I feel he has until Christmas, although the pressure will Really be on the board if the next 3 games are poor. We just can’t leave it too late like Cheltenham did and end up in a relegation scrap. Really, he needs to be gone by the end of October if performances are poor to give us a good chance of staying up. Having a new manager again isn’t ideal but I have to say so far this has been a very poor appointment. It seems the majority of the Rotherham fans had the same issues as 50 percent of our fan base so. For me, if he performs then that’s all that matters but I get the impression he doesn’t really like the Gas’s fan base and constantly has a sly jibe at us. No mention of fans when we suffer a dire result and their long travel to the away games. He’s ex Exeter and Cheltenham after all. It’s a shame that if a manager falls below a certain win ratio they have to take a 50 percent pay off, if any of us slack in our job we are fired out with no pay. Let’s see what Taylor can do but I sense slowly fans are becoming frustrated and if we don’t get a result tomorrow or put in a shift there will be lots of Boo’s at halftime. I get exactly the same feeling on his attitude to the fan base 💙🤔 I loved it when he went down the fans in the away end last season after a really hard earned win, I forget where, and engaged with people, weight of the shirt and all that stuff, and having him and his family and all the players open and available and chatty and at the fans day was a massive culture shift from waiting a twatting hour and more the previous season season for some reluctant autographs. The job he is doing is massive. So much more than just match day. The results, in time I feel, will take of themselves and if don’t then I believe this squad will die trying, and that’s all I ever want |

Nonsense we're hardly Luton giving 100% last season, some players, LT, Hutch, Taylor & Wilson etc, hardly look like they are even breaking sweat in recent games.

I actually think Matt Taylor has put a good squad together.
The issue is we have a lot of young players who need experience. We have naive players, Lee Brown picked up on this the weekend where we need to learn the dark arts.
If you look at our worst defeat of the season against at home to Wigan. We had a very young team out lacking in experience.
Now we do have experienced players but they have been in and out of the team for various reasons. I'm thinking Martin, Hunt, then you have Ward and Lindsay rotating constantly.
I can't pinpoint why but my head is telling me we are a better team with Jack Hunt on the pitch? I will look out for this going forward. On that note I also rated the fullback, Joel Senior before his injury.

Wigan had a younger team when we played them?
Hunt played at Huddersfield when we were poor.
We seem to be back to players just turning up when it suits them, hopefully they'll turn up on Saturday.

All that money spent in the summer for a 0.05 increase in our average PPM. 😆 Where is the tangible improvement? The football Taylor is serving up is just as bad (if not worse) and the underlying data does him no favours either. How much more of this do we have to endure?  |

Is there any update on the Joel Senior injury? I read they were expecting him and Martin to be out for a similar time.

View AttachmentWhat makes it even more difficult is our next 7 games wrexham bolton mansfield lincoln Crawley oreint brum ( not in order). Based on performances under Taylor v top 12 teams . We can't expect much from these games . This raises a BIG question. Have the new owners revised their expectations of top 8 ( club statement last November 2023 on sacking of Barton ). Or was that a smokescreen ?. The lack of communication on scoreboard : ground update and general direction means its hard to gauge either way !. |

View AttachmentSo who would you bring in to replace him? I’m not saying that it’s great but stats isn’t everything and there have been plenty of games where we’ve been competitive and its players individual and unexpected mistakes and naivety that have cost us… it was the boards instruction to go for younger inexperienced players with potential to try and do a Peterborough and whilst some can be placed on the Manager, the players have to take account for a lot… MT can’t be blamed for Forbes missing the cross last night that 99 times out of 100 he’d clear and Taylor can’t be blamed for Conor Taylor slipping not once but twice to let them score their 2nd and our season has been riddled with things like that… This constant Matt Taylor bashing is boring and so over the top … no one knows what he has to contend with and so many on here think they are gods gift to football management when all they have is a stats database … I don’t dispute the stats aren’t great but stats without context are meaningless and anyone can manipulate stats to support any agenda.. Matt Taylor is a human being in an extremely difficult job - he deserves better respect in my opinion than what he is being given |

Matt Taylor is a human being in an extremely difficult job - he deserves better respect in my opinion than what he is being given I'm not being disrespectful . I believe in equality for everyone '. If a person works as hard as everyone regardless of their background . They should be treated equal. I'm just asking the question. Taylors record is NO better than the previous manager in a 10 month period . Even if you break it down in 3 6 9 month periods its no better. Therefore what is the short term / long term objective?. Have the club reassed the target of top 8 ?. Have the club in mind a certain expectation to reach within 12 months of appointment?. Its not being critical of Taylor everyone needs to be accountable and given targets . |

MT suggested that he had a similar budget to last season and whichever way you cut it spending £1m+ in two windows was decent backing for a L1 side outside of the top 6. It would be interesting to see a table of transfer budgets and playing budgets as we're probably around 8th, not even sure the likes of Stockport and Barnsley have spent more, so far, this season? |

Also thought Senior looked good early on - hopefully back available soon. |

Think you’d find were considerably lower - the likes of Burton and Stockport have invested more than us and you have Wrexham, Barnsley, Wrexham, Charlton, Bolton, Huddersfield, Peterborough, Reading (New ownership), Blackpool, Rotherham, Stevenage and Wycombe have bigger investments than us … our investment has been from the sale of Evans and Collins etc and the wage budget has been reduced so we are nowhere near the top 8 budget wise…. |
