After the Reading game I'd ask Mick to leave and ask Steve Morrison to step up , and take over until the season end deploying his U23 playing style as I think the youngsters in our first team squad will relate to him .

To supplement Steve I'd also ask Sean Morrison to assist as player coach to manage the more experienced players as they will relate to him .

I do have some sympathy for Mick and agree with Danny Gabbidon's valid comment last night , where he said yes the tactics are bad however "the club didn't back him in the summer " with better recruitment .

Surely we could have grabbed a player like Adam Reach ??
