Don’t give him the managers job if it means he’ll end up leaving. Hoping he saw Schofield promoted too soon and then talented staff leave the club You’re doing a great job JW but let’s hire experience and give JW time to develop further Conceding 5 goals in 45 mins is not ‘great job’ to me. Considering who we were playing it's a shitload better than letting in 4 to shite like Birmingham and Cardiff. Plus we're only the 3rd away team to score 3 there and the other 2 did it when Soton were learning Martins "style" |

See how we get on this week. 4-6 points from these two home games and I have no issue with Worthy caretaking til the end of the season. As long as it doesn’t jeopardise his academy role.
Would put us in a great position to survive this season and means we can get the right appointment in the summer.
I worry it’s taking so long because they’re trying to find the right guy for the short term AND long term.
We might already have the guy for the short term… think we’ll find out this week in two tough but winnable home games (if he’s in charge).

I would have said no after the first hour of the Sheffield Wednesday game but we were a revelation yesterday and JW has to take much of the credit for that. That was more like the Terrier spirit I expect to see when a Town team take to the field, aggressive and on the front foot, and I don’t believe it was a flash in the pan. Yes we tired on the 80th minute mark but they were bringing players on who would walk into most teams in the Championship whereas our subs wouldn’t. If he can get us playing like that every game, we’ll survive no problem and then Jon can go back to doing the job he’s said he wants to continue to do and we can get the guy in to do the singular job of moving us forward. |

Totally agree, he would be great for another few weeks if he keeps on getting good performances and results out of our squad. However I wouldn't want him for more than a few weeks because the naivety would well kick on and cost us so I wouldn't do until the end of the season unless he were to keep getting plenty points in the next few games. But him doing well gives us time to get the right man which is a luxury we don't see much these days |

Agree with all the most recent posts.
I remember only once before seeing us concede 5 and being proud of the part we played in a great match - the 5-2 'Christmas gifts' loss at Newcastle in 1983, against Beardsley, Waddle and a guy who later, as a manager, came to embody the 'we'll score one more than you' approach, followed by his rookie disciple at Town in 2009-10 (just that one season, sadly) and by another rookie yesterday. Naive, maybe; entertaining, definitely. Successful, only at other clubs - Keegan at Newcastle and Man City and Old Aqualung up the road and a few others. Imagine if every team played like that; football could genuinely call itself an entertainment industry.

Imagine if every team played like that; football could genuinely call itself an entertainment industry. Was thinking exactly the same this morning, was at yesterdays game and the Newcastle one and on both occasions we contributed to 2 amazing games of football and IMO deserved something out of both of them. The only thing that tarnished the Newcastle game was being bricked before and after the game by the Geordie scum, but then it was the 80's I suppose  . Hated them ever since though. |

One thing Worthington is doing currently is buying this not very united board more time to appoint their next manager.

The absolute last thing we should do is officially give it Worthington until the end of the season.
Personally I think we should be aiming to get a permanent manager as soon as possible, but even to those thinking that Worthington could do a job until the summer, why make it official? If we do that and it starts to go wrong, we then have to 'sack' him, even if he moves back into his old job afterwards. Keeping him as interim gives you the option to move for a permanent manager earlier if things aren't working out.
Like I say, I think given our permission we need somebody more experienced, but amazed there are so many (more on Twitter than on here to be fair) who are saying we should give him the job for the rest of the season.

It's the same every time we have a caretaker manager. See Pelach last season, Hudson in 2019, Lillis in 2013 and 2014, Gerry Murphy in 2008. Suppose it makes a change from fans wanting XYZ ex player back as manager, it used to be Darren Bullock but these days it's Michael Hefele. |

I like the way he has set us up for the past matches. Very positive approach and seems to know the strengths of the players really well.
The longer this managerial hunt goes on, the more I’m finding myself saying if the right guy isn’t standing out then keep worthy on as manager until the end of the season. I really don’t want a mediocre name who will spend weeks titting about with formations and systems and experimenting with players who all town fans know won’t be able to play in certain positions etc (like Moore did).

Suppose it makes a change from fans wanting XYZ ex player back as manager, it used to be Darren Bullock but these days it's Michael Hefele. My only concern (and plenty of others have been saying the same) is that there are 2 jobs to do and 2 very different ones. Because Moore left us in a mess, first and foremost we need guaranteed safety into next season. The job after that is to build towards a tilt at promotion again. 2 different briefs, 2 different managers? I don’t know. I’m not one for caretaker managers beyond 2/3 games but was yesterday not our best performance of the season? I’d say it was despite losing the game. We were exciting to watch for a start and the Southampton commentary team (I think one of them was Francis Benali) were very complimentary about us, there have only been ourselves & WBA that have impressed there this season and both said we would stay up no problem based on that performance. JW has said he doesn’t want the job permanently and none of us want another Danny Schofield situation but would he take it until we were at least safe? He bleeds blue & white and the fans are behind him. We’re obviously not in a hurry to appoint a new permanent manager and reading between the lines, perhaps the Board are split on who they want? As many questions as answers here but food for thought. I’m glad now it’s not me making the big decisions because this is a very big one. |

As long as he keeps getting results I would keep him until the end of the season. Avoiding relegation is the priority.

How do you that? I was trying the other day! Seriously!!! Lol Put [ b ] (with no spaces between the characters) before the text you wish to embolden. Then do the same again straight after your passage of text - but put a / immediately before the second ‘b’. You can use the same method to create italics by using the lower case letter i in the same way. Or kayeb222 could highlight the word/phrase they want and press CTRL-B (bold) or CTRL-I (italic) Don't know how to do that on a smartphone though, can't stand the format of DATM on the phone so rarely log on that way. |

I tend see those 1979-80 players as Rob Stewart's territory, to be honest. Though I did speak to Peter Hart, but that was more about the famous youth team anything. |
