    I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back to us in a coaching or hospitality role, he played a large part in our success over the last decade.

    Yeah could see something like that coming a mile off, he'll probably get a chance at managing us inside the next 3 years.

    Two-time Rotherham gaffer and all-around lovable jock Steve Evans has been announced as the new manager at Bristol Rovers. He's unrecognizable by the presentation photos - said to have lost 90+ pounds. Good on him. Still a tool, though, if i had to guess.

    We've slipped back into the bottom four after reverting to our early season form and the knives are out for Hamshaw again. We're also one of the favourites to be relegated by the bookies and they're rarely wrong unfortunately.

    I know things tend to go in peaks and troughs but I've been thinking about where it all went wrong and I think it was not appointing a more experienced manager when Warne left. Sure, Taylor kept us in the Championship by the skin of his teeth that season but it was also thanks to us being high up in the table early on in the season before Warne left. The following season we were basically set up to fail because of Taylor's bad signings.

    Taylor also signed Hugill on a long term contract who if I were him, I'd be embarrassed to call myself a professional footballer never mind a striker. He also squandered £1m on Nombe who while not quite so terrible, we could have probably got a similar less injury prone player on a free transfer but Taylor wanted to sign him from his former club.

    As things stand our chairman seems to have lost interest. I'm assuming that's because he knows that even if he fires Hamshaw the quality of manager applying to replace him won't be much better.

    The money must have run out...

    All of the excuses they're making for Hamshaw could have just as easily been applied to Matt Taylor and he ruthlessly got the boot even though he had a 5 year contract, then they appointed Leam Richardson with the same injured crock of players and never gave him a proper chance but now when we look like heading towards League Two our chairman is suddenly Mr Patient.

    Yeah tbh it makes you wonder if our chairman being a life long Wednesday fan is playing a role in him being so patient so with Hamshaw given how ruthless he has been with previous managers.

    Hey ... I didn't realize that Adegboyega got a late winner last night ... :thumbsup: ... last I saw the Millers had leveled it around the hour; I guess I never checked back. That's a potentially huge result v Northampton - a six-pointer if you will - though it might be early to look at it that way. Still 23rd - and of course four go down in the 3rd division - but only two points off 20th, and all from 15th down reachable with just a couple of wins.

    When they went down early, it made the table look potentially bleak; but it's much more encouraging now. That is a cracking result from 1-nil down.

    Yeah we got a much needed win but as the table said before kick off Northampton are almost as bad as we are. We were apparently awful in the first half so against a better team it could have been a different story. We just have to hope the win gives us a bit of confidence and our form picks up but like you said it was a big win as far as the table is concerned. We've signed a couple of players such as Adegboyega which should hopefully help as it did Tuesday night.

    Big 4-0 win away at Exeter today and all of the other results have gone our way, here's to hoping we've turned a corner.

    Lots of enthusiasm surrounding our transfer activity this window, we've brought in about half a dozen players and offloaded one or two who have struggled. Most are only short term contracts but it should see us start climbing the table and avoid relegation hopefully.

    Yep and then lost it second half, again... it sounds like Dawson produced one of his howlers for their second goal.

    That's two crucial six pointers we've lost back to back and we're back in deep ****. :(

    I'm not even sure a change of manager can rescue our situation now unless we can somehow drag Warnock out of retirement.

    I'll be bemused if Hamshaw isn't sacked in the next 48 hours.

    I usually just watch the high(low)lights on ITV.

    Most Football League clubs offer a streaming service through their website for armchair fans. I think you sometimes only get commentary though.

    You don't want to watch us anyway, we rarely manage a shot on target and it looks like Hamshaw is here to stay. I wish our chairman had exercised this kind of faith and patience with Matt Taylor and Leam Richardson.

    Just seen Donny's second from Saturday. What on earth was Dawson thinking? Crikey.

    No idea, the funniest part was how he panicked and went running back to goal. I don't know what Wednesdayites made of him but already most of our fans see him as a ticking time bomb.

    Rumours are that there's a clause in Hamshaw's 3 year contract that we don't have to pay him compensation if we get relegated, so that might explain why he is still here.

    We lost again tonight, another 0 shots on target. We look as bad as we did most of the time at Championship level.

    Whoa, is Wikipedia wrong or did Dawson only make 105 appearances for Wednesday in 11 years? 170 senior games before joining us. He must have spent most of his career sitting on the bench.
