Dave Jones time is up it's just not working. Seems a good bloke but that doesn't make him a good manager. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, just look at Mark Hughes for example. I think changes need to be made before the fans turn on DJ and even Milan for sticking with him and the bad results week in week out.

Same old fickle fans!

Why is it fickle?the fans have been behind him all season singing his name at matches and so on,but peoples had enough now its getting depressing it needs shaking up or im sorry to say were going to end up going down and thats the first time ive mentioned the drop all season its getting a bit worrying im sure plenty would agree

He means the fickle fans who've been turning up in all weathers year after year, paying out a fortune of their hard-earned, and just want to see the team they love do well.
Why do some fans insist on defending the manager just cos hes OUR manager.
Football managers should be same as anybody else at work, if you not doing job properly expect a bol***king, an if you cant do the job the gaffer will get somebody that can.

Cant believe all these negative posts about jones and tuesdays performance.. Face it blackpool were a better team.. theryve had longer to gel together and spent more money and are blessed with the quality of tom ince... Alot of wednesday fans need to get real and stop blaming the mangement for tuesdays defeat .. BLACKPOOL were the better team this league is the strongest it has been for years how can people expect us to walk it ... time to get realistic people

Most of the people ARE being realistic and its not just about tuesday.
Most fans are upset with the management because of the way the club is being managed ! Some of the problems are glaring and obvious and are not being addressed.
Examples: 1.Defensive frailties and persisting with a new recruit who was obviously worse than what we had, and letting a promising defender go out on loan. 2. The majority of fans and probably a lot of the players don't believe Bothroyd is worth his place , but he is the first name on the sheet and the team shape and tactics centre on him ?? 3. Glowing praise for Barkley after every game, justified now but he is not part of our future and we do have our own players who are working very hard. 4. Now we find the only reason we are losing games , according to DJ, is because the refs have some sort of vendetta against us ??
Nobody expected promotion this year but we did expect to build on last year with a few clever transfers to bring in the Championship experience needed. Instead weve signed loads of quality young players, some who will definitely make the grade. But they wont be at S6 if we dont stay in this division and make progress.
As a result of examples like these and many more we are not progressing and that is why the fans are losing patience.

He picks the team, he tells them how to play, he picks formations, hes squanderd money,its boring his excuses week in week out are boring his style of play is boring and its not good enough end of

Why o why does DJ insist on playing Bothroyd he breaks up our attacks loses the ball nearly every time its passed to him, sure he has bags of talent when he feels like playing but most of time he don't and I realise now its got nowt to do with fitness like I thought when he first came he is just plain and simple Lazy.

To the guy who posted quality young players.if you mean barkley and rodri.we haven,t signed them. They,re not our future

I obviously didnt mean those two if you read what I said cos I mentioned Barkley NOT being ours. Rodri should be given a chance otherwise he'll never want to be ours will he?
But I do give credit for some of the young talent DJ brought in Corry, McCabe, Lavery, n couple of other foreign lads who play in dev squad.
My point was that he should have brought some experience in first to make sure we don't struggle like we are doing, the youngsters could have come later, priority has to be not going down.
