Is Tuesday's game make or break time?

[jbc.shrimp]

I do not think it's make or break. I have always been 'Jim in' but I do fear for him. How long our owners will accept the situation ??. Yes something has to change, and yes I say Oliver must be dropped. I will be there Tues night barring ill health or a coffin. 2-1 to the Shrimps

Although now you can pay a tenner and watch the game on ifollow who knows

You can only watch the game if you are abroad... can't you?

Under the new rights deal which started this season, UK residents can watch all non 3pm league kick offs on a PPV system on iFollow.

For me the questions have to go to the owners. It's not good enough currently.

We have a conference budget at best and the lowest crowds in the league.

We either back Jim with a proper budget, or remove Jim and give the new man a proper budget.

Or if they've not got the finance or the will to do the above, then stick with Jim, because all that will happen is bringing in a new manager at great cost, who can at best get a load of loans in from sides that will let the players out for nothing as they have literally zero interest in them. This is always without fail the route to absolute oblivion.

I agree Supermarket Shrimp about the manager's budget but I suspect the new owners will say they have increased the budget since they took over. My worry is the style of football adopted i.e. hoof ball and the negative set up of the team plus the selection of some players is at least as big an issue. I repeat myself but it is very clear that Vadaine Oliver is not good enough and yet week in, week out is being selected and promising young players are overlooked. Beginning a game with the aspiration of getting a draw is not acceptable but that seems to be the way we set up.

Chucking in a can of coke to the 3 bags of fish and chips is unlikely to bridge the gap though, lets be honest.

The selection of Oliver is baffling though. He wasn't good enough last year, I don't see what flogging the horse one more time is going to achieve. Callum Lang became good because we gave him that run of 4/5 games and he grew in stature. We need to do the same with the new signings ASAP.
