Get your coat Jimmy!!
I’d take Nelson (bit of a gamble which would be less so had we given him time) or go after my original choice of Craig Elliot currently performing miracles at Buxton in the NLN.
😂😂😂 What you actually believed we were staying up when JD arrived?, grow up.

I don’t know if Dean’s the answer but we were relegated in January, the Nelson would’ve kept us up theory doesn’t hold water for me. He did the best he could with the tools available but we never hit the form where survival was a realistic aim. Our team was absolutely abysmal, we aren’t much better at the minute but Hilton either had to roll the dice or stick and accept NLN back in January. He chose to throw everything at survival so credit for giving it a go, it’s not worked out but it was always a long shot.
In my opinion one of our biggest problems is the turnovers of players, we have no identity at all. Too many short term contracts and loans and the team is in a constant state of flux. We must have used an average of 30-35 players a season over the past few years; it’s ridiculous. Throw in a good 5/6 managers/ probably more to the mix and you start to paint a clear picture why we look like a bunch of strangers most weeks.
Unless things catastrophic go wrong between now and May, then I want to see our coaching set up in place over the summer and for the start of next year. Dean/Plummer/Nelson will know who’s worth keeping and who’s not, there’s plenty of time to find the right player , and more importantly the right character to build for next year. Give them a proper pre season to build a team and judge them then.
As mentioned earlier, Dean may prove to be out his depth- I don’t know yet. But to be calling for his head now is for me, mind boggling.

Topics: 59Under Nelson the team had fight, passion and desire he was getting performances from a largely substandard team of players. Would we have stayed up under Nelson? That we will never know now but I would have fancied our chances more than under Dean.

Here we go again! As a club we cannot just keep swapping managers when things are not going for us, Jimmy has not had enough time to settle in, yes he has made mistakes and probably brought in to many players to find a winning team.
But Jimmy is not responsible for our position, this took 5 seasons of ever more declining teams, staff and leagues so your not going to change in 2 months what took 5 seasons of decline and bad ownership to get where we are.
Personally I think we need an experienced director of football in the Barry Fry mold who can help and guide him, Lee Turnbull seems to have disappeared but I would also get him back scouting as he has been the best scout we have had.
Having said that football has become a culture of blame the manager for everything and he maybe not make it into next season, but we’ll thing for certain we can not just keep rolling over manager after manager.

I stopped watching the Iron for a couple of years – just a handful of games that sent me to sleep. Came back just before Jimmy Dean came in. All the games have been entertaining,even the game we lost at home.
Did you miss the County game bill?

It’s the same old story give the manager 10 games next season and then reassess. In reality Nelson should have been in charge until the season end then depending on how he/we had done a change or not could/should have been made IMO.

Yes spot on Nelson should of been in charge until the end of the season ..then depending the outcome make changes or dont .. the gamble to bring in JD and a raft of new faces has backfired.

Isn’t that basically what we did when we brought in Dean?
