Can’t believe how many people are worried about our reserve team getting beat. Personally I hope Mansfield stay ahead and dump us out of another lengthy cup run!
hopefully Lincoln or Oxford go out we can rearrange 1 of our postponed games if we haven't already
 

It’s abject atm. Mad how quickly it has turned into every other season at this level.

And when people point out reality it's their fault for not "believing / supporting" enough.
We've had a couple of seasons where our wage bill must have been more than the rest of the league combined and still not got promoted?
And people just shrug their shoulders and tell us we should "believe more".

This is our 4th season in League 1 and I have no faith in this team having faith in themselves to get us promoted.
Again.
 
Most of those Leeds ones under Cellino and they took, what, sixteen years to get back to the Prem. Aye, good comparison that.

Watford are just daft. It works for them but they’re the exception, not the rule.
How long did it take them to get promoted out of the third division considering they had a points deduction there? But nah you’re right, they’re definitely making poor decisions compared to us and they’d much rather be in our position. Totally agree.
 
Are we expecting automatic from this squad? I'm not so sure, our aim should certainly be in amongst it but an expectation of getting promoted with probably the weakest squad we've had since being down here.
You could be right, they look nowhere near a promotion team, so the higher ups may have told Johnson, playoffs is acceptable

No point sticking with the manager if he isn’t the right one. Our problem hasn’t been sacking them, it’s been poor recruitment for years

Not one manager we sacked would have kept his job in a comparable club/situation.

And this isn’t a sack Johnson post, I’m still in the “in” camp. Although my faith is being tested right now
