    The upward curve we're on is still there.

    This is just a painful bump on the way.

    Problem for me is on balance of play we should have won our last 3
    But we have become slow and predictable. You can look at the stats and say we did well but in all honesty we rarely look like scoring
    Wykes headers have dried up and we are relying on a bit of magic from McGeady.
    His shot goes in and we might have won but it would be papering over the cracks.

    All the drive has gone out of our game.
    Was full of hope about a month ago but we have reverted to a team who seems happy to pass it around at the back and
    lump in aimless crosses. Is it the manager or is it the players.
    I've no idea. but this is 4 games now and we just keep doing the same thing.
    If we are to rescue anything from the playoffs a big reshuffle is needed we are drifting.

    Our biggest mistake this season was not getting a new keeper in January. Looking very costly now, pathetic.

    i thought we did ok, 6 weeks ago we'd have put 2 or 3 of those chances in the net. we've had our'bad spell' at the worst possible time, just need to get it out of our system asap. it could be a good thing in a way, get top 2 out of our minds and re-set for the playoffs. Glass half full.

    Didn't think we would be in with a chance of automatic pla e before Christmas and I suppose back then we would have taken a playoff place.

    Hopefully we can hold on to one in the final few games.

    We have blown the auto place now for sure.

    I'm really hoping it is the players who've hit the wall and not the managers constant tinkering that's come unstuck.
    I like LJ and wish him well but I think there is a big difference from this season and our failure under Jack Ross
    and that's the new owner. We have a proper structure in place at the club now with funds behind it.
    With the contract situation we know the team needs a complete rebuild but I think everything will be on the table including LJ's position as head coach.
    I think KLD and his advisors will be looking very closely at our last 5 games.
    You can learn more about people when the ****s hitting the fan than you can when things are going well
    Hope LJ can turn it around. I think he's a good fit for the structure but he's got to show his worth now.

    Don't let it get you down mate.

    I was sorry to see him go. He did a similar job as Amby Fogerty in the 60s, supporting defenders, supporting attackers and scoring the occasional goal. I couldn’t understand why so many were against him - because he was home grown perhaps?

    After that I’d actually take Blackpool in the play offs. Played them off the park. Lucky ****s

    Well - at least it wasn't DJ Campbell who scored.

    Lost our chance with Big Sam. He’s happy where he is and is going to be offered a new contract for next season.

    You know you could actually support The Mighty Tigers instead. 25 times we would not have spoilt your weekend.

    Just saying.

    I'm shocked at the way the results have dried up. A few weeks ago I was telling everyone we would win the league. I still think there's not much to beat in this division and the biggest issue in the playoffs will be ourselves.

    I'm at a loss. 1 defeat in 14 then 3 in a week
    Need to find a way to score again. we look stale and predictable.
