Caldwell out?

[TotnesGrecian]

I don’t think he has lost the dressing room. There was desire to do the right thing tonight, no lack of effort from the players, they just have no idea how to put the ball in the net.
I think they will give him the transfer window.

Worst possible outcome giving GC money to spend...

Better performance: yes.

Good performance: no

Lack of firepower is painfully obvious.

Had we played like this after 3 losses, I think most of us would be positive that we were about to turn a corner. But in our current malaise, it doesn’t really say much. At least the players looked up for it.

We do have some decent players (Cole, our two Finns, Trevitt) but hard to escape the feeling a better manager would get more out of this side.

I suppose the thing is that football is essentially an entertainment industry.
I know football supporters are generally a bit of a strange breed and unless you follow one of the very top teams you’ll have to be prepared to put up with a lot of sub-standard fare, if you plan to last the course.
But, times are hard (and have been for a while), so to go out on a freezing cold evening and spend your hard earned money (and time) on something you anticipate will be dull and disappointing (as it’s often been recently) should never be taken for granted.
What other “entertainment” would receive such commitment and loyalty from its customers/followers?
I know our club often (rightly) commends our supporters but even their benevolence will have its limits.
Supporters of a club, especially one which is actually “owned” by them, clearly should have a voice and deserve the right to express an opinion and have it heard, listened and responded to.
I’m surprised that apart from a couple of bland statements the seriousness of our situation hasn’t been more significantly acknowledged by the club/trust.
We’re constantly being reminded that we’re different but it doesn’t really feel like that at the moment.
In fact there seems to be a vacuum in communication at the very time you’d reasonably expect the exact opposite.
After all without the supporters (us) there isn’t any club anyway.

Cannot dispute that results have been appalling hence the pressure for GC to go but who would replace him ?

Lampard or some other journeyman who has been sacked by numerous clubs?

It’s such a tired argument that there’s no one better. The only journeyman manager we went for recently has been Caldwell and it’s shown us it was a big mistake.

There's plenty of up and coming young coaches out there, the board just have to be proactive in finding them. Not sit on there arse and give the job to the person who makes the best PowerPoint.

Ah the Tisdale argument. I've missed you

 

[Pmc grecian]

Not good enough. Have to be beating poor toothless teams like that at home. That’s 11 league games without a win, absolutely shocking. Didn’t look like scoring for 1 minute of that game, Time to go

how can you comment you weren’t there

I mean... with the Tisdale argument, there was at least an argument. You'd be pretty hard pressed to find someone who could match this run. Where is the downside risk?

Well,that was uninspiring,apart from the free kick that hit the post,i can’t recall any positives,other than a clean sheet,and the fact that fleetwood lost again,diabate will never be a striker,the Finnish lad tried hard as did wilschutt,Acheson looked like ho couldn’t do a simple pass,and the confidence seems to have drained away.it was two poor sides,and neither of them had the nous to get a goal or a win.if Caldwell is still here in January he will have to pull some rabbits out of a hat,otherwise we will be back in league two

Because that would require active agency and footballing nous
