    Sadly, It’s not a joke. Who do we have in the side who’re better? The only one who doesn’t see how dog shit we are, still, is you.

    It has nothing to do with being in a relegation fight (if I take your post literally). Hes seeking a comparison of today's game to some last season to understand which were worse.

    I get what he's asking but why the comparison? We have a completely different squad of players and management, last season is irrelevant.

    Because we were in the Top 6, playing at home in seven matches worse than we did in the second half

    Assuming the divisional skill levels are roughly the same, this gives us some hope that we're better than the eventual relegation teams and can get better when the injured come back

    Did you think we were relegation candidates this time three years ago, when we had 10pts from 10 matches as well?

    What I am saying is the way we went about the game today was crazy, from the first minute when we launched the first long ball everyone in the stadium could see that it was food and drink for the Rovers central defenders, so as professional footballers I'd suggest they should try to find a team mate with a pass, you know something they practice most days at Rawdon Meadows but we didn't.
    I hope very much when some of our better players come back from injury we can get it down and play some football, but lets not forget these better footballers were playing at the start of this season and results were no better.
    Yes criticism is easy, so is trying to take any positives certainly from the first half, as I posted better second half and that was mainly IMO to the introduction of Payne, who could not get a start in the original starting 11.

    I think he's trying to understand if he was as critical of those performances as the one today. Let's be honest if there was a difference were arguing about shades of crapness!

    What weird name have I called you ?.

    Last seasons or any other season performances are irrelevant why do you keep basing you argument on what has happend in previous seasons, and I'm like a politician.

    I cannot understand what point you're trying to make by comparing three different sets of players and managers. Previous seasons are totally irrelevant

    You know you are in deep trouble when the forum's number 1 happy clapper has gone from predicting a top 6 finish to pretty much telling is that because we've been shit before, we should accept being shit now.

    What a comforting thought. Thanks for that Banbro.

    How anyone can defend today's game as a whole is beyond me, we have players coming back from injury let's hope they can make the required difference until January, do we seriously believe (sorry I have to bring his name up again) Edin will pay good money for players who can guarantee us league one survival, time will tell.

    Hmm well what can you really say about today?

    Denied stonewall penalty and red card.

    Otherwise I think it was 78th minute before we warmed their goalies palms.

    Brizzle were dog shit at the back and T'Pulse said they defended well!!

    Not good.

    ref must have seen that hit his hand. not sure it's intentional but your hand shouldn't be in that position unless you are doing the Charleston

    Agreed. Completely a stonewall penalty.
