    As bad as Ipswich away by all accounts. Soft goals. Desperately need a centre back in January

    No we're ****. We have to admit it.
    It's like having an alcohol problem.
    No-one can help you until you admit it.

    Don't get me wrong, they deserve to win this, we can't complain but 3 goals flatters them

    This pattern that has repeated itself far too often this season, at least its not an old boy who is giving us a kicking this time, it just feels like it. We urgently need a defence to start with, at least three new players of top half championship standard introduced into our back five would be a start, this is a vital part of a root and branch reconstruction required to this squad, Coleman needs to be backed big time in this window, otherwise we are up the creek without a paddle.

    Not from what I'm listening to.
    It flatters our defence that it's not more.

    If you really think Short is gonna back Colman in the transfer market, think again coz it won't happen.
    Even if we do get £20m for Kone, NDong & Catts, Colman will be expected to buy a new team for £5m.
    We're fooked a tell ya, FOOKED!!!
    In almost 50 years of following SAFC I have never know us be so s h I t!!
    Doc 1 awaits unless Short sells up in the next week.

    Only positive today is that Burton, Bolton and Birmingham all lost. Grim.

    Aye, grim that we have to look for the failures of the likes of these to make us feel a little better

    I just beat you into the ground mate, started going regularly in 1950's at a time when we had never been relegated, and as you so rightly say we are at rock bottom, but we have I think been here once before and we hit the third tier running, we may have to do this again before it gets any better, recently re-watched Jermain Jenus old interview in which he more or less spells it out, and he may well be right on the button, hope not of course but its going to be close.

    Agree about going for it but at the mo there aint 3 worse teams than us. I know what your saying but that today was absolutely pathetic so can we get out of it. I would like to think so but need a massive change of personnel or a massive mental atitude change from our current crop of fraudsters and I cannot see either happening.

    Problem is the playing squad not the dug out. Short gambling with the future of our club yet again. It's ok for him though, we'll turn on Coleman eventually and he has another ready made excuse nice packaged from the fans. We give him the deniability. Grayson should never have gone, more than adequate for this league, the problem is this squad has more holes than a sieve and has been this way for years. Hopefully this time when the heat is put on Coleman we back him and stand up to Short instead and grow a backbone as a fan base instead of taking the easy option which so far has never solved a thing by baying for more managers blood.

    Are you in favour of a fan boycot, as this is the only way i can see that fans can put pressure on the owner.

    Up on a mountain way out of town
    It's saturday night and the folks gather round
    bring a little bottle but you hold on tight
    it's a hillbilly rock and roll night
    Yeah

    hiya all say Ma and Pa
    everybody's out in the yard
    somebody's calling out go cat go
    it's uncle Earl on his old banjo

    CHORUS Do the hillbilly rock, the hillbilly roll
    stand in line and away we go
    a little bit of moonshine, a little bit of meat
    do the hillbilly rock and roll with me
    Yeah

    Grandpa's sittin' in his rocking chair
    and grandma's pretty when she let's down her hair
    her hair comes down, her dress goes up
    she grabs a fiddle and she peddles to the vibe

    CHORUS

    Well everybody dance, everybody sing
    squeeze that box and make it ring
    here's a little bitty gift from Ma and Pa
    Johnny be good it's his first guitar

    CHORUS
    CHORUS

    We seem more effective, at least energy wise, with the youngsters in the team. Introduce Beadling Maja and Asoro from the start with a more experienced bench. Why have an academy as these youngsters have done it at their level so if they ain't good enough for premiership or championship - jettison for some other team to reap the benefits.
