Neil McNab in the ill fated 02/03 season. Cornforth was sacked before him in the same season. The Trust have never sacked a manager. So 21 years since City last sacked a manager.

He was given notice on his two year roller and was offered another deal which he declined, so not sacked. Gary Peters signed a short deal that wasn't renewed. So I guess, because I can't be bothered to check, the last manager sacked would have been Neil McNab. Prior to that, John Cornforth?
EDIT. Good job I didn't bother looking it up as MJP has confirmed what I thought!

Here to help.
One good thing about it though, the question has only really seriously been asked twice in those 21 years hasn't it, Tisdale around 8-10 years ago and then Caldwell this season. Other than this I cannot remember serious calls for a manager to be removed.

All correct. Gary Peters claimed to know nothing of what happened that close season when R&L were sent to the big house, and said he wouldn't be returning if John Russell wasn't here as he was the only reason he came here in the first place.

I kept yelling at Fox to resign. Then we had Blake, and I was too frightened to do the same...

Careful, the clappers will be saying that that means we're going down Watford's managerial turnover path...

We have the worst xg V Actual in the league:
"xG vs Actual measures the team's actual goals scored against the expected goals scored. A negative number is bad since the team is scoring less than expected. A positive number means the team is scoring more than expected."
I, like you - have felt our chance creation to be poor.
We tend to not shoot from outside of the area which will skew things as shots from inside the box are given a higher xg rating.
I’m glad we stuck it out with Caldwell, I think the board have a lot to answer for with regards to the striker situation Caldwell was left with after selling Nombe.
I’m anticipating a harder League One next season with a strong set of teams set to come up, teams coming down from the Championship that I assume won’t be facing point deductions.
So I felt with the climate of the league this season we could/should have been up there with your Lincoln and Orient challenging for that last Play off spot but our lack of experienced striker and albeit some bad luck with Demi being out for the season too has prevented that
