I think you're correct on all that though I think BG fell out of favour with the rest of the management and the team - though I agree he would have done much better with more backing from RC and more control of the team with no interference from the others which I can only assume destabilised the team.
Unfortunately the Cowleys need to go and we need someone who will take charge and insist on better players and isn't afraid to drop or move non performers on instead of a yes man. We do not want a repeat of the disastrous run last season that ME took us down.
I think the only chance we have of beating Chesterfield is if 3 pigs fly past my window and/or the whole Chesterfield team go down with food poisoning.
The fact is we just haven't got enough quality up front - Taylor is ok on his day but not consistent enough and we can't really rely on him. Tovide likewise and his temper can cause us problems. Hopper scores possibly once in a blue moon and none of our management or ownership seem to understand why and never invest in the team properly..
Also our issues in defence have not been rectified.
At the very least we urgently need to invest in a consistent goalscorer or 2 in the next transfer window and pack Jay and Hopper off on loan to an NL club before releasing them.
Not a great result, going 3-1 up and only drawing against 10 men - we need to be more ruthless though we are finding the net now.
But we are on 6 points and a number of teams look in far worse shape than us atm.
I am thinking half full rather than half empty at the moment but I wouldn't write our season off after 6 games just yet. Hopefully LT and ST will become regular goal scorers for us - we need them to as the defence still seems to be gelling and DC needs to keep the players likely to win us matches on the pitch.
If we're playing badly and getting a draw that is kind of progress - clouds & silver linings and all that. It would be much better if we were playing badly and winning though.
As far as the racist language goes, that will be recorded on the clubs cctv (if indeed they have any) and hopefully the perps will be looking at a conviction and a long ban from grounds.
It is a shame but he never really showed enough form to be a regular forst team player. Perhaps the Cowleys are planning to bring in another new striker to partner Lyle Taylor up front? As for jay he really does need to rediscover his old form if he is to push for a first team place, if not then we'll likely be aiming to replace him as well though I feel he needs a proper crack at it.
The referee obv was either bought by AFCW or is completely incompetent at refereeing at this level - I wouldn't even put him in charge of the under 11s.
Well David Beckham played for Preston on loan for a few matches when they were in the old third division (now League 2) so it would make sense & get him some experience if he is currently down the pecking order there.
