I think that the key difference is the performances which aren't as bad as when Hammel was in charge. Going into the last ten minutes one or two goals down, Hammell's team would not have fought back to win points.
Not a fan of your phrasing as the gentleman in question actually has a name but I agree with you. Daniel Philips is exactly the kind of midfielder that we need and, although he was poor in the last game, he controlled the midfield when playing against us last season.
Thought Bevis was the best of a bad bunch first half and Davor did well second half. SODs was average first half but did well at centre half after all the substitutions were made so somehow scrapes it. He played the full ninety and was the least worst.
Tony Mowbray. Sacked by Sunderland but seems like most were sad to see him go. No money to spend, brought youth players into the first team, nearly got promoted.
I agree with that and if we can shithouse our way to tenth place at the end of the season then that's fine by me. Until we can get a CEO on board who hopefully has a sustainable vision for the club and can address our recruitment concerns (Nick Daws for one) we're in limbo so survival at this time is all that matters.
Bevis hasn't done much wrong this season so dropping would be harsh. I've even had him man of the match in the last couple of games. Casey's form has been indifferent although improved recently. Butcher is just back from injury and not up to speed yet.

Good finishes but comical defending by Notts.
Bailey Rice? Reece McAlear? Stuart McKinstry? Allan Campbell and Chris Cadden both established themselves, playing a good number of games before leaving us for nothing. Paul Slane if you want to go back a bit further.
I agree. Was really disappointed in him when he stated that his preference was to stay in Scotland. At his age he ought to have looked much further abroad than even Norwich. Hickey, Ferguson and the unfortunate Tierney should be held up as role models to our youngsters.
I think that if one of our players had done what Greg Taylor did then it would have been red. Call me paranoid (maybe I am?) but I don't think that VAR has improved the inbred bias towards the two buttcheeks.
