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.

Turd polishing. Vast improvement needed, still might not be enough. Not getting promoted would be a failure from the current manager.

It’s the winning mentality that is important, makes no difference what the competition is.

Well it does as it’s effectively a different side we turn out and the last two games have been against bairns.

The ‘cup semi’ line is borderline propaganda. It’s a competition that we entered our junior side in last season.

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

Bet you think we could court morinho... judge Ross and the lads after the end of the season. We make playoffs and I’m happy him leading us to promotion the next season if we don’t hit it this one.

I’d rather judge him after 13 appalling draws in 30 games and a brand of football not fitting the preseason title favourites - we should be steamrolling this division tbh

The reality check is the FACT that we should be running away with this league.

Why? Because we were such a force in the championship? The reality check is we have had a basket case of a club the last few years and this season the owners, manager and players have done incredibly well to arrest that fall. We don’t have an automatic right to be a premier league team, we have to work hard, knuckle down and earn it.

Perhaps our squad isn’t as good as you think and hadn’t been since day one. It has a lot deficiencies even for this division

Cringeworthy claiming a semifinal in the checkatrade is something to be proud of. It’s a cup for reserves and kids ffs.

Excellent post mate. Though I’m sure it will be lost on some of the clueless duckeggs on here.

Really? Who’s is better? Who else has spent £6m in this league? Who else was 5-4 on preseason for promotion?

Other teams in this league would dream of some of the players and resources we have, but we have a manager that can’t use them
