Out of interest, what is Desβ record since been here?Just checking the Des in brigade, 'its 2 points " out of 12
If Des was making the same mistakes consistently I would worry but it doesn`t seem that way.
He might be tinkering with what he`s got to get the best out of it.... as they say its better to try and fail than not to try at all.
As long as he IS learning.
Are the two mutually exclusive? Iβll get behind the team but it wonβt stop me having serious concerns about Desβ competence to lead the team.Ten players injured though, some people seem to want to overlook it.
I didnβt think this guy was the right appointment but I will judge him once everyone is fit again.
Also whatever anyone thinks he is here for the long haul regardless, because of the investment to bring him in.
So maybe just get behind the team perhaps for a change.
Just watched it, Blackpool ran them ragged first half. just like us canβt put 2 halfβs together.Stevenage with another late goal.. Back to 7th it looks like.

As much as I hated his last 6 months, KR was an excellent manager. His personal issues and public affair were what caused his demise here, his head was not straight.(Talking of Wrexham, I see KR's good start at Salford continued today. Didn't expect that at all.)

Iβm not suggesting Des is sacked, but when Long, Murphy, Bodin and Goodwin return this week, the injury excuse disappears, in my mind. Hopefully thereβs an improvement in performances and results.
Injuries are crippling to any team though. Heβs been Really unlucky.Are the two mutually exclusive? Iβll get behind the team but it wonβt stop me having serious concerns about Desβ competence to lead the team.
And I was someone who was happy at the time of his appointment. I was expecting a lot more. More presence, more leadership qualities, more assertiveness, more clarity.
It is early days though and, as someone else has said, he should - and will - get the rest of this season to show what he is all about.
In reality, I think they can only afford to lose 1-2 more games this season.4 players back next weekend. By the time we have a fully fit squad, the season will be gone.
The squad is set up for 4231, but Des stated his preferred system is 343 or 433β¦he is clearly having to adapt, but we are now 13(?) league matches into his tenure and I think most would struggle to understand what the plan is. Are we a pressing team? Are we trying to create from cutbacks? Crosses? It still feels very muddled and reactionary.

I hope nobody is claiming Edwards is part of this legion of injured players making it hard for Buckingham? He signed him in the total and full knowledge that he won't be fit until 'at least' the end of March.Cumming meant to be back as well. And then I think I read somewhere that Bennett would be back the following weekend - not sure of the source for that though.
Des has? Or Dim Tim has?I hope des succeeds,but he has royally fucked this season right up
