    I think to blame bowyer is a bit harsh... he has nothing to work with. No pace out wide, defence is terrible, and a shout out to Doyle today! Fantastic strikers instinct :kissing:

    I would rather watch a youth team out there than this group of players. Honestly, they are that bad.

    I agree. We were gone when took over. The Walsall result killed us off. It takes a few weeks for a manager to get his ideas over and it’s too late for this side.

    I’d hoped he would give us a fighting chance and at least make us hard to beat and put up a fight. Just goes to show how poor the squad is

    Its clearly L2 for us now regardless of how optimistic a person you are, such a shame.

    This simply shows why organisations that are well structured, who follow a plan, that take a conventional approach to business do the best. Similarly why organisations that are built on dreams and optimistic expectations that are out of touch with the status quo tend not to be the best.

    Our players performances are simply a result of a poorly managed club. They deserve to be where they are in the table and us fans dont deserve to have to watch it. Edins ego, vision and somewhat living life in dreamland gutted the organisation and we now pick the pieces up in L2.

    Cadis, Ball, Butterfield and Obrien are the only commendable players

    Akpan though will be decent in L2 - silver lining?

    I can't remember watching such a poor group of players. And we have had some sh** in the past.

    Bowyer has nothing to do with this... I would like him to be given the opportunity next season. That's if he wants it after the last month haha

    Rupp is as much to blame. Careless and took his eye off it and it’s costing him big time. Financially for sure.

    The issue is out of the 5 players listed about, realistically I can see only one still being here, maybe two at a push.

    We should be giving Bowyer a 2 year deal. He's a steady manager in the lower leagues and we simply can't be having to go out and find a new manager to start everything again.

    A couple of his decisions could be questioned but I don't think he's done much wrong, and he has such a shambolic squad that it's hard to pin much of what we're seeing on the pitch on him after just 4 games. I dont think this group of players are capable of properly carrying out any managers instructions.

    He needs to be allowed to reconstruct the side and get some stability back into things.

    Can one of the players come on and tell us exactly what is said in the huddle. I mean it's the most pointless thing ever. Why pretend you're bothered? Just get on with it.

    He doesn’t escape blame but we’ve played 4 different formations in 4 games, changing from the one decent performance we’ve had against Peterborough (4-4-2) , to the 4-2-3-1 we saw today.

    These bunch of clowns don’t have the intelligence to take on one change, never mind the 4 since he’s been in. Add to that the formations under Hopkin and Collins, then it’s no wonder their brains are fried.

    Only just been able to hear Bowyer comments, man he was hurting. Very rarely heard a manager say of his players 'they can get lost' if these whimps are going to feel sorry for themselves, he has obviously read the riot act to these 'so called' professionals. I know Black Adder among others dont want Bowyer at the club but I see it very differently, we are up shit creek and we have the worst team in terms of character in my memory (not the worst players), NO manager is going to get a consistent tune out of this shower of feeble individuals.
    But, as has also been pointed out, we urgently need someone at the top of the club to tell us the fans what the f... is going on and what is going to happen.

    Nobody, but we still have to get rid, and pay up their contracts if that is what it takes! Taking this toxic bunch of tossers into league 2, we might as well announce we have given up before a ball is kicked.

    Spot on! I don’t rate Bowyer and don’t want him as manager next season. What he sees in Anderson to give him 3 starts in last 3 games is beyond comprehension.

    Winner! In all honesty this season was done last week. No manager would be able to get a tune out of this gutless, useless shower of total shite. Today was in my view an all time low point in 45 years of watching City.
    To move forward we need someone to rebuild. We need the right characters with guts and heart. Caddis apart I saw none of that today in what was a must win game.
    Clear the decks in the summer and start again.
