I'd bring in independent medical staff to see how many of our players are playing while on their monthly period. Also check the players toilets to see if there is a Tampax machine in there.

Well I'm probably in a minority tonight, but I'm really hoping he stays. We can't go on and on praying that we stumble across a saviour. Didn't his Plymouth promotion team achieve 100 points? and revitalise a soporific football city similar in size to Stoke on Trent. He needs 'backing not sacking', we've stumbled around in the dark for long enough.

They’ve edited that comment from the video now - but it was definitely said as I heard it myself a few hours ago. Someone from the media team must have realised after the fact. Laughable really, the whole thing. The manager seems to be out of his depth and is clearly feeling the pressure.
Feel a bit sorry for him, obviously came here thinking this could be another success story but I think the job is too big for him. We’ve got to stop bringing managers in from League 1 or this division who’ve had a couple of good seasons at one club. Like Nathan Jones, Schumacher has come in and is basically trying to repeat what worked for him at Plymouth, even to the extent of bringing in 2 of the core players he had down there. He wants the same style of play, the same way of man management (seeming, I’m speculating a bit there) and a similar profile of player. I just don’t think that’s going to work here in the short term - his job is to get the best out of these players until he can shape it his way - and I think he’s been extremely naive firstly in taking the job, but once in the hot seat thinking it will be simply a copy and paste job.
He needs to learn and learn quickly, he’s got hardly any time to turn it around. If he’s not gone tomorrow he probably only has a game or two to save his skin. What was looking like the beginnings of a really promising career may be left in a pile of steaming turds in the next fortnight. Now we should see what he’s really made of.

Off the BBC website..
"The reaction of the fans is understandable because we've lost another game of football.
"I think they can see that the players gave 100%. In two key areas of the game we haven't been good enough. That's been a recurring theme throughout the whole season, not just lately and that's why we're in the position we're in.
"So we get it, all we ask is, we need to stick together because we're going to need their support for the next 12 games."
The reaction? Well the look of bemusement on some of the players faces at the end said it all
Gave 100%? Two key areas we havent been good? That'll be defence & attack then!
Stick together? All said & good but the atmosphere was sucked out of the travelling support the minute Cardiff scored, and what made it worse is that every single fan in the away end could see what was going to happen & what continued to happen for the rest of the game. Players not just devoid of confidence, but also devoid of an ability to play simple football.

People are going way OTT on this comment. He meant "we'll give everything we have to stay up" not some conspiracy to take us down. I'm on the fence on him staying, but come on. Taking every word he says and twist them isn't fair on anyone.

Wasn't it said that Coates wanted Jon Dahl Thomason at Blackburn but RM wanted Schuey, well Thomason is presently signing on and has more experience of this shite. talks of him as one of Favourite for Sweden job so could be an option. IMO

He needs 'backing not sacking', we've stumbled around in the dark for long enough. You want to keep a manager in his job after losing his last 7/8 games with us hurtling towards League 1 because he's the one you think would get us out of League 1 next season? Wouldn't you rather we didn't get relegated in the first place? Surely that's the plan first isn't it? However much of a shit show we were, we are a mich bigger shit show now that Schumacher is our manager, he simply has to be sacked, this idea of keeping him because he once got an upwardly mobile solid League 1 club promoted is fucking nuts. Anybody would think we were stranded at the bottom of the division when he walked through the door.

Taking every word he says and twist them isn't fair on anyone. I've got zero issue with the comment. If the players had half the fight he's got we wouldn't be in this mess. We do look like going down and he's right to say that we won't be going down without a fight. My only issue with SS is that he makes so many changes every game. That's going to cost us.

It’s not just the changes he’s making, it’s the tactics too. We are way too open, trying to play a system that worked for him at Plymouth but without the profile of player he had there. He’s not able to effectively manage this set of players to get them performing anywhere near their potential, I think that’s obvious (and if it isn’t, remind yourself we were not in a relegation battle when he joined us - so we have gotten worse). We have to get rid, as much as I wish we didn’t. If we don’t I think we’re toast

Handed this shower of shit and only had 13 games to resurrect things. What is anyone new going to achieve? If the right manager isn't readily available then we may as well get behind him because we could make things worse.

If the right manager isn't readily available then we may as well get behind him because we could make things worse. I want SS to succeed, but the focus on attacking football from the start of games is really costing us. We've looked much more solid in the 3-4-2-1, which was the same thing Gally tried when he was interim. So maybe a way forward is Gally for the rest of the season if JC wets himself and sacks SS. I really really doubt if it'll be any better, but at least he's pragmatic and stuck to a group of players. I do think SS is the man for L1 if we go down though. If we're stuck with a dour defensive manager we're set for a long spell down there.

That comment yesterday is on a par with Coates' what's all the fuss. We're done without even a whimper.
