    The Chairboys are off to Brisbane Road to take on the O's looking to kick start their season, after getting taught a lesson by the Terriers our hosts got their season up and running on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Wigan.
    Changes are expected let's hope Dodds stumble on the perfect lineup but he has already done that IT'S NOT THE PLAYERS IT'S THE TACTICS THAT ARE THE PROBLEM
    DODDS OUT<cheers>

    I know when Ainsworth first took over there were a lot of supporters against him, he had no experience what so ever. At this time I haven't heard a good word for Dodds, & from what I have seen from his time at Sunderland he was a disaster there as well at being the man in charge

    I was a Gareth fan right from the start. I could see he had drive and passion and was a great motivator. The technical bits are the bits you can learn. Dodds seems the complete opposite. I am in no way a fan of Dodds. He seems out of his depth and I hate the way he interviews. Gareth was always genuine and comfortable in interviews. Dodds gives the impession of not being genuine and distinctly uncomfortable in interviews. Despite that, however, I'm prepared to wait to see how he develops and hope he learns fast on the job. He has a lot of new players who have hardly played together, which is an added difficulty. He probably has no idea what his best starting 11 is. Does anyone?

    I'm willing him to prove me wrong but but I have about as much faith in Dodds turning into a successful manager as I do in Starmer being a successful PM in fact they are interchangeable both being androids and totally lacking charisma, experience, knowledge, personality or motivation skills

    100% correct, in fact I did watch one of the interviews with Dan Rice during the close seson on WWTV & they were saying the football side has been set up that if Dodds left for any reason he would be the only one to go no other staff would go with him
