Perspective

[Simon Pieman]

Our away form has never been that good under Paolo di Canio, well not compared to the home form. It was a common theme for everyone to lose the plot a bit after away performances last season simply because we got so used to winning at home.

Whilst I think we'll be up at the top end of the table our home record is spoiling the fans and some fans attitudes are cringe worthy.

 Is the perspective viewed from a little over a week from Ardiles's original post, that we're starting to see fans who would like a change of manager?

I would say it's more a change 'in' the manager

Given the nature of the beast, is that a realistic expectation?

[kerry red]

Probably not

So it has to be a case of 'warts 'n all' with PdC

Cos I cant see who on earth would do a better job at the moment

Every time this thread surfaces, I think of this

Trust fucking Ardiles to have started this thread off.

Pompous twat.

 I'd say now we're in a bit of shit....the Board have invested some bucks in this project, and we're 2 places better off than when they took over more or less 5 years ago.

 Next 2 or 3 games will be interesting...the momentum of promotion is now gone, and the realisation that we're in a more competitive league is possibly starting to sink in with a few fans.

 A trip to Carlisle is not the best of prospects when you're trying to turn things around, but that is the hard nature of Div 3...

History repeats itself

A year ago a new squad and 5 games into the season we had lost 4 of them, we were still in the Johnstones, out of the League Cup with Clarke-gate, and the change of manager question is raised.

A Championship win later and 5 games into the season having lost 2 of them, we are out of the Johnstones, We are in the League Cup, we've had a Caddis-gate and a Flintgate and the PDC job security question is floated.

Mao Tse Tung (or one of his sidekicks) might have been a little cautious when in the 1970s he said it was too early to say what were the effects of the French Revolution but shall we give PDC till say November?
