    After yet another utter ****e performance and result I am quickly losing faith in the managerial 'ability' of Cotterill

    I don't reckon we will be playing League one football come August

    What do you reckon?

    Sadly yes,the club is in major freefall with clueless board,clueless manager,and players that do not give a monkey.

    Nope but if we do I will blame SoD for not teaching the team to fight last season and the beginning of this one.

    Cue people tell me against Carlisle and Port Vale we was the best in the world

    Forget the size of the club,look at pompey and where they are,that is where we are heading.
    Plenty of Derbys next year whoppeeeeeeee.

    This club needs a change from top to bottom.

    I wasn't impressed when SC was appointed but he says and does the right things, at least in theory.

    But as the saying goes, you can't polish a turd and that's what we've become. Utter ****.

    Yes, I think we will go down, the playing part of the club are on it's knees and has been for the last 5 years through disastrous decisions ......But, I don't blame Mllen, Copps, McInnes, SOD or SC as they were all appointed by the ones that should be to blame.

    we are down, purely for the fact we have played like we played today every week for the whole season..

    11 games to go, why all of a sudden will our performances change??

    I've stated from the start of the season that we would struggle. We were barely League 1 quality last season, and the few players that had the quality to keep us in League 1 had already left. If we retained Adomah, Heaton, and Stead, still signed JET, and put some of our youngsters in the team if things started going bad we'd probably be mid-table.

    I honestly don't know what people expected to happen. Without financial investment, what did you really think was going to happen? Even with proven managers we can't even stay in the division, and before you slag off SOD he was a proven manager before he joined us.

    The problems are at the top. I don't even care about the level of football being ****. What I want is for Lansdown and co to answer for what's happening on the pitch, and to stop hiding behind an endless line of managers. They need to answer why, after all these years, a club in a city the size of Bristol cannot fund itself out of League 1 without relying on Lansdown picking up the bill.

    We've got Cotteril, and I'll support him until he is sacked. However, I'm really hoping that he becomes our first manager since Gary Johnson to start biting back when the board and his players don't perform.

    Very true SOD was castrated by our fans,he was following Lansdown instructions,slash,slash,slash.
    It has got worse under Cotterill.
    SoD took the flack for Lansdowns failures.

    For me, the real question that we should be voting on is this:

    If we are relegated, should the board go?

    No, I refuse to believe that we will go down, if I'm honest I don't want to and can't think of the prospect of going down.

    Watching the goals, bad marking, halfhearted closing down, mistake and clumsiness.

    If we go down then Cotterill should be sacked and someone bought in to try and build a team once the decent players have ****ed off and we are left with the useless ****e that won't leave.

    Isnt this what happened last year ?
    Bolasie, Adomah etc

    And who is going to want to buy players that cant keep their team in Div 1 ?
    No, SL should have to foot the wage bill and keep everyone apart from Baldock, who really should be in the Championship at the least. The rest should be made to stay and fight for the right to play football for a living

    I don't think Cotterill will be sacked, he's a friend of Keith Dawes don't you know.......!

    We may only be stopping for a single season in D2 the way it's going as we plummet further down.

    Oh for performance related wages for so called professional athletes we are lumbered with

    We need to put yesterday into context - we played a side with 5 straight wins who beat Forest last week.
    Look at the wages on the pitch for them compared to us - they get more or less 20,000 for home games we get 12,000
