    We are the only club that didn’t sack him man.

    Folk say he did well at Norwich, well he took them up (as everyone did every 2 years at that time), then down, and they were 10 points off the playoffs when they sacked him.

    He did great for us, but then anyone with half a clue would have just straightened up what we had. Still needed playoffs with best squad in the league.

    He is at best a bang average manager.

    Just how shyte do we have to get!!

    We are terrible, and really awful to watch.

    There’s not a cat in hells chance we win the playoffs. I doubt we’d even get to Wembley.

    But the manager will refuse to see it, as always!!

    Don’t agree, there’s been 2/3 times his run has been avoided here

    Pulling out of tackles and strolling round the pitch

    can they all of sudden put that right come the semi final?

    Rigg has been completely in effective in the role behind the striker, it's so obvious surely RLB can see it?

    I'd be sticking Watson on the left and Le Fee in the middle second half. But I know that won't happen.

    Roberts has been a waste of a player

    got to trust and hope so. Nothing we can do about it! Got to get behind them and hope it all clicks and works.

    we don’t need a winger mate

    it blocks pathways

    or something like that

    it’s football, not a crèche and inside player development should never come ahead of club progress

    I’d like to think we tried in Jan, but think that adingra attempt for example was just januarys version of the supposed bid for orban in the summer.

    the biggest laugh about the adingra thing was that it involved Watson leaving which he has anyway and just an adingra loan.

    Watson gone on to leave at an even worse time, he’s a good fee but not ideal.

    with recruitment speakman gets a pass, defo more good than bad but there had notable holes and the topic has been done to death

    At this rate I think I’d take Cirkin playing on the left wing and Le Fee in the middle just to get Rigg on the bench and Le Fee in his preferred role.

    We've got a Cat in hells chance of being promoted. Absolutely pathetic the way we've ended this season.
