Full time: GUISELEY 6-1 YORK CITY

Well what can you say. Guiseley's first win this season and in emphatic style. Embarrasing. His job was untenable before the match, if he survives this I will never know. A bad week for him, missing training to go and pick up an Audi in Edinburgh, fined for not having a train ticket to York from Edinburgh and 6 in a row without a win.

Statistically he is our worst manager in the history of the club. He has not won an away game during his tenure (gained 4 points from 72).

Very sad and desperate times at the club, winning twice at Wembley in a week seems a lot more than 4 years ago.

AFC Totton 2...Winchester City 3 (Watts 64, Gosney 84; Jenkinson 32, 57, Wilson 88 pen)

Winchester City are through to the second round of the League Challenge Cup tonight after a hard-fought victory. A debut brace from Andy Jenkinson (including a superb free kick) was cancelled out by a close range effort and a piledriver but with penalties beckoning one of our wingers was felled in the box and Sam Wilson converted the penalty to see City progress.

Going to be an interesting few months with Warnock as our new manager!

Certainly can't wait to see how he gets on with Tan, considering the fairly persistent rumours of Tan interfering in the dressing room. I can't see Warnock accepting any of that!

Probably the best thing to happen to Cardiff for years. Although Warnock can be thoroughly unlikeable at times, he is effective at what he does, cannot see it being any different there.

Cannot see him lasting long though, if the Tan rumours are true. He'll walk rather than put up with it.

4pm and Jackie McNamara is still manager and there is nothing to suggest that he is getting sacked/going to leave. Obviously Jason McGill doesn't mind us playing Conf North football next season because that's where we are heading
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
A statement has just come out of the club this very minute stating that Jackie will resign if we fail to get a "positive result" at Braintree on Saturday.

It's a really strange situation there, and any outsider would read that McNamara somehow holds all the cards there, which is ridiculous. I cannot recall any situation ever where a manager has been so bad, yet seems to be able to dictate his future and the possibility of leaving on his own terms.

What does he deem a positive result at the weekend? Only conceding 3-4?

 

[backontrack]

I think that the York City team will deliberately do badly. I know I would, and they would have my full support in doing so.

Not something I would normally advocate, but given his comments after the game where he has put all of the blame on them, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

 

[SS4]

As an outsider looking in, I don't think the manager is the problem there...

This view is not limited to outsiders.

Villa fans on here, would you and your fellow fans accept Steve Bruce as manager if it was an option. There's no questioning he is one of the best championship managers, and is available

Yes, I would take him. After all if he got success with Small Heath he must be good

 

[richw]

SS4, it seems to have gone quiet on that front.
In my opinion Steve Bruce and Neil Warnock are the best two championship manGers. They know the league inside our and get results.

The way Braintree is at the minute, I think York'll still win... we are in dismal form at the moment, and Hayrettin has lost both his first two matches. We only did well last season because of Danny Cowley...

Heslop puts York 1-0 up as early as the 5th minute

Braintree equalise with a penalty in the 88th minute and the match finishes as a 1-1 draw.

I'm shock as Oldham won for two time in space of four days. hock:

Gillingham 1-2 Oldham

Sound like we were poor in first half where Gills should scored more but lot better performance from us in second half give Oldham only they second league win of season and move them up to 21st in League one table.

Winchester City 1...Petersfield Town 1 (Matthews 24; Simmonds 31)

Winchester City face a replay in the FA Trophy after being held by Petersfield. Robbie Matthews opened the scoring with a header but the visitors equalised after a defender misjudged a bounce and the ball looped over the keeper. City peppered the visitors goal in the second half but were unable to get the winner.

England phone in a comfortable but decidedly underwhelming performance at Wembley to beat Malta (population: 445,426 (2014)) by two goals to nil. Roll on next Sunday!

Underwhelming but acceptable considering the turmoil of the last week.

As they lost to Iceland recently (population 332,000) a vast improvement !!

 

[DarloRich]

A 2-2 draw for Darlo today at Brackley. We took the lead twice through two superb goals and chucked in 2 silly goals to give away our lead! The point was about right

Heslop puts York 1-0 up as early as the 5th minute

Braintree equalise with a penalty in the 88th minute and the match finishes as a 1-1 draw.

And it seems McNamara isn't sure whether it's a positive result or not, he is still 'undecided' on whether to go.

 

[DarloRich]

it seems our Caledonian cousins are loosing to mighty Lithuania and the natives are getting restless.

EDIT - the Socks salvaged a point at the death and were then denied a late penalty. damn.

The URL has recently updated to say he's staying until a replacembet is found. Pretty much a caretaker manager for the job he just quit!

Go on, I give up...

What exactly is a replacembet and where are these normally to be found.?

It's a replacement typed by someone with dyslexia. It wouldn't take much that to work it out as a basic spelling mistake yourself! My device normally fixes my spelling.

Back to relevant topic the England under 21s finished their qualification campaign unbeaten with a 5-0 win.
