    Too late and we can't buy a win, the game is well and truly over and you could see it coming after we lost to Walsall.

    We don’t have any winners in the team. We can’t score and concede soft goals when on top.

    Time to throw in the towel as supporters and hope for better next season.

    On the 19:00 Leeds train to Bristol Friday. Team might have packed in but my support hasn’t.

    Can we stop these ridiculous "must win" posts please.

    We're down. We've been down since February 1st and these bunch of spineless shiverers don't have enough bollocks to change that.

    Yes I do think we would stay up with 51 points, but lets not delude ourselves, I have more chance of a threesome with Elle MacPherson and Cindy Crawford as that happening

    we've lost our last 5 games. we've scored 1 goal in those games. just 1.

    and yet some people still think we might suddenly win all our remaining games and stay up.:joy:



    I say people.... mainly just banbrotam and park,

    I think it is all about timing. They started the run when there was still an opportunity to make a move up the table.

    We finally lost this season when we somehow contrived to lose at Walsall, a team on the back of five straight defeats, had their main goal scorer sent off after 6 minutes, went one down on the 12th minute................then despite this, they score on the 42nd, go ahead on the 47th minute. Credit to City to getting back to 2-2, however when you think their heads would be going down, they score again and despite the superiority in numbers and nearly half an hour to get at least a point, City achieved a defeat!

    For me that was it! No surprises with the subsequent results after that game. What could/should have been the start of a resurgence, was a sad defeat.

    We made some silly changes for that game and went to defensive

    HopkinS killed the Barnsley game stone dead before we had even kicked off with his changing of the team. Highly likely we would have lost but HopkinS made damn sure we did.

    There's more chance of Kai Bruenker scoring 30 goals a season in a professional football league than us winning the next 2 games.

    We've been down since the final whistle after that match! That was the moment when I stopped the old ...'if we win our next game we will be...''

    At least we don’t have the stress of the play offs to worry about : unamused:

    One goal in five games means sadly its too late. Can't score can't win.

    Blackpool for me, when our serious lack of mental strength was exposed for all to see. I went to BR last year, we lost. I feel like we have been losing for over a year. I just hope we can put a squad together next season so we can compete.

    You're meaning Hopkins first game at Blackpool, have to agree, 6 minutes plus injury time 2 - 0 up and we defended like a Sunday morning team, how the likes of Kilgallon were missed that day.

    Five games are winnable lol. We can't score m8, one of the pre requisites of winning a football match.

    I admire your optimism, but I can only assume you havent watched us much this season to think its still possible that this shambles can pull off a great escape

    I just wish we'd hurry up and get it mathematically confirmed. As long as it's possible I'll still have that little hope that we'll do it and after all it's the hope that kills you.

    Many valid reason that folk mention as to when, where and why we've lost our way

    One other that I felt was a factor was when we we'd kept four clean sheers out of five, winning four out of five.
    We were due to play struggling Shrewsbury next, however they'd had a good cup run, so we had a free weekend.
    So after a two eek break, next up was Barnsley, a far superior side.
    They hammered us in a total one-sided 3:0 game.
    We never recovered the previous form.
    Our weak underbelly, turned out to be a quivering spineless jelly
