I'll be right with you if important players leave, but for me we've lost 6 games in the league all season. 6 out of 25.
Repeat that and we are ok.

There was absolutely no need to player Clarke up front today, makes no sense at all. Awful result.

What a dramatic turn around, eh? And I'm talking about the crap some of you lot spout picking faults & criticising the team &/or Pressley - not what happened on the pitch.
Anyone with 1/2 a brain cell would take that result looking at the line-up...it's times like this the team would benefit from people getting behind them & encouraging them to do better rather than just slating them!!
Some if you guys are just SO fickle!

I don't see it tbh, top 10 finish would be good from here. We've earned 43 points from 25 games, average 1.72. 21 games left at that average give 36.12, therefore that would give 69 points come the end of the season. That was with the Wilson/Clarke combo, with Wilson out till March/April it is going to be near impossible imo.

Has Pressley signed any players on loan this season? If he hasn't been allowed I fully blame SISU.

surely the best record for decades?
You should say that to the sixfields boo boys.
Get us back home and we can all get behind them.

we need 1 or 2 good Cbs. We have Webster and Willis, both are hit and miss, so IMO we should be looking at at least 1 CB and a striker

so a 2-2 draw after being 2-0 up is acceptable? :facepalm:

I agree we need to firm up the defence.

Of course not, but using facebook as an example.
"City 2-0!" - about 5 comments
"2-2" - about 80 comments saying same old city etc
You know the answer to that. With the peanuts that sisu give to him maybe what he can get isnt good enough.

He also signed Webster, granted, I've only seen him 5 or 6 times, but hes been woeful and the weakest link.
Why did he sign slagner? Hes said himself hes not ready, so why are we wasting what little funds with have on a development player?

All the support in the world will not help a team with no depth.
SISU need to strengthen and if they can't support it they need to get us back to the Ricoh so the fans can put the money in for them.
your maths isnt great, that would give us 79pts come the end of the season which is more than enough for a playoff place

Who said that? It's just not a surprise under the circumstances & in no way warrants slagging players &/or manager off. It's spoilt kid type stuff.

agreed. but the free and loan players are not always going to be good enough. on the other side, not all high cost transfers equals a good player

Do people think Seabourne is the answer? Only seen him once but though he was decent in that match

Same as on here, I don't remember anybody congratulating SISU on hiring Pressley or giving him the funds to sign Maguire on loan after the MK dons game but a bad result and it is all their fault...
In fact a lot of the people who come on to go mad after a bad result, you don't see them if we win

if we had of drawn 1-1 today fair enough, due to our line up. but to be 2-0 up at "home", we should see that out

And he's still able to get signings in, as confirmed by Waggott in the programme today.

It really doesn't matter where the slating is done. SUPPORT is the answer & should be relentless from any fan of the Club.

I'm not certain he's the answer, but is probably the best that we can attract.

Just saw the goals and after I stopped laughing i just can't believe it. So unbelievably feeble and crap. Won't win another game. Wilson out Clarke out and can't defend. Crawley are wank as are crewe and oldham. Shit shit teams. 3 draws. Play offs? Good one

Congratulating sisu on hiring Pressley? He's done a decent job but he's no jose you know. Pressley is a nobody in the football world.

If we had a miserly defence I'd agree...but we don't have. Haven't had a consistently miserly defence for years. What we have this season is a cutting edge that most teams cannot deal effectively with. THAT was significantly blunted today yet we still got 2 goals. Revel in our attacking threat. Be patient with the boss to get the defence tighter.

but half way into the season, when does the defence get tighter?

SP needs to work out how to see these games out. why dont we just retain ball in a negative fashion?
