Sad. A tame way to surrender the lead we kept so jealously for so long :(

You could have fudge Henry & Rooney up front and they wouldn't get a sniff with the chances "created" by our midfield.


This is a very good point


And something I've been saying since fudge November :evil: I ain't no fudge tactical genius, so if it's so obvious to us laymen why the hell can't a professional football manager see it?

Mr Touchy must go. Tonight was a real test of his motivational ability and tactical nounce. He failed it miserably. The fans who went are outraged. WM commentators couldn't pick a man of the match and described the performance as poor. Four wins out of 14 games. Five points out of 21. We hardly make a scoring chance in a joke of league. He constantly brings in players worse than the ones who took us down. He refuses to pick our young, creative players. This man is not going to take us up. Do we really want him next season? No. Get rid of him now and get someone in who can bring a smile back to Bescot and some passion in the players.

Well, if one thing, it may eventually wake people up from their "but we're top of the table" daydream.

We're in the cack, but the frustrating thing is it's been obvious for months and could've been dealt with ages ago. Bad, bad management.

At least we aint top anymore. Pressure is kind of off us, we are no longer the team to beat.

Shame really that we give in, in February. Never mind, Cardiff's calling us again.

THE PLAYERS THAT BOTTLED IT LAST SEASON ARE DOING THE SAME THIS TIME AROUND.

Rubbish - worst that can happen is we don't get promoted. THEN we can discuss Dicky's future.

Any change of manager now and we will clearly not go up.

The players we have got this season have choked and are found wanting in the big games when it matters, because at the moment to us every game is a big game and we just havn't got it or we don't want it as much as the opposition which hurts.

I can, the bit that refers to picking young, creative players. Who does this refer to exactly?

Demontagnac has been picked and has been as useless as the rest of them.
Bradley is a defensive midfielder as far as I am aware.
Nicholls needs a months loan to gain first team practice.
Smith and Sansara are defenders.

So does that statement infer he should pick the youth team?

Also, the players he has brought in are not generally worse than those that took us down, Butler is better than Barrowman, Ince is better than Oakes, Sam is better than Fitzgerald.

What about Bedeau? What about Lyall?

Demontagnac hasn't been given enough of a run to find out properly.
We can't lose anything by playing Nicholls.

Late edit, if Cidershite is better than Constable then I'm a China man.

Not exactly a perfect record in the transfer market is it?

We need to get out of this league. Failure to go up is every bit as bad as relegation last season. Recent form indicates that it is unlikely that the present manager will be able to achieve promotion. Can anyone point out reasons to remain positive that I am missing?
He is talking about bringing in new players. Why now when it has obvious for months the squad he has built was seriously lacking. And what was that jolly abroad all about?
Now if we don't go up, does anyone want another season of ugly football and moaning from Mr Touchy?
I truly hope Bonser acts now.
