Personally I am enjoying life under Iffy. The players are playing with more pride and passion. The players are fitter, results aren't brilliant but at least we look like we could score and we were losing lots of games by a goal or so. Under Iffy we have had more clean sheets.
I like Iffy's squad selection. Under AK I would be prepared to bet on my life that Stroud wouldn't have played on saturday if AK had chosen the team. The players are playing in positions that they are used to ie Barnsley - Pook on the left wing.
What I like most though is Iffy is willing to take the blame when needed. King just used to single out a player and land all the blame on them, most of the time he used Jerel as a scapegoat.
IN conclusion I feel that Iffy is the right man to keep us up. I wouldn't mind at all if they said Iffy had the job permanently.
P 7 W 1 D 3 L 3
Better than Ak this season and this is after taking on a team that has a lot of youngsters in and a team that was so low on confidence having lost 7 in a row.
PS Cureton scoring will good for him and he has played 3 full matches and he will have gained match sharpness or on the otherhand we may be able to get him off our wage bill.

so many positives from saturday but one game does not make a season, lets keep the momento going and stuff boston and city then things might start looking up.

Sorry but it's P 6 W 0 D 3 L 3 in the league which is a lot worse than our start under King and we've played games like Franchise where you would expect to get something and ideally a win, to lose by two goals was shocking.
It's not true to say King constantly blamed Ifil, it was just that he found his mistakes frustrating because he had the strength and pace to be a quality defender which is fair enough.
Iffy has done little to convince me so far and unless there is a marked improvement I can't see us staying up whereas I have no doubt we would have if King hadn't been sacked.
Attendances have also decreased so far as me and Reg expected but far from the 7,000 a week average that many were predicting.
I hope that we can continue to put in performances like saturday and not Franchise style shambles and then things might start to look up but to say they are looking up at the moment is simply not true, if we continue our current form we'll end up with less than 30 points.

i agree with mostly all of that bwb, but one thing you can take from iffys management so far is that the players have kind of bucked up abit. Under king it seemed like they had given up, and i think something new was needed.
i didn't agree with king going, but things end and they did i guess need a change sometime, and when your bottom...you need to do something.

i would have to disagree with that dave....but i will say, it was the most dissapointing performances due to the fact you expect them to do alot better against the teams that are meant to be near the bottom!

The nottingham forest game this season we put in a good performance against a team who now lie just outside the playoffs and actually won, something we've not yet done in the league under Iffy. Whilst that remains the case it's laughable to claim there's been a big improvement. If come the end of the season we easily avoid relegation then you can claim that there's been an improvement since the start of the year and we will see what happens next but currently it's not the case.

The irony in this, is that if Iffy/Woan proves to be a successful combo, then its because King got them in.....

It’s still honeymoon period time for Iffy but there’s no questioning that a lot of fans see him as future spouse material rather than the obligatory stag night fumble.
Two contrasting styles one galvanized by pessimism the other with optimism.

Iffy seems to have got them working - to some extent, I can forgive players at this level not being very good (we too often forget there's a reason why these guys are in 3rd division football), but I can't forgive them not putting in the absolute maximum. Which is, I suppose, why I find Roberts so frustrating. He's got the ability, just the idle shite won't put the effort in.
