It's a biggie today for STFC.
They seem to have timed a run of form nicely, but L2 teams seem to go through phases.

Deserved a point but it’s not good enough and we’ve been a shadow of the side we were before the new year.
The thought of another season in this cesspit of a League fills me with dread.
Would take it though at a heartbeat if it meant these owners would all piss off for good.
Slowly killing the club.

I'd expected a draw today but it wasn't to be, from IH's totally honest post-match on BBC they did a job on you which is exactly what the top experienced sides in a division do, your form seems to have slipped at the wrong time(s). Disappointing but you're still in with a chance so don't write it off yet. Is it the inexperience that's costing you?
I won't mention your owners because I know your feelings on them so it would be further total speculation on my part, is their presence restricting who/what can be brought in [re: finance or terms]?

Holloway is costing us.
Team selection all over the place. Has lost the plot and Mr angry.
Pressure has got to him.

Some of his decisions on playing style have had me wondering mind, frustration with himself & some of his alterations do eventually have an effect, but is the pressure self-created or coming frm above.

All down to him. I do believe though having Clarke suspended for 7 games and us being eliminated from the Piss Pot trophy has sent him over the edge.
He has definitely changed..

I'll have to take your word on that, yes there's been one or two background muck-ups that have contributed to wrecking the season that will have effect, all in all it's been a mess really.
Is he making his resignation/departure/dismissal frustration clear - if his head isn't there it's time to go. But again it's the fans that suffer with the change of manager/hc.

Twice now.
He should fook off back to Wales where his heart still is.
Same with the fat keeper living up in Preston.
Just not right. Palmer strolls around like Billy Big Bollocks and not a patch on Drinan who grafts every game with no support.
Past caring now. He has become Mr angry.
Club is shite and always feels that way. Just glad I have other things to take my mind away from it. Depressing club to support.

Things just aren't right there, some things seem like a lower Sunday league team happenings.

Same at Chez mate. Cook the Mood Hoover.
Yet again they gain a great win yesterday but as sure as night becomes day they will fuck up their next game

Been briefly looking into him and I can see a reason or two for squad, colleague & manager frustration, when a club has someone with such a (? "superior") attitude in their ranks it's difficult to have everyone giving everything when that "one" expects to stand back & reap the benefits.

Sounds disappointing mate, sorry to hear.
Saw the result - seemed a tight game. A narrow defeat but I thought MK Dons would be a threat. Was it still a decent performance though?
Hope you enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

Captain gets a 7 game ban from an offence committed back in August for inappropriate behaviour. Still maintains captaincy.
We should be at Wembley in the piss pot trophy but played him by mistake, then fielded an incorrect substitute.
Palmer joint commentator at Wrexham twice now before a Swindon game the next day. Keeper trains 2 days a week as based in Preston.
Must be great in that dressing room. Then My angry losing the plot.
Players playing out of position, picking experience over natural positions.
Meanwhile the Club off the field is rotten to the core and has been for 10 years now.
Honestly I’m sick to death of it. Fook them all and the thought of doing it again next season in this woeful league fills me with dread.
It’s shit, it’s always shit and why I never get my hopes up.
Aussie Court Case hearing due at the end of this month and he hasn’t got a leg to stand on. Made his Son a position on the Board, how perfectly timed.
Should turn off the fooking lights then the decision would be made for me.
Wrexham still pay a high proportion of his wages, easily the highest earner by some distance. I wouldn’t want him in the dressing room.
In fairness even their Manager said we deserved a point.
A deflection and keeper error, same old.
All good here mate, thankfully have other interests that keep me sane.
Hope all is well with you.

Pleased to hear that but totally understand your frustrations and worry about your football team and ownership in the meantime though. Genuinely hope that things improve on and off the pitch.In fairness even their Manager said we deserved a point.

I'm canny mate, my step-son and his girlfriend popped across to see us for lunch and I had a nice walk with the dog through the woods while the sun was out.
I thought Sunderland did ok yesterday to be honest - pity about disallowed goal and goal conceded. Concerned how many injuries we have and they only continue to increase! Missing 3 or 4 key first team players all at once is clearly a big issue so it’s no wonder we’re struggling. I think a drop off was always going to happen, we just need to regroup and go again. As long as we stay up that is job done.
Have a good day and good luck at Gillingham on Tuesday night. Do they still house the away fans in the notorious uncovered temporary scaffold structure behind the goal?
