    No worries mate. We've lost tonight and most of us aren't happy and emotions running high

    I will admit I have a real prejudice about the pappoo johns which others will disagree agree with.

    I agree with you completely, a training exercise, nothing more, the longer it goes on the bigger handicap it becomes, no two ways about it.

    "I think we've got to work on that level of steel and capitalize on the space."

    No worries then - all sorted.

    All talk but very little action - I’m rapidly becoming disillusioned.

    they are still ****e no matter who the hell is manager, weak, devoid of ideas right from defence Marco was talking about that on radio, sidewards , backwards Sanderson comes on and wonders what to do with the ****ing ball half wits at this club. This has been the ****tiest year for us supporters just when you thought 1987 could not get ****ing worse, well they can **** off.

    Are all league one keepers ****? Are our keepers standard of this league? If we want a better keeper will we have to get promotion first?

    Need to stop blaming LJ, hes doing the best he can with a set of players who are mentally weak. They're not up to the job of playing for a club as big as Safc, it's no coincidence that when the pressure us applied by the opposition we fall like a pack of cards. I'm one of the most laid-back fans around who doesn't do knee-jerk or drama, but it's so obvious we need players with a back-bone.

    Whilst I agree with the sentiment of the post , there is no excuse for LJ not to be performing better than Parkinson.

    He has a fair crack at the window in Jan. Money to spend. That's far better than the vast majority in this league. He should be personally doing better. Persisting with his 4-2-2-2 is silly. So many chopping and changing is silly.

    Is it possible it's a 'pre-season' for next season in L1 ...

    ... too many changes for liking whatever the case.

    However, just like Burge, I think LJ should be left to get on with the job and settle into that position.

    Ok let’s just work our way down the goalkeeper list, maybe we’ll hit lucky and Patterson will keep a dozen clean sheets between now and the end of the season. That’s what he’ll need to do to prove he’s better than Burge.

    I know one thing for sure, if the kid has a couple of bad games, this place, RTG and social media in general will rip him apart and I don’t think he’s ready for that at this stage of his career.

    Yeah he gets time but he is not allowed to be beyond criticism. He has performed poorly so far. Poor tactically and continued changing of personnel is making the team very disjointed.

    Needs to do better.

    Agree. We have a perfect team for 4-2-3-1 now.

    Has to go back to that for me.
