    We seem to have a team very much built in that image.

    The one player that came with real passion was Walker, and it seems to have been coached out of him.

    Sitting in the Midland Road stand I can count the number of times on one hand that the players came over and gave it large in front of us. Once Pattison did it after scoring at home last season, and once or twice Cook has milked the response to a goal.

    That's about it. The rest of the time they just timidly jog out and often don't even look at the crowd.

    Not said this before but credit to Andy K. This afternoon.Minutes before Notts scored their first goal he was stressing the point that City’s midfield needed to get a lot closer to Crowley and McGoldrick as they had too much space and were looking dangerous - we know what happened next ! If he could see this why couldn’t our Manager.

    Reading their fans view and thats exactly what they were saying. At times we couldn't lay a glove on him, how badly we lack a player of his movement and vision in the centre.

    Movement and vision in the middle of the park? No, it’ll never catch on.

    Bring able to point does not make a captain.i reckon cos he's as dull as Alexander he gives him the armband.

    Jamie had the feel of a lad who should be captain, and had the potential to be great at the club and drive the team to promotion. Lots of graft and a fair bit of skill. But whatever happened with the contract in the summer (and I suspect GA) has taken it out of him.

    a progressive manager with a midfield of Evans, Walker and likely Pointon should be ruining teams

    Just seen the goals.

    My god, I've never seen such a pathetic effort to try and tackle someone as Sarcevic for the 3rd goal. That was disgraceful.

    If I was Alexander I would have hauled him off there and then and put Jamie Walker on, who should start anyhow as he's one of the few who will give you 100% most matches.

    Alexander out!

    Dont care what anyone says getting rid of GA will not solve anything at all because the next poor bastard will have the same problem thats hes facing ..........Gent and co have had YEARS to get it right and we look worse than ever thats the real issue here .........our super main signing last window if nothing but an over the hill crock how many times has this happened now ??????
    Its to the point now where i was taking this piss out if us in the pub i cannot get angry anymore thats what these winkers have brought me to.

    I had an email of a direct debit coming out for my season ticket fook me its like being robbed and having to sit back and do nothing about it.

    Still a couple of weeks down the line a new manager will in a new promise of doing things better and yet again the cycle of lies and bullshit goes on.

    Funny when I was watching Crowley play I did think he looked a similar player to Bobby, massive difference being Crowley had pace to go with the skills.

    I don’t think it’s an absence of technical skills , rather footballing guile , knowing when to do the simple things, rather than the Hollywood , when to pass and not to pass and so on. For those who think I’m knocking, don’t bother, I’m comparing different attributes of similar stature players.

    Age , he’s 27, and pedigree, look at Crowley’s, and you will see where I’m coming from. Released on a free by Uncle Festa at Morecambe because they couldn’t afford him.

    While folk continue to help him keep his hands in his pockets then hes more than happy to do NOTHING to change it ..............i bought on this season not on the back of his bullshit but on the back of dumb loyalty to this club that aint happening next season unless something dramitic goes on.

    And so whf we go down ?‽?? At least there is a chance of actually getting our club back because this club and this squad are actually very unlikable no heart no fight from the board down to the squad
