it would be interesting to see how often, statistically, a change in manager saves a team from the drop, or improves their league position.
Wolves were mad to get rid ofMM.......condemned them to relegation I am sure, when before the sacking they had a chance.
QPR should have waited till the end of season......

I think Tony Fernandes saw what happened to Sunderland when they sacked Steve Bruce and he wanted some of that.

One of the things that impressed me with Blackpool last season was that they stuck with Olly.

don't know if I can take another 2 months of this. Sitting here sweating on the reading result !!Bonkers.
Should think Cloughie would be reasonably pleased with 2 points dropped by sheff utd.

Good night for Wrexham also.

A wonderful night for Wrexham, Ebbsfleet 0 - 5 Wrexham.

So the Robins now have the same goal difference as leaders Fleetwood and are 3 points behind with one game in hand. Game on!

PS: I want to say thanks to the way others are watching out for Wrexham's progress - not something I'm used to :sniffle:

Indeed so, now less than a win behind, automatic promotion is a distinct possibility again. Just got back from seeing Truro City 2 Boreham Wood 1, could just about see what was happening on the pitch in the fog!

It appears to be moving forward, but only the Pirates are buying into it and not City, who appear to have financial problems at the moment anyway.

I'm still desperately trying to discover in which toy-town English league this particular Welsh outfit are currently to be found, Ams ...

The only Robins of any consequence of which I'm aware are those of the mighty Altrincham FC ...

Before you cast stones about Welsh teams, why are Berwick allowed to be in the Scottish leagues, and before you castigate the Blue Square league, just do a quick check on crowd sizes compared to the Irn Bru Bottle of Pop 2nd and 3rd Divisions!

Ah well, y'see, Berwick has historically changed hands that many times that even the inhabitants are confused and divided in their nationality ... so they had to choose and obviously chose most wisely.......

As Ingerland has approx nine times the population of it's northern neighbour it is maybe hardly surprising that, generally, football crowds are larger though it would be somewhat remiss of me not to point out that the record attendances for domestic, European, and international fixtures on these islands are all held north of the border.

Anyway, now that I'm reliably informed which league includes Wrexham FC, I gracefully withdraw my earlier gross impertinence in describing it in advance as 'toy-town' ...

Blue Square premiership, scotty - with detective skills like yours, you should be on the strength in Manchester's CID

Berwick being in the Sottish league is no problem, would they have got into the English League? Plymouth, Torquay and Exeter must be delighted they don't have the journey.

That's probably the very reason they presumably didn't want to play in the English League, anyway ... because they, in turn, didn't want to travel to outlandish southern places like Plymouth, Torquay and Exeter.

They'd probably be in the Conference North anyway so it would be less of a problem - Notts or Staffs would probably be the limit!
