Purse needs his p45. Crazy how he is in charge of our U21s.

It’s absolutely shocking he is their manager

Apparently we get the best crop of youngsters in the whole of Wales.

We played a village side today and struggled badly.

He has to go.

Calm down everyone that is virtually a brand new u21 side mostly 17/18 year old’s with a few experienced players

Most of the last 2 years u21 team are now in our first team squad so we must be doing something right

His record is terrible with the U21s. When he somehow stepped up with the first team last season the u21s improved with the other two coaches. I've watched games under him and it was really poor. Players looked confused listening to him. As for his laughing and smiling on the touchline when we were losing that's just unforgivable. I can't think of another professional club where it would be tolerated. Only at the circus!

Shrewsbury have a good academy, think they beat us in a final last season.

The fact we went to penalties isn’t that surprising.

The players deemed as the best crop of youngsters have been with the first team, and played no part in this game.

Purse however is surprisingly still here and I have no idea why.

The results whilst he was part of the first team (U21 results) were significantly better than they were when Purse had control.

I’ve said it a few times and I stand by it that Purse likely has a hold over the club for something or other.

I remember a time the u21s or used to be reserve matches held absolutely zero interest to fans.

I am not defending Purse at all but slot of the u21 are now in 1st team....u18 within this team.

A win is good

Yes, and 7 of the U18S were in the U21 team squad at Ammanford, so that is not a bad result.

Still not happy with Purse.
