    Now Young (technically still our player) has scored a brace for Swindon.

    Your up and down like a yoyo today mate!:laughing:
    Agree totally that it's more than just Hughes, rest of his team and Sparks the football man (as opposed to commercial man) have so many questions to answer.

    I'll ask you Jon, does this really matter enough to Hughes or is it just a place to park his ego? He doesn't need league 2 football, he's made for life

    It's a bad time for Lewis,his three best mates,East,Young,and Banks have all left the club,and his head was obviously turned by the approach from Barnsley,but what to do?.Doyle hasn't played for ages,and Richardson is very inexperienced.

    Honestly can you blame him. He has to come to Valley parade and that is the time to answer him

    It's fair enough. Our fans gave him some, he's entitled to give a bit back.

    But the thing is, me as a clueless supporter, doesn’t know if Smith is an out an out striker, or one of these false nines, or a fake ten, or inverted centre forward. The reason i don’t know, is cos I’ve seen him in both boxes. I haven’t seen him poaching or playing off the shoulder of the last man. I haven’t seen any darting runs beating the off side trap. I don’t know his role.

    But looking at him, he’s not a striker. Add to that, Cook being on rock bottom, then we might as well not play any up top,

    Worse performance from us in a long time. Outclassed, outplayed, over-run.

    Wrexham 5-5. I wish I had watched that rather than this rubbish

    Really should have gone after defeat at Carlisle (got pelters for posting that earlier)
    Going nowhere under his stewardship and dull negative tactics
    Not too late for the club to put things right but not under MH
    Time to go, as soon as this evening will do

    Outclassed and outfought by mighty Morecambe.

    Disgusting and embarrassing in equal measure.

    Good on him. Why should he take the abuse and not be allowed to give it back?

    At the beginning of the game Kiwomya spoke of an apparent team spirit amongst this current crop that is tight. In that case, why does it look like they’ve barely ever met each other?

    Stubbs and Platt look shadows of last seasons form.

    Lewis like a completely different keeper.

    Cook unrecognisable.

    Defensively a complete catastrophe.

    Going forward looks desperate.

    Players look lost. New signings seem unsure of what their jobs are.

    We need to be very, very careful this doesn’t slide worse than this or we could be in a very toxic place.

    There's a hubris about him. I think he believes he's better than this level. Well he's making a hash of it. Time for him to go, but we're right back to square one then, saddled with a disinterested owner and novice CEO.

    Embarrassing performance. I don't know where to start with this. It's that bad.
