    Nah, too soon for both parties.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Dunno how cheap he was or wasn't, but he'd been out of the game for 4 years. Warne is a whole other level and seems doubtful. Imagine the money we got for The Snake went a fair bit towards Monk. As for players, no one is even sure our highest earner even exists, which is helpful. There's not...

    Jon Brady is the name that jumps out to me, a balance of realistic and a former U. As well all know, those are the only two criteria.

    Funnily enough, I think they were the first two decent chances Loft has had with his head for us. Always assumed he may be more useful there than with his feet, but that got categorically answered yesterday! Pick a kick off time, we're shite at it. Early kick offs probably make for a flatter...

    It's the downside of being notably more patient than most clubs, and it really has bitten us on the arse this time (and before with Derry/Calderwood etc). Should have gone a long time ago really, if not after the start then certainly after Bristol Rovers. So with his time now at an end, he...

    And as a bonus, Sam Smith is good bloke and hasn't raped or beaten any women. He's certainly one of the more complete forwards I've seen for us, nice to see him doing well. Even if separating him from the Knibbler is outrageous.

    Ehh, he'd been fouled repeatedly without getting the decisions, a yellow in isolation for what did it wasn't a yellow but it was earned even if the ways of getting to that point were a bit odd. He's 18, I'm sure he'll still develop physically. But yeah, enjoy your customary 3 points at our...

    Gibbons is fine. Loft was the loft we were all promised today. But yeah, today's result is the last bit of hope gone. This side, under this manager, are not suddenly going to hit play off form, so we're finished.

    Think we're banned from shooting, and Harper is banned from getting fouls given.

    Yeah a few on our side seem to think the heartbreak of losing that cup match like that would dent you, but it must be the opposite surely! But yeah, 100% must win for us, last chance saloon and all that. We have 7 more favourable matches coming up (hard to say that when you're bottom!) and not...

    Not quite a manager, but adjacent given the unsackability of Monk, but we've sacked our director of football Ben Strang. It's been a disastrous few windows, but the timing is a trifle unusual.

    If Laird had been tugged back properly then there would have been no need, but I'm not holding that against a young talent like Barton. I don't even think the second one was a challenge, he's just there when Stansfield starts showing off. Nowt scandalous about it, just the kind of things...

    Bit soft maybe but still a pen for me. Both penalties were very clumsy though, Digger seemed surprised as anyone he went for a unnecessary twirl there! The first was a misjudged shoulder to shoulder but why do it? Needless.

    Playing an injured player for 25 minutes like that is also a dickhead thing to do.

    Hahaha peak Cambridge this year tonight, Danny Andrew injured during the warm up. Given how things have been this season, I imagine that means we'll be at his funeral next week!

    It has been pencilled in as a free hit given how long ago it was meant to be played, just didn't realise there would be an almost full schedule with some other of the candidates involved. Ah well. May as well just beat them then I guess!
