Last 4 home league games, drew 3 lost 1 - scored a single goal- some of those games our shots on target statistics were embarrassing. We haven't won a league game at home since we were knoced out of the FA cup by a lower non-league side. Yesterday sounded good but I think hr's a long way off getting a statue like Jimmy Hill.

Common ground at last. A dedicated pen taker and I might add getting throw ins taken quickly and with purpose would seem a simple coaching tactic.

And this is the problem that I have with him. He gets so many of the basics wrong. And he is too slow to either learn or do something about it.
How about making the wrong subs, at the wrong time or even both?
Keeping up with systems that don't work.
Continually playing players out of position.
Bringing in the wrong players continually.
This is just a few. We play tippy tappy in the middle of the park. We fail to get shots on target all game then he tells us that we were unlucky to lose. This gets to me. Makes him look deluded. When everything that is going on at our club the one chance of sanity would be our manager. We have not had that since we lost Robins. Now Scunny have him. They have gone from relegation certainties to maybe even going for a run to the playoffs. 4 wins and 2 draws in the league in their last 6 games. Not bad considering they have only won 7 games all season. Still in the FA Cup. They may be two points behind us still....even after their recent results, but they have 3 games in hand. This is what a decent manager can do in this poor division. He took over a poor club in a poor division. No money. No decent players. Very low budget. But we should give SP even longer?

As ajsccfc has stated...Nobody actively wants Pressley to fail. We all would love to have seen him bring success to the Club, but, The guy has zero tactical ability, zero man management skills, and thinks a sub is something that comes with Tuna, Mayo, and sweetcorn. As for passion, there's only been 3 managers that I would say had true passion for CCFC. Jimmy Hill, John Sillett, and believe it or not Gordon Strachan. Getting back to SP. His record speaks for itself, it's absolutely dire!

Lets just remember Robins was doing well at the time he was poached from us but then after a honeymoon period at Huddersfield he failed badly and couldn't buy a win and got sacked.
The point is we all think we can do better and of course we will nit pick various aspects of a managers coaching as we see it.
The reality though is based on results. I don't care how we do it if we win.
Time must be given to any manager to have bad spells of results and to come through them. had Huddersfield waited I'm sure they would have seen Robins improve matters again.
SP needs this season to get the first team looking like they can get a promotion team together and continue to work within the clubs structure and bring on the academy among many other things for the long term future of the football club.

We are hovering above the League 1 relegation zone. Is that where you think this squad should be, or should it be doing better?

You're wrong because it is a shite league and still look where we are.
The reality is we are shit with a shit manager, if you think things are 'ok' after that tonight then can I suggest you rub your eyes.

He needs to go.
He doesn't have the experience and CCFC shouldn't be a training college.
Tactical experiments should be done with the reserves, player spats left private, transfers with an eye on the future and squad morale.
He needs to go.
Sorry, best of luck SP, hope you get a coaching role for a top Prem Team and get back into management when you are ready.

Exactly, people keep going on about Time. We don't have time, we didn't when Thorn was in charge and we don't now!

Over a sustained period now the players have underperformed and as a collective team they are worth less than the sum of the individual parts which, in my opinion usually means the manager is to blame. The fact that he said after the game on CWR that we had the players to beat Swindon tells me it's time for those running the club to consider his position.

I feel with a manager if they have had a season prior that has been affected by external factors. Then the following season you should give them to at least January......
Well its January I have has enough sorry

I would get rid of him solely on the basis of his after match comments. If he saw lots of positives in that and believes that we had the players out there tonight that could beat Swindon - he needs to be sectioned!
It was utterly shocking tonight. Missus had the Sky coverage on her phone. (It's about a minute behind so handy for replays.) Our first half possession was just 25%. Swindon ran us ragged tonight and barely broke sweat. I kept hearing the phrase 'men against boys'.
I feel our only chance is to get someone else in to get more out of this squad. They were a shambles and a disgrace to the shirt. OK, Swindon were a superior team but we could have made it a bit harder for them.

In case you haven't noticed, anyone from the academy who is 'brought on', and has an ounce of talent, is sold off at the end of the season, and the money is not reinvested in the team. So what is the point in waiting for that?
