    Long before Bowyer arrived, those that came before him had assembled a group of players that are not a team and never will be, no matter who is put in charge of them. But yet you continue to lay the blame at Bowyer's door. Why?

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 @Tony Wilkinson@Tony Wilkinson @Rcbantam@Rcbantam who was the last manager you guys actually supported out of curiosity? If it was someone recent then I will accept your views as balanced. If not why keep trolling for the manager to go?

    Well I am not worried. I hate losing more than you, but I am not short sighted. He will get a good budget, and be able to buy the players he needs.

    As a none city fan I've been saying that all season. They are largely decent to good players for this level its just other things are preventing them from operating as a unit. Changing managers, lack of confidence, tactics that don't suit them, play style that doesn't fit them, other players that don't compliment them. There is also perhaps an mentality issue in that it would maybe seem they are all a bit fragile which helps make things a bit brittle and don't have enough people with strong mentalities to offset and drag such players up

    Nooooo!!! This is what I am on about short sightedness!!! Let’s hope we have a good season preferably with promotion at the end of it.

    They take great glee in lashing out, at anyone, despite the overwhelming evidence that the problems existed long before Bowyer or Hopkins were appointed. It's a form of madness.

    We've been down since Wallsall (not mathematically) but most were accepting it, so are fans really concerned, 4 more games the sooner this season is over the better, Bowyer know's what's required.
    Sit down with a large Gin (you come across as Gin type) and chill mate,the season is now over not the time for recriminations, as Bowyer said not good enough in both final thirds, even with a much better performance.

    We either have @Fordy117@Fordy117 wanting chairman, managers to go non stop. Or Guys like @Park bantam@Park bantam whos head is still yet to come out of Edins arse.

    To have defended Edin is non-forgivable, A simple I got it so wrong would suffice as some are easily fooled. But on the other hand to blame Rhodes for the job he has done to date is borderline insane.

    Listening to Bowyer on radio Leeds the guy knows what he wants and who he wants, we are going to see a clear out that should have happened at Christmas.

    Fair enough! I thought you wanted him out too. I have not been back to VP since Edin sacked him. Although Fordy Im sure has never supported any manager.

    We are living on taking the positives + improved performances
    but it all still = losing.

    It seems like our destiny as we are incapable of winning football
    matches.Down and by a considerable margin.We really are a sorry
    team but, I am hoping we can put a side together that will get promoted
    at the first attempt as it will be the only way we will start to forget this
    dreadful chapter in our history.

    Can be relegated on 'good' Friday and if coventry's performance today gets replicated, it could be double figures!

    Pre-season is Massive. Not results but to build the mentality within your squad. Bowyer has my backing but.... I am wanting top 6. And before anyone says other.. Im near 100% we will be the bookies favourite to bounce back. So a top 6 is hardly pushing it. We need rebuilding, yes but we cant be lower table or there about next season.

    Can't disagree with anything you have said
    And to be fair it's very early days yet
    However 6 straight defeats is 6 straight defeats very poor for a team fighting for survival
    On paper we have the players who are too good to go down and have had all season
    The quality of managers has been the constant let down all season
    Will get pelters for this but after Mr Rahic disappeared my money would have be firmly on
    Stuart Mcall keeping us in this league

    Is that what you honestly think............................seriously mate he was brought in here to try and get some results unfortunately he hasn't (neither has any other manager/coach this season), he will be taking note of what's required and hopefully have any new players identified early for the coming season.
