Sorry, but this shitstorm is entirely of the Radford's making.

The blame cannot lie solely at the feet of the radfords. Some of it can, but the blame is on the rest of the board and the under performing players.
We missed out on promotion with the same players only needing something like 1 point from 4 games was it? And then to lose in a penalty shoot out in the play offs albeit with some rank bad refereeing. Somehow we couldn't manage that and it will have killed the players mindset. The players weren't picked up in the summer mentally and the board appointed a man who had little experience in these situations. It was a risk by the board and you can see why they tried it with other clubs appointing ex footballers as managers and getting results from it. It hasn't worked and has set us back a lot, and a lot of hard work is going to be needed to get us fighting again and a big investment of more money.
It is frustrating not seeing us challenge at the top as we have been used to for three years and the board are trying to fix this mistake they have made imo. Don't think we will get anywhere with the current squad though, they're obviously hurt by the play off loss/sacking of flitcroft and it doesn't look like they're gonna get over it. Need to crawl to mid table now and go again next year.

We would have kicked on this season and we would not be where we are now under Flitcroft.
Not a chance

Are you referring to John Dempster or Graham Coughlan Yorkshire stag ( or both as inexperienced) ?yorkshire stag wrote:The One wrote:Sacking Flitcroft was right, appointing Dempster was a massive error.
100% correct, Please don’t combine the two
should have taken our time and appointed experience

Like I’ve said before some always point towards the sacking and not the appointment - the truth is somewhere down the middle, although I slightly steer the blame towards the appointment.

1966Stag wrote:Agree with Sandy, it’s time to get behind the team and the individuals who are selected to play. The ongoing criticism of individuals on here won’t help (people do read and are affected by what is posted on social media about them) and regardless of how much they praise our support it is generally poor at home with every misplaced or backward pass getting a groan from the crowd, mom announcements laughed at etc etc. Let GC deal with the players and the dressing room, we have got to play our small part in supporting them to get us out of the mess they have got into this season.
