He cant as he is on his post round that dayPat from the family zone should lead the team out if slade does leave before the final. More of a fan than most and gives so much back to the future fans of ccfc

One Flew Over the Wasp's Nest?I think it's only a matter of time before coventry city has Hollywood calling to make a Oscar winning film about the sisu years.

Not sure I agree. RCC/Burge, DKE, Haynes and Willis have all played out of necessity rather than a conscious choice from RS, while K Thomas has literally never been fit and available to any other manager. The only one he has favoured over other managers is G Thomas.
Even that can be balanced against his dislike of other youngsters such as Bigi and Stevenson, who are definitely better than Rose, or Ruben who at least offers something from the bench.
Guessing the lad cant adapt to slades made up "left/right wing back centre half " position ,must be confusingHe has used Lameries off the bench and he's been useless every time he has come on.

Winning against Bury should make no difference unless there's an unbelievable and unlikely winning run. We have to prepare for division 4 and with upto 10 players to replace we need someone for now and the future and that ain't Russell Slade !
Don't think people are particularly saying he will be any good just that he's the likely / cheap option.Ricketts wasn't a good leader as captain why do people think he would make a good manager?

Totally agree with this. We're gone. Get someone else now to start sculpting a squad ahead of L2...use only players who are going to be here next season, even if that means the U23s. Stop playing anyone not going to be here and start working on getting players in so that they're here on 1st July and can get a full pre-season in. Let's not be slow of the marks with this one...our best chance of a quick bounce back to L1 is to get someone in now with that remit.
We've also got our biggest day out in 30 years coming up. Lets give ourselves a better chance by having someone else in at the helm for that game. Oxford/Luton must be licking their lips...
But has he been more useless than who he replaced? I'm not lameiries biggest fan but I think his technical ability and style don't sit easy in L1 and certainly not in slades approach to football.
I never get bringing on a player for 10mins here and 5mins there...unless you are defending a narrow lead and need a bruiser of a centre half or need a quick goal and bring on an out and out striker (not overweight, unfit, has beens). People saying on Saturday that Reid didn't contribute but he was only on the pitch for a few mins and we were 3-0 down. Game was over...too late for him to get involved...too late for him to have any impact.
The only time slades substitutions worked was in the checkatrade semi when after akinfenwa scored he bought on finch to do a specific job....but he was on for a decent length of time.

If you are only going to play people here next season then we'd get slaughtered at Wembley
If you took out those who aren't going to be here next season, you'd be forced to play more youngsters.
I'd hazard a guess that they'd give more of a shit and play for the badge, a lot more than some of the current 1st team.

. Slade would manage a pub if the money was good enough.
That's why everyone was yelling to play Kelly Evans who isn't good enough. Also no doubt it would mean Jack Finch and youth players who are nowhere near first team levels.
Hardly away to boost young players confidence - go out and get slaughtered every week.
Do these players care any more anyway - doubt it. Reilly was easily the most energetic and committed player Saturday and he's not going to be here.
Yeah, I get that, but not everyone who plays in the U23s is DKE height/weight. I know it's only one game but the one game I've seen of DKE is Wycombe and I thought he had a good game. Reminded me of a younger me, although I'm pastey white...
In terms of their confidence, we've got what, 13 games left...we're getting dicked anyway and the line up keeps changing. Lets start with the bedrock of our squad for next season...clean slate, tell them to go out and enjoy themselves for 13 games, play without pressure and we'd have a unit of players who'd know each other better after those 13 games. At least then a new manager would have a base from which to build around/work with.
They'd certainly give more of a sh*t than any loan player...
With this team we're likely to be slaughtered by either Luton or Oxford.If you are only going to play people here next season then we'd get slaughtered at Wembley

I do take your point about blooding the kids but how many seasons have we said to do this now..... to many years to count.
Plus most of these kids have been involved most the season and played a fair amount each.
But they've been playing with loans/freebies interwoven. All I'm saying is that Slade should go and whoever comes in, needs to start building for L2 and an instant return to L1. In my opinion, rightly or wrongly, I'd do that with the players who are going to be here next season even if that means promoting more from the youth team.
If I was also a manager, I'd be looking at our recruitment for the summer, now, and not when the window opens.
All about opinions, I get that.
You can't just blood kids this is a tough uncompromising league full of tough guys it could pot youngsters who are not ready back a year or more should anyone come in or if Slade stays they are stuck with what we have unfortunately.
I used to have a key that unlocked the snooker table ...when we got bored of playing free snooker we had a couple of free beersWho wouldn't manage a pub if the money was good enough? You'd have the key to unlock the pool table, it's the dream job.
