    So to sum up...

    Donaldson permanently offside, a clear sign he needs to retire.

    Stuart squaring up to players, a clear sign he's losing it.

    Sutton sent off straight red, clear sign we're out of ideas.

    Long balls into the wind, clear sign we have no strategy.

    Playing out from the back and giving the ball away every time, clear sign we don't learn.

    18 year old centre backs taking direct free kicks, clear sign the senior players have given up.

    This is the worst performance I can remember.

    big thanks to Mr Rupp, under his tenure anything positive about this club has been completely ripped out of it

    If we are going to in any way blame the fans for any thing at this club we might as well pack it all in now. The club is rotten to the core because no one at the club really cares where it goes. Just be happy to have a club to support FFS.

    The sad fact is he probably would come out with that statement.
    I never thought I would turn against him but this is the worst side assembled and he's to blame for the way we set up and play.

    It only seems clueless 'cos we're playing to our strengths .

    Shockingly bad half

    No doubt stuarts answer will be Samuel's off at half time

    Also bolton 3 down at leyton orient shows how bad they are

    It's certainly on a par with the shite Bowyer served up. Make no mistake this could easily be a relegation fight if others below us get their act together.

    To be frank I actually don't care if we pull this out of the hat. McClown has no idea. More tinkering with the line up. No structure to our play.....jeez I feel I am in a space/time loop.

    McCall has to go. He is leading us to non league, his tactics are clueless and once he goes on a losing run it just carries on. Also please no more campaigns to bring him back when the next manager after him leaves. Let Stu be remembered as a great player.

    Sutton is a total waste of space. Utility man who isn’t good enough and gets sent off a lot. Great. Perfect in a small squad we were told as he can play a few positions. No idea who came up with that.

    lost another game. 3rd red of the season is that now? McCall no idea. Squad so lopsided again. It’s gonna be a long old seasonn

    Lunging in like that these days is asking for trouble, why chance it when it's almost certainly risking a red? We aren't talking a schoolboy player, we're talking a supposed seasoned professional.

    Rhodes needs to shoulder FULL responsibility for this weak management team, awful custodian, two failed appointments on his return, hasnt got a scooby do.

    Rhodes out - pathetic excuse for a ceo.

    McCall is A problem. Hes not THE problem. This is a fundamentally broken football club, root and branch. Our problems can not be solved by sacking the manager.

    It's been as plain as day for months where we're headed. The lack of quality in this squad is palpable. The lack of character, abject. But even those problems have a deeper cause. We scout and recruit horribly. And yet, even THOSE problems have a deeper root: We have no plan for how to take this club forward, and we have incapable people at the helm.

    The first step in solving any problem, is to recognise that you have one, and understand what it is.
