If you are then I can forgive you panicking, things are changing all the time, to remove GJ now will make absolutely no difference whatsoever. GJ is too long in the tooth and very experienced to see it go rotten. Being 10 years old you won’t understand but rest assured GJ and the team will get out of this current predicament.

We Go down, because something needs to change, Gary and Aron are not providing that something, we could be relegated before Christmas at this current rate. So a young manager with a young squad May just bring out a fresh lease of live. Because it ain’t working at the moment and it broke last season something ain’t right.

He has been and still is a very good manager who has the ability and experience to achieve a decent league position this season. Of course things would be significantly easier if more financial resources were available but in the present economic climate this situation is unlikely to come about. Those calling for his replacement should be careful what they wish for - remember Cox, Knill, Hargreaves. Owers and Nicholson, none of whom can hold a candle to Gary Johnson

He has assembled a squad that is clearly not fit for purpose, he has 'managed' us to bottom of the league, outplayed in virtually every game this season. We can barely score and to describe our defending as fragile is being generous. He seems bereft of any idea of how to change it. We are currently heading back to the abyss of regional football once more. This isn't just 2 or 3 games in, we have played 13 games, over a quarter of the season gone of repeated poor performance. We cannot afford to say we must keep a manager based on one NLS title and a failed promotion final 2 seasons ago. If you think that under such circumstances, any criticism of the manger is unjust, well I don't know when you think it would be?
Juat because we have had poor mangers in the past, and can't think instantly of who might take over doesn't mean we should stick with the appalling situation we have.
If Johnson turns this around, then great, but can't see it myself. I bet even Johnson himself can't believe he hasn't been sacked because he knows at virtually any other club he would have been!

We are not getting thumped and I feel that if we keep things as they are then performances will steadily improve. Stick with the current setup! Thats what I say!
