrassed for them!

Agree that Widdrington is the blue eyed boy and untouchable. Don’t see why, other than he knows who to suck up to and brown nose. He’s running this club and need to get the pretender out

Coughlan got a lot of stick but would have him back at the drop of a Tw@ts hat! At least he’d have this team fighting on a night like tonight.

Agreed, embarrassed to be a gas head tonight!! Lightweight isn’t even close to describing this team. Letting characters like Tony Craig go because we had a melt of a coach in charge, Wael sort this joke of a side out.... start with change of manager in the morning
