    Unfortunately whether you like it or not Gary Bowyer WILL be our manager next season, so I'd suggest you get used to it, unless of course you want another manager before next season?.

    So in your over simplistic childish perspective on life any under 14's side should be able to beat Coventry (or whoever) if only they had the right manager!
    Unfortunately in the real world things are a bit more complicated.

    The positive for me is we create chances.

    But as soon as they go forward they score against our powerpuff defence. Even if we took one of our chances today early on we still wouldn’t win the game. Look at Walsall. We cannot defed to save our lives. And that will always cost us. You are going to have off days in front of goal.

    Look at Peterborough at home. We weren’t great but we stayed in the game at 0-0 and then took our chances later on. Since then we haven’t had a chance to do that

    Genuinely not sure what you expected to see, it's the worst City squad I've ever seen. The most defeats in a season since 1903 and you're complaining that GB should of done more, I can't wait for him to feed thousands with a loaf of bread and a bit of fish too.

    There will be plenty clapping off the lads because they tried.

    I read this rhetoric now and again.

    How many fans actually think things are okay as long as players are trying?

    A handful on here, and a couple of thousand in the stands? It's a minority that applaud an athletic contest, its not a big deal. Let them get on with enjoying football how they want.

    The majority either storm out after a goal, boo, or rant and rave on here.

    We need to stop obsessing over a minority who refuse to bombard the players and club.

    Move on.

    I don’t disagree, so in a sense it’s contradictory. But my mindset is that I’ve renewed for next season entirely on blind faith - it’s the last chance the club has to start acting properly, or I’m done. I’m giving Rupp a chance to undo his mess. But I’m not tolerating shite indefinitely. It’s the same reason why I’ve not been since Blackpool and won’t be going again this season - I’m not offering support to the current bunch.
    And if there’s not wholesale change in the summer, I won’t be going much next season either.

    The suggestion was Anthony O'Connor might be a better holding midfielder than Akpan if we are going to play Paudie at centre back, particularly in the air. I fail to see how this thought is promoting a stench of mediocrity. It's just a technical suggestion to how we could be doing a little better with the underperforming squad we have here.

    The current ticket pricing maximises TOTAL revenue for the club. If it did not work, it would have been dropped long ago.

    We should have signed Jordy Hiwulia when we had the chance he will torment us with his pace today

    I wouldn’t worry. We never turn up against anyone.

    Thanks for your time with us Krusty. It's been terrible. I hope you don't come back to the team ever again. I shall not miss your triangle shaped head on the football field one little bit.

    It’s not even worth getting wound up about or caring.

    I genuinely don't think he would, he can't get on the pitch and kick the ball for them can he? If Pep went to Huddersfield do you think he could turn them into a winning side? I doubt it, managers can implement something but if they haven't got the right people in the building it's impossible.

    Stop manager blaming. This set of players don’t fit together no matter what manager is in charge. NKP shows a complete lack of concentration and now he gets himself off. Just a symbol of our season

    Agree with this.

    The transfers I want to see first in the summer are defenders and a keeper.

    We need to build from the back.

    Nobody is disputing that it's dire but it's a pattern that has been consistent throughout the season, barring the purple patch in December. You can argue all you like that it's Bowyer's fault but like others have said, most of the players had already given up before he arrived so it's no surprise what is happening now.

    Thank you thank you...I'll be here all season...and next...and next...and next...

    We can quibble about the details, but you're right, this will be one of our worst seasons ever, whether you look at wins, or losses, or goal difference, or losing streaks, or ability to gain points from losing positions, or general ineptitude, or character, or what have you. Harrumph!
