Malpas.......

[my-velocity]

.......out!!

I'm really thinking this is what we need, i don't think he's getting the backing of the players or nothing. Don't think they respect him, and maybe feel he's not the right man for the job.
You've got too think, since taking charge what has he actually acomplished? Our form guide is preety appualing.
Don't mean to sound a bit grumpy or anything, just don't think he's the right person to get us up into the championship over the next 3 seasons or how ever long he's here for??

Views?

It still too early for me to be calling for change.

What worries me, deep in the recesses of my mind, is what if you are right? Next season could be a disaster. Basically, its fair to say I do have doubts right now!

Mixed bag for me really. I was hoping we'd turned the corner last week after the Carlisle game but i was obviously wrong. We do seem to be getting worse and that's 1 win in 9 now. I feel that if we were to give him the summer to build we may find ourselves struggling next season and have to get rid. By which time it could mean we have wasted 9 months and the money to boot. It's a catch 22 really. Do we chop and change in the summer to a proven manager or do we take the risk and stick with him for the summer?

Hehe i was waiting for one of these threads to start....

Unfortunately I think out.
We just seem to be getting precariously worse and worse it seems.
Id rather have  :king:  at this moment in time and thats saying something  :shock:

We wont progress anywhere with MM as manager im affraid.

I thought Carlisle was a turning point as well, then we go and lose two games on the trot. I will go to the remainder of the games but i do not have any motivation to be going.

Sorry to be the first to start a thread like this, just been on my mind so thought i'd share with you guys and gals.

MM has a squad full of Sturrock's ex players: I suspect this is a large part of the problem.

I won't be joining the M.O.B. now or any time in the future.  I think some people may have got a little too used to the protesting state of mind.  I'm convinced that if the fans actually got behind the team a bit more, instead of all this negativity we could have a hlaf decent chance of success next year.

these players seemed to perform ok for STurrock though didn't they?? Sturrock knew how to get the best out of his players and at least motivate them. The players look useless under Malpas now, so obviously something has changed.

[lebowski]

Yes, and they performed for him because they were.... his ex players!

It's not that hard to work out, surely?!

To be fair though Jan, we've had a few appalling games, you must be able to see why people are pissed off with Malpas, especially today.

On the evidence of today you have to think that the only way we can get out of this division is by getting relegated.

It's not the players or formation that are the main problems, it's the utter inability to get the basics right.

I know what you are saying and I don't disagree. I suppose the big question is if, say, Jerel Ifil can't pass to a team-mate, is it Malpas's fault?

If it's because he won't perform for Malpas, do we sack Malpas, or do we ship out Ifil?

A lot of our players have been an absolute disgrace this year, and are getting away with it.

[herthab]

I get a bit fed up of hearing the players aren't being motivated, how old are they, five?

They're professional footballers for fucks sake! Do they really need any motivation apart from their own desire?

I still think it's too early to judge Malpas, but the players should be fucking ashamed of themselves today, a pathetic, spineless performance that actually embarrassed me.

[Tails]

I've defended Malpas so much recently but today was a fucking disgrace. I brought my girlfriend along and two Canadians who don't ever get to watch football... I was fucking embarrased, and ended up apologising to them. It says a lot when a Canadian girl who has never watched football and knows absolutely nothing about it, points out our mistakes.

Sort it out Malpas for fucks sake.

[lebowski]

I met some friends afterwards who were Southend fans. What they saw was some gutless, lazy Swindon players who, largely, couldn't even do the basics right. Where is their professional pride and dignity?

How long until Kanyuka is fit?

[Ardiles]

We should have done better today.  We should have done better against better against Orient.  But it's far soon to call for the manager's head.  Way too soon.

We won't be going down this year.  (Despite today's defeat, we're actually safer now than we were this morning.)  So let's see how Maurice rebuilds in the summer.  If we can't even give the man a single summer to build his own squad, we're useless as fans.  Let's him some space, and judge if we have to later in the year.
