I was one of those hanging on in hope that dempster would turn it around but after yesterday's gutless whimper of an exit from the cup when it was there for the taking was the final straw for me.

I genuinely believed we would win yesterday and that belief was confirmed when Norburn was sent off with 30/35 minutes to go. A win and a good draw could have saved JD's managerial career until mid January and given him the chance to get better results in the league.

The performances against Macclesfield and Shrewsbury away have been very poor. We probably only had one or two goalscoring chances in those two games....and they were at Macclesfield!!

A board meeting? A chance to talk to JD face to face out of respect? He’s clearly going to out on his ear soon, why do we need/demand it to happen. Get out and about, enjoy life and it will happen when it happens

Not sure the Dempster thing is spoiling lives, maybe it is his.

People are likely to start doing other things on a Saturday afternoon.

Out of curiosity, did we leave anyone up top when defending a corner yesterday?

Urgency yes, foot stamping toddler like entitlement immediacy not quite. I’d like to think we’re run properly and things will be conducted as such.

great idea let’s just keep waiting yet another 3 pts sorry i mean week, do you really think football manager are only ever sacked after a board meeting at the end of each month ?

this has been a mistake from day one, my god if it’s left much longer we will be back to gates of 2500 get him gone, so we can put this clanger behind us.

Tell you what, fans would hate it and probably boo him on his return walking past the IG stand... but the team would perform we'd win 5-0 and he'd celebrate with everyone.



And he'd sort the shower out on the pitch pretty quickly, and probably send football genius Mr Motivator Drewe Broughton to China.

Wasn’t saying wait a month... they could arrange a board meet tomorrow (you know when everyone’s back at work) with some informal canvassing of the members happening today by JR/CR. They might be working out various exit packages to offer JD? Point is, what difference does a day/few days make.

That’s what we were saying.

I dare say that he wants to get that side resolved before sacking him.

Absolute plums!


I agree with that


Evans can rot in hell as far as I am concerned. Horrible person.


Life is too short to hd such strong opinions about someone you don't know. Evans really hasn't done anything that bad. No one died. Get over yourselves.

He didn't move to China, he went to a club in a higher division, it was handled badly, but come on, get off your righteous pedestal.

If he won he first 2 games we'd all love it. It's football, it's fickle.


Great post well said.

Sounds daft but the sending off for them actually ended up killing US instead.

if we break up the game into thirds here's what I thought.

Ist 30 minutes I was impressed, you couldn't see which team was in a different league, it was just a bang average old 4th division game, nothing spectacular.

2nd 30 minutes either side of half time, again as above, nothing spectacular & had the defender not got his toe to a cross Cooky would've stuck it into an empty goal to put us 1-0 up. As the game got to the hour mark I was convinced it was going to finish 0-0 as I didn't think they posed much of a threat.

3rd half an hour. This is what killed us. They went down to 10 men with a really soft red card & it seemed to inspire their players more than ours. It was as if they said to each other 'we need to win this for the captain' after he'd been dismissed. We didn't seem to know how to play against the 10 men.

The substitutions were baffling. When the board went up with number 5 on it I thought maybe they were making a change before us when I saw Benning & Sterling-James ready to come on. I was stunned to see Pearce come off. Was he injured? It just didn't make sense. Then taking Smith off for Sterling-James I didn't understand either but thought fair enough he might be trying to go for the win. Personally I myself would've brought Jimmy on for the last 20-25 minutes as they wouldn't have had any footage of him so wouldn't have known what to expect. Benning struggled to get into the game as the first thing he did was give the ball away & was lucky not to have been caught out on the break then as the ref gave him a free kick. Then a few minutes later they had a deflected shot & the guy who Benning was meant to be marking slotted the ball into an empty goal to make it 1-0 after 88 minutes, that killed us. Had Pearce still been on I don't think that would've happened.

Pushing forward was always going to leave us susceptible to a breakaway goal but it doesn't matter when it's a cup match so you have to go for it. However just after their goal went in we took Maynard off to bring Khan on. What was that all about? Khan didn't do anything & didn't really have the chance to in 7 minutes, so I don't know why we didn't leave Maynard on.

I left the ground with a mixture of emotions. Gutted we were out. Disappointed that we couldn't hold on for a replay as we may have got on tele, got a few quid and then got a good draw in the next round to lift the fans a bit. I couldn't feel my toes it was that cold. I thought it was cruel that we lost 2-0 with goals in the 88th & 95th minutes but we only had ourselves to blame by not attacking enough & going for the jugular. I also felt that the last 30 minutes were the final nail in JD's coffin because he had such a golden opportunity to show what he can do & shut a few people up. Unfortunately for him & us he failed and I can't see any way back for him now which I am gutted about as I really wanted him to succeed.

In fairness many don’t seem to have quite got that this season.

We’re in the stands stating the subs are needed and it’s usually quite often obvious who’s going to come on.

Yet he waits to go behind before he makes the subs - then it’s too little too late.

He should have made those moves the minute Shrewsbury went down to 10, unfortunately he dithered and panicked and well yeah.
