    Just a minute @banbrotam@banbrotam even Charlie Wyke say's it was the fans reaction at Blackpool that got the players to take a long hard look at themselves.

    CHARLIE Wyke is grateful to the Valley Parade faithful for not turning on City.

    The anger that spilled out at Blackpool could have carried on into the games that followed.

    “They could have turned on us really badly but they didn’t.

    “They got straight behind us. They could see we were working hard and responded. It is all they ask from us, to work hard.

    “You see a lot on social media asking the players to work hard and it was a bit of a wake-up call to us all.”

    What has the fact that Bury are being relegated got to do with my comment, Bury are going down even thought they have paid big fees for players, where as my comment was we'll still have a club to follow having replaced the likes of Wyke with as @Ricc@Ricc suggested Renford Rejects.

    My point is we are just as likely to be relegation fodder spending silly money we can’t afford. As we are building on the decent players we have got continuing to find some younger players and or two decent loans.

    I'm flattered that the players take notice of the fans Bronco but WTF is the manager for if he can't at the very least get across the hard work message. I'm no football manager but I think even I could do that bit

    Well two managers over the course of twenty or so games couldn’t do it

    And I don't see where I disagree with this? I did say confidence couldn't get much lower after that game

    I do find it strange that a heavy loss to a half decent Blackpool team (as we even saw on the opening game of the season) get's a reaction from the players, but the equally inept Wimbledon home defeat didn't

    Methinks, it's a combination of your / our anger and Grayson doing what a Manager should do

    My point is, that we can call this 'green shoots' of recovery - even though it could be very small!!

    As much as you make some valid points you cannot use Jack Marriot as an example of patience. This is his first season at Peterborough and he’s the divisions leading scorer.

    We had a glaring opportunity to go for Gregory but for some unknown reason didn’t bother. That turned out well.

    To be fair the last four home performances have been an improvement on our seasons home form.

    I think the reason was finance we weren’t paying transfer fees in those days

    I think the problem with McCarten is the fee paid. I know it sounds obvious but i think fans get carried away with spending £200,000. Lets be honest what does £200,000 get you these days in football? 200 grand in todays football literally is a token gesture, you are much better putting the money towards wages.

    You are talking absolute shite.
    not that I expect anything different.

    There's signing decent players from the lower leagues, and there's signing absolute dross because they'll play for peanuts.

    I never said anything about spending millions, and I don't want us signing crap because theyre cheap. MIDDLE GROUND are key words that you seem to miss spectacularly every single fecking time.

    I
    It begs the question then Park, what the hell has gone on in the background that can have stopped the players giving the minimum 100% effort in defiance of the manager?

    As has been discussed elsewhere, there is or has been some bad stuff going on.

    Yeah maybe because he's always on the bench

    This could clear up the myth about whether we paid a transfer fee for Aaron Mclean. If we weren’t paying transfer fees then we didn’t pay one for Mclean.

    Obviously Simon Grayson couldn't, just as his predecessor couldn't during that shocking period, I can't get excited on what I've seen since the Blackpool game, even given we looked to be turning the corner with the two hard fought games against Wigan and Shrewsbury then the victory against Portsmouth, then they don't turn up at what should have been a very winnable game at Rochdale.

    Didn’t Gregory move in the summer after we had already brought in Mclean
