I’m ready to dump him now - 25 games is more than enough, especially when most agree the squad is fairly strong.

If it is to be done, it needs to be done soon. The January window will soon be upon us and any new fella will need to see what he’s got - and what he’s not got.

Do I think Power will sack him? No.

He has 19 months left on his contract, there is no way he will sack him.

I think it's a bit early to push the eject button too.

it's not like it's irretrievable. just looking highly unlikely today

If Power opted for change which I don't think he will, unless the wheels completely come off, then he'll just stick McDonald in as caretaker and give him the job if there's a bit of a bounce... one of Richards or Taylor might step up to full time cone carrying.

The way people are harping on its as if we are bottom of the league. We are mid table. 4 points off play offs. There’s hell of a way to go this season.

The fan base aren't over reacting, they seen a slow steady decline of STFC under our current ownership.Yes we've still got a club to support but will we be saying that if we're non league? Further more our form under the current management has been poor since he took over from Flipflop, where's the run of form coming from! Even being only 4 points off the playoff's?
The people who post on here could see that that was the wrong team to start with before a ball was kicked, then we get the wrong subs to compound matters. My biggest concern is that if/when PB is shown the door our confidence is shot and the LP continues his run of appointing cheap available managers who can't turn this around. Or maybe the idea isn't to turn it around?

We're as low as I've known us to be since I started going in 1989. It's not good enough.

The decline though is only to be expected, Power has always been up front about the need for sustainability, and the budget he inherited having to be reduced. So we're now about where you'd expect, a mid table Div 4 side who could have a shot at the PO's.... if we could get a decent run of say 6 wins in 10 games that sort of thing.

The summer recruitment confirmed this perception.  What we need to avoid is a proper slump.  Atm we're on a run of 4 league games without a win... by way of contrast last season under Flitcroft, 3 games was the most without a win, it was that which had us in a PO slot, when he bailed out.

Currently we don't look an outfit in complete freefall, but the next 2 games need to yield at least one win.... of which the Cambridge game is a likely must win.

This in a nutshell.

Yes, a couple of wins would put us back in the mix which would make us happier it is true, but we need strikers who can strike and defenders who can defend and currently that is not happening with any consistency. I thought we could get something from yesterday's game only to be disappointed yet again which is becoming the norm, and that concerns me.

Ken has highlighted my fears though. We are one bad management appointment away from the prospect of non league.

Also, if sustainability in division 4 with an outside chance of a playoff spot is all we can expect under Power, he needs to go.

May I remind you he also said (03 December 2013)

If moving the club forward is mid table div2 with no wins in 4 games then forward it is.

Clearly mid table in Div 2 would be progress, we've only been in the second tier, for a few short months of the 21st century.
