I agree what is going on with Darren Moore? We were always in games with Crosby but now unrecognisable. I heard today at the game he's listening to Smith and Jones who coincidently fell out with Crosby just before he was sacked.

Apparently Jones had a big fallout with Crosby after the Fleetwood game in the dressing room as he was fuming he wasn't on the bench. And then on the Monday Crosby was sacked Smith was left out of the team earlier in the day.The guys on the concourse today said they approached Flitcroft and Carol and shortly after Crosby was sacked.

If this is the case and its only an if then its no wonder we are doing so bad

Well if that’s True that’s he’s listening to 2 Below League2 Standard Players then he’s worse than I thought.

Smith and Jones wouldn’t be anywhere near the Team if Moore knew anything about Football which he clearly doesn’t.

The Same Old Excuse and Deluded View of the Game.

He obviously tactically is useless, certainly can’t Man Manage, can’t play players in their correct positions, can’t win and very very occasionally manages a Draw and can’t give a Decent Interview.

He is just taking the **** like the Owner, Director of Football and most, if not all of the Players.

Stop letting Carol off. <ovf censored> budgets. Backs the DOF. Tells fans they’re wrong she’s right. Sacks an experience CEO and employs her clown of a son. It’s her fault. Time to go and take David flitcroft and Darren more with you 

I agree with that carols buried her head in the sand for too long now , enough Is enough, Telling the fans to lay off Fraudcroft is like waving a red rag at a bull  Sack off Fraudcroft or lap it up in front of crowds of 3,000  if your not willing to show strong leadership stick the for sale sign up 👍

Carol is WOKE. Go woke go broke

Can we please have a definition of what WOKE is pleased...??

[DaneValiant]

Maybe Carol, whilst fawning over how Flitcroft managed to borrow a few teenagers off some Premier League for a few months, gave him a massive long contract and now it’s too expensive to get rid of him?

”You loaned in a 18 year old from Tottenham for 3 months? I don’t know how you pull off deals like this. I don’t want to lose you. How would 5 years sound?”

Am hoping that we here Jones is ill or injured because, even though the team generally were shocking, Jones was not better than one of those 'dome cones' the players used during the warm up.

Why did we sign Lowe and release Pett?

Cos Fraudcroft is shyte at recruitment 

[Brian Johnson]

For me, I did not want to blame her but because of her insistence on letting this carry on & on, relegation is firmly on Carol now for me

We had about 8 men behind the ball for both goals

League one , league two or Vanarama ? 🤔

We joke, but that wasn’t even League 2 standard today. I think a National League team would have beaten us today. Horrible performance and if that’s a sample, we’ll be in trouble next year as well. An absolute disgrace of a performance. 

Honestly, I think I’d stick the youth team out now, perhaps persevering with Ojo & Garrity and maybe Ripley & Debrah.

The teams today were poles apart. They were no great shakes but were quicker and more determined, had a clear idea of what they were doing, played quick little triangles to beat “the press” (haha) create space and run at us. Pretty simple really. We couldn’t (be @rsed to) do the basics like tracking / following runners and it could - sorry should - have been 5 or 6. It wasn’t actually a contest really after the now customary goal off a corner. And, I’ll remind you, their form has been shocking. But hey, we all knew Vale would help out in that regard didn’t we?? 

I’ve said before but everything about the club looks a mess, in fact, you could be forgiven for thinking Smurthwaite was back running the show. The fans have taken to more & more sarcastic chanting.

My support for Moore - and this is still not his mess - has however been shaken today, such was the nature of the performance. I felt the team actually looked reasonably balanced at the start, and was hopeful we’d follow up the “success” at Orient with another solid performance today. How wrong was I.

Do we even work on defending set plays?? Why did the players look like they were running through treacle compared to Oxford?? Why were we so comprehensively outplayed that he felt it necessarily to make a double-substitution 5 mins before HT (I’ve have gone triple actually and got Jones off as well).

Dan Jones game one of the memorable fullback performances, for all the wrong reasons. Lowe was exposed for what he is….a player that was released by a struggling L2 side. Debrah, so right-footed it beggars belief why is is played on the left, Massey was never in the game, Mighten was busy and threatening but defensively awful, Wilson trying to do it all himself, Chislet running around like a headless chicken….. I could go on. But I won’t, I’m starting to bore myself now.

I’m eagerly awaiting some sort of statement, comment, whatever because something is clearly amiss behind the scenes, it’s got to be.

We could put 11 behind the ball 

and it wouldn't make any difference 👍

My definition of woke is supporting something or someone which doesn't warrant being supported

How's that

Might be a silly statement but " have the players given up "
