  1. Unfortunately these pay offs are likely to come of the player budget.
  2. Easier said than done. You can’t bin off a contracted player unless you either pay them off or agree to a transfer for them.
  3. Pep wouldn’t have kept this squad up! Were you at Fleetwood away? Crosby had to go after that debacle. I really don’t blame DM for our catastrophic season but if he stays it’s clear he ain’t going to have a lot of time or patience from the fans to turn things around. I suggest he starts by being honest with the fans and just says how abysmal this squad is.
  4. It really isn’t a case of a lack of effort it’s just zero quality and in simple terms, we just ain’t good enough!
  5. Totally disagree but everyone is entitled to their opinion even a minority one.
  6. You can’t judge him on a free agent signing - be sensible. In order to find out he’s a loser you first need to give him a chance. Pep wouldn’t have kept this shower up!!
  7. Firstly I cannot condemn a Manager who hasn’t even had one transfer window during his tenure. Secondly I don’t blame him going down the tunnel at FT as who wants a load of abuse from fans - I’d do the same! No managerial appointment is guaranteed, all you can go on is past performance and other than Huddersfield, he has a reasonable record. The reason we will be relegated is abysmal recruitment by the previous regime. We decided to offload the likes of Worrall, Pett, Hall, Proctor and Benning for far inferior players.
  8. Unless Uche was injured to sub him for Weir was ludicrous. As soon as he went off we just couldn’t hold the ball up. I actually thought he did well yesterday and in a game we had to win, he was essential to us seeing the game out.
  9. Although I agree with the majority of what’s a well crafted post, she didn’t purchase the club debt free. There were creditors that transitioned with the sale and it did cost her close to £5m to purchase. Carol clearly has her heart in the right place but being the top person, does need to acknowledge the debacle of this season before we can move on. Hopefully she will reflect on the mistakes made, learn from them so we can rebuild and come back in a better position.
  10. Two decades of under investment? I’d say it’s closer to five but you’re spot on about VP being a money pit. In an ideal world we should move to a new build stadium with a 12k capacity similar to Rotherham. If our our useless City council got involved, it could also become a proper ‘community stadium’.
  11. He may be off or when the dust settles he wish to become a true legend and stay. He is one of only an handful who deserves to stay.
  12. What contrast! First half one of our best 45mins of the season, second half one of our worst. The Weir for Uche sub was baffling. See you all in L2!
  13. Well last night has made things clearer, one from Cheltenham, Burton or us will survive and two won’t. We need to win a minimum of two of our home games which, when you’ve only won one this year, ain’t going to be easy especially as we are scoring well under a goal a game. Rightly or wrongly I can’t help thinking last night’s team selection had Saturday in mind with some of our better attacking options not starting. Whether DM called it right will become apparent at the weekend. Personally, I can’t see us beating Wycombe as they look a decent side in good form but we need to go out to set up to win every home game we now have left.
  14. He will be back for the Burton game next Tuesday.
  15. I think 7pts will be enough if we can get them.
