I'd agree completely if we'd been playing like that with Holdsworth, Ellis, Lynch and McDonnell in the team.

But yesterday was about lack of leadership and direction. And that was all sitting in the stands. That doesn't make the performance acceptable - it wasn't and I've said in an earlier post that I don't think Gentle has adapted very well to those injuries - but the fact is we're down our 4 best players.

I'm not for accepting mediocrity any more than you are (I've suffered through the Lloyd and then the Agar years) and I've no issue with fans or AP being p***** off (I know I am) - all I am saying is that we (fans and AP) should balance our recent poor form with those key players missing against our overall good form whilst Gentle's been here and give the guy a bit more time and support.

If we're going to ditch our coach every time we string two or three poor performances together then we'll get nowhere.

If we're still performing like this in 4 or 5 weeks then I'll agree with you.

spot on .if gentle got sacked players will say it was their fault.and it will be no passion and lack of effort

It is rare that you have the opportunity to read such childish drivel by someone who obviously has little grasp of the game and the transfer market. I DO blame Rule/Agar for leaving the club so lacking in resources, a position which the current regime have to deal with.
I would like to know what this person thinks the dismissal of Peter Gentle would actually achieve ?
Pathetic

Spot on -

...and now he is a tactical genius !

I seriously doubt another coach could do any better with the players we currently have available. Unless we can find a new coach who can bring a couple of half backs with him, I think we should stick with Gentle, at least until the end of the season.
