    Look at Devaney's stats during his 2 occasions as caretaker manager/coach.

    and he's still at the club.

    They lined up the cheap option as a fail safe if Clarke didn't hit targets but didn't bank on the fan favourite being worse.

    To be fair, nobody should have been expecting an upturn in performances, following losing one of the coaching staff and making someone who is still in his first season as a coach the head coach.

    But should they have expected a massive downturn in results?

    I hope season ticket sales are down massively given what these morons have tried to do again. To be fair it looks like it's backfiring big time.

    Yes. Putting a novice in charge will likely do exactly that. If it didn't, what would it say about football coaching?

    The funny thing is they deliberately timed it with 4 ‘easy’ fixtures & they’ve still not got a win.

    I know it's his first season as a full time coach but have you seen any improvements on the field or involving set pieces this season?

    As are the coaches and the majority of the hierarchy.

    I also said last week that I didn't expect much if anything to change, after Clarke's sacking, in these final 10 games.
    But I did hope for that so called bounce, and maybe a few wins considering the opposition we were playing.
    Rather than it be just the little steps of improvement here and there, that we've shown.
    Which is admittedly not good enough, although todays game doesn't really matter as we were always onto the possibility of a hiding. And that's even if we'd had 15 men on the pitch!.
