    Let's hope that Rupp still feels responsible and bankrolls us to promotion next season. Not holding my breath but hope is all I have left

    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.

    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

    That's the worst result of all in a season of terrible results and a new low for us.

    Genuinely hope Hopkin walks after that. Shameful.

    Not to worry, it's all part of the plan. Teams that win against us go on to lose or draw their next game don't you know. ;)

    Exactly what was said on the radio today Walsall wanted it more than us, and that is a disgrace.

    That's the problem. All the loan players wont be too bothered, one or two out of contract players such as NKP probably don't either

    If I was the Walsall manger I'd give them Monday off, fantastic effort from 10 men.

    At least we can console ourselves knowing most of our loser players won't be here next season with their 'quality' (doesn't quality bring results???) - just need an assurance Hopkin will join them on the way out now, because performances and results like this are disgusting.

    Its not bad luck to let in three against ten, or to continually fire shots against defenders who want it more than ours.

    **** off City.

    People will be saying we were unlucky but when you can’t defend and can’t finish against 10 men for the entire match it’s a fecking disgrace.
    League 2 here we come.!!!!!

    Losing 3-2 Hopkin's first sub was Anderson for old billy Clarke, he just doesnt want to play 2 strikers to win a game.

    Just keep playing 4-2-3-1 and see the happy clappers drift off one by one Hoppy.

    Relegation will be totally deserved.

    Self-inflicted loss from the very beginning, against 10 men it was 48% wal v. 52% city possession, they too smart for us.

    I’ll be very surprised if we somehow manage to stay up. We’re not showing anywhere near enough and I don’t see Hopkin having any answers.
