if you want to see despair, go look on the Walsall boards, they need a samaritan line over there.
Well yep!But Stu, we were top by 3 points...2 more defeats could see us 13th-15th. At what point do you do something to halt the slide??

We are in the top 10 and calling for his head, FFS guys...
I would say we will go into next season a lot less confident than this and a lot more downhearted. Would expect ST sales to drop too.People need to stop with this it's a blip or we'd have taken this at the start of the season rubbish.
Our form since the Gills game puts us 20th in L1.
Played 16, won 3, drawn 6 lost 7. Scored 20 (11 of those in 2 games!), conceded 19. 15 points.
Pretty much everyone leaves in the summer. Screw it up this season and we're back to square one. Since relegation from the PL how many season have we had when we have genuinely been pushing for promotion. I wouldn't bet on us being up there again next year if we mess it up this year.
For me it's deeper than the manager, it's the reliance on loan signings which seems to be the clubs template for the last 10 years. We have a team of players who are not attached to the club and are already looking at their own position back at their contracted clubs. Every year it's failure and start from scratch. Until we change this recruitment model we will never get upWell yep!
It's okay, we're still top 6 and 11 points clear.
It's okay, we're top 6 and still a few points clear.
It's okay, we're still top 6.
It's okay, we're 7th.
It's okay we're 8th.
It's okay, we're 10th.
It's okay, at least we finished higher up than we did last year.
Can you spot the pattern emerging? We can't just look back and say we were really good for a while. A season is a season and at the end of this campaign, in black and white will be where we have finished.
No-one is going to care to remember we were top 6 for quite a while.
It doesn't matter that we were top 6 for a while. All that matters is where we finish. That is the only factor in the history books. Only we as City fans will know what we had and how we blew it!
This has already gone from a great season to a terrible one. The way we are playing now is as bad as many other City teams of late. Dominated, not creating enough, heads dropping, silly goals, clueless, lightweight, lack of fight, no plan b.
Time to wake up and smell the coffee. We are not the great team we thought we were. We are a below average League One side and unless we change things now tactically and mentally, this slide will continue and it will turn out to be one of the worst seasons in living memory.
As do most other clubs in this league.For me it's deeper than the manager, it's the reliance on loan signings which seems to be the clubs template for the last 10 years.

Ideal for Henderson thenI have noticed we have been dwarfed by man mountains on a number of occasions.
Thought Rochdale looked decent. They just need some attacking threat up front.
They were organised, strong, disciplined and had great energy.
I know people were saying they are just a notable team, but now they are only 4 points behind us.
They had some big, strong players in their side for sure.
Yep, totally agree. I would like to see Armstrong and Henderson up top together.Ideal for Henderson then
not the reliance like us however, loanees are to cover the odd spot not to form the backbone of your squad.As do most other clubs in this league.
Everyone needs to stop clinging onto the fairytale that we are going to get owners who are going to pump tens of millions into a club. Very rare

One or two not five or six. They both had a core of decent players to achieve this goalThey form the backbone of many squads. Birmingham and Stoke were promoted to the premiership with a policy totally targeted at loan players being integral to the team.

Hope that isn't true. It's a position we have been screaming out for and could have made all the difference.I was told Anderson stopped Mowbray signing the Dutch lad Hooi if true that wouldn't help relationships would it
Suppose to counter that though, a new a manger in and the team starts winning again, the attendances will increase again.looking at the affect sacking Pressley and his staff had on the accounts I think it's highly unlikely TM will get the bullet.
The difference between us and burton Albion is simple we are a squad of players. on paper as good as you can expect for league one. Burton are a team with a winning mentality look at there goal difference it speaks volumes.
Can't just keep sacking the manager
To be quite honest I think you only sack him once.Can't just keep sacking the manager
