it's now inevitable we're going down with the incompetent Hudson at the helm.
nobody seems to care, we let Mozza go and we have a team of in the main sub-standard players for this Division who certainly don't play as a team.

Hudson as manager is a huge issue, I just don’t see the logic in his appointment.
Terrible managerial appointment replacing a terrible managerial appointment.
We have a very very poor squad. I don't think anybody could get a tune out of them to be honest.
Hudson was a decent player for us but he's no manager that's for sure. There are enough reasonably good players in the squad for him to get a tune out of (McCarthy's parlance) but I don't think he has the coaching ability to improve their level of performance. The problem is do you trust him to bolster the squad with loan acquisitions or bring in someone who knows what they're doing.Quote:

This is the concern, if we are going to bring in players be it frees or loans or whatever we need a manager in place to get them and Hudson is no manager. He has to be replaced now.Quote:

No, but you can avoid changing up a midfield after a much improved performance !Quote:

Kipre, O'Dowda, Wintle, Ralls, Philogene, Romeo, Davies and Collins (when fit) are no mugs and I suspect an experienced manager/coach will be able to get a lot more out of them than Hudson has been able to.Quote:

I would add Robinson to the list
O’Dowda has flourished being a key man in a poor side. He’s made huge strides. I think he could be a good LB for Burnley etc.Quote:

Players seem to be on a par ability wise, it’s the way they’re set up and organised that’s the deciding factor. I hope it’s not Warnock, he’s made a massive contribution to our current situation but we definitely need an experienced man to sort our lot out. If we make the right appointment things can turn around........$64,000 question though is can we put our trust in those ‘upstairs’ ? I think the answer, sadly, is ‘No’.
My original post referred to them as "reasonably good" not "genuinely good Championship players". They are adequate without being top end players for this division but still having enough quality for an experienced coach to work with. Robinson's omission was on oversight on my part.Quote:
