The way I see it-Malpas' fault that Cox missed three decent chances? No its not but i would question where Cox's confidence has gone under Malpas. Confidence comes with scoring goals.The only way his lack of confidence would be the manager's fault was if he were to undermine him-but the opposite is the case

If it wasn't a player we'd all been well up for signing, the general view might be that he's not put the effort in now he's got a guaranteed contract. You surely cant be questioning Cox's effort?

The way I see it-Malpas' fault that Cox missed three decent chances? No its not but i would question where Cox's confidence has gone under Malpas. It does make you wonder to what standard are the players being coached under Malpas. Cox, Zaboub, Ifil, JPM all seem to be under performing since he took over. He clearly has no idea how to motivate, our second half performances are evidence of that. He doesn't seem to have us set up as an organised unit like for example Carlisle, who player for player are no better than us but I expect them to beat us on Saturday. When Sturrock left I believe we were 3 points off the playoffs and that was with Blair and Peacock up front for numerous games. Now we are below Hartlepool and only 4 points above Millwall. Surely that is unacceptable. Fair play to people who want to defend the bloke but it really does look to me like Maplas is a shit manager, who is more likely to take us down than up...

Before any games kicked off this season we were equal top. As I pointed out, the only teams bar Huddersfield who have beaten us are all top 8. The sort of teams we'd lose to under any Manager this season. Sturrock got us beat by Port Vale. As it is I'm not for Malpas, I'm just against judging him right now.

Said it before, will say it again - all our strikers are second rate 2nd division players - there is not one who will worry any team at this level. I hoped that Cox might be the exception, he might still be.

One thing i will say about Malpas is that he is learning. Every week i have been keeping an eye on the "from the dugout" section in the Adver's post match analysis and he talks very sensibly. I like the fact that he has made bad decisions early on but has also seen this. He has put Brez back in goal now and i think he realises he made a mistake. He never gets carried away when we win and he never has a rant when we lose. All the good managers are like that. He needs time etc etc.

Fatbury and Bart .................................. you still have not answered my question.
I suspect that you were not in attendance at last nights game, but have formulated yours views on last night's performance on a commentary on the radio.
If that is the case (if its not I apologise), then what gives you the right to make such sweeping carte blanch statements ?
It also makes you both look like a couple of cocks
