    I’m sure some would still try and shield this lot from the dogs abuse they deserve. Getting off light, same as Rupp. The sooner we can lose him as well, the better. Destroying our club, no other way of dressing it up. It’s hardly surprising though, writings been on the wall for ages, when you have a surplus of mediocre gutless footballers, you’ll always be up against it. Fighting for our lives, can any of them honestly say they have even done that? They deserve to go down well before the final games, people should stop wasting their time on this lot.

    Playing just one up front and the slowest midfield ever in a game we HAD to win was a disgraceful team selection and formation, In a must win game we played not to lose rather than to take the game to them and win it, That is not the players fault it is a poor manager more interested in getting a job next year than saving us this

    I respect your opinion. Just think that tacking options have been missing all season... not just under bowyer

    Agreed we have had some shocking formations and team selections but when you are desperate and only wins will do you have to change at home to a more attacking style. If only to keep the fans onside as we go down,

    Well I have come to the conclusion that these players are unable to follow instructions, there isn’t one football brain between them, maybe Caddis. They don’t play as a team, it’s like watching school kids at times!

    That was because the manager picked the slowest midfield players who allowed them to run through us because we could not keep up, Perhaps if we had attacked them more that would not happen as the best form of defence is attack but ultimately poor team selection and playing only one up front in a must win game cost us the defeat

    Yes maybe, but you have to have a really good attacking team to be able to do that. Now what have we been short of this season? Goals! I will give you we are slow, but I haven’t noticed that he is leaving pacy midfielders on the bench! So our strikers find it difficult to score, we have the slowest midfield I have seen for a long time, and a powder puff defence.

    Like I say... understand people have different opinions. But I disagree.
    As soon as we attacked.... you saw the aftermath.... the flood gates opened. You can blame that on imobile players in the middle.... but say you were to go for an attacking team... who would you chose as a starting 11. And keep in mind that your back four are terrible, so you have to cover them some how.

    Probably bemused by how poor a team can be?

    Finally plucked up the courage to watch the goals. So weak and avoidable however give credit, their second was a great finish and the save from the penalty was excellent.

    We have a few players who are more mobile in the squad just not in the actual team picked along with some real duffers that played when we have better,

    That is because of a combination of a poor team picked that is slow and ponderous at times, As for Bowyer if he keeps his job which would be a mistake IMO . like you I hope he turns us round and brings us back up, As for betting it is not something I do but would have won one already as someone on here bet me we would not be relegated just after xmas, I forecast we would and refused his bet because like with your offer it is something I do not do

    Top 10 ha ha top 10 of div 2? You happy with that?

    You give any manager a competitive budget for us next season and we will be in the top 10.

    You're not even saying he will get us in the play offs at least!

    Currently it's a massive no from me for Bowyer based on results now and failure to get the best out of these players. Most of these players like it or not will still be here next season. We need a decent coach if I am honest like a Steve Clarke or someone. Bowyer isn't what this club needs now.

    Most on here seem to think we would suffer a double relegation so yes I’d be happy to be competing up that end of the table.

    Not all managers could. We have a top 6 budget this season and we are bottom. Notts county have a big budget for league two and are bottom
