Simply because I reckon John has done well with the extremely meagre resources at the FES - he seems to have more personal feeling for this club than most managers for theirs. Yes, I would use subs differently when losing to how John has done in the past - but I'm batting zero in experience as a football manager, so I wouldn't argue too strongly with a guy whose service to a club is third only to 2 other guys whose teams lay in red.Keep the faith friend.

Curiously enough, my 'daily rag'...'The Daily Telegraph' that is !, didn't give JC's comments a single mention !. Come to think they didn't even report on the Darlo game at all !.
However what was reported regarding his early-season
thoughts in other 'Daily's'and Local Newspapers, seemed to be a reasonably accurate summarisation of the status quo at the FES.
BUT..Haven't we all seen enough already to come up with an identical appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses within the current squad...and don't we all know that if they don't win any games THEN they will be Conference-bound !.
Can I suggest that, as in the last two seasons,and with current resources at the FES, then all we can really expect to see over the coming months is a replay of the
thrills involved in managing an escape from impending DOOM !.
This at least engenders some excellent threads and postings on the Forum. All I can say is....
'ON STANLEY !...ON!' and do the best with what you've got. AND to the guys and gals on the FORUM..
STAY COOL !


ALFRED.E. Sends his best to JC and JB....but doesn't
know why!
