Time for KLD or KS to bite the bullet and get the new head coach and whatever team he wants to bring. Summer is too late, damage is being done week by week to our prospects of being able to get the best possible players in the summer when we cash in on a couple of players. This period is so critical. We need to be top 10 and have a clear direction of travel, otherwise cluba like Norwich etc will have a major edge on us.

Secondly this young squad needs leadership. Arguably KS and KLD need somebody to push them forward in the best way. We must have the youngest squad, youngest coaching team, and youngest boardroom. That isnt an optimum mix. It is why I argued Mowbray being given the bullet was daft, we needed an experienced man around the place. We need an appointment now to reset the club trajectory and that either needs to be an experienced man at this level, or a young coach with huge amounts of arrogance and self belief. We need leadership badly.

Who we get is up to them. If they have a man lined up for the summer, then spending to get him now will be the best money they could spend. No excuses, just go and make it happen. It is not impossible.

This for me as well. Dodds isn't the answer.

Would give the whole place a lift if we went out and got an impressive coach right now. He'd be backed even if results didn't go well this season because it wouldn't be their fault and would allow them to prep for next season. Needs to be done now. It won't be though.

It has to be done now mate, for me anyway. We are sinking fast. I would even accept a firefighter until the end of the season, a different voice for KS and KLD to hear from, and someone prepared to dish out a bit of tough love to the players. I love footballers with talent and technique, and we have plenty of them, but right now soms need a real bollocking. I pick on Ekwah a bit because he has so much in hia favour, but he drives me up the wall at times. I want to see him smash players and dominate with running and physicality. Need a coach to give him and others some home truths.

It was reported this week the Neil wants the job again, how would you feel about him coming back right now?

I dont know what Steve Round is up to. Somebody like him somewhere in our setup would be interesting. Doubt he is a head coach, but his experience is brilliant and I could see him being a massive help for coaches. I remember McAllister saying Beale benefitted from his knowledge of players at Villa. I just feel somewhere we need genuine elite level experience.

Some of this is our approach mind. We have to be less purist and hit the channels sometimes. That comes from our coaching set up. For all his faults I thought we started to get the ball forward a bit sooner under Beale. Forwards have to drop into their own half to get the ball and it pulls defenders into our half instead of facing their own goal Canny lad Dodds but at the end of the season if not before we need a refresh on that front and recruitment. Need another set of eyes on recruitment also.

The Niall Quinn whose stewardship led us into large amounts of debt we needed to bring Ellis Short in to clear before he ran us into larger amount of debt that saw us plummet into the third division with Donald and the rat **** in charge?

But yeah, sure. Sounds like a good plan.

Exactly this, the squad needs a proper manager to sort them out and to help them. Dodds is a children's coach and should be no where near 1st team duties. Until we get a experienced manager in then we're walking towards the botton

Dodds is very much part of the problem
As a manager he is hopeless, and as a coach I question his effectiveness
Simple things like last season we did not score from a corner for over a hundred attempts, no creativity from free kicks
