Earlier today that very stat made me roll my eyes - You reach out to other clubs and this is how they repay you :D

With high expectancy and decent ST sales for L2 at Port Vale has seen Lee Sinnott sent packing too.

Today in the Adver there are two pics of Maurice Malpas.

They are different from all the other pictures of Mo, because usually he has exactly the same expression on his face. But in these two he does look bothered. Obviously it doesnt mean anything, but it suprised me to see a different expression on his face!

Bit strange for Col U to sack their manager after spending a bit of cash in the summer. He also guided them to 10th in the CCC a few seasons back.

the point was more along the lines of losing to both of those teams.

Had we been in the exact same position, then maybe Malpas would be under severe pressure, maybe. Williams was failing to win with a team that are trying to fill a brand new stadium and had been playing Championship sides until the summer.

The only team below them is Hereford, whose manager is their chairman and I doubt he'll be sacking himself any time soon!

i just looked for your league position on the bbc football site, and to my surprise you're in league one not two. so you're doing better than i expected.

 I guess OF studies BS south and maybe even BS north, because according to who else goes down, will decide which league they're in next season.
