I'd leave him in place until it's mathematically confirmed we're down. No point a new manager having our relegation on his cv; the way it's going any new manager will still have over a month of the season to assess the current squad.
Only question for me is if we're down by the cup final should Slade be allowed to lead us out?

Overall, Woeful.
Whilst the second half looked better when we actually played players in roles they know (bar Vernam) it's clear we are beyond help.
Slade isn't the man to take us forward. Move on now and bring someone in who will be ready for the fight in league two, which at this rate will be a fight for survival and not much more.
Very disillusioned right now, but I'll keep going. Some might say that is part of the problem, but it's like an addiction!

No he shouldn't lead us out
He's a disgrace to the badge
Leicester did the unimaginable and won last night

i would get george curtis and jon sillet to lead us out, ( assuming they are both fit and able) and ban fisher and slade from setting foot in wembley

The standard of the league is lower than last year, without doubt.
If we'd have had last years team now...

Slade sounds like he's about to burst into tears.
It's not even funny really.

Slade:
Ahem, I've just said over there in the first period our purpose wasn't great
Again we make errors at the back and they've buried the opportunities
Second period it all changed
More intensity
Not about shapes or systems
We did change it, injected life and managed to get back into it and unfortunate not to get more
More urgency. Intent to get forward. Cause them problems
Smart goal for us but couldn't build on it
We've done that (wing back) 3/4 times and haven't won
Changed to it tonight and it was effective
Have to be effective for 95 mins
From day 1 not dominated and taken chances
Mental attitude; there had to be a reaction being 2-0 down in an important game
Had to take game to them and we did (2nd half)
Don't think momentum dropped after our goal
Reilly had a great chance forcing the keeper into a save
We're on top
Little bit of panic on their bench
Too much of a mountain to climb
Tried different shapes and systems and matched fleetwood, Bolton, matched others away from home
Looked better as we imposed ourselves better
Can't see it like it's (a foregone conclusion)
Got to protect it, work hard

It is truly shocking. I keep looking at the league table and shaking my head.

If tonight couldn't get any worse, after squatting at the gym yesterday I can barely move off the loo.
Now I'm marooned here being forced to listen to Graham Torrington playing Roy Orbison - 'You Got It'.

Even his interview is clueless - 'not about shapes and systems'.
WHAT?! You are a professional football manager; part of your job is literally to pick the right shape and system.
I'm sure he a nice bloke, and a feel sorry for him, but he's in the wrong job and needs to go now.

That's why going to the gym is for fools.
As soon as I got past that annoying initial few months of having to impress the girlfriend when topless, I got comfortable and reverted my weekends back to drinking ale and eating chocolate!

I must confess I have never ever been to a gym.
Was tempted one time to go in one in town on one occasion, but that was only because I needed change for the car park.

For sure mowbray would have kept us up, it would have still been a disappointing season but we wouldn't be nosediving into l2
You're lucky, we're driving home after watching that shit and the fucking M6 is closed. Marvellous

The game sums the whole season up really. You can see why we are always a soft touch away from home.
The first half was just a surrender. We offered no goal threat at all. I think someone posted about thanking Mowbray for signing Kwame Thomas. God knows why. He was a gangly useless leader of the line.
The games at this level are physical. We just lacked that totally.
People can bitch about managers all they like. The truth is none of them addressed the key issue of goals and pace with purpose. With Mowbray and Venus people can delude themselves all they like but weak midfield and possession without threat lost games. Tonight we were again just physically outfought and lost.
None of the players emerged with any credit at all.
