We were 2 up after 88 mins against the bottom side the other week and that wasn't safe !

I'm still angry with myself for getting suckered in with his Fraudcast . I fell for the lot and felt sorry for the bloke after hearing his guff.

There's that old adage ' if they're good enough they're old enough '. Not sure that applies in League 2. It's brutal. Shorrock, Walters, Lomax would be like lost sheep. Dipepa obviously the pick of the bunch but again coming up against some hairy brute with 300 games under their belt from Crawley or Salford will be very difficult for him.

The defence is a complete car crash. Opening day defeat set the standard. Whatever combination we've used they've all been tripe. There is no words for some performances I've seen from Smith,Jones,Debrah and Grant. I've never got the Debrah love in. He's awful. Lowe is a league 2 squad player at best yet has probably played 30 games. Iacovitti has been ok and dreadful. He'd be my pick although not much competition. Clark a disastrous season. Not fair to include the young lads in the equation. Lopata a joke of a signing as was the Liverpool lad. And then we pull a rabbit out of the hat with a bizarre left back signing who has played 100 games in a decade. No idea what that's all about as it's only till the end of the season. All in all we've moaned about the lack of strikers when the other end of the pitch is full of carthorses who struggle to control a football or pass to a white shirt 5 yards away. Absolutely shocking. And most if not all are with us next season.

Pity we won then. Can't rewrite history but if that was true I'd of thought a new manager in December would of kept us up if he was backed in January.

I give you.....Liverpool 0 Palace 1. Shocks are commonplace in football. With belief.

I know mate. Wishful thinking on my part. Was hoping for amicable parting of ways.

You'll be fine mate against Harrogate and the like especially a night match . Be no queues those games.

Good post Joe. Part I don't agree with is the weakness of the league. I get that Stockport and Wrexham have bypassed us. But there are always flies in the ointment and surprises. Who'd of called Orient as Champions and Stevenage runners up last season. You only have to look at our friends from Swindon since the play off semi to see how it can go. I sadly anticipate a minimum of 5 years again meandering around before we are back. It's the Vale cycle. By which time another 5 years of my life has passed and I'm in my 60's. Success next season seems a forlorn hope to me with this sad bunch of losers. I hope I'm wrong obviously but weaker league or not there are still plenty of candidates to go up. Cheltenham,MK Dons , Doncaster who are ending the season tremendously. We need another reset which will cost a packet. I don't want to turn up in August with Jones,Lowe,Massey,Loft, Debrah,Grant etc still at the club .

She cited the Plymouth model as one to follow. However they had a season of consolidation. Then missed the play offs on the last day, followed by the title the season after.

As with Brian i called it in May. As soon as we appointed Crosby. I'm not going to trawl through threads to find it. Words to the effect of he's our manager now I'm fully behind him , but there's only one way this is ending.

0-3. Another team some expected would be cannon fodder like Exeter. Don't know if they are still horrible and physical. Either way they'll have too much. 25 months since a home league win under the lights. I anticipate that will stretch to 28 or 29 months after Tuesday. Can't wait for this abysmal season to end. 3-3-12 reads our last 18 homes. Utter disgrace to the shirt.

Oh well . Another to add to the list of calamities.

Yes . Coincidence?

Throw Chesterfield in the mix who I anticipate will challenge for successive promotions.

They also lost two really big players. Nombe and Brown. Staggering how we've ballsed this up.

The more I think about this collapse today. Were it Pompey or Derby who came from 2 down to beat us I'd still be fuming but accepting that they are going for promotion. To actually do it against a mid table experimental team with nothing to play for is an achievement in itself. A laughing stock you've made us today . Shame on you.

Only just spotted that Altrincham are in the play offs. That would be a local ish game. I'm already salivating at the prospect.

Wouldn't be surprised if we finish 23rd .

Convinced he'll walk . Be proclaimed as mutual agreement.

People are upset mate because this is of our own doing. This was so avoidable fans saw this coming months ago. Mismanaged from the very top has caused this demise. Didn't need a crystal ball in November to see what was possible.

Maybe she can stick 7 million on us going down at 1/7 with Bet365.

Started off probably with the words ....Yeah no. Pet hate of mine 🙃.

1/7 now with the bookies .

I'm still waiting for someone to say we can still catch Shrewsbury.
