    Agreed and I want BP to do well but for me if he was a youth loan from a say a premiership team I think collectively we would be saying he’s not ready.

    I don’t think he is and I don’t want to right the lad off but I don’t think he will be at this club or level.

    He did which surprised me, it just seemed we've had a very poor run since the home defeat against Crawley.
    Alexanders league two record since he took over :
    Barrow home lost
    Notts County away lost
    Accrington Stanley home won
    FGR away won
    Gillingham away won
    Doncaster away won
    Morecambe home draw
    Stockport home draw
    Crewe away lost
    Crawley home lost
    Colchester away draw
    Salford home draw
    Swindon away lose
    AFC Wimbledon home draw
    Wrexham away win
    I believe the home defeat to Crawley was the game that p1ssed so many fans off.

    Not to bad and yesterdays win should have been complimented with a win over Wimbledon we were the better team for most of the match with plenty of chances. MK will be a tough test let’s hope we can get a result and go on a good run

    You're right about him looking disinterested, I've thought the same and noticed yesterday when Cook scored he didn't race over to join in the celebrations with his team mates.

    Well one things for sure, GA will be right up for this one and will definitely want to get one over on his former employers.

    This is one game I really want to see us win, not only for the good of the team but on a personal level to make some amends for travelling down there on a Tuesday night to see us get absolutely spanked. We were woeful and it would be nice to send them back to MK empty handed

    Can he not just practice to take better penalties? Many penalties from the number one taker in a team are almost unsaveable. Can't say that about Cook's.

    This just demonstrates the fine margins of either being 14th or 7th as we should have beaten Crewe, Crawley and Colchester.
    That’s 8 points dropped in my eyes.

    would we be talking about protests in that case?

    It’s like that “ Chip on Shoulder “ demeanour …I hate it. Ambles around , not even jogging to
    “ situations” . I keep thinking there is a footballer in there but how many clubs or his national side think ,you know what….There isn’t, with that attitude !

    It’s time for the fickle Tuesday night non attendees to come back, show support to the team and spur us on to a win which be the catalyst to a great run in.
    None of the Rupp or Sparks debate are the players fault. Get behind them and see where it takes us. If we fall short after 46 games then is the time for protest against the regime.

    Are you seriously suggesting yesterdays admittedly brilliant result changes the issues we face with Rupps ownership, Sparks leadership, Gents recruitment etc ???
    Typical short-term ism of some City fans - 1 win and alls rosy again, next defeat and you'll be back having a go!
    I dont want our future ambition to be staying in the EFL!!

    No I’m not saying anything has changed insofar the long term vision for the club. I want an owner who cares and is interested but none of that is the fault of the players or the manager.
    Get behind them until the final ball is kicked this season then go to town on Rupp / Sparks.
    Now is not the time whilst still an outside chance of a play off place.

    They are hardly being fickle, you use the name Loyal but often slag them off! I totally agree we should keep behind the players as best we can but remember most of the football has been turgid to say the least

    Why do you and others on here keep bringing up my username as a debating point. I will never have to justify it to anyone. I’m entitled to slag off the club and the team when things are shite without loyalty being questioned so long as I continue to attend 46plus games per season.

    Plenty of chances but the Wimbledon keeper could have sat with me for the afternoon

    So have you got the answers, other than saying things have to change. We all know things need to improve.
    We all want things to improve, but to me it seems some are more than happy to complain that Rupp is not willing to invest more of his wealth.
    How about we all invest more of our wealth and pay £280+ for our season tickets £12 per game. Rupp is currently going nowhere and if people think not turning up will force him to open the wallet, they are deluded, the club will just cut back on anything they can, including the playing budget.
    A change in CEO might help, but he would still be working to Rupp's guidelines.
