    They'll lose against Burnley and Wednesday too.
    Only Rotherham at home will see them getting any points this side of Burton in March. They have a shocking set of fixtures in February.
    He'll probably be gone by then though.

    I'm genuinely sorry for the guy. He went to his spiritual home (well he thought it was) and you can't blame him. Plus he saved us paying compensation to sack him, so good on him.

    Shame that he's not big enough to handle a major job. I can see him helping out Dad at Whaddon Road before the end of the season. Give the Cheltenham lads the benefit of his experience.

    Leave the lad alone, he's doing a great job. Can't see him lasting much longer mindst.

    Eight league defeats on the trot and, what is arguably even a little worse, 11 defeats in the last 12. If he doesn't lose his job this time, he must be one of the luckiest managers of all time.

    It would be harsh to sack a manager in the middle of a record breaking run :)

    For once I agree with Biggs. Well partially the not sacking bit. Not sure I agree with his reasoning though :)

    all he he needs to do is sign a Hammill and Fletcher (he's already got the Brownhill) and be forced to change the formation and the results are bound to change

    Has this ever happened before?

    Manager achieving 8 straight league defeats with 2 clubs in consecutive seasons? What a manager.....

    Once his luck has run out and he's finally sacked, I'll be happy and won't mention him again.
