    I actually look forward to it. At least he has been right all along about Hopkin

    Well we started the game 1 point away from getting out of the relegation places, Walsall lose a player and we go ahead, we can't take advantage as a team and we finish up losing 3 - 2 and now find ourselves 3 points from getting out of a relegation place.

    Not interested in hearing anything that Hopkin has to say, even if can think of anything

    No point in being trained to super fitness when you don't use it to compete. Management as much to blame as the players they are coaching.

    Their players defended like their league one status depended on it. Ours defended like they’d been on the piss all night and are more concerned with where they’re going on their summer holidays.

    Story of the season.

    Horrendous result. Losing was bad enough but with them going down to 10 men and having to play virtually the whole game with a man short. It seemed every time the ball went into our box they scored.

    Absolutely Bob on. There was a time when I defended Hopkin, but now is the time to get rid. Hes simply not made the impact needed with the players at his disposal, December was a complete anomaly and for whatever reason, what hes trying to instill in the players now is simply not working. We've got 12 games and 36 points still to play for, let's try and save our L1 status by getting Evans in. He might just get a tune out of this lot! Yeah hes got a chequered history I get that, but I'm sorry, retaining our L1 status is worth the punt for me now. Hopkin out!!!

    We got a masterclass in the second half of how to defend as a team from a group of players who clearly wanted it more.
    I hope our players were paying attention.

    We’re down no quality no character no f chance of staying up this year. Ten men for most of the game , lost 5 in a row this lot . What a joke of a team can’t be arsed listening to Hopkins BS. Looking at the next three games we’ll be bottom by mid March.

    Just not good enough. A terrible result, against a poor team who played 90 minutes with 10 men.

    I’m usually an eternal optimist where city are concerned, yet after that absolute shower against 10 men for near on 90 mins I have given up and we are truly done. Would care if Hopkin was sacked, might be good to actually have a clear slate for league 2 next season. Dreadful. Conceding 3 goals against 10 men in a game with such importance as this is truly shocking. Can’t stress the disappointment. Hopkin will come out and say we so many chances to win the game, but will totally miss the point in that we shouldn’t need to score 4 goals to beat a team playing with ten men

    Rupp enabled this, granted he removed Rahic but everything up until December was part of his grand plan. Now he's allegedly using "I'll withdraw funding" to prevent criticism.

    Big moment for me as I can't see a way out of this mess. Fixtures are not in our favour and I don't think this bunch of no marks give a shite. Handed the game on a plate today and still managed to lose.
