Time to act?

[The Third Twin]

Only 9 points of the play offs.

with 1 point in the last 4 games, by the time we've got the 9 points, the playoffs will already have happened, and we will be in the Northern Premier.

What a load of crap. Just need a OXO report to confirm how bad we are.

Having got home and had a couple of deserved wee drams I am leaving my post until tomorrow I have made notes and trust me the post will cover not just the game but also the state we are in ( My opinion of course but honest.)

[kingofnaves]

Get to bed OXO. Looking forward to your report.

I have as you know been trying to get some positivity going on this forum,for Adam and the team.
But Adam keeps destroying it, probably is time for a new approach and voice at the helm.
I am sorry and no one will agree with me, but a return of that cheeky Essex boy might just be the tonic we need.

If that happens I'm gone.

It's time for change right now, in fairness AM looks like he is expecting the chop, he is a lost soul and it shows.
Cut Adam and Hawley free on Monday and put Maguire in charge, with Bunny on his shoulder, they couldn't do any worse.
At least Maguire has a bit of passion.

That's just a start Chubby ,  what needs to happen is the whole Mansfield Mob wants clearing out ,  a big drain on our finances and nothing but bench warmers in return .  Adam has looked after his pals to the cost of Chestnuts and results on the field .  He will leave us in a far bigger mess than Graham Drury did .

There is no other way of putting it about these results this season, we are clearly a lot lot worse off than last season when under Greene. Results are not lying, and with far tougher opposition to come in the league these few wins against lower ranked opposition and holding Darlo at home are just pasting over the cracks and leading some into a false perception.

One thing I have thought about recently was that I was personally slated and name called as a Greene apologist and a*se licker because I supported him, this abuse coming from fellow fans. Yet here I am now reading some comments and sensing an awful lot of irony from people telling us to keep supporting Murray, despite us having an even worse run of results than under his predecessor ! On that note are these people apologists or is it a clear case of double standards ? You just can't make this stuff up !!!

During Greene's latter part of his reign I stated that the time had come for him to leave as results were not good enough, now here we are having an even worse run of results which like it or not is the managers fault, nobody else's, and we are told 'give him time', or 'he knows what he's doing' yet who signed this team and provides the tactics for his men ? Many fans are now admitting that they have got it wrong over Murray, but there is this small group who will stubbornly keep backing Murray regardless of bad results.

Lets not keep ignoring the mediocrity, we are all better than this aren't we ?!! If we continue at this rate of form, we are in for the drop....fact !

I was constantly slated a Greene  apologist and at*e licker mainly because I insisted Greene had done a good job to get us into the top five two successive seasons and it would be difficult to find a manager to better that .   I like many did not like Greene as a person but that was no excuse to direct vitriol at a man doing a reasonably successful job and these people should hang their heads in shame .

It gives me no pleasure but some posters on here will recall that I predicted in private although AM had been given more tools to work with than any of his predecessors it would fail  to live up to his promises and fail . I like others on this thread have expressed my dissatisfaction with AM without directing  personal insults and vitriol at him .

So I like the above poster am miffed as to what has happened to the aggressive posters of the past , I ,m certain they still log on to Patter .  I think they would feel better if they summed up enough pride to come on and express regret for their vile comments and take the opportunity to express if they think the new manager has worked out as they planned .

Love or hate Dennis he knew what non league was about..

Listening to AM on the radio 📻 I think he will jump rather than get the push, he sounded like a broken man. If he does go who will replace him? This is a question that was asked a lot when the last manager was on his last legs with little response, I’ll start Steve Thompson till the end of the season.

[Artemis]

Get Greene back , tell him to keep off social media give him a few months to sort it out like he did with Drurys team

Unfortunately DG had other things on his mind in the months prior to his departure which didn't help him.

But as other have said he was by far the best manager we have had since shorty and shouty and I have no doubt he would still have been manager had his personal life hadn't affected BUFC.

Thommo now seems to be Lincoln City through and through, there must be other "non-league" managers out there looking for a position.

I thought DG's interactions on social media were appalling and left Newton no where to go but get rid , but his record as a manager is as good as anyone's . If he concentrated on the job in hand I would welcome him back and I think he would turn it round , he knows the club so he would have a head start and he knows players around the area not just Mansfield . Desperate times call for desperate measures and things are getting desperate . People welcomed fatty back when what he did to the club were far far worse

Get to bed OXO. Looking forward to your report.

I have submitted a long post on the fans facebook site so I will just give a summary here.The result and the goals are reported elsewhere so won't bother wasting time talking about them. Tactics are worth a mention, Shimanga up front alone marked by two 7ft giants towering over him must have thought it was a night match without lights not only that it was the usual lofted ball up to him, laughable. Thomas the only first half bright spark had the full back terrified (which led to our goal) but was moved to the left for the second half. Genius.
Watched as Smith prepared to come on and was shown something on a clipboard and had it explained to him, this took a couple of minutes which I found laughable as surely it just said "Get your arse in the box and create something" Not just that but these instructions were being given by, you guessed it, the goalkeeping coach.
Now this may sound strange but the players gave it their all, 100% effort the problem is the majority of them have little footballing skills or don't have a plan to play to, (I suspect the former) I leave one player out of this Jan Yeomans who scandalously is only on a six months contract and who the manager wanted to go out on loan, but he refused saying he would stay and scrap for his place, now first name on the team sheet, oh for that kind of attitude from some of the others.
Not a single shot on or off target all game says it all really. I have given Adam my backing from day one and said I will not comment on him until a dozen games in, well that time is now.I think it was a mistake to move the training so far away from Boston many of the players have no affinity with the Town and the club, they have signed for a local team to them who happen to play half their games in Boston. It needs players who are willing to put themselves out to play for BOSTON UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB as has always been the case, too many players still seem like strangers to me, and on the field to each other.
It was said yesterday the players are letting the manager down, well he employed them and such failure to judge your work force will inevitably lead to the powers that be of any organisation questioning such judgement and acting on it in some way. I fear to carry on with no cohesion will inevitably lead to relegation unless some positive action is taken.  UTP.

Thanks oxo, you've hit the nail on the head with that summarisation, it's now time for both DN and AM to look at where the club is now and decide what is best for
the future.   Let's hope something happens soon.

[Shrimperpilgrim]

I've always said the guy is a joker he has wasted valuable resources, came out with interviews claiming players will be world beaters upon signing them.
Said we will be challenging time and time again.
Changed almost everything at the club even the dugouts.
Served up the most turgid brand of football with no direction or pattern of play.
He wanted his team and he's got it.
Loads of mates draining the life out the club.
Crowds are dwindling not surprising at what they have to watch each week.
His excuses are running out it's just not good enough and frankly never has been since he has been in charge.
Local people work hard in this area on low wages and look forward to cheering the lads on when we are at home the club is important to the local community so it's a must that the team entertain and we are dull at best.
Results in the cup have only gained Murray time the reality is they are way below the level we should be at come on wake up and let's compete in this league before it will be too late.
Change is needed now.
