Fudge this sh*t!

I can no longer read this . Please , please , please do the right thing and get rid of JW. If he has any honour about him , his press conference after this match , regardless of whether the result changes or not should be only 3 words.

I have resigned!

Can we all hear what we are saying? It's the 81st minute at home against 10 men relegation zone Gillingham, and we are desperate to scrape a draw............................................................

This is becoming an intolerable low point.

Trouble is neither of the front 2 can head the ball now. That's the only plus Baka offers

Sky Sports are reporting Oztumer is considering a move to Hednesford in the January transfer window , as he wants to play at a higher level!!

18 shots on target and still losing the game must be some sort of record though.

Statistically, we played them off the park - except in one minor area.

He’s done.

I don’t care how we played because I wasn’t there. He’s done.

Shocking shocking shocking.

I defend Whitney a lot on this sight but that has to be the final nail. No coherent selection process as illustrated today by the sub keeper, Kinsella, Flanagan and the strikers. The best indication that he doesn’t know himself what team to play.

A must win game and we’ve dicked them for a lot of it but I genuinely think it’s the selection that’s caused that. One striker being Baka? Where is the thought process there? Target man on his own? When has that ever worked. 3 at the back cos it worked for Chelsea. I can see no other logical reason considering the players we have. Just incoherent.

As my sports master at school used to drill into us "Football is not all about scoring goals" THE HELL IT IS!!!

Do we possess any player in our team who knows where the net is? Shambles utter shambles, this is an embarrassment.

Let's be honest, it's going to happen sooner rather than later with the results flat-lining now.

Let's just hope Bonser dosen't leave it as late as he did with Hutchings.

No win in six league games at home (bang goes the "unbeaten at home" argument).

Now below Oldham in the table (imagine proposing that in mid-September).

End this madness now.

He will dredge any excuse/reason not to resign.

Played them off the park, just did not work for us, that`s football for you, with a little bit more luck, if only.

Anything but look at himself and his team.

He really should go but with the set up as it is the cycle will just start again as the real root problem though as we all know is none other than . . . . . . . . . . . . .

UNCLE JEFF (Even is wider family hate him)

But, El Nombre, we have to accommodate Oztumer in the No 10 role- it’s apparently in his contract. That means, if we play 4 at the back, we can only play 1 upfront - it ain’t working, especially at home. How many goals have we scored at home, playing 1 upfront? It’s time to play 4-4-fecking-2 - Ozzie will have to play wide - with Bakayoko and Roberts upfront. Another sh!te season.

Hold on your can’t play a number ten with 4 at the back? We play him there cos it’s our best player in his best position. Playing him out wide makes zero sense. Hes our top scorer! I’m still amazed at this thinking.

4-2-3-1 4-4-2 Diamond 4-3-1-2 4-4-1-1 just to make a few. Moving your only creative player out wide really isn’t the answer, but neither is 3 at the back.

Or be positive and play 4132 with Ozzie in the middle of the 3 and then also gives 2 up top to play balls to. Surely we would score some goals then!
