The happy clappers say where we are is good and better than expected. Which it is.

The realists say we’ve fallen off a cliff which we have and at best the result is a battle for the play offs.

This side isn’t good enough to get promoted. Does anyone seriously think any differently? I could go on but I won’t but we don’t have a goal scoring striker.

Not quite there yet, but not too far away in terms of personnel, a while yet in terms of experience. They remind me of Brown's complete rebuild side, when we missed out by a whisker two seasons running before finally making it.
 
Played some really attractive football. As I predicted beyond our best 11, the squad is threadbare quality wise and we're ultimately dropping off because of that.

It's disappointing as a slightly more robust mentality when we've been ahead would have us nigh on top of the league still.

Got to start taking some criticism in my opinion. His in game management and lack of subs is baffling. Playing O’nien left back when we have a left footed defender in Alese on the bench. Why not play Isidor and Connolly together when chasing the game and nothing to lose? His set piece routine which to be fair stink Of Dodds and the other gonk are nothing short of a disgrace. Cant keep playing well for 45 then coming out second half and looking shattered and void of ideas

I never cease to be amazed by the shortsighted knee jerking of some. We’ve had injuries and suspensions, probably haven’t got the points from the past half dozen games we should have, a missed penalty tonight and an offside on Tuesday that could easily have gone our way. Sure, RLB is not immune from scrutiny but it should be proportionate scrutiny. He has to reorganise his defence again now next week. He has a week to plan a recovery against Stoke and Cirkin should be back for that game. I’m right behind him. We all knew a bad patch would come. Every side in this league will get one. I’ll happily predict now that I think he’ll sort it and get us up this year.

Does nobody fact check before posting? We have scored three in the past five. Our opponents have scored four. What happens at both ends of the pitch matters.

And we've kept ten clean sheets in 18 games. Play like that and you don't need to score many. The goals will come.

True 3in6 not the best opposition though.

It's not fine if you want to go up to the pl...

Load of bollox IMO.

Alese gave away the goal with his daft backheel in his own box. Shite defending.

We played brilliantly this evening and would have won if Isidor had taken the penno - anybody but PR.
 
It was a bizarre appointment. A huge gamble. A gamble that might pay off, but looking likely it won't.

Achieved nothing as a player, and even less as a manager.

The squad can't relate to him. He can barely communicate with them. You are increasingly seeing the other members of the coaching staff becoming vocal.

The squad just struggle to interact with him at all. It seems unlikely to end well.

They brought on a centre mid in Tom Davies for a very productive attacking player on loan from Palace in Rak-Sakyi and a like for like change in One for Campbell.

That tells me that they made tactical changes that won it. Not by saying ‘let’s chuck the strikers on, surrender midfield control and hope something happens’

We took off Watson and Roberts (rightly so) and brought on Mayenda and wait for it, Alese. Going defensive.

We're five points off top, -3 on goal difference to them, and missing a number of key personnel over the last few weeks.
I thought we played well tonight, on balance the better team, but we lost. Another night we win that game. Weve been close to a win on a number of occasions, very close league at the top and we're only 2pnts off automatic promotion. I like what I'm seeing under him, nobodies perfect but I think I'd have taken this positon pre season

This would be laughable as comment if it wasn’t actually so tragic. Bizarre appointment my ****.
