Can we now all agree 18:18 - Apr 18 with 10830 viewspennblue

That sacking Paul cook has NOT worked out and in future we should give our managers a minimum of 2 transfer windows unless we are clearly bottom three

I am quite sure he would have got us top six as his style of play, when executed consistently would result in top two form

Who has given him a free pass (Spoiler - no-one). He clearly hasn't failed, unless his remit was to win every game. He took over from an absolute lemon in Cook; any clown can see we're miles better.

We're on 2 points a game, average, since he joined. Bad performances have been Wednesday, Gillingham (h), Cambridge and 2nd half of Rotherham. Every other game we've been mad dominant.

Scoring enough? No. 2 strikers and an LB, and this team is flying.


If he hasn't got a free pass then why can't he be questioned? We're closer to the midtable than top 6.

We may have been 'mad dominant' but it is irrelevant when you don't score goals.

Yes couple of strikers and LB and the team may be flying. Hopefully the next LB will be much better than the current one he brought in last January.

And set-pieces have to be much, much better.

Fcking hell, this isn't difficult.

We are averaging 2 points a game under McK. We play 46 games a season, which would give us 92 points. Even in this nuts league this year, where everyone from 1st through to 10th seems to hardly drop points, that gets us up.

We are bossing games, and picking up points consistently, for the first time since we have been relegated. McK is doing what he is paid to do.

To reiterate, unless you expected him to win every single game since joining (which is mental), then it's difficult to levy too much criticism at McK over and above the usual standard 'game to game' stuff.

Clearly not irrelevant to be dominant when we're picking up points, is it?

Dear me ! It is irrelevant when you don't score goals or create chances. Football is about scoring goals, are you aware of that? Why can't we kill the games off ? Add to this set-pieces. 4 months since he has been appointed and the set-pieces remain terrible. Have we had a single good corner for example?

Furthermore his ability to change games. Have you seen anything of this?

You may think it is all rosy. But there are some cracks that he has to address come summer. Tactics, some decent signings, ability to win in an ugly style. Plenty to do and fingers crossed he succeeds.

So you do expect him to win every game then. We got there in the end.

Cool, you're mad, peace.

No. He defo needed to go.

I would again tho like to remind those who wanted him out and didnt like people who wanted him to succeed, that they are doing the same with KM as PC fans were.

Its not all rosey. Results have regressed, goal scoring is poor and our set pieces are still awful. We all however will hope this is something KM can sort out in the summer.


The basis of McKenna’s team is much better. We are controlling games, generally, teams aren’t creating much against us and we look a much, much better coached team.

Going forward there’s lots to work on but we are a better team under McKenna than Cook’s team.

Have I ever said anything about winning every single game? Don't put the words into my mouth that I have never said, right? Read carefully and don't twist the words.

Won 3 in 10. Is that enough over a season to win promotion?

Truth is no knows what will happen next season. So rightfully there two types of supporters and posters on this forum. Ones who just want to stay positive which is fine. Or those who want to see improvement not regression. Both types is absolutely fine, neither however should be shut down for the opinion they hold.

McKenna's clearly got more points per game than Cook, but no need to exaggerate. 36pts from 20 is 1.8 per game.

Agree the football is better than it was under cook. I do back to a few weeks tho when I said we look like a Lambert side. Plenty of of the ball without any danger to the opposition. We now need to get the players in during the summer to make us a threat. And that will only happen with a better final third.

We're not averaging 2 points per game which is why we haven't accumulated 40 points since Wycombe at home.

Our form has dropped dramatically... 1 ppg in last 6 games and 1.4 over the last 10 games is not good enough.

In fact over the last 10 games only Wimbledon and Burton have scored less, Crewe have scored more goals than us in the same period and they're going down.

And of all teams above us McKenna in his time has only beaten Wycombe and Plymouth...

Everyone wants McKenna to succeed but hiring a 35 year old with zero managerial experience who, just like his assistant, never played a single game of first team professional football remains a huge risk.

Let's see what the summer brings but please let's stop pretending that the case is closed on whether McKenna is the man to get us promoted.

Others can want to see improvement while recognising what a good job McKenna's done.

It's night and day from you having your tongue up Cook's arse for 18 months defending the indefensible.

I've yet to see anyone say there hasn't been any improvements within the squad.

However there's a long way to go which is fine for people to point out is it not. And your final point is the bit that makes me laugh and what I've been pointing out. You hound those who backed PC because they believed in his past success to feel it was only time he needed to bring it to town. However you now blindly follow KM in the exact same way even tho he has 0 experience in managing, we've scored 12 goals less than we did under PC and we are 12 points out of play offs compared to 9 when PC was sacked.

KM has us playing some lovely football. Some of the best for many seasons, however it's falling into Lambert territory of having the ball but doing nothing with it. The stats prove this.

Again before you get upset. That's not booooo KM. That's just seeing it for how it is and hoping he makes the changes needed to be better than a paul Lambert ipswich side.

I'm just nervous that we've seen it all before - so many said "give Cook time, let him bring in his own players" this time last season and we saw how that panned out.

I know, performance wise we're looking much better than the back end under Cook but then the squad, quality wise, is better too. We've also seen a step up on PPG compared to Cook, whereas I think Cook took us backwards from Lambert. Injuries to Edmundson, Evans and Jackson have also clearly affected us and I think we'd have more points on board had they stayed fit.

I said before, I think I've just been bitten so many times by football and this club inparticular that any sign of issues makes me concerned. I can't blame others for feeling the same way.
