Should be easy to climb over and leave then when we concede our 4th goal

As Captain, he's certainly not leading by example

Think Chaplin might come in for Braybrooke - not been at his best last couple of games.

Should this be in the McCarthy thread

This could go on and on like Cifuentes. Just winning the odd game here and there. People saying he'll get sacked if he loses the next three games, only for him to win the third one. However, I don't think they'll sack him anytime soon as he'll argue he needs time to bed the new players in. But should we get thumped at Stockport and then lose against Barnsley the following weekend, he may not be given that time.

My quote from 7th June was a statement of what RM always says, not what I'm thinking. He likes to throw people under the bus, this was what I was referring to.

I didn't want RM as our manager, but have been quietly surprised with how he is turning things around. I still want to know if he can overcome issues we have with teams that come and park the bus, as there will be more that do this than don't.

Faes - waste of a number. Personally wouldn't have give him a number.

It would be a tad harsh on his last two performances to be fair to him, but he's not a long term solution. My fear is that he will replace McPharlane, which IMO would be a backward step.

I agree using Vardy as an analogy is somewhat obscure, but my point is why do people write off players or managers after less than a handful of games. Like I agreed, they've not made a brilliant start, but at least give new players some time to bed in. It's like those calling for RM to be sacked after 5 games - give him time now the transfer window is closed to see if he can get us moving in the right direction. There have been those wanting our academy players to be given a chance and here is a manager who is doing so. I wasn't particularly happy with his appointment, but at least there looks new energy and commitment around the place at the moment.

I find it difficult to write off players after a handful of games. Yes, they've not made the best of starts, but neither did Vardy. Luckily we persevered with him.

Ricardo released

Think Doyle has to feature somewhere, otherwise a somewhat pointless loan.
