David mate, you bottled it last season. You were not the answer, soz.


Maybe he did, but the crowds were entertained. I don't see 1000-1500 Stags travelling to away games any time soon.

Well 1000-1500 fans thought flitcroft would get us promoted, until he choked, again.

As said previously, your tone is bang out of order, for obvious reasons.

Also, just from this thread alone, we are now falling out as supporters.

A majority from last season got what they wanted by getting rid of Flitcroft, live with the fallout for a while.

Sacking Flitcroft was not a massive shock. Some people would’ve kept him and some would’ve got rid. However, nobody would’ve thought to appoint Dempster that quickly - massive call from Radford. Time will tell if he’s dropped a clanger.

We never do take 1000 fans early doors (unless its a big cup game i.e WBA) or localish league game. Towards the end of the season March onwards maybe.

I didn't want us to get rid of flitcroft. It seemed harsh as it was the players who bottled it after he had them playing some lovely football at times. However, I understand that in the modern game, being so close on 2 occasions and not getting us over the line results in loosing your job. What surprised me more however, was dempster getting the job. I hope he proves me wrong and I will support him and the team. It is also early days with time to get it right but the team and players look disjointed at the moment. Rose has done well so far but the tactic seems to be to bypass the midfield and lump it up to rose at the earliest opportunity and I'm not sure we have those type of players

I think we all need to calm down. Three games in and whilst there are obvious weaknesses, we all have to give JD and LG more time. If we'd lost the first two matches, then I'd be more concerned. Let's see what happens over the next few games. Not a fan of Logan but would never jeer and boo him like some so-called fans did on Saturday and tonight. Mindless behaviour.

sensible post. I remember the conference promotion season, the first month or so was awful and no one believed we would go up as champions that year. And Cox had little experience managing a 'big' club either. If we can sort out our defence then I think we will be alright, but to call for the manager to be gone or to suggest Flitcroft coming back after three games is just absurd. Patience is needed.

a lot of fans seem to be losing patience after failing to gain promotion after 2 bites at the cherry and you can see by some of the knee jerk reactions on here.

Not bang out of order at all.

He choked, bottled it. Whatever. We all wanted him to succeed, he didn’t, he couldn’t get over the line - JR chose to move on.

The difference is that Cox had successfully managed the team the previous season and the championship win was built upon that momentum, as was a respectable final position in our first season back in the league.

We missed the chance to build on last year's momentum by replacing the management team.

Tonight's jeering and some of the comments on here are baffling. Did people really expect a new manager coming in to lead a team which had capitulated twice in two seasons to have a glorious unbeaten run?
There were issues last year and whilst there are some re positives our defence is clearly over the place.
Trying to change the team's has caused us issues and we have come up against two very well drilled teams and have not been able to beat them.

Some of the nonsense shouted tonight and posted on here including suggesting sacking the new manager and buying Darrell Clarke out of his League One contract defy belief.

The good the bad and the ugly of the Internet tonight.
Think it was better when you talked over a pint after and before each game and waited for the Chad. (Good)
Calling for the manager to be sacked after 2 unbeaten league games. (Bad)
The calling of individual players performance after 3 games. (Ugly)

Would be interesting to see if someone could collate our recent penalty shoot out success?

It’s got to be a pretty low percentage.

I love JR to bits and he and Carolyn have turned this club around beyond all belief but he has one major flaw
He appoints managers much too quickly and I think he has dropped a clanger here with JD I really think he is out of his depth and it is a very uncomfortable feeling and this season might be a flop but not a Flip flop hopefully
I agree early days and all that ands support the new regime but signs not so good and nobody would have thought that Morecombe would be a team to worry about.
Can't see much coming from the next game as Carlisle won 3 nil away at Barnsley and they had 11 players!!

It would be financial suicide. Not only would we have to pay off Demps, we would have to pay off any backroom staff Clarke doesn't want. We would have to pay compensation for Clarke. Clarke would likely want to bring in a few players. Then Clarke will be hamstrung with players taking up budget he doesn't want and have to sell them or get them to leave. This is a part of how Flitcroft lost his job (note: I said part of) and Clarke could end up the same. Its is eerily close to what happened at County.
