Is Stanno going to get his preferred no 10 position for his return to Exeter or does he get a free role. Who would you play where?
 
Been looking at a lot of different Blues social media groups over the past week and also this weekend. There are certainly a lot of supporters starting to turn on CD regarding selections and line ups ect. Certainly, going to be a very interesting month.
 
Just certainly a difference between having your best players on the pitch active position and the best players for that position and I don’t think he’s found the right combination yet. However some of his decisions it’s almost as though he’s been told she’s got to play certain players
 
I don't go on social media after a loss. Seems like a lot of "supporters" love a bit of a reason to foretell the end of the world. Seems like some feed on negativity. They all want a big guy up front to hoof it up to and fail to appreciate thats not really worked out for us for 150 years .... some valid points but others are emotion over rational thought in my opinion
 
It’s interesting that isn’t Andy I hundred percent agree with you, people want CD's head after two losses it’s just ludicrous. Even in the OSC they're calling for heads yesterday, and I think oh my God did you not just have a season with six managers?
Do you really think even with all these investments we’re gonna get mass change overnight?
People been moaning 'the team hasn’t gelled yet comment' but is it really going to get fixed within the space of a dozen games?
Your bringing a young talented coach who is inexperienced as a manager you’re going to have ups and downs and wobbles and everybody needs to understand that making an appointment like this HAS to be a long-term decision not something you throw out with the bathwater just because you can.
We’re never gonna get anywhere changing managers or backroom staff every five minutes.
There's expectations of doing well because of what we spent and then these unrealistic expectations of going to win every match 12 nil despite the fact there’s 12 players in the oppositions 6 yard box.
 
The issue for me with Davies in that even though something isn't working you just keep on doing exactly the same thing and expect a different result, that's just stupid. Things havnt been good for a fair while now if we are all totally honest, not just the last two or three games.
 
We been poor not denying that but doing same thing expecting different results also applies with us sacking managers. We got rid of eustace when we were sixth. Think we want unrealistic instant gratification
 
I think that the overwrought responses are driven by fear … as just the thought of not getting out of this division given all the other fantastic developments at the club does make me feel nauseous KRO keep the faith

So what changes do you personally think need to happen?
 
Let creative players be creative not just having to pass on 1st/2nd touch. Earlier crosses but someone likely to get on the end of them and more speculative shots. Wingers being able to be more like yokoyama and take people on and get into box. Id like more rotation too and less reliance on favourites. I think getting rid of the manager now would be lunacy
 
TGH to come in, and sit wide like he has been doing for us. Looks positionally better than Laird and makes better choices.

May to start up front, Stansfield off the left. Thor in the middle.

Controversial and I don’t think we will make this change as Klarer and Bielik are our best rounded pair. But I thought we looked better defensively with Davies.

100% agree with you regarding May and Stansfield positions, Stansfield says the same constantly regarding his position. Thorn definitely in that position too. How Davies can't see this is beyond me. Laird gives forwards no confidence to make a run into the box. I for one did not expect to walk this Division despite all the hype. But for me with the players CD has at his disposal and the possession we are having if he Dosnt get us up he's failing miserably.
 
Answer me this please. How does Dykes get on the bench instead of Jukey? I don't think he improves us at all. I know Jukey can't play a full game but is a far better option for me
 
Can’t answer that one cos I definitely agree. I’ve not really seen him being anything from a strikers perspective
 
Just seen my email regarding the predictions. I think I will wait to see the line up me thinks. Was listening to Ian Clarkson on Radio Wm phone in this morning. Him and Richard wilford who obviously see all Blues games reckon the Buck stops with Davies putting square pegs in round holes was the statements
