Possession leading to nothing. KM, now is the time to prove that you are the best young manager in the country. |  |

McKenna's had one outstanding season out of three. He did little more than expected in his first and last season was probably even worse than could be expected. Now he's under pressure. Hopefully it's not a case of the emperor's new clothes. |  |

The team doesn’t look like a team at the moment. Just a group of players with no idea of what’s going on, and that is all on KM. | | | |

We all loved that first season, but coming 2nd with the biggest budget is certainly not over-achievement.
The fact is, he's over-achieved, supremely impressively of course, in one season only.
Not looking forward to the dead-eyed interview where he looks like he needs a good shake. |  | | |

Might be controversial but I thought we were ok, 99 out of 100 we don’t lose, and the majority we win. In complete control just lack cutting edge, I don’t think Taylor works - not creative enough, Clarke not looking himself at all, and Szmodics I’m not sure where he fits in.
But we looked so much better than Birmingham away. |  |

I'm not interested in constant reminders about double promotion. That's in the past, Keiran is NOT above criticism and right now we're sliding towards another mediocre season, at best.
He either needs to sort it out fast or fake the next manager's job he's offered. |  | | |

Care to name a replacement manager you think would do better for us at the moment seeing as you think he should go? | | | |

He isn't the best young manager in the country, people need a reality check. | | | |

I don’t buy that. He transformed a team that looked very poor under Cook, so deserves credit for both of the promotions imo. Ultimately his time will be up, but he’s already made idiots out of impatient fans twice when we had blips. The hard part is knowing when it’s a blip or the start of something more worrying. I think we’re in blip still (probably). |  |

I agree with this up to the point about the blip. I can't help feeling McKenna has lost his way. He keeps faith with a system that is no longer working for the players he's brought in - Clarke and Szmodics still don't function fully within it - and keeps faith with a player like Greaves who keeps making errors. The system just doesn't get the best out of the players. | | | |

Personally, I find it rather irritating when I read comments that we’ve had 65+% possession of the ball, so what? It’s what you do it with it that matters and the influence in pitch areas that possession is having. We seem to keep the ball, for possession sake. Our passing is slow and predictable and over the last 3 matches we’ve created very few genuine scoring opportunities. Goals win games KM, if you don’t get efforts on target you don’t win matches and that’s the bottomline. We look toothless in that final third of the pitch. | |

Danny Rohl is available.
I'm not sure Kieran is completely committed (there I said it) he's come close to joining palace, Brighton and Chelsea.
Is he waiting for the west ham job?
Yes I am annoyed and so should everyone else be.
One shot on target in the 93rd minute is inexcusable. | | | |

I've seen a few people re-writing the achievement of promotion from League 1. It's out of order, and you're normally a fairly decent poster POB. |  |

Oh here we go.
He didn't join Palace, Brighton or Chelsea, so yep, he is committed. If he wasn't he'd have taken one of them.
Suggesting he's waiting for the West Ham job is a ridiculous comment. Even if it were available. | |

Yep, here we go. Someone has doubts and after more than a year I've decided to voice them. You don't have to agree, it's fair enough if you disagree. I'm just giving voice to my doubts after all this time. We are allowed to question and criticise, we don't have to follow with blind acquiescence to every decision.. | | | |

Considering our financial advantage I'd say it matched expectations but little more than that. Look what Plymouth managed in comparison.
Obviously 2023/24 was superb, and well exceeded expectations. | |

The tactics don't seem to change , even substitutions are late and usually like for like .
Today we had players on the bench that really should be starting | | | |

IMO I think (and obviously hope) we will see a big improvement once the transfer window is closed and after the first International break.
Whilst today was frustrating and we looked toothless, I believe we have the players to mount a serious promotion challenge come the end of the season, however we havent won in 143 days now, and this must be addressed soon!
FTR - IF you are the "Supporter" that was shouting derogatory slurs at Jack Clarke from the moment the referee blew for kick off.....please dont come again. Yes he didnt have a good game today and clearly lacks confidence but the clue is in the word "supporter" - you are meant to SUPPORT your team regardless of how they are doing.
Remember - follow the Town, up or down! |  | | |
