Christ, people on that wall still talking about playoffs and kicking off for somebody saying we are 12th.

[Nick]

Are we going to get a free kick today?

 

[chiefdave]

It will be thoroughly depressing if we're in the bottom half at the end of the day.

Ahh they need a reality check.

 

[Ashdown]

What happened to their excellent midfielder Bradley Dack ?? Thought he was one of the best players I saw down the Ricoh this season ?

Can we build that wall higher so they can't get over to the normal side over here?

 

[ccfcway]

half time

no shots on target, but not losing !

12th in the league

He's injured

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yeah. While you've got the positive people on the wall, You've got tedious miserable fuckers on here going on about being 12th.

 

[sw88]

Where was Murphy?

Good question

 

[Nick]

Yeah. While you've got the positive people on the wall, You've got tedious miserable fuckers on here going on about being 12th.

You mean the ones who have been right, and have called it since we started falling from 2nd? the ones the positive people kept saying "yes, but we are 12 points above 7th" to?

The fact is, we are 12th at the minute.

 

[Otis]

Yeah. While you've got the positive people on the wall, You've got tedious miserable fuckers on here going on about being 12th.

So, dreamers with their heads in cloud cuckoo land, against people stating plain and simple facts.

Hmm ... tough call.



Ditto, Nick!

Miserable and tedious maybe but eyes open and realistic

 

[sw88]

Are we going to get a free kick today?

Not with this ref. Both Vincelot and Jones taken out in quick succession and even though it was up the other end to where we are they looked like fouls to me and the players agreed

 

[Ashdown]

The realism seems to be that confidence has absolutely collapsed and the manager doesn't seem to be able to galvanise them to believe in themselves anymore, irrespective of who he puts in the team !

So the manager can't do his job?

 

[Ashdown]

Nope !

 

[Otis]

Nope !

Is it because Sisu have his hands tied behind his back?

 

[chiefdave]

Why do the team never seem to have any reaction to a performance as bad as last week? When other teams have a bad day you expect them to go the extra mile next time out to prove themselves. We just don't seem bothered.

I agree with that. I think we have missed Kent on and off the pitch and I think there is something else wrong in dressing room. But yes confidence shot, arma not a patch on what he was and TM appearing to have no plan B or as good man management skills I thought he would have

 

[Ashdown]

Not really, can't even blame them that much for this collapse !

Yes i mean you expert. Please make sure you remind us what our league position is every 5 minutes.

 

[Otis]

Think people are only mentioning it every time we drop a place to be honest.


We just keep dropping places.

 

[lifeskyblue]

I think we can blame SISU for a lot but the decision in Jan to go for age and experience over raw talent was TMs I think

I hope that at some point pride will kick in. Whether they are loanees or the season is in effect over, there must come a point where it becomes embarrassing losing every week. If it was me, I would come out kicking biting running shouting and fight like hell to get a win - even if I wasn't as good as my opponents. Just to be able to look myself in the mirror.

I posted it when it changed, because Port Vale scored.

If it changes and we go up to 11th I'll port then unless somebody beats me to it as well.

Look on the bright side, if the rot had set in late October we would be just above the relegation places !

 

[lifeskyblue]

And I think there is genuine puzzlement at how the team pre Xmas has fallen like a stone since

They are sports people though, whether they are on loan, in a contract they should be bred to win, whether it is cards on the bus, a match, a training game, a game on the PS4 or everything. They should want to be the best at everything and win at everything.

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

Where was Murphy?

In cloud cuckoo land as always

Sounds like you played Sunday League too !?

This Kent business is nonsense I'm afraid. He's some how mysteriously got a lot better since he left us...

Yes, that is spot on. It is heightened because we were top and then top 6 for so long and so many points clear.

Every time we drop a place it causes yet another shake of the head in disbelief to how far we are falling.

 

[Nick]

Back up to 11th, Chesterfield scored!

 

[Nick]

Gillingham make another change, hopefully it won't be a good one
