You are actually hilarious. I think you’ll attract a lot of the spineless halfwits though.

Most pointless thread of 2018. This is why football is dead, 4 games into his reign...

I’m not Flitcroft out because managers need time but we’ve barely created a chance in 4 games under him now. When do we start to worry?

This may seem premature but we really have been bad. 4 games and I don't think we've made a clear cut chance? Took a team that was going to be serious contenders for top 3 to one that will genuinely be look to make the top 7. Accrington and Luton next is bad news for us - left early today for the first time in years we've been that poor

I'm not calling for him to be replaced yet but this has been a very poor start.

Swindon fans had him for 30 odd games and weren't bothered in the slightest that he had left even though they were top 7 - says it all about the style of play and I can see where they were coming from after 4 games

Exactly. He knows how to make players he knows play. I’m just amazed at people missing the real villain.

change of manager is an easy excuse for this set of bottlers to hide behind

So if we take this at face value and being realistic rather than a response to a poor result. Why the hell would you sack someone after 4 games? It would definitely mean we wouldn't get into the playoffs, it would mean that no self respecting manager would think about going for a job with the Radfords and we would end up paying out compensation to Flitcroft and Futcher. Finally, we would end up looking like a joke even considering something as stupid as this.

Absolutely ridiculous

This season shouldn't be a write off but it is.
What is Flitcroft doing?
Why doesn't Hamilton run with the ball now down the left, the overlapping full backs are no longer, McDonald just isn't the same player, Atkinson who did play well today seems to be in favour, but all season he has been ineffective, why are none of our players pressing when not in possession.
If DF and BF are to stay please only be till the end of the season.

He didn’t need to do owt except tell em to do what they had been doing. Now was not to the time to put your own mark on it fgs. We had some real momentum and had a great chance of top 3. Now we will have to fight like owt to make the playoffs and our recent form suggests it will be difficult.

Its the spineless wonders on the pitch that should be apoligising not the manager. Fgs he's only had 4 games. These players have took the easy way out, which I feared they would do after Evans leaving . The trouble is that he fought most of there battles from the side of the pitch, and most of them are not capable of rolling up there sleeves and fighting for the points on offer.
I use the word spineless, but could think of something much stronger.

We won't make the playoffs and I am as disappointed as anyone. But you can't blame the manager. He hasn't had enough time. I expect a lot of these players will be leaving in the summer. Flitcroft will bring in his own players and that is the time to judge. There is only one person to blame for loss of momentum.

This is so true the players deserve a right bolloking in my opinion they think they are better than they really are angol needs a right kick up the arse ,pearce has been a bloody liability the last few games ,soon as logan threw it out today i knew they were gonna score its getting predictable now were seeing the short termism now of appointing evans ,just wish we didnt rush the appointment so soon ,but flitcroft will get us there :coys:

A very disappointing start to David Flitcroft's reign as Mansfield manager = DDDL. It's too late to be changing the style of play and formations. We just need to stick with what has worked for us most of the season. We all need to stay together but it now looks like the play offs at best.

Garbage? Under Evans his garbage recruitments would have seen us to a comfortable top 7 finish and a challenge for top 3. No doubt about it though, Evans has dropped us right in it and unfortunately Flitcroft doesn't look like he's the one to see us through, think I'd rather have Cox back for last games as opposed to what we've had on show for the last 4 games.
