    Surprised it was that one given the farcical state of the pitch. Rotherham sounded a lot worse. Interesting couple of weeks coming up for us.

    My life just keeps on getting better.

    Wrexham, who at half time were winning 1-0 against Harrogate, pushed on magnificently under Parkey and snatched a 1-2 defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Co-Owner is Deadpool, manager is Deadbeat.

    Few clubs looking for managers now, KLD needs to act quickly if we’re going to make a change.

    If he has lost the players, which to me is unprofessional unless there was a specific reason, then there is no point him staying as they will never be back on his side.

    I'm about as ITK as a rock at the bottom of the Mariana Trench so pure speculation, but if it was the Portsmouth game there might have been a...difference of opinion about who was to blame and maybe Johnson wasn't shy about letting them know what his was.

    Got 2 weeks now before next game, get him sacked and get a tough coach in to work with the players before Ipswich game

    Some task that mind.<laugh>

    The Geads melt down was a strange one, he was playing 90 mins game after game when a good manager/coach would have eased him through to get the most out of him long term, I thought LJ had at last seen sense and used him well in the cup game but no next game he started, and was at fault for the defeat , was it his fault or the managers. I dont think LJ is disliked in fact he is a likable character and I am sure a nice guy, but his judgement is woeful he is not cut out to be a manager but he might be a good coach. Maybe Speakman should bring in a fresh face to boost the club either replacing LJ or to compliment him the present set up is wobbling and could wreck our season. Its not too late but its looking touch and go atm..

    I’m at a loss mate
    Really thought we had turned the corner but we suddenly look worse than ever not even a slight dip in form a complete collapse
    Given it was the first round of the FA cup and given the level of the opposition Today was probably one of if not the worst result in the clubs history
    Something has to change

    Sorry I was been surreptitiously, perhaps too subtlety, sarcastic.

    It's all very well for people to claim Johnson has lost the dressing room but it's easy to apportion blame.

    Any blame for the last 5 games lies squarely at Johnson’s door. Whatever else has happened he is the bloke who gets paid to pick the team, work out the tactics and motivate the players.

    All of which have been a shambles.

    The blame always lies with the manager, but not always the cause.

    The players today were paid to play for the club and the supporters ...

    ... they didn't.

    So he picked a team which looked excellent and won 4-0. And it’s his fault for keeping that winning team for the next game, which we lost? Don’t get that at all. Why were we so good at first then? Same manager and coaches. Everyone loving life. Always the managers fault when players down tools!!

    Fully agree with the downing tools as that’s **** but Johnson really has one tactic and style of play. When it works we look good…although ropey defensively still.

    Now those tactics appear to have been found out by opponents and he doesn’t appear to have an answer.

    Jesus wept. Blaming is fans for bringing confidence down on fan forums.

    That’s usually a nail in the coffin when the manager starts blaming the fans…incredible.
