Summed up perfectly by the lads.

4 years of building us up then failing at the second half of the season

well its no surprise, 1 win in 9 and your always looking to be in danger of keeping your job

i said as soon as he signed for saints that if we had a bad run he would be off and its happened

not a great time for anderson to take over the top job..lets see if we can salvage something but if the run continues we have to be worried for the future

i can see purtill coming in very soon too


got to give brown credit he has taken us to the next level but just not got any silverware, improved players and brought youngsters through too but the time was right to go... hope we can continue his good work and not do the things he did badly...chopping and changing too much and struggling for another game plan when things start to go wrong!

Disrupted season 2 saying he was leaving a the end of that season, but changed his mind (house burned down). Season 3 disrupted with more will he stay/go rumours & rumours of fall-outs/disruptive influences in the changing room, culminating in a damp squib end to the season. That should have been the point where the club said "thanks, but no thanks".

Every coach has a shelf-life, and Brown went a season too far possibly.

Seems that 70% of your fans are basing opinions on Brown in regards to the last 8 weeks, rather than the really good job that he has done overall at your club.

Couldn't agree more.

Albion, tend to agree. He has been great for the club!

Agree with meast , dg et al and the sentiment in this thread.
He moved us up a level or two or three and gave us great memories and for that we thank him.
Time has come for a change for all involved.

Nathan Brown given two extra games over John Sharp, but to be fair couldn't really get rid just before semi final match which would really have upset the players. When Paul Anderson and Keiron Purtill took over from Sharp the team started to play some really good football in the latter end of the season.
What I would like to know is, Was the same reasons present against Sharp as have been used against Brown. given that quite a few of the present players were there under Sharp. I agree with the fact that NB has done some good work with Giants and also agree that he has had one season too many.

When Jon Sharp first left our next game was Wakefield when Purtil and Anderson was in charge. Ok we lost that game but when they was warming up boy did they look fired up. Hope he can do it again but with a better result this time! Bring on Wakey!

"Anderson's Claret and Gold Army" get the vocal cords warmed up
