... form around.
I really do. I'd love him to prove so many of us wrong (me included).
Good luck Paul Cook. I want to see you succeed. But I am all out of faith. |  |

I would also like to see him turn things around, but if you were being harsh you could say that Cook is failing for a second time already in his short time here.
When he came in last season the play-offs were still well within reach. You could even argue that the run in should have made that even more possible in that Town had somehow played all of the top sides home and away by New Year. In the end Town were nowhere near the play-offs.
New season, totally new team and still nowhere near the play-offs - and the fixtures have been fairly kind in the opening 10 games this season.
If you extrapolate Cook's points per game since he came in to a full season I would imagine relegation would be the outcome. |  | | |

I don't know if I'd call it "faith" precisely, but I still believe there's a chance to turn this around and we've got to play it out.
Beat Shrewsbury and Cambridge, both achievable with some of our September performances and it'll all look a lot more possible. |  |

Even if he did somehow turn us around into play off contenders, I'm not sure who he'd be proving wrong. He would still have underperformed with this squad, just less so | | | |

For someone like me who's the most impatient person in the world this is testing my resolve

We all want him to turn it around, however we have seen nothing in the near 30 games he has had now to run this club to suggest he has the ability to do so.
What's the difference from his previous clubs? Being Wigan (a good club for this league) in League One, during a time the league was weaker than it was now (Bolton got promoted under an embargo for example) was maybe a factor, the same with being a team like Pompey in League Two, a very big fish in a small pond there, and the obvious one is Leam Richardson who is proving that he had a lot more to do with it than we originally thought.
Maybe Paul Cook on his own, in a much stronger third tier than he has experience for, is not a manager nay longer capable of making a great League One side. A lot of the players are the same ones he's used before, years on from when they last did it at this level, it just doesn't bode well. Ipswich should be top 5 in this league bare minimum even if we were relying on academy players, let alone a complete squad overhaul, so maybe he's also recruited the wrong players for this league now? The game changes rapidly these days and maybe we just got him at the wrong time?
It's not happening is it. |  | | |

It keeps coming back to coaching for me.
We've got a lower Championship level squad, but a coaching set-up from the non-league due to Cook's reluctance to bring in any support.
Our first team coaches are:
- someone who decided he wanted to be a kitman rather than a coach
- someone in their first season as a coach
- someone in the first season as a coach outside the U23 (even if this was Everton)
And no AM to stand up to Cook or question his decisions.
That's entirely of Cook's making and i'd be astonished if Ashton hasn't questioned this directly. |  | | |
