[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

i just want it over, but i reckon we win this then lose at home to Cambridge just for sh***  and giggles. 🙃

[League one relegation watch]

Lady Luck and Mr Momentum are hurtling towards one of the bottom 6 sides, we have to make sure we are the team that grabs it. Form, attitude, mentality, nothing else matters now it is purely down to luck and momentum for the next 8 games.

Big ask, but if we can somehow get it to Cambridge Utd at home winner stays up what a final game of the season that would be.

[Will you renew if DF stays?]

It's a tricky one. I can't make all the games so financially i would be better off paying on the day as opposed to renewing, but I always looked upon a season ticket as a donation to the club and also ensuring tickets for the bigger games, of which there will be none next season if we go down. I am leaning towards one more season, but as I have said in earlier posts this will not be as automatic a decision as normal. 

Regarding DF if there is an honest performance review at the end of the season, regardless of previous performances from January this year he has failed and he will be culpable if we are relegated.In any other industry where the financial consequences and loss of customers have such a negative impact on a company he would be fortunate to survive.

[Fleetwood (H) match thread - 27th Feb]

After the defensive error by Debrah, Fleetwood should never have touched the ball in our half for the remainder of the the game. As much as I hate the phrase our game management was awful. How many other teams would have S***housed their way through the last 5 minutes. 

[Lincoln City (H) match thread - 24th Feb]

I don't think the players are not trying, they are mentally broken and unable to function. Whether a win can put that right is questionable, but the longer it takes to arrive the worse it is going to get. That's why the build up play is ponderous they are trying to be perfect and not acting on instinct. 

[Season ticket renewals]

I have a bit of a jaunt for home games. Easy to be motivated when we are playing teams like Pompey, Derby,Bolton and the likes, less so for Crawley, Wimbledon and Grimsby.For the first time in a long time it will not be an automatic decision. I just feel sad and frustrated that we are seemingly squandering our promotion by repeating last years mistakes. I don't care whether Flitcroft stays or goes to be fair, but it would be nice for him to admit the process failed regarding a striker/wingback over the last two/three transfer windows and not release a podcast saying how hard he works. That surely is a given.

Bookies are notoriously clueless in next manager markets.

you could put £10 on any of the names on that list and they would be odds on favourite immediately

We'll see what happens once ST seats not sold are released on 5th December. Hope sales are going as you say though. Fingers crossed makes the club put more facilities in place to increase capacity in the paddock.

Mine will be released on Dec 5th as I can't make it so that is at least one that will be available. I hope who ever snaps it up has a great night.

I have already submitted my letter to the " you are not a proper supporter group" 🤣 explaining that i am on a pre christmas jolly.

I am absolutely gutted.

It wasn't played Xmas week though which makes a huge difference.

It wasn't played Christmas week you are right it was played on 4th Jan after Christmas and New Year when people hadn't been paid for at least two weeks and sold out.
