Considering the great job Jim and Ken have done for us over the years....Keeping us in the league....keeping us away from relegation fights......getting some good players and moving on those that aren't quite good enough, I think this post is rather premature. OK we've got a groundswell of opinion that wants to revert to the free flowing football we had a few games ago but was there any talk of Jim being in danger then? Yes, we've lost our way at present but it's only a month since we were knocking in goals for fun. Give the man a chance! Come back in the New Year and we'll have another look. Oh! and don't tell me this team is going to get relegated if we stick with Jim. It isn't, not this season anyway ;)

Is keeping us in the league but being pampers at home good enough? Yes. Is it sustainable in the long term? Looking at our attendances I'd say probably not.

Overall Jim is doing a good job, so much so that you'd be hard pressed to come up with a list of names that'd do any better.... the only standout candidate is our record goal scorer who works miracles at Stanley but didn't do a good job at Dale.

Doing a great job conceding 11 goals in three home games! Setting out a team with so many permutations and formations i imagine their heads are spinning before they get on the pitch! Is a simple game, keep it 4-4-2 and just pass to each other and move forward. Occasionally have a shot, occasionally try to tackle an opposing player and perhaps mark a player standing in space on a wing 20 yards away! I know we scored 3 which is great if we knew how to defend! Whatever happens he is our manager for another 2 years after his new contract was awarded recently. So buckle up guys it's going to be a rough ride

new nickname should be (The Tinker Man) like what Chelsea nicknamed Claudio Ranieri.

I agree it is a stupid fixture but i think we will struggle to get many above a 1,000. Just hope it doesn't rain that night

I personally would like to see him stay.

If he was to go though, who would replace him?

I don't think anyone could do much better, would Fleetwood be looking at Jim though?

John Coleman was 12/1 last night, Steve Evans currently 5/6 favourite followed by Steve Thompson an Paul ince. No odds for Jim so highly doubt it !
