    I wonder if KLD has twigged that an experienced football man is needed somewhere. It seems to me we went on an upward curve under the Johnson, Neil, and Mowbray. All of them had plenty of experience in the top job and in pressure situations. As soon as we take that sort of experience away, young players can get lost. Ours have. Under Beale it wasnt as bad as under Dodds, but to have the calamatous run of form post Mowbray is quite hard to achieve. Now I have no doubt we are going to get another younger coach, but maybe KLD needs a sounding board for himself and the board. Someone who has actually seen the game for years, on the inside of the dreasing room. This season wasnt too far from relegation, and I know that is on the board for their decision making. Lets hope they, the board, get some help as I think they need it.

    My grandson made a point today - he said it was like watching kids his age playing football. Have to admit he wasn't far off tbh. They would play the ball then would stand watching with the arms spread with a "pass to me" stance

    If it's even him. Rubberface over the road has hinted that we've made no move for Still and that it's Maric.

    If you had to make an educated guess as to who the next head coach is, who would you say?

    I think his reputation as a player development coach will remain largely unharmed.

    Individual player development is his forte, keep him away from team tactics and formations.

    Rohl has done wonders to keep Sheffield Wednesday up from where they were when he took over

    Aye I can see that - could be something to do with having academy level coaches running the 1st team for 3 months.

    Shameful state of affairs.

    Yep. But Dodds couldnt. Dodds has failed remarkably.

    He reckons he is future HC material - stunning lack of awareness or acceptance of limitations. Unbelievable isn't it?

    Baffling mate, I haven’t seen anything to suggest he can coach a team, let alone head one up
