One positive from today, we have reduced the gap with the teams above us to 6 points (our goal difference is far worse).

How much longer will Beattie get? Tuesday? Saturday?
or will he get 15 games and go as far as the following Saturday vs Wycombe at home?

Something has got to give; if the results don't improve Beattie surely must realise he is the problem and step aside?
After all, its his team/tactics/game plan/formation/substitutions.

One of the key lessons to be successfull in business (or in life) is to learn from your mistakes as quickly as possible.
That way you tend to make your errors as cheap as possible and give yourself the time to get it right.
James must know he is not cut out to be a football league manager on the current evidence.
The longer he holds on, the more he damages the clubs chances of getting out of the mess he has created.
He needs to put the clubs future ahead of his own opinion about his managerial ability.

Nothing wrong with trying something and it not working out then walking away with you head held high saying you gave it your best but it didn't work out.
Far worse to keep ignoring the facts, keep ignoring your mistakes and hope you get some 'luck'. You don't get luck, you earn fortune by doing the successful things more often than your competitors.
When Man Utd win the league, they don't win it out of luck, they win it by doing the right things more often than their competitors.
I do hope he has a long hard think if he is still in charge on Tuesday and the result is not a win.
Only a win will do against a Bristol Rovers side who started the season with a lot of injuries and are still trying to find their feet and some consistency.
He has lots of support, everyone wanted a win today and everyone will want a win on Tuesday.
