The Lower League Thread

If I were a Wolves fan I'd be more concerned about Mick McCarthys record as a Premiership manager if they make it into the top flight.......Sunderland !

Agreed, if they do get promoted which looks very possible & they're serious about staying in the Premiership, then they'll have to out Macarthy who just simply isn't good enough to Manage successfully in the Prem, without a doubt..

got to give him the tools to do the job first......Sunderland didn't. Did he manage another prem. team other than Sunderland ? I can't remember.

As regards the Rochdale v Macc controversy,a "totally unbiased" view from the Macc manager,Keith Alexander,who said Macc were worth at least a point !

Besides if Macc would have knicked it then Dale would have been out of the play off positions and we wouldnt want to do that on our near friends and neighbours !

Very neighbourly of you old chap

However, when you play Bury. Please don't give them the same courtesy and kick their a55es please

I think the only other club he managed was Millwall.

That's why when we get promoted come next May, I hope Doughty digs deep to sign Kaka et al

Keep your hands off our players. We'll let you have Ronaldo and Messi instead

[suiging]

Merlin as Mick is known to the faithful, has put together a young squad who play football with ten of them on International duty this week. Not bad from a man with so much bad press.

Championship @#$%^ difficult to get out of. He did it with the plastic Geordies and then was not even allowed to keep the best of what got them there.

He deserves a chance to show what he can do with Mr Morgans little pot of gold. Never forget Morgan, lifelong Liverpool fan, feels snubbed by the " big boys" and is determined to show them what they missed out on under his patronage.

[chavy]

3 useful points today off the Canaries.......I feel

[Macclad]

Barnet 1 Macclesfield Town 3.

Another good away result for the Silkmen which helps us claw away from the bottom clubs a bit.

Next weekend Port Vale away in the FA Cup.

[thaimiller]

what the hel_l is going on with the millers, 3 defeats in 3 games, no goals scored, 8 let in, something needs to change or all the good work will have been a waste.

The Mighty Dale 2 - 0 Luton

Upto third now

The Mighty Dale 2 - 0 Luton

Upto third now

I think a few of us are looking forward to seeing Rochdale beat Leeds in League One next season, they might also be playing Notts Forest, if Calderdud keeps up the good work.

Could well be I hear Billy Davies is being lined up to replace Calderdud very soon ?? 0-0 bore draw with Donny last night hardly does his cause any good. Problem is, Doughty is so slow to act we'll be relegated before he shakes himself into life !!

whilst your on the stairs, I'll be the one in the plummeting lift, me thinks

Well,Forest won their "must win" game !

Calderwood survives for now

Chesterfield 2 Macclesfield Town 4.

Friday night football seems to agree with the Silkmen following on from their win at Port Vale in the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago.

Good to get a win after being thumped at Wycombe and being held to a draw by Bury after outplaying them.

Good luck to all our teams playing this weekend.

[thaimiller]

good result for the millers this weekend, game called off due to waterlogged pitch

[mrbojangles]

Rochdale got battered yesterday

[Macclad]

Rochdale got battered yesterday

So did Macc losing 4-0 at home to Dagenham talk about inconsistent.

Apparently David Moyes was there with the Everton FA Cup tie only a couple of weeks away.I wonder what he made of it

But Rotherham won and chavy should be a happy man today with Forest beating Southampton 2-0 away in the Championship.

Colin Calderwood....wot a star

[mrbojangles]

Bury lost as well. So that's a bonus

[StevieH]

speaking of smaller clubs, apparently leeds have sacked gary mcallister. shame that, thought he had it in him to become a decent manager.

After todays result, Mark Hughes could be available !!

[Macclad]

Colin Calderwood sacked as Forest boss after they lose 4-2 at home to Doncaster.

Shame about the timing with it being Xmas but inevitable after that result.

In League 2 Rochdale come from behind to beat Shrewsbury 2-1,a good win for Rotherham but Macclesfield lose 4-1 at Morecambe

But I'm not worried.They will be a different team against Everton next weekend in the Cup

[mrtoad]

Calderdud has left the building, so who are you going to have Chavy?

1. Nigel

2. Roy Keane

3. Stuart Pearce

4. Paul Ince

5. Kevin Keegan

6. Jason Lee

7. Paul Jewell

8. David Platt (again)

On a serious note, who would you want?

[mrbojangles]

Has he gone Toady / Chavy? Haven't seen it reported anywhere yet.

As for the Mighty Dale. Another victory
