Although I'm pleased for the lads and for Redfearn, I can't help but feel that exactly what I said during the Birmingham game will come to fruition - that we'd win this game and probably the next two because they are winnable fixtures. Larry would have picked much the same team for these games and we'll be back in and around the play-off places before long. So basically, as most of us said - Larry was slightly overachieving with the squad/resources he has at his disposal. Thus, sacking Larry was absolutely fucking inexcusable and Bates is a horrible old cunt.
I know all these red cards are helping us a lot (that's five in five sequential games I think?) but we'd only lost one game this year so far and the team Larry was picking was almost certainly the strongest side we can currently play, kids and all. Sacking Larry isn't going to make Paynter, Sam, Bruce, O'Brien, Bromby and Brown suddenly better than the lads we've had out there since Xmas. That's three wins, a draw and one loss - leaving us two points out of the play-offs with good fixtures coming up. Is that really call to sack the manager when he's had basically fuck all to spend?
Fuck off Bates. You are an absolute cunt and I hope you know it.
