I understand why Clough might be given this season (barring any serious threat of relegation, which seems unlikely), but it would be a kindness based on last season. It's clear that we need an overhaul in the squad, and that will probably have to be done by a new manager at the end of the season.

Disagree about an overhaul , The problem all season has been that the fittest 11 start and the bench is made up mainly of players who are not capable of completing a full game . Before kick off today we were in the play offs with a make do and mend squad. Lack of defenders and a small squad means we never start with every player in their natural position.

- 37 year year old Perch who just fractured his skull, got torn apart by ex Stags striker vs Bradford last week.
- O'Toole at centre back who has played his whole career in midfield
- Striker Hawkins. No comments needed here!
He has a right back and left back on the bench for God's sake! He hasn't brought a single winger to the club. We don't have any pace at the club whatsoever. It's so easy to play against.
Then the only striker we are playing is gangly utility player Akins who is never going to score goals in his life! You have Swan on the bench…
What on earth is his obsession with signing players who do significantly below average job all over the pitch and playing them out of position? What is the point? We are never ever going to win anything with this team. In fact, the only players playing in the actual positions, today were the central midfielders.
Awful recruitment and awful decisions that can’t be defended or reasonably explained by anybody. Failed to sign cover in all positions and been caught out.. terribly!
All of the above is 100% factual so you Clough suck up ‘just get behind them’ brigade or you ‘we are 1pt off play offs you miserable sod’ crew.. please have a day off and say it how it is.

Would the ex FGR manager (Rob Edwards) drop back down....would he be interested or affordable ??
Can JR afford to pay NC off and then pay compensation for a manger.....would an experienced manager at another club be interested ?
Personally...I dont think JR will sack Nigel, ...not yet anyway, possibly at end of season !
