Can’t hack seeing people say to get rid of him for dobbie, fair enough he probably should go but for the love of god not for dobbie, if anybody watched any of our youth teams they’d know eardley is the better coach of the 2 of them and we should be looking for a far better candidate than both if we are serious as fans who want to go up next year.

Not sure how you can say that with how good we played when he came in at the end of the season and actually gave it a good go. If we were to get rid of Critchley (we won't), I'd happilly have Dobbie in till the end of the season as there's nothing to lose, we're not making playoffs are we, and then at the end of the season re-assess things and decide on who to bring in, which could well be Dobbie IF results and performances were good enough.
 
It doesn’t matter this season anymore. Dobbie would get us 5/6 pts to stay up. Use the time to bring in someone ready to go through the squad in summer

Chris Beech a name to keep your eye on.

Fylde looked dead and buried at Christmas when he took over down at the bottom miles adrift and now 9 games unbeaten now and a 0-5 romp tonight.

He did well in a team that was already relegated under no pressure and no expectations. Look how well Rooney was doing for Derby when they went down and he had no expectations on him and then look how shit he is when he does have targets to aim for. On top of that we will be considered one of the bigger teams in the league pushing promotion and our fans won’t give him the time if he doesn’t hit the ground running so it’s way too big a risk, people complain of the club having no ambition and to go get dobbie would be exactly that, it’s the lazy option

Not sure I quite get the logic here. You're saying Dobbie wouldn't be a good manager, because Rooney wasn't, and therefore you know for a fact Dobbie wouldn't? For every Rooney there's a Rosenior, McKenna, Manning etc. Every manager has to start somewhere. If he came in again on an interim basis and succeeded, how can you not give him a chance for the role fulltime? I disagree on fans not giving him time either, I think fans would be more willing to give him time as he's an ex player. Any managerial appointment is a risk.

Hang on a minute, what was Critchley doing before we took him on first time? A youth coach.

Utter bollocks. He will get a lot of time from our fans with him being a club legend

Fully agree. The numpties shouting give it Dobbie as if he’s proven in any way whatsoever is just painful to witness. Personally think Simon should hold his nerve and say Critchley has got next season but things must improve.

As the one poster that does watch the Dev Squad and the U18s I'd debate that with you but not tonight because like everyone else I'm rather p1ssed off.
Whilst we're on the subject though the Dev Squad are supposed to be playing tomorrow. The Club have been very quiet about the fixture but I understand the game will be played at Common Edge Rd at 1pm.

I reckon the development squad would have created more chances than we did tonight.

Dobbie won 3 from six of his Championship matches. Results speak for themselves.

Unfortunately apart from the deflected shot that went in against Forest in the play off second leg my nightmare memory of him is of that sitter he fluffed against West Ham at Wembley.
 
The one thing I don’t agree with is giving it him until the end of the season. Sack Critchley now and either give the job to Dobbie on a 2 year contract if the board believe in him or bring someone else in permanently. Giving it someone until the end of the season just writes off this season and leaves us spending the first couple of months of the summer searching for a manager like we did last summer

We were not relegated at the point he took over.
He got the team of misfits playing for pride and had a massive injury list to contend with.He also moved Rogers from winger to forward and that was a great move for the lad

What did dobbie actually do? Win a couple of games at the end of a relegation season? Do people think someone like dobbie is more ambitious than a manager that’s taken us up before? 😂

Did you watch the games?
Nearly beat Luton at Luton who are now in Prem,lack of height did for us but thatwas not Dobbies fault.
Played with pride in spite of half the team unavailable
 
I was thinking Pete Wild at Barrow, until I read these comments after their home defeat to Forest Green Rovers last night:

"Barrow really poor tonight what was Pete Wild doing dropping Campbell & Spence, poor second half of season so far something Wilds sides do, he will never manager above league 2 too defensive and no plan B, can see Barrow missing out on a play-off place".

"Barra need to start taking the opposition on instead of trying to pass their way through the midfield and defence, all too often it is 6 square passes, 4 forward passes and then 2 passes back to the halfway line or back to the keeper. Wasted opportunity tonight".

Any of that sound familiar?

I went to the home ones. We lost 3-1 to Luton and the games we won were by one goal… we can say we should have beaten Charlton and Stevenage and Oxford by that logic. Where would that 7 points put us? Playing for pride is nice but 6 games means very little. Here we still have enough games to make playoffs. Critch it is.

Six games (losing half of them)with nothing to play for is a lot different to a an actual season, if we followed the average points earned under Dobbie we'd have one more point than now.

Only we were in a higher and much tougher division with a thoroughly demoralised group of players.
 
If it’s on an interim basis I wouldn’t mind, but whoever comes in next has to be a completely new face.

No former ties to the club, someone who will put their stamp on things.
 
Dobbie would be infinitely better than Critchley.
And he’s already here, and knows the players. Could slot straight in. We might even make the play-offs.

Btw. I haven’t been wrong about a manager since Tony Parkes.
