I've seen enough to be very concerned that GC is not the man to lead us back up after making sure we are relegated this season.

He has no experience, at all, of the lower division.

He keeps telling us that the players are buying into his ideas but when we play those ideas appear to be "clueless".

He took Jones (a LB) off today as a tactical move which possibly appeared to be going four at the back from three CBs (couldn't be sure because we were so bad anyway) to replace him with an inexperienced Kakay (a RB) at LB with Grimshaw (a poor midfielder) out of position at RB.

We have three forwards so far apart that if one gets a knock-down neither of the other two are close enough to benefit by it.

His choice of experienced GK cost us a goal and a point last week and a couple of goals this week in a shocking display of hesitancy. Fulton looks world class by comparison.

He doesn't appear to rate the youngsters DW blooded, because of a massive injury list, preferring to blood other teams youngsters instead. I would argue our kids looked better under DW than any of GC signings and, today, Simons did more in 10 minutes than Faupala in the entire time he was on the pitch.

With the teams we've played since his arrival (several teams struggling at the wrong end of the table) can anybody actually believe that DW would have got less than 3 points out of the 21 on offer? Bear in mind that RH won as many points in the couple of games he was in charge.

Not one of the 6 signings he has made have impressed since arriving in other than short spells in games and certainly don't inspire confidence that GC is a capable player in a poor man's marketplace.

The sacking of DW and the appointment of GC looks like yet another financial cost to the club.

I cannot seeing us winning another game this season with GC as manager, the players he's brought in, and the sterile tactics he employs.

good post and agree with all but one thing, Humphries got more points out of one game than caldwells 7, Humphries other game was a cup match, so league percentage, Humphries 100% Caldwell 0%

He's in way above his head. Comes across clueless, pathetic tactics and formation. He won't last long.

We won't get more than 6 more points this season and that's being kind.

Taking Jones off did it for me. Replaced on left side with a player who can't kick wit left foot.

As much as I want Caldwell to win and be successful I am truly shocked by what I've seen. Those kids he's brought in are no better than ours. A truly abysmal transfer window and passionless players. Caldwell out. Has to go.

I hope Carson has dragged him in for a bolocking after his disgraceful comment about the fans and ensuring he issues an immediate apology.

Our spineless leader wouldn't do that. Carson blocks fans on Twitter at the slightest of criticisms. I'm sure he takes it as badly as Caldwell has.

He needs to be as those comments post game have turned away another load of paying customers for the next match.

I guess that just means more loans from DA and even more interest payments, so yes probably not bothered.

I suggest getting Kermit the Frog as our new manager. He'd be used to working with muppets both on and off the pitch

He needs to know which topics to steer clear of after what sounds like one of the worst home performances of the decade (with plenty to choose from).

It's ridiculously early to say it but I don't see a happy ending with us and Caldwell.

Quite simply we have turned into an awful football club a la Leyton Orient, Blackpool, Blackburn, Coventry where the owners quite simply don't give a ****. We need to be concerned about whether we will hold our league status next year. Alas like the other clubs mentioned we are the play things of multi millionaires
