    Season is limping to a pathetic ending. I'm usually optimistic but I'm dreading the final games. Roll on next season .

    Problem with that is, it could up end the same way as Jobe.

    Another big chance lost to-day by our stand-in coach again playing the wrong players in the wrong positions, Start Rigg before Jobe ffs you effing mutt.

    Also, and this is going to sound massively like I’m overreacting, but take Clarke out of our team and I don’t think we get promoted out of league one, let alone the championship

    I said mid week that I'd be happy with mid table after the way it's been going. Tell you what, the bottom half is a tight as an otters pocket. We're 9 points off Stoke in 22nd. Now it's easy to say "no way", but we loose out next game and the 4 below us win, all of a sudden we're 15th and genuinely looking over our shoulder. There's lots of football to play but I'll tell you what, we need to get our f**King fingers out and sort it because this is relegation form this. Absolutely shocking. No "striker" and our only threat is injured and probably away in the summer. Also its easy to say "think of where were" but at some point we need to move past that train of thought and start to ask, what's happening?

    Garbage. And it was all predictable that it would fizzle out this way. The belief that people have on the model and Speakman has now finally dwindled.

    Well no, if he plays well keep him in if not drop him. Pick your best players for me and at
    The moment Jobe is no where near being one of them.

    I believe in the “model” still. I just don’t think we are doing it very well. Intent - great. Execution - awful.

    You get what you pay for at the end of the day, weve signed kids for peanuts and freebies.
    Look at our squad today and put a value on it?

    Its no suprise is it really. Our penny pinching is costing us massively

    Game was there for the taking they were poor. Shocking tactics imo, **** knows why Mundle and Styles are starting as our wingers. Ba beat their RB every time he had the ball, Mundle didn’t beat him once.

    I dont mind the model at all, the model has signed some quality players the issue is they went with too many unproven championship players in back to back windows

    Anyway im done - enjoy your weekends

    Hume holds his a run for a second after the Hemir/Neil one-two and/or Hume puts it front of Styles, it's a different story. We weren't much worse than them. I'm buying into this doom and gloom. We're not going up but we're not ready.

    I definitely already regret saying we won’t get relegated now. I can see us not getting another point so at that rate it doesn’t really matter how many teams are behind us as they’ll all pick up stuff

    Mundle didn’t try to, he never once got
    The ball and went for it at the defender.
