Clyde1998 It will be total folly to sack Hunt after that performance today. A manager cannot legislate for missed opportunities; the last few games have been decided by them. We could easily have got seven more points right now from the last three games. We couldn't've said that earlier in the season. There's clear progression being made.

Today was good and we were unlucky, but I don't agree with the wider diagnosis. The 1st halves against Mansfield and Exeter were abominations, especially at Exeter where we were gifted an early lead and still performed poorly for 45 minutes.
Ultimately a good performance in a game we still lost is not enough to save him; we need results. 11 points from 12 games and 1 point off the bottom. He could have no complaints if he's gone by Tuesday's game.

Armadillo Roadkill You save your job by improving things. Today was, by all accounts, a good performance marred by poor finishing. So Hunt is maybe starting to turn things around after a string of really poor showings.
Win against Northampton and Doncaster and Hunt's job will be safe for now. Which, of course, is what I want.

6 points from those two would make the table look a lot better, and would build upon today's performance. Ideally they would be convincing wins, unlike Vale and Orient.
Do that and he definitely has more time - it would probably enough to suggest we're turning a corner combined with today.
But fail to deliver and it's bottom 3 after 14 games. There comes a point where you run out of chances and excuses. Sport is all about fine margins; I can see a route whereby we win those 2, get confidence and start a run which ultimately keeps job in a job into next season. But less than 4 points and it's simply untenable. His managerial career could hinge on a lucky deflection or a poor miss.

Yes.....this is how I see it; need 4 points from 2 winnable home games or its time for a change.
Yes unlucky today but these things even out and several of the draws and the Orient win were on the fortunate side.
