Will you be giving up on footy completely or maybe start supporting Stoke?

Dm said in his presser that they might still have been tired from Friday. Really?! The mantra at the start of the season was to be fitter and stronger. Poor.

He's trying to keep the players on side for the rest of the season, I'd rather him of said we can't defend and can't score for toffee other than that we did orate 🤨😉😉😬

Tired what about the poor buggers who have watched every game this season ,paid there money travelled and watched 21 defeats out of 40 .

I'm.not angry I'm just flabbergasted how they can give hope then take it away because there tired ought go do manual work for 40 hrs a week since age of 16 then they be tired not kicking a ball around .

We have left ourselves a mountain climb .

The table doesn't lie after 46 games our fate be sealed one way or another .

Disappointed they lost but more disappointed in the way they lost .

We had everything to gain Northampton had nothing play for so that's major annoying

It's a shame some of them aren't playing for their contracts!

Wigan (A)

Peterborough (A)

Exeter (H)

Wycombe (H)

Bolton (A) 

Cambridge (H)

In my opinion we get nothing away from home from any of those 3.

Home games are massive.

Not at all. The bottom five have all lost so it’s onto Saturday. Need a win at Wigan though.

My comment above referred to their second goal. It wasn't insinuating that we're down. All still to play for, but I do believe we'll need 50 points which obviously means another 11 points in final 6 games. A tough ask from this current team!

Steve, if the players were tired from Friday does that mean that we’re now going to target the winnable games in our last six remaining games and look at damage limitation in the Peterborough and Bolton games. It’s a risky strategy, I’d rather go more defensive in those two games.

Well Playa, if I was Moore I would be targeted every game! We can't be in a position where it's acceptable to consider a game as ok to lose. Everyone is beatable. For some reason today the team reverted to playing tippy tappy out from the back and passing back from halfway, everything we've been doing to get into this situation and conversely everything we didn't do on good Friday. Moore is a motivator, he is someone that can get a tune from a team, look at his sheff team last year in the playoffs. The very big problem we have is that it might not be possible to get a tune out of these players if the games are too close together!

I’ve just looked at Cheltenhams fixtures 

Carlisle Bristol rovers and burton to play yet 

The rest are tough though 

Cheltenham v Burton, draw would be a good result

I was physically stiff, sore and tired on Sunday from a heavy delivery shift on Saturday night but IAM in my 50's, not an athlete, not got a team of professionals managing my diet, lifestyle, fitness, minutes etc and the very lowest paid earns more than 4x my weekly wage and I work 7 hours a shift not 2 hours (being generous for warm ups etc).

I get that DM is shielding the players, TBF that's what he should be doing.
