Just looking back I rated it a 3 (although I couldn't find the post window thread).Yet the majority of people scored the window quite highly out of 10
Great last paragraph
I have supported Buckingham since his appointment but last night was the turning point. He is a man lost and clueless. He has no idea how to control that class and his lesson plans have proved to be a shambles. The kids are bored and disinterested, and now want a ‘proper’ teacher again.
Senior management have handled everything appallingly on the footballing side since the start of last season. They allowed the insanity of Robinson to continue beyond the Summer of 2022. They did OK in appointing his replacement and the team he wanted around him, but then dropped a massive bollock by allowing him to walk away when the first club to flutter their eyelids flirted with him.
They then took a gamble on an inexperienced coach in Buckingham and then FAILED to back him with a team around him and experience to support him as he inevitably needed to learn on the job.
And just who is the sergeant major required to manage player discipline, which is clearly completely lacking.
Des is looking for all the world like the nice supply teacher and the whole class is taking the P**s, whilst the headteacher drools over plans for the new sports hall.
Can’t see Des being sacked next week if we win on Saturday. If we win on Saturday, we probably only need four more wins to make the play-offs. Make the play offs and he isn’t sacked in the summer. Really if he manages that, he will have proven quite a few people wrong, and will be given a transfer window and a few more months.
So the end is not necessarily nigh.
On paper Matete, Goodwin and Bennett should be starting every game. But sadly according to Des they are bench warmers at best, and look like headless chickens when they do get a chance.
We are a team of 11 headless chickens, it’s disgraceful the effect Des has had on our players, and in such a short amount of time too….. we can’t give him another transfer window.
I say replace now, and bring in someone with buckets of previous managerial experience until the end of the season. Then we’d still have a fighting chance of making the play offs.
It’s very unlikely yesWe are not making the play offs.
5 wins in 8 games?

Probably age, and when you look at the rest of the league they're largely settled at LB. Better options for Championship clubs, wages too high for L2. I think he's looked quite good when he's played.Why Bennett?
Should he be starting ahead of Leigh? And why didn't he have a club when we signed him?
I think there's also a massive part of those decent players being thought of as decent on a reputation from history, which has not matched up with the reality of where they are now recovering from serious injuries.Just looking back I rated it a 3 (although I couldn't find the post window thread).
Other's probably rated it higher because we signed some decent players - Des just has a knack of making decent players shite.
Never a truer word spokenI wouldn’t fancy Des to outfox a piece of carrot cake when it comes to winning games of football.
High there. I think you might still be drunk.Can’t see Des being sacked next week if we win on Saturday. If we win on Saturday, we probably only need four more wins to make the play-offs.

Definitely not as a permanent solution, but he did bring everyone together after Manning left, and it galvanised the fans and players, and while I don’t think it will turn around our season now at this point, I don’t think anything will, but it will at least bring everyone back together again, and hopefully create a bit of harmony and positivity going into the summer, ready for what is gonna have to be a massive rebuild job.Isn't Short part of the problem?
Under him we won but nearly blew a 3 goal lead. Really not sure that would be a good choice.
We are not making the play offs.

A new manager bounce could achieve that...
That's a very long shot . . and even less likely if some of the players don't give the new appointment their blessing. Player power has seemingly taken over and we won't achieve anything until those disruptors are either ejected from the squad or put in their place and we have a set of players who know what knuckling down and working as a a team to achieve a goal actually means.A new manager bounce could achieve that...
