Striker
Wasting my breath here but always feel this place needs a bit of a reality check.

Nobody is happy we aren’t kicking on. Not one supporter, player or coaching staff member believes we are performing to our full capability but the reality is there is a hell of a lot still to play for.

Missed the first half so can’t really comment but going front the second half we looked positive going forward just lacked a bit of composure when necessary. Will that improve, 100% positive it will if Ross finds his best XI and sticks with it.

Oh and fuck right off with the Jack Dross bollocks, idiotic and embarrassing that people are already naming him this and calling for his head. He should shoulder some blame for the failure to put teams away, he appears to be the stop them from scoring and we have a good chance of winning type manager. That hasn’t quite worked of late and losing our most potent striker hasn’t helped. Grigg will get his goals but to come into a team half way through a season is tough.

I do think that some on here believe we are still a Premier League/Championship side that somehow found themselves in League 1. Well sorry but all we are is a big club rebuilding a team in the third tier. Should we be doing better? Maybe? Are some players underperforming? Yes? Does the manager need to rethink how we set ourselves up? Yes.

But that’s it. Our players aren’t shit, they are League 1 players. The manager isn’t over his head he just needs a rethink and work with the players in training to find a solution. We need to go up I Understand that and it will be a massive failure if we don’t. A lot still to play for though so I’m not going to start hitting the panic button just yet.

Agree with this but we've got 58pts! If we only had 48 this place would have spontaneously combusted!

To me if the manager doesnt know his best team or formation at this stage in the season we as fans need to worry because its been awful since November. Slow play, no pressing, barely any chances created in comparison to our rivals for promotion(other than tonight).

this is the concern for me we lack identity/philosophy/identifiable style and seem unmotivated

Just brought in 4 players. Lost our main goal threat. Does Morgan or Gooch start. The O’Nein conundrum, settled back 4. Does he now go 2 up top.
 
We could be in a much worse situation right now if things hadnt gone our way in the summer. However we are playing shit football and have drawn way too many games after a positive start its disappointing.
 
Manager needs sacking. Isn’t up to it tbh. Promotion should be the minimum acceptable standard with this squad, which we are just drifting away from

Why would sacking a manager when still in a strong position to achieve promotion be a good thing? Who would come in to change that? 48pts to play for, only lost two all season we just need to find a solution and Ross should be given that opportunity
 
You can put any spin on any stats you want. The fact is the team are playing shit and dropping too many points .put a stat up for that then and out a positive spin on it
