    He’s just reverted to slagging off the players now. Claiming most of the players aren’t winners. That’ll go down well.

    Some people can't be helped no mater how good a manager someone is. He knows the players better than any of us and has consistently backed them but there does come a time when you have to call it as it is. People put all the responsibility on the manager but the players cross the line and are responsible for their performance

    It's devastatingly disappointing but who are we gonna get who has done it before? We can't possibly take a chance on a hunch. This guy has built teams. Patience was n't our plan and I can't see it at the moment but I think we have to keep faith.
    We needed a guy who knew what he was doing. He's proved it. Just who are we going to get who is better?
    It's not the battle it's the war. As hard as it may seem I think we need to hang on because this guy has at least done it before.
    Will he do it again? I don't know but who else will?

    The CEO claims the manager had input on all transfers & retained list well we know now how poor the recruitment was
    The CEO is busy collecting surveys to rebrand the club
    Stop stop start by finding us a football team worth watching
    CEO stop stop trying to do a job your not qualified to do
    I have been watching BCFC since 1958 & I cannot honestly remember us been in such a mess even when we was almost bankrupt
    We had owners & directors who cared
    Our owner has been no where near for over 2 years not a word has been herd from him no input what so ever
    Promotion for this club is a long long way away
    Harrogate Sutton Hartlepool & FGR are miles in front of us
    Mr Sparks Mr Rupp Resign Now get out of our club

    Crankshaw never really got a chance, now moved to a club where he seems to be enjoying his football with 5 goals in 8 games. He might not have been the answer to our problems but he would have been an option in a team that looks devoid of options.

    Why is our most creative player - Callum Cooke - warming the bench, when Watt and Gilliead - who between them produce the square root of feck all - keep getting games? It's bizarre.

    I know a player who for certain gives a toss. Unfortunately he wasn't able to influence last night's proceedings due to warming the bench with his arse all night.

    It seems to me that our best central midfield is Songo'o (defensive sitter) - Sutton (box to box) and Cooke (chance creator). In games when Adams wants to play three CBs he could put Foulds in the back three rather than Songo'o.
    Watt and Gilliead, on current form, should be nowhere near a starting place.

    Ahahaha aye, I'm pretty gutted. Like I wouldn't mind if we played decent football but we were just awful last night, these players can't maintain stamina and just drop off and stop playing football.

    Ahahaha aye absolutely buddy, can't lie to myself about this shambles anymore. Like, Sutton's goal for me was a good goal, then Tranmere's first goal was a little too soft in my opinion, but after they scored we just fell apart, these players only turn up for 20 minutes and 70+ minutes is wasted, no urgency in this team.

    I read what Derek Adams said about 'individual mistakes' and I said to my Dad, "Was he watching the same game as us?" More than just individual mistakes, the team aren't a cohesive unit, Tranmere ran circles around us for most of the game. Derek also said we were comfortable in the first half, from what I saw until we scored that goal they were dominating us in the opening 20 minutes ahaha, then went on to dominate us all through the second half.

    Has Sparks commented at all today on last night's damning performance and post match comments - or is he too busy striking another dynamic local sponsorship deal with one of his mates :rolleyes:

    Tranmere are there to be taken. 2.0 win for me and the start of a decent run. We should be looking to win all of the next six.

    Couple of decent moves put together there. We are getting into the game now.

    He's ready to pounce like a trap door spider as soon as anything bad happens to us. You watch. :weary_face:

    Terrible pass by Watt. I'm getting really sick of seeing him gift possession to opposition teams.
