The reason we are rubbish

I do wonder how forgiving people would be if the previous regime had appointed malpas

That's a bit of a pointless comment DRS because they didn't appoint him and the situation is completely different.

The old board would've appointed a more recognised name perhaps... But we also could be in L2 with minus points or out of business.

No also about it!

Yeah true im just shocked if i am honest at the lenghs some people will go to avoid layin the blame where i feel it should lay

[JPC82]

anyone hear the interview with Malpas after Hereford?
he was asked what he will be doing the weekend as Swindon had the game on friday night, his reply was:
'I suppose i should go to watch Leeds but im going to be selfish and see my family then play golf'

I think MM should be blamed such as much as the useless tossers who continually let the club down.  It's becoming a bit of a joke.  MM should have a lot to say after yesterday I think he now needs to come out and show us (somehow) that he's gonna fight to sort this out, it ain't gonna be pretty, some players aren't as good as first thought and changes need to be made.

I can't stick another week of players, assistants, coaches using ther adver as a mouthpiece to spout the normal claptrap that has already been said time and time again.

I predict though there will be an apology from Smith and Ifil taking responsibility, which isn't gonna help really.  Not sure what would help at this time.

god forbid he has a personal life.

I totally agree Sonic, if he cant trust his scouts to give him an honest report fo a game then why employ them. He cant be at every single game scouting the oppo.

[JPC82]

its just i would have thought he would like to see 1st hand what hes up against, which he admitted but said he'd be selfish instead

[michael]

Not bothered if he sees Leeds or not, but why say that in the first place?!

[sonic youth]

i think we're going to end up with malpas polarising opinion drastically. there are already some who don't think he can do right and some - myself included - who will defend him to the hilt.

it's like kingy all over again

It just seems like a pointless thing to say. I'm all for a bit of honesty from the manager and his is refreshing at times but then you also have to say that there comes a time where tact is far more important.

[Don Rogers Shop]

I want to support him and during the 90 mins i will but after that if i feel that we aint performed i would not mind knowing why

True, but perhaps MM is just not the media darling that the Town fans need, perhaps he has not had much to do with quick thinking in interviews, unbelievably some managers are just thrust into these interviews without any preperation or time to collect their thoughts.

As for Sonics point about AK...it does seem to be increasingly moving towards that black/white love/hate him kinda way, the only thing that is opposite with AK and MM is that fans opinions of AK decreased when they actually met him and with MM opinions improve when they meet him.

[JPC82]

its easy saying its always individual errors, but why are they happening? are they low on confidence due to the managers methods? i know they have had serious problems with Malpas' training methods and formations
