    Only if City don’t take up the option on his contract.

    The answer to the second question starts at 00.38 and meanders along for over a minute. Can anyone decipher anything coherent? Quite important because it's his attempt to answer to why we were crap today. We've lost our connection with our trust of going all the way in with people one on one apparently. What on earth does that mean? Anyone any ideas?

    I'm glad it wasn't just me that couldn't understand his answers to Raynor's questions. Just seemed to waffle on without actually saying anything.

    Sorry for the delay, just got back about 25 minutes ago

    I’m still pretty much lost for words tbh, as I was for most of the drive back. We simply didn’t look one bit interested yet again, Smallwood snatches at every ball and loses it half the time with his wayward passes, Cook sulking and well off the boil, static defence, Gilliead looks like he’s ran out of energy, Chapman ineffective, and what makes it worse is Swindon - just like Salford - were as poor as us!

    A very shit day for me personally, as the tickets were expensive, plus the £70 in fuel, extremely frustrating team display, and I reckon I’ve copped for a bastard bus lane ticket as I had no time to move over in that congested little SHIT HOLE

    I get people are already pissed off with GA, his selection, his tactics. But I feel sorry for the poor bastard, even he knows he can’t get a tune out of this useless team. He has to be given more time. I’ve seen and heard comments suck as “this is the worst football I’ve ever seen” but fans were saying that under Hughes (only manager who’s got us remotely “good” btw), they said it under Adams, Boreyer, Trueman, Grayson, Hopkin etc etc etc. ITS THE fecking CEO, RECRUITMENT GUY AND OWNER that need to leave before any manager

    I was listening with my wife and we both thought Raynor asked the right questions but just didn’t persevere after the vague answers were given.

    That’s a shame. I had 3 seats in the back of my car, would’ve been more than welcome to jump in

    I think so. He signed an 'initial' 1 year deal last summer along with Harvey Rowe and Dylan Youmbi.

    We've stopped pressing aggressively and we're playing too slowly was what he was getting at.
    Restarts too slow. He wants high tempo.

    And it stands out a mile we have gone from a team that was winning most of the 50/50 tackles and pressing with intensity right from the defence forward. Now we are back to sitting back without the ability to do it. Walker will help because it’s his natural game and the awful form coincided with his injury. But the others specially players like Smallwood who have vast experience need to get their fingers out

    Yes , option on three that signed Dylan Youmbi and Harvey Rowe the other two with Bobby Pointon.

    Change of subject Good Luck to Harvey who played for Farsley Celtic today hope he stays fit and gets his career back on track, Was good on his day in the Academy side.

    If his team talks are anything like this it's not surprising the players look like they don't know what they're doing.

    "Stefan Rupp, get out of our Club" and I'd say there were a sizeable proportion of the away following joining in.

    Repeated regularly in the closing 20 minutes and they were loud enough in the away end (but I can't speak for the rest of the ground).

    Thanks, Stafford!

    This is a pleasing development in the sense that it's not a minority of online folk who want the situation to change.

    As with managers, when our fans decide there must be change, it is usually delivered eventually.

    I was disgusted with what I saw today. At no point did we look like a properly coached professional outfit, just a bunch of unfit, overweight cloggers.

    An away end full of apathy. People sat scrolling through their phones rather than watching the crap served up on the pitch, what a thoroughly depressing afternoon.

    Time to stop going, and wasting a full day on that crap. If they can't be arsed why should you/we/the fans.

    I don't actually think anybody enjoys going anymore so what's the actual point in travelling the length of the country, incase we win and move up to 15th in League Two? We're just in a depressing situation and I'd advise the away fans not to bother anymore.
