Pretty much, wasn't AM slaughtering the fans after the Crewe away game? :lol:


Yes, I did, but at Crewe we did at least put in some effort, we just could not score against the Divisions worst, first relegated team! We did at least attack non stop, but with all the venom and finishing ability of 9 year olds! :oops:
Saturday was just cack, total and utter shite, the players should hold their heads in shame when such a great season suddenly comes to a grinding halt, cus the majority were 'already on the beach' and let Bradford humiliate us.
It's to be hoped that a vast number of changes are made to the team for Tuesday, and that we go at Shrewsbury from the off, if the lack of cohesion continues like it did at Bradford, it will be yet another 0-0 at 88 minutes and heart attack time!
:(


Bradford are a million miles better than Crewe so it's all relative.

Only thing I would say is there is usually a response after a bad defeat, I remember after losing at Reading 4-0 the team went up to Donny 3 days later and won.

As remote as auto promotion looks currently, win the last 3 and you never know, Burton could draw twice, it's not impossible for them to do that.

We all know this team can be bulied. It's been happening to us for years, the JPT final for example.

If we get promoted and we retain most of the same squad we will get absolutely slaughtered week in week out. We just aren't tough enough and all good teams are tough. Great teams are tough and can play.

Having said that playing Taylor and Downing in defence was asking for trouble. Preston and Henry should have played. Anyway onwards. Fingers crossed for tonight, two quick home wins so that we have something to play for on the last day please.
