Poll: Should he stay or should he go?

Ok guys, let's clear up a few facts regarding his possession stats:

He averaged 50% possession for his first 9 games

Our last 3 games in which we drew 1 and won 2 his possession average decreased to 25%

Further, the game with his highest amount of possession was 60%, which interestingly was the 1-6 mauling to Blackpool.

Note too that he's said in interviews he was well aware of the problem and sought to address it by changing his approach. And we've seen clear evidence of that in the last three games in which he has sacrificed possession to achieve 2 wins and 1 draw.

Think that can wait until pre season. No point in changing formation and game plan for one dead rubber game at the end of the season, doing so would probably end up with a loss.

 Its better to wait until the players are in to play the system and have a full preseason to make sure it clicks.

tbh i'd be happy with an all or nothing type of game even if we lose like 4-3 or something. i just want to see a shed load of goals lol

I’m with u, he done a job, a poor job overall. We not going to be ripping up any trees if he stays. He already downplaying next season expectations ffs

he had 15 odd games already

I think if you play a straight, old skool 4-4-2 without a co-ordinated press you're just gonna be under the cosh for 75 of the 90. That's what we've been seeing.

I just don't think that model is in any way sustainable over a season.

However, if he can adapt it - as previously suggested - then fair enough. Personally I need to see some evidence of that, starting on Saturday.

If he had Man City squad we still be dull

Not sure I agree Critchley would have kept us up. The guy was a drip. Totally the wrong type of character for a dog fight, as good as his credentials were. As much as was behind his appointment at the time, with the benefit of hindsight, it was a mistake.

Noddy will turn us into a Rochdale

Next season will be a fight to stay up as it stands now. Few tweaks and be comfortable top 12-8.

The poll is still open, in case anyone wants to change their vote in light of yesterday's performance 😂

Voted no, and yesterday did not change my mind. However I think we should give him transfer window (if there is any) and 2-3 months of the next season to see where we stand as this DOF and Board would most likely only sign even worse alternative.

He aint the right man, that's evidently clear to most. Ideal scenario was he came in short term, he got his swan song yesterday we all said thank you very much for ensuring we survived, now be on your way. However he clearly wasn't going to walk away from what he had at Wycombe for a short term deal, hence we've thrown our lot in with him & given him a 3 year deal, so regardless what we all think he is staying.

Got us 2 massive away wins against the odds, but lets be honest having 19% possession over a 90 min football match is horrendous. When you've nicked a result it's forgotten about / irrelevant, but playing that football & not winning - the crowd will very soon turn.

I fear it'll be a hard few months at the start of next year and he won't see Christmas, but I will reserve judgement until he has had the summer to stamp his authority on the side and see how we start, hoping the aforementioned scenario is miles off and he is a roaring success.

Agree, I definitely think he deserves a chance. I don't believe it's a foregone conclusion (like others do) that we'll be in a relegation battle with Gareth at the helm.
