    Exactly , or keep the other side out . There are 2 main things to do in football and we can't do either . Nothing positive about that at all

    Its actually Slutskyesque, but without us scoring.... we used to concede hat loads 80 odd minutes on...

    Only so many times you can say we are unlucky. We clearly need to change something.

    We don't take our chances when we are on top. I don't think Martin had one decent cross to run into tonight. But we simply don't take our chances. Players who we know can score.

    Something has to change. We can't keep doing the same things and expecting different results.

    We know the blame lies with the owners for the ****e squad we have now. We all know that there aren’t enough players of quality or indeed just not enough players. But, if we carry on like this we are truly shagged. I would sooner lose every week just going for it. We just aren’t strong enough to close out low scoring games. And as to Mr ****ing positive I am ****ing sick of hearing it.

    We didn't always score loads under Slutsky, different squad now anyway.

    Maybe sacking Adkins will be the Allams parting 'gift'....

    As others have already said. Little or no attacking threat and inability to keep a clean sheet (not bothered about who has gone off/come on). We are relegated unless there is a dramatic change. Only good thing is Papas asking price will have to come down.

    Put the blame on him, not their fault then.

    I live round the corner in Portishead but couldn't make it coz I didn't get back to bristol in time. Hats off to those who made it. Although we know the two toss pots are to blame and ehore would rather drive a Ferrari around in the Italy , Adkins should be getting more from these players. God knows who else would come here as a replacement, but the rumoured take over can't come soon enough. I'm just more angry at myself for not being angry at the whole sorry situation. At least in the 90s you could take the piss with our Dolan total football, and we had some good amusing chants.

    Listening to Adkins he knows his time is up.
    No false positivity so hopefully he knows something we don't.

    Hopefully we’ll get new owners this season, and if we do I don’t care what league we’re in.

    It seems the usual pattern happened again, conceding in the last few minutes. I'm not sure whether we are any worse than other clubs, but it sure feels like it.

    Adkin's needs to go quickly now, as if not we are going to be so far adrift it will be difficult to claw our way back.

    Would make absolutely no sense whatsoever to them, as it would cost them money.

    I'd like to see Adkins given a fair chance, then let's see what he can or can't do. He's a decent bloke and a decent manager who's tried his best to steer a way through the continuing **** storm, and like others in more recent times, seems to be suffering more than his fair share of bad luck with injuries on top of the **** hand he's been dealt by the twats. He knew what he was coming into to a degree, but he didn't know he would be shat all over so badly during the summer and after (players, back room staff, continuing off field ****) ..... but he just got on with it. Understandable that people are frustrated and pissed off, and inevitably he takes some of the brunt of it, but a lot (not all) of it is unfair if you step back and look at it objectively.
    New owners next month, hopefully reasonable investment in January to secure survival, and the rebuilding can begin.
    Unfortunately I don't think he'll be given the chance, but hope I'm wrong.
