I’ve tried to be patient and give the man time to implement his style on the squad. I’m afraid I can’t sit back any longer, I’ve had enough of feeling like this on a Saturday. You gave it a go but it just hasn’t worked out, whether that be recruitment or whatever, it just hasn’t worked.
Thanks but it’s time to move on, before it’s too late. It’s such a shame because Betsy comes across as a decent chap, but that isn’t enough to win games.
Watching on iFollow and I thought it was a penalty. No idea why Ransom stuck his hand out but held like that and then the ball hitting it means a penalty. Shit happens. Bloody unlucky and all that but the response after was very poor.
The last ten minutes, we're trying to salvage something and Doncaster have more shots on goal than us in that time.
Betsy needs to make some very hard choices now. With that performance in mind do some of those players deserve to start? If I were the boss some of them would be looking at some reserve team football for a long time.
This result is alarming to be honest, and I didn't watch the game but heard the last goal was not great to watch especially. Unfourtunately even I am starting to have serious doubts about this manager as I know these players are a lot better than the league position is suggesting. Hate having to say that as Betsy is a decent bloke and his record suggests he does have some talent in developing players but I'm not sure this is the right job for him. Think we need someone who's willing to play a more direct, attacking style and doesn't care how the ball goes in as long as we're winning games and getting the crowd excited, I'd be tempted to ask Graham Alexander or David Artell maybe
Today we were a bit unlucky, but also we didn’t defend well. First half they put a lot of balls in our box and they were winning all the headers then eventually they score from a deep cross to the back post. We quickly respond with a well worked goal with Nichols, Nadesan and Tilley combing well. HT 1-1. We start the second half well with a lot of possession, but then a very hash penalty decision goes against us and from there it all unraveled and we struggled to create anything going forward and they got lucky again with the third goal a miss hit shot falling nicely for their player to slam home in the box. 4th goal was an absolute shambles losing the ball in midfield and their player running through our back line without so much as a challenge and scoring from close range. The penalty in the second half definitely changed the momentum of the game and the players heads dropped. Looked a ridiculous decision to me with their player heading the ball against our players hand from very close range, no time for him to move his hands out the way. Worrying thing is we don’t do the basics at the back and get stuck in and win the ball in the air especially in our own penalty area. Doncaster are a bang average team and we got beaten comfortably yet again this season. I said 5 more games after last week, but I’d give the manager one more chance with a home game next week and if we can’t see any improvement and get a result then it’s time for him to go I’d say. 6 points from 10 games is appalling stuff and if weren’t for the fact that only two teams go down and the rest of the teams around us have been doing so badly we’d be rock bottom several points adrift. We’ve got 36 games to get another 44 points which should see us safe, the longer we keep Betsy on the more difficult a job the next manager has. One more chance for Betsy and if we lose again on Saturday let him go so the next manager has a good chance of keeping us up.

Nichols miscontrols the ball and it falls to Hurst sixty maybe seventy yards from goal. Not one single challenge, not one single attempt to block and then the keeper sits down.
Sunday league team does that and the trips around the biggest field the manager could find would be nearly infinite!

Evans is in town next week, could do a lot worse than try and tempt him back.

I actually really worry for Betsy to be honest if next week goes badly
I can see him being sacked either this week or next week after a defeat. 6 points and 1 win in 10 with an improved budget on last seasons mid table finish is simply nowhere near good enough. Thankfully there is about 10 teams in this league that have been awful that are averaging less than a point a game. This is unusual and has masked how bad we are doing so far. Normally 6 points from 10 games would mean we would be bottom of the league. How we aren’t in the relegation zone already is a miracle.
