I think we have a squad who, if properly managed could be doing that now. Powell is/was the comedy appointment of the season. Hartlepool would not have considered him for God's sake! If he stays we will end up where Charlton were.

i personally wouldn't sack him yet, he has to work his magic in this january transfer window and bring consistency to the squad need 3/4 good players imo, or we will be in a relegation scrap again

How many games would you give them to get to mid table ?

But to sack managers before they have had chance to buy a player ? What is the game coming to ? Powell has done ok... Not great but ok.... I'm seething but I refuse to blame Powell for that .... I certainly laid the blame at his door for the Brum game so I ain't t no asslick

There's nowt wrong with Powell - He was the best thing since sliced bread today for 88 minutes, until the joint worst defence in the entire division let him down yet again.

Mark Lillis hasn't proved he could do it over a sustained period and more importantly I wouldn't want his affinity with the club soured, which it inevitably would, as the intolerant and in some cases nasty fans turn on him.

I don't have any problems with CP being our manager and you can only judge the man when he has bought in his own players, because some of the present squad are way short of what we need and some fans seem to think it's as easy has Dean Hoyle to get his cheque book out.

I would never have had him here in the first place when we had a better chap at the helm in Mark Lillis. Powell's last 4 games have picked up 4 points and that's enough to sack him. Lillis in his 4 league games picked up 4 points and that makes him a 'better chap'.

Powell didn't let their left back have an age to pick out a cross on 88 mins where if we had stopped him we would in all likelihood seen the game out.
Same goes with our shocking choices in the final third of the pitch in the 2nd half - countless breaks with no end product.
Powell has to take the blame at some point and his negative tactics are frustrating as hell but players have to take responsibility and today the blame lays squarely at their feet for chucking two points away.

Based on your desire to see him sacked? When we beat forest and had the 7 game unbeaten run, you didn't post anything at all. After a few bad results your buzzing round this forum with your poisenous posts.

We were lucky to go 1 up, good move (well played indeed Tommy Smith, good ball by Scannell) but we'd been asking for trouble all first half with the space we allowed on each wing. Robinson had no help at all first half. Second half we did well - We addressed the issue down the left, we looked more in control until we sat deeper and deeper with 15 minutes to go, they'd lost all hope yet we decided to create a problem by sitting deep. Scannell was banned from going forwards and became a right back. Why not continue to play the game that's got you 2-0 up in the first place - its inviting trouble, yet he didn't address it, we just got deeper and deeper and deeper. Yes we didn't conceded until 88 minutes, but what happened after 88 minutes could have happened after 76.
Someone said we let the left back have too much space after 88 minutes - sorry but that had happened about 6/7 times before but we got away with winning the header or a poor cross.
Then we got even deeper - To have both Scannell and Wells back marking at 2-1 on a set piece was madness - were they ever going to win the header? No.
Would they have caused more problems attacking the second ball on half way - even if just to slow down the second phase of Rotherham possession? Yes
By bringing everyone back we invited Rotherham onto us and guess what we lost the second ball - we had nobody to compete with it and got sucked in. Yes it was deflected but we caused that problem ourselves by sitting so deep.
The negativity cost us. What do we do at 2-2, become even more negative and bring another defender on and go 631?! I'm sure he'll suggest it was 433 somewhere, but it was 631 and kick it and hope Wells can beat 6 men on his own (a bit like what Holt was supposed to do last week).
Ever decision negative, every decision backwards,
And don't get me started on Grant Holt's injury - he's off the field with what looked like a serious injury. What does Hope-Less Powell do. Nothing. We play with 10 men for 2 minutes whilst he has treatment, they should have scored at the back stick. Then we decide to warm a few players up. Holt stumbles around for 2 minutes, our subs sit back down and Holt continues to be a passenger for 2 more minutes before he does the inevitable and goes down the tunnel. We still don't have a sub ready - it was so dreadful it was almost laughable. Are we a professional football team or the Dog and Duck?
I may as well continue - the manager is giving his team talk, 5-10 mins to kick off and we have 4 of our subs - dumb and dumber, Lolley and Allinson out kicking it as high as they can on the pitch. Why aren't they in the dressing room listening to the last words of instruction?
Utterly useless.
Powell's making Robins look like Mourinho at the minute, 5 wins in 17 games is relegation form.
Furious doesn't cover it - Do I trust this man to get it right? Not at all. He's signed or sanctioned the signings of 4 players so far - hardly the case he's had no input on players in.
Yes I'm annoyed.
