Taking into account our appalling goal difference, we're actually 11 points from safety - sorry :wink:


Come on, let's be positive about things!

just talking to a Rochdale fan mate about beers before the game in late Feb (he's very much under the thumb and needs to apply in triplicate for permission to go out solo). He couldn't believe it when I said we'd be as good as down by then.

Face facts - the standard of the squad is at best lower mid-table, with the evidence of today making that seem optimistic. A team like that cannot make up more than a 5-6 point gap in half a season, even with a high quality manager. Bhuna will not give money to significantly strenghten them who ever comes in.

Just tuned in. Mick Kearnes sounds off colour. Are we losing?

What's the earliest a side in a league of 24 teams has a club been confirmed as relegated? Are we on to break the record?!

Didn't do them very much good - they're now 1-5 down at home to Gillingham.... we'll be playing them both next season.

Mick has just said, when Patterson was substituted "He's done alright but I wish he had kept it more simple and do more difficult things" :D

Pee poor upfront, a shadow of a midfield and a completely clueless defence, these players are simply not good enough, either ability or attitude. A new manager won't have the time to turn this lot around and I doubt there's any wonga to bring in decent replacements.

If they are sticking with Smith it sounds like the board has written the season off already.

No way! Superb.

They'd never have had the fight to come back under Hutchings... not a chance.
