But it sounds like he’s lost the dressing room. The players seem not to respect him (and that is the players fault as well). It’s a difficult one because a long term stay in this division will provide stability but the club as we know it will be a shadow of its former self. I really struggle to stay engaged in the quality of football, officials, pitches, grounds etc I go to every home game even though I have to travel, and watch on NLTV and I can’t believe what I watch half the time. It’s not entertainment, and if this is what sustainability looks like then who is going to be in it for the long term? Maybe 1,000-1,500 hardcore of fans

We’re still second in the league and have won more points than the last 2 seasons combined, we’ve scored 6 in a couple of games too. It’s not all been bad.
I agree it’s been garbage recently but let’s not forgot what’s gone before.
There’s no reason why stability = bad football, it just means we have to be more careful with our money and get better bang for our buck. More Wharton years, less like the Swann years.
We spent huge amounts under Swann but did we ever really overachieve? Did we have many players who exceeded themselves in an Iron shirt? I’d argue no.

whatever the financial implications of sacking JD (put him out of misery) they may be greater if we lose 1000 fans (£10/12 000, conservative estimate) over the remaining home games. I have ticket for Sat but if i didn’t why would want to come and failed to be entertained again. Not may from the Tamworth match will be back again. We have a club be grateful is a diminishing argument. JD is not maxing this team performances.

It isn’t losses that are the problem. It is the nature of it. Fight for everything and lose then you gave it all, but if you see players not 100% then gates will fall.

I can see attendances in NLN next season:
Midweek: 1,500 to 1,800
Saturday: 2,250 to 2,500Do we really need four stands open for such low numbers?
It might save a few bob?

Thats hitting the nail on the head .. no one likes to follow a loosing team but the fact it appears some of the players dont care and offer little fight and pride in their chosen profession most certainly riles fan as they are not going to spend hard earned cash on such a wasted exercise.
After a brief spell of positivity early season on the field and getting GP sorted the roller coaster ride at SUFC trunddles on !! and after all the hard work by Michelle and co its sad its going so badly wrong on the pitch now. Im sure some issue will come to light as to just why the players arent playing for JD …time will tell.

Jimmy could well be clueless as a manager.
The players may have stopped playing for him.
How about the players start playing for the fans.
How about the players start playing for the Club.
How about the players start earning their wages.
How about the players show some pride in their performance.
How about the players realising how lucky they are to earn a living doing something millions do for nothing.
How about they think about what next season might hold for them.10 users thanked author for this post.
Torquay entering administration, Blyth sold to goodness-knows-who, Rochdale on the brink: for all of our problems this year, we still need to be thankful for the fact we still have a club and trust the people who are running it now.
It’s never going to be an easy walk back to glory, there will be plenty of bumps in the road, this is one of them.

Yes, it’s completely natural and normal for people to have opinions about what’s going wrong and what needs to happen. I trust Michelle and the Board to make the right decision in the best interests of the club. Meanwhile supporters should be free to express opinion without the need for aggressive reactions.

Beat me to it. Rochdale could be in real trouble as they seem to be going down without much of a fight.
Blyth’s new owner has no traceable income and seems to preach from the same pulpit as Hilton. As soon as an owner mentions a 5 year plan you know you’re in trouble.

On the contrary, I’d argue the opposite is a dangerous attitude to have and the main contributory factor why we ended up in this mess.
But we differ on opinions, and that’s fine, this isn’t the Facebook group and I respect you may see it different to me.

Don’t entirely agree. There’s a balance to be had between conservatism and ambition. I think the main contributory factors in why we ended up in this mess are more down to the people heading it up. The first being incompetent, the second being a convicted fraudster.

Just seen Alfreton manager Heath YT vid summing up the game .. this fella needs a reality check he is deluded ..gushing how magnificent n fantastic they played whilst obviously forgetting the time wasting tactis from.the first whistle n ther keeper faining injury every time the Iron vit up a head if steam .. hiw sweet was that 95th minute winner in time added for time wasting ..
Yeah he also said they had no injury worries for their forthcoming game on Tuesday so I guess the really injured keeper must have an excellent recovery regime in place. Heath seemed to think his team were superb, I thought they were a bunch of time wasting, rough housing cheating bums but hey it’s all about opinions.
