Right, but it's the keeping ball close to feet on the plastic that seems to often be a problem as it gets held up and stuck slightly behind.

Is Robinson part of McGhee's team, or was McGhee told Robinson was being brought in?

I think you're right. And we'd end up with the whole MyFootballClub experiment. We need to think of it more like being shareholders in a company. Let the Board go about their business and if there are major issues where we disagree, and there is sufficient support among the members, then we can get it changed.

The ball seems to get held up a bit on even the best plastic pitches, so having players try and run with it doesn't always work. It's another reason I'm not a big fan of them.

In a situation like this, I wouldn't expect an email saying McGhee Out - Click Yes or No. For now, at least, I'm satisfied that our Board is working in the best interests of the club and with appropriate communication with the Society Board. If that's ever not the case, I presume the Society Board members will let it be known and we can consider our options.

Gardiner by a country mile.

I googled his twitter feed (I know, I know). According to that, he came back on Sunday night "After United lift the Cup"

He'll need to resign first

Why is Willie Ormond listed on there?

If we rule out managers that have been sacked (especially if we don't want to pay compensation) it will be a pretty short list.

Duffy would be a good shout. Robinson would be a big risk.

Maybe, but then that wasn't an interim manager.

I've boycotted every game so far this season and don't expect this will change with a new manager in place at the weekend.

If he loses the next 3, then no.

You're right - I remember that one now. Seriously jammy.

I'm not sure Robinson has the track record we're looking for in turning around a struggling team. I also don't remember us being too clever defensively the last time he was here. I suppose we'll see what he can offer in the next few games.

I'd like to think we'd do a Leicester now and turn in a performance. From memory, however, our record with interim managers seems to be a string of defeats - although I'd be delighted if my memory is failing on that one. Maybe a boring 1 - 1 to settle the nerves.

I did mean that. Just a poor choice of words with "graduate". Jules obviously has the least amount of hours in the U20s, but the other 3 have clocked up a few.

Graduate was the wrong word, but they all have U20 time under their belt - I didn't mean to imply they came through the ranks.

Most of Saturday's defence are current U20 players or very recent graduates.

That's an insightful and detailed opinion. I'd be interested in your legal/financial review of the situation. Any other gems you care to share? I'm guessing you support some other team, because if the Society that owns the club disappears, so does the club.

For all the calamity in the defence yesterday, we have as many problems up the other end of the pitch. From the start of the season we have struggled to score more than 1 goal in a game, and in this league, you aren't winning games like that.

He always had a bit of pace, he was just needing to bulk up a little - which has now. Would be delighted to see him get promoted to the top flight as it would be a great example to our youngsters on how to time and manage moves for success.

Fans are just as bad at assessing managerial talent as they are playing talent. If it ever does come to picking a new gaffer I'd prefer someone based on skills and track record over "I liked him as a player". Some short memories in here regarding the quality of performances under Butcher - not to mention the lies about his departure.

We own the club. If there was enough dissent among the owners we could force a change. I don't think there is, and I wouldn't want to at this stage, but not a fan of taking money out of the club when they need are in need of support.
