To be completely honest I couldn't care less how they play, who plays or who doesn't. For now until the end of the season it is about survival. Next season, ye, think about playing nice football again. Not now.

My response was not meant to be disparaging towards Mr Carson - whom I wish well. Merely a response to the question of what tactics might be employed by NW on Saturday. I will be offering my full support at every match I can between now and the end of April. You are right we are all in this together

How about we just support Worthington and wait until the end of the season and see if he keeps us up ?
I could not care less how we play until then if we are still a league club. The Mills style was was not working and its time to move on and not put extra pressure on a man that could be the difference between still having a football club long term or not.

You're clearly right, in that nobody will mind if he keeps us up playing ugly football. And you're right that he needs support. But he's managed us for 2 matches now, and both of them have been very poor, negative displays by almost all accounts. Normally, you wouldn't be able to judge anything from 2 games, but he only has 10 games to see us to safety - that's 1/5th of the games played, and no real improvement. He has a tough task, but he knew that when he took the job - in my opinion, tuesday (and last saturday) were simply not good enough and the buck stops with him now. It's true that Mills' passing football wasn't working, and hadn't been for a while - but do you really see the brand of long-ball football that NW has played so far working either? Hardly any of our players are suited to that style of play. As always, I am absolutely prepared to retract these criticisms if NW makes positive changes - I hope he does, and he certainly has enough experience to make me think he will. But from what we've seen so far, I can't help but agree with CaptainCreosote.

How many points did we drop making a ****-up trying to pass the ball out of defence? I can remember Kerr getting caught a couple of times, plus mistakes by Smith and Carlisle (??). Personally watching the defence put in a proper clearance is an improvement.

Ive heard he's a complete nonce, but that was from a stranger. Maybe people should actually see how he fits before touting an opinion. The loan from Swansea was supposed to be Jesus walking on water. Didnt see any of that. The suggestion that for the rest of this season we are going to suffer long ball walloping , for it to change 'if we stay up' during the summer. Is laughable and typical of the idiots who shouted for Mr Mills sacking. You got what you deserve

Let us hope Carson starts at full speed because we are running out of games, but from the team I watched on Tuesday night, nobody will be on the same wavelength. They looked like a team of aliens, just arrived from planet Zog, and had a quick briefing on this game called 'football', and then proceeded to give it a go. How did these players ever get the attention of professional coaches, or PT Instructers at school, they must have performed better than they are now, they have no idea, they actually look about for advice, not knowing whether to kick long or pass and dribble. They are allowed to do both. Where is Coulson? a grand little player, and Potts, we need them both.

A mixture of the squad not being good enough and the fact the way we were playing was just too easy for the opposition. Knocking the ball around in midfield looked good but we just played at to slow a pace and nine times out if ten the final ball never came into the box, even when it did everyone in the opposition team had time to get back and defend. Worthington is trying to get us to play at a higher tempo and get more attempts on goal. We got two at Wimbledon which was an improvement but the Rochdale game sounded dire.
