    Everyone wants their favourites in and they're all different ...

    ... this league is erratic, it's not just us.

    Charlton weren't that good, just lumpy balls into a lumpy number nine.

    Agree mate. It is easy after a defeat and a poorer performance to go too far one way. It is one result and performance, that is all. The players need to be confident now and brave enough to do whatever it takes for the win. Us supporters need to keep the faith to be honest and do our bit. If we were on the ground with the players now they would have my roar right behind them still.

    People in all sorts of professions use the language of their profession when talking about their profession. Be weird if they didnt. Jargon is supposed to be difficult to understand, nothing Johnson says is difficult to understand. We could I suppose step back to previous managers who offer no insights I suppose. I find it amazing you arent interested. I am really interested and find that interview revealing and he clearly knows what he needs to think about.

    It sounds like LJ roasted two or three players at half time.
    I think we’ll see a bit of an improvement on Tuesday.
    Hopefully the start of another run.

    Wright needs to come back in. His leadership alone at this stage is vital

    Absolutely spot on mate. If the players threw in the towel like one or two on here tonight we'd be f**ked.
    Doesn't mean you have to be happy about it. A bit of constructive criticism or encouragement never hurt anyone.
    But after a 14 match unbeaten run comments like "We are ****e man. Manager is crap and the players gutless" are pathetic.
    Same people in the stadium who boo the lads after 10 mins Same people who blame all their problems on other people.
    **** happens everyone makes mistakes (rarely deliberately)
    Like you say the magic happens when players make mistakes but are brave enough and confident enough to get back up go again.
    Exactly the time the team needs our support.

    Not only automatic but a play off win being ruled out. We win Tuesday we are 2 points behind, we were mid table under parkinson. Closed that gap without 2 recognised centre backs and a right back too. Big improvements need to be made 100%, but promotion is very much achievable

    The team won’t even know the criticism they are getting given stadiums are shut probably for years, it’s now a TV/stream sport. The fans can’t be blamed for this seasons failure.

    But you're negative even when we win. It's not about a poor performance / defeat. It's the constant pessimism and negativity about individual players which is uncalled for. And as for 'abuse', it's another indication of how ridiculously the top you are.

    Shrewsbury away we were dreadful - but bounced back to 14 unbeaten. No reason we won’t be doing another good run now

    For a start the season isn’t over so to call it a failure just sums up your whole negative attitude
    Yea stadiums are empty and they can’t hear you booing probably much to your annoyance But like all of us in these strange times players probably spend more time than they should on social media. Apart from their piers and manager it’s the only feedback they get So fans opinions on forums and Twitter etc really does matter Knowing fans have their back I suspect makes a big difference to them

    How has he “treated” those three? Diamond has, despite being treated in whatever way you suggest, just signed a new contract.

    we’ve lost 1 in 15. What exactly has LJ done wrong there? It’s not sparkling football but it’s effective. That’s all I’ve wanted this season. Not bothered how we play, only bothered about results. I also dint see Younger, Diamond or Neil in training so I’ll trust the manager
