Poll Comments
"I am upset to see votes for Alex. Nobody else would have a) put up with Black b) made the best of such a bad job."
"What muppet voted for Greg Hadden ? Like one player could make this much of a difference."
"Hey, what about the refs? They all seem like they've got it in for us. Especially Nieckar!!"
"OK so Damps is limited by Neil Black but his tactics and motivation skills are simply not up to the job - he has to go."
"Doesn't matter who's in charge, if the players are not up to it we will continue to struggle.
"A lot of the players have let themselves down this season - but when they all put their hearts into it we get games like on Saturday."
"Most fans sing if the effort appears to be going in,even when the boys backs are against the wall, but some dont seem to want to play.their attitude is starting to affect those they abandon to play "short handed"."
"Pay peanuts, you get monkeys and Black's holding the purse strings."
