Some of you are clearly dazzled by Slav's charm in contrast to our actual performances and results.
He's played you all liked fiddles, whinging to the press all summer long about the lack of money despite getting nearly all the players he asked for. Then bleating about the board selling a player he didn't even rate. In the positions he bleated about the most (goal, left-back) the current incumbents have stepped up well and have been far from our greatest issue.
He made completely the wrong sub at half time, leaving Grant on so it was like playing with 9 men, instead of switching Grant for Robinson, but worse than that was the mental collapse of the team. We have no fight, no mental strength. That's on Slav. Yes, he's great in interviews and yes, he looks good on the touchline, but that's not enough.
Slav and the board don't like each other, so he's not getting a contract extension either.
I hope Dowling is on the phone to Nigel Pearson asap. Meanwhile, Appleton has got Lincoln to within two points of the top of League One on a budget of pennies. He'll do for next season in the Champ.

That's the issue with Slav. If we ended last season strong then I'd say we wouldn't be having this debate as we are aware we're one of the weakest teams in the league. But our form at the end of last season was really poor. Could someone else get more from this squad? I'm not sure right now.

bilics biggest problem is that he keeps on playing sawyers and bartley, the back 3 would look so much better with oshea or maybe put furlong in the back 3 aswell
