    Were talking about his shot ?, I would have thought the linesman would have flagged, but the referee gave us a corner I believe so the goal would have counted , I'm not having a go we have seen similar many times this season and in many cases paid dearly.
    That goes in we win the game.

    You neatly drew a line at the top three. Ryan Lowe took over at Plymouth (who beat Crewe on Saturday) on 5th June 2019. They have a game in hand on Crewe and Exeter, which if they win, then they will go second. So Lowe has had far less time than those you name. They were relegated from League One last season, as well as City.

    Having said that, I agree that 12 days is far too short a time, to judge Stuart!

    Funny though that Plymouth and Swindon have a Sporting/football director

    Think Crewe do and others in div 2z

    I fear for McCall and the club if we don't appoint one and it's just McCall thinking he can do it all on his own. The club won't progress at all.

    Agree you only need to look at Rhodes appointment patterns of manager to understand we need one plus Rupp and Rhodes are clueless when it comes to football & creating an identity.

    Football clubs have them now and we need one urgently.

    The get that person to be the mouthpiece but can't make any decisions.

    So basically hiring someone because they're cowards and don't want to face the fans.

    No mate, he said he is mouthpiece of the Rupps and Rhodes now.

    It’s almost getting to the stage now where every game is becoming a must win if we are to get into playoffs. Certainly, we need to win our next away match and get rid of what is becoming a phobia. On a different note why is it that all the sides we play seem bigger and stronger than us. Only O’Donnell and Everton are the right size for this super heavyweight division. Two other big lads, Guthrie and Akpan, don’t look as though they punch their weight. Our other centre backs and centre forwards are about six foot, not small but not likely to outjump lads three inches taller.

    Point. But we could have done with more height playing into a gale in last match. Most teams I’ve seen recently have looked bigger than us.

    AOC seriously, he was a fault for both goals for me.

    Watch the goals again! He always goes wondering for the ball!

    Think he needs dropping! Becoming a liability again!

    Its true that, and it made me cringe when Stuart was berating it on the radio after the game. We didn't lose 1-0. We lost 2-1 after being one up. The way they were all over us, I wouldn't have been suprised if they had countered direct from our free kick (if it had been given) and scored anyway.

    Have to say, Pritchard has a few fans on here, but has he earned it?

    Looks a bit non league to me.

    Dunno, he's a non league guy who Bowyer picked up at Blackpool, Grayson thought he looked non-league so was happy to release him on a free, has come here and I'm not sure what his level is to be honest...

    I wouldn't be surprised if his next club was a National League side.

    Does anybody know if Longridge is on a one or two-year contract with us.? His loan period has been extended by Torquay.

    Rebuild to right the wrongs HAS to start NOW! Not a knee jerk reaction just a necessary step that will benefit and strengthen the set up.

    Agreed the planning has to start now. I assume just about everybody not under contract will be off.

    Taylor used to be a winger so make that nine who can play in that position and it’s a long time since I saw a decent cross from any of them. I remember a good one from Gibson that led to a goal at the beginning of the season but struggling to think of too many others from open play.
