    4 at the back again the pair of fûcking knackers should be gone when the new coach/manager comes in as well.
    I don’t boo either but I can understand those that do, that was pathetic yesterday we need someone in quickly to help us stay in a play off position, I can’t believe it’s come that this season, fûck me man what a disaster this is turning into.

    He won’t know what you’re on about mate because he can’t read, well at least not the bit that says 4 at the back equals a loss.

    Incredible as it seems we're two points off second with a talented squad and still in with a chance of automatic promotion ...

    ... it'll need a manager with courage and determination but I think we have that.

    I think with the games in hand that we’re out of it now mate, obviously I hope not but I think it’s too much of an ask now. The players look shot, the new man needs to get some of the new players in the team and go 5 at the back with the high press. Stop pissing about in our half as well.

    We need someone to come in and organise the team starting with the back line. Pick a formation and stick to it. Give each player a job to do and stick to it. Get that right and there is no reason we cannot go into the play offs in good form

    I haven't seen anything to say that although it might explain his absence yesterday

    I agree, although I have drunken rants after some of our defeats I know the right man can get this squad going into the play offs on a high. And using @Smug in Boots optimism even an automatic place if one of the others slip up.

    With 16 games to go nothing is out of the question. It's whether the new man can galvanise this group in time. My best hope is hitting the plays offs in form for once and finally breaking that hoodoo

    Those still hopeful of automatic promotion are off their nuts IMO.

    He was awful, worst player on the pitch, closely followed by Evans.

    At one point in the second half I saw him marking their full back and following him around. We had the ball at the time. Didn't make any effort to get into space and show for the ball. Gooch the kept running up blind alleys because he has nobody near him.

    it wasn't 4 at the back it was 3/5 first half with Winchester shoehorned into a third centre half for some reason unknown to man. We switched to 4 at the back 2nd half and we actually looked like we might do something. We had 2 fit centre backs and we're playing bottom of the league at home so we decide to ask someone to play a role they have probably never played before. That shows to me how far our 2 coaches were out of there depth yesterday.

    On another note Neil and Embleton were poor yesterday. I'm prepared to give Neil a pass for now but I think he's been poor since the new year maybe has his head turned by PL interest I don't know. Embleton on the other hand I'm not sure what he really brings. Him and Pritchard occupied the same kind of spaces yesterday and Pritchard is head and shoulders above him.

    It didn’t look that way to me mate but I was on the lash and a hip flask of Honey Jack Daniels. .
    I agree with what you say on the rest of your post though.
