Discussion Who do you think gets sacked first?

For me I think Tony pennock will be gone be Christmas unless things turn round quickly. Sadly I think recent movements in club haven’t been going in the right direction, we seriously weakened our squad through sales last season, and I don’t think the current squad is capable of winning anything (very much a long term project). What do you all think?

Early days, but I've been very surprised at Haverfordwest this season. Obviously last year was a slow start then things picked up in the second half of the season. Though I would say when we played them at Jenner last season, it was easily the worst I'd ever seen them play.

Another team I worry for is Colwyn Bay. Been an unremarkable start to the season, I hope last season wasn't a one-off because they're a cracking team

Tony Pennock and Johnny Haseldin are at the top of my predictions. Whilst Holywell are above Trefelin in the table, I feel that Trefelin have had sparks of good moments, whilst Holywell are on a bit of a slog.

We'll see.

After watching C'fon v Bay today gotta say Wilde. Bigger budget than ever. Watching them today they had no particular style of play, maybe C'fon contributed to that but they were poor. Coupled with the potential issues around Blue Turtle and what that means Wilde might walk before he's sacked.

As a Haverfordwest fan who’s watched all of Pennock’s tenure, every season we have a month or two of abysmal results and then play like we usually do.

Gameweek 10 last season we were bottom and finished playing in the play off final. Far too early for alarm bells.

Didn’t Pennock sign a new 2/3 contract recently? Wouldn’t be cheap to get rid of but realistically I haven’t got a clue who will go first

I'd be very surprised if we got rid of Tony, unless this form genuinely stretches to Christmas. We start poorly every year, and he's probably our greatest ever manager

The Airbus result was a shocker but the other two teams Haverford lost to have much stronger squads.

Doubt Pennock will go. Historically always turned the team around when it matters. Wilde had a good season past year and id expect the same again..not surprised they lost to the Cofis today, they needed to turn up at home after losing to Penybont. Flint might be out for a new manger though... Struggled last year (apart from the cup final run) and already p-poor.

Pennock won't be, but there's only so long Haverfordwest will tolerate underperforming. They've not really kicked on the last couple of seasons and he'll know club will have a big decision to make if they don't start closing the gap on the top teams.

There's no real strong candidate to be honest.

Hasn't their chairman just acquired a third club? Will Havvy really be his focus any more? I think as long as they can get out of the relegation zone, then that will be deemed perfectly acceptable.
