If he was sacked it would be purely a gamble that the new manager would lift the club and get some points.
It's a gamble.
Yet if we had this form for the first ten games of a new season it would be prob nailed on.
Do we stick with him and potentially risk the same stuff next season?
We have a track record of employing managers with only league one credentials, thing is, can we attract a better class?

Powell was sacked by Charlton for a reason. He certainly has not got the best out of certain players , and has the skill of not recognising shite when he see's it. Even worse is the fact that he continues to play this same defensive shite week in week out, and that is even more worrying . I want to go into next season knowing that the club has a manager who can take this club forward , and don't have to rely on other clubs failings to survive at this level.

Powell is scared of losing hence the defensive play but even more scared of risking it and going for the win

I have just been in the coop. They say that Wigan are going to win their last 7 games - CP told them.

Got to wonder how deans 6 week recruitment process keeps producing fucking shite managers.... maybe he should just go with someone who's actually good. or maybe just put all the names in a hat and pull one out, that surely would be more successful than our current process... or did we use ross wilsons stats.

What a an absolutely pathetic diabolical result. A non league team would have beaten Fulham. Don't give me we played well, our final balls into the box our style of play everything is shocking and mostly dull. We are the worst we've been since we returned to the championship. Unless there's a huge turnaround in results which sees us win at least 4 of our remaining games, Powell absolutely must go. If not I can see a situation where we are looking for a new manager in August. Can't help but think he's not the right man to take us into the summer and undertake the rebuilding of the first team. He seems tactically inept in most situations Change must also occur if the gap to relegation lessens after either of our next two games. What a miserable season it has been Our style of play is too restricted for me. I don't think we are an out and out long ball side, although we do play too many high balls for my liking, but we have little fluidity and don't take chances. When we are in possession, even when we have the ball on the deck, we don't move or take chances. Everyone seems to stick to their positions and rarely leave them to support the ball carrier or do something different. There is little creativity at times and we don't seem to be a team who ever play 'off the cuff'. We often look like the team shape is more important than creative play. This was painfully obvious against 10 men, particularly in the last five mins when out sole tactic was to give the ball to Lynch and for him to pump the ball in high.

When we were awarded the second penalty, I turned to my mate and said 'Wells shouldn't take this- I'd let miller take it and just blast it'. And how Coady wasn't taken off I'll never know. He lost the ball because he was too slow, which led to their goal. I asked before the last three games what the 'three wise men' would do if we only got 3 points from them - we've actually only got 2, and so I wonder what they'll do?

Results will improve. Runs like this happen with a mediocre team like Town and it would be silly to make a decision just based on recent form. Is 35 games enough to judge him though? A win percentage of 28% isn't good enough and has to improve. And there are other issues: tactics, overly cautious etc. I'm not convinced.
The issue with replacing a manager now though is that we are effectively looking for Ross Wilson's replacement at the moment – and surely he'd have considerable input in the hiring of a new manager.

OP. How the hell were we too defensive today? Their keeper had an absolute fkin blinder. Smith trying to raid down the wing, When Lolly was on the bench?[/b] If we still had Dixon then Smith playing out of position wouldnt happen its strength in depth we lack at this level and we are now being punished for it( and Butterfield too wide and out of his more productive central position)........ For next season we need to sign 2 left/full backs and 2 more Centre backs (Gerrard and Wallace not good enough and Hudsons legs gone). That would sort the defence out then we need competition for places up front and in midfield. CP simply doesnt know his best 11 never mind the 'system' or the best defensive shape to get the max out of the team..... Edgar Carroll and wallace 3 of the poorest defenders ever to grace the Championship, things really are a-miss when these 3(who should take up another profession) are at HTFC

Have we really got anything to lose by sacking him and appointing a youg emerging manager ? The tactics Powell plays ar absoloutely soul destroying and he seems to bein the mindset of the whole club that just about avoiding relegation is the absoloute best the club can / should be aiming for.
Love to see the club take a punt on Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. It may come off it may not, but at least we might have a break from Powells soul crushingly negative football. I'm actually sick of watching Town at the minute, I'd take Powells negative football if it was actually bearing fruit but it isn't and we look as easy to beat as we ever did !

wells didn't lose us the game, you cant lose a game if you don't concede.. he didn't win us the game but nobody else did either..
the fucking team lost the game and no one did enough to win it for us..
we were not lucky or unlucky, we just were not good enough at the vital points in the game..

I like Powell, but he's making it near impossible for himself. Granted his players on the pitch win games (or maybe not?) but his substitution today of Hogg, when Coady was having a mare made no sense to me, or I suspect anyone else watching. The fulham gaffer must have thought all his birthdays had come at once.

We should have easily won today
That said we had a lot of shots but how many of those we're clear chances - wells first half, Scannell header, penalties
Powell wise - He took 15 minutes to change it after they went down to 10 then took off our best player and most attacking defender.
How Edgar stayed on when Smith and Hogg didn't was beyond me.
Our play v 10 was stupid - slow with long aimless balls. Only once did we get behind them by playing the ball wide, overlapping. We didn't seem to know what to do but should have still got something from that. Management / players responsibility.
Win, draw or lose today and the rest of the season, my thoughts on Powell are clear - he looks out of his depth and doesn't has enough courage / bottle to take us further. Yes he needs a summer to add to the squad etc but he's on borrowed time - 10 wins in 34 is poor

Missing two bloody pens is not the best though, you have to take your chances, he shouldn't take them now. You need power and a cool head.

BBC site shows we had 13 on target to their 3. Powell responsible for our players missing penalties I assume? Shouldn't have let Wells take the 2nd and shouldn't even have thought about bringing in Edgar. Hindsights great in it

As a matter of interest does anyone else know who was on the managerial shortlist before Powell was appointed?

I'm puzzled by it all (granted it's not that difficult).
We've gone backwards since robins left. Jeez I thought his style of football was stupid, but Powell has now taken it all to a new level.

That's a very very poor result at home they hadn't won in ten away, but beat us 2-0. Wells is deffo very much a big part of the blame. No bottle. Can't even score one of two pens.Come on Nick, I usually stick up for you but this is nonsense. On the contrary, stepping up again after the first miss = 'bottle'
