Rocko..

Just jumping on here as felt I wanted to say something since last weekend but haven't known what to say, to be perfectly honest. A few observations as much as anything.

Firstly am sorry to see Rocko is / will be off and concerned there may be an exodus though hoping the better/loyal players hang around. No idea what this season holds but the simple fact that we've beaten some top teams shows we can do it. Whether better organisation, tactics, a different voice in the dressing room may benefit whilst improving key areas of the team sharpish. A decent central midfielder ala Riddick would make the world of difference.

Am far from close to the hub of the club but have from afar seen things change very much for the worse since the end of last season. That last home with a decent crowd, a feel good factor and an actual atmosphere in that crumbling ruin aka The Meadow. Why so? What happened to cause this? I've only attended 4 games this season and from the off back in August, fans not stood together anymore, clear factions and ill feeling obvious.

Re Jack Wells, I warmed to him and also found him refreshingly open and honest, couldn't be accused of a lack of commitment, enthusiasm or work ethic. He made mistakes along the way but with the best of intentions imo. Ultimately though his actions on Saturday were beyond acceptable and he had to go. Even that though wasn't best handled and led to the unfortunate and unnecessary fall out with some loyal supporters and good people.

Certain comments made there that I found hard to understand as have never observed the type of unacceptable abuse of players being alluded to by Jack, either on here or at matches. Always good natured, dry 'gallows humour' and sarcasm which rarely crossed the line for me and was certainly not hurtful or personal to anyone. I stand corrected if I missed this whilst of course accept some humour is subjective as my Twitter followers will testify to!

Have personally found this season hard work, fractured, uninspiring, even listening to Jack's post match interviews a case of same old, same old. Whether this contributed to the general malaise, apathy amongst fans and 'stay aways' call it what you will but something did need to change as far as I'm concerned.

The unhelpful comments and digs at fellow fans on here which are causing further rifts and ill feeling are sad to see though are a reflection of the current state of Aylesbury Utd FC.

Didn’t manage to get over tonight due to work commitments.

Hope the two young lads who were VD and Winslow have applied.

If not them let’s hope the leader will do it.

It's called looking professional and not like a pub team. I know it's 20 plus years now and easier every year to forget but we are not a pub team.

It's all gone a bit feral in here.

What does anyone have to gain assassinating the character of an interim manager? With the mess we are in we'd be lucky to have someone like him on board. As for the rumours being spread about him? Now his dress sense? Literally had one night in charge in which we avoided defeat in a game we could not lose. One look at this post he'd run to the hills and you wouldn't blame him.

& why is comparing players important? We have some talented players in this squad and it was always the case the squad just needed tweaking. Wells lost his head under the pressure and we are where we are. Need someone to come in and steady the ship. Hopefully it’ll stop the likes of Rocko moving on…

It's now about the club doing whatever it can to stay at step 4. Time for the supporters to support the club and just stop the nonsense.

I completely agree with you nelmo and couldn’t have put it better myself, we are in a precarious position, teams below us have games in hand and if they win them we are bottom.

I personally want Tuttle as gaffer, old school approach won’t say bad against the fans and I urge the fans to go out your way to talk to him like I did Tuesday, a top bloke who is seriously misunderstood.

If it’s him let’s hope he gets time to get his own players in. If not I appreciate him stepping in twice for us.

Anyway in other news I met his son at the game, I asked him if he played and got in to a good conversation he played for Oxford United, Havant & Waterlooville, Marlow, Wantage and binfield.

This goes on to my next question have we ever had a father son combo at the club? That’s to say he joined, which I never asked him in fact.

Damed if he does, damed if he doesn't. I hope the club don't make the same mistake again in appointing a replacement manager
