    I'd take Clare Balding. And that's saying something!

    Stick 5 in the middle against us and it’s game over, simple as that. We don’t have the tactics, personnel or ability to do anything about it. Feels like another season of decline with another squad.

    I'd usually say something like that was a bad day at the office, but I think the players were working from home tonight.

    Did I hear something the commentators said, just before the players were coming out for the second half, about Canavan and Adams having words?

    With performances like that it’ll be game over for Adams quite soon.
    The stubbornness to change something that hasn’t worked since Mansfield away will be his downfall just like with Bowyer.

    Probably being lined up as another soft target to take the blame for this shitshow.

    He is our best centre half. Slow as a oil tanker but steady Eddie. Songo in da middle.

    This was spineless. They should be ashamed. Call themselves pro footballers. I won’t defend that. They owe the fans big time. Bollocks to fatigue. Hartlepool played Saturday same as city. We appear to have the same as before. A soft centre. The goalkeeper isn’t alone but we need better. To me only Cooke made a limited impact. My god Watt has regressed. What do we do to our players. We appear to coach the ability out of them. That’s as bad as I can remember for some time. Don’t be surprised when your contract isn’t renewed in the summer. Any of you.

    Our forward line is worse than that of February onwards last season no doubt about it, suppose when you budget cut an already crap team something like that is bound to happen though.

    That's the worrying thing that there was little on the bench to change things.

    That was as bad as any performance we put in when we got relegated from league one. Hopeless from start to finish and the scoreline flattered us.

    But cheap, buy twice is the saying. As usual, our summer dealings were cheap and amateurish. Just when you think recruitment can't get any worse, we somehow pull it off again.

    Threlkeld and Watt need dropping immediately and we need a change of shape. The tactics aren’t working.
    Vernam wasn’t in the game tonight and Gillead was ineffective.
    A very alarming performance and we now have a very tough run of games.

    This is a car crash interview. Adams sounds completely out of ideas.

    Adams interviews are starting to annoy me now.

    Fair play to Raynor. Asking a few straight to the point questions!
