The same thing is said every season and yet everyone still seems to renew.

 

I’ve been against this formation from the start. To be fair to Hughes, it has yielded excellent away results, but it just isn’t good enough at home.

I find us dull, boring and predictable. If we find a way to win those matches I wouldn’t be so fussed. Adored Parky and he was cut from the same cloth. But our home form is wretched.

are we incapable of using a different set up at home compared to away? It doesnt say much for the coaching staff that they haven’t found a way to break these teams down when the same flaws have been evident since the Doncaster game.

was willing to give us the benefit of the doubt that day as the Osadebe leg break effected the game. But we’re still so slow at getting it forward, freeze cook out of games, contribute little goals from elsewhere in the side. Do we even work on set pieces? How many have we bagged from corners this year, for example?

Hughes seems a top bloke. I really hope he succeeds, but I’ve got my doubts. Every home game is awful.

 

We can’t replace him. He needs two seasons. Yes we all want to go up this but we have to face reality. We just cannot afford both in terms of players and reputation to dumping managers every 6/10 months who then want to play their own style.

Only he and the board know what was discussed in terms of ambition both this season and next.

 

I agree,we have to go up this season or there will be huge ramifications,I don’t think Hughes will be here,we’ll certainly lose Harry Lewis and another rebuild will be required with probably a reduced budget. The club put a lot into Hughes budget this season but can’t see that continuing for another 4th division season.

 

Can we also bare in mind that Leyton Orient finished 13th and Stevenage finished 21st.

Then we can quit offering excuses and demand better.

 

Our 'wobbles' tend to go on for 4 or 5 seasons ... !!

 

As boring as Bowyer was sacking a manager in the playoffs is a mistake, although some want to repeat the trick now so…

 

Easy 12 points. Anything less will be disappointing.

 

No need to panic.
The league is very inconsistent below the top 2.
It's no surprise that those top 2 teams have managers who've done it before.
To lose twice and still be 6 points off 3rd and still in the top 7 shows that if this is just a blip which I believe it is, then 2 wins before Christmas puts us right back on track.

 

I was also thinking of that game. Swansea hadn't scored a single goal on their travels until rocking up at Valley Parade

 

sorry but we have to go up this season because frankly thousands of fans simply won’t renew again ...............

 

that goes for a hell of a lot of people ....... it really is hard work having to go there now ....... wouldn’t mind if it was entertaining but it’s dull and we ain’t getting the results out of it ........... seriously sat in a warm pub is more appealing than being sat down in the cold while we mess around at the back with it

 

yeah but we ain’t bleeding winning either how many months ........ not games .......months absolutely shocking

 

Not won at home for 3 months and the performances are growing increasingly worse week on week yet you're expecting fans to be "pleased"?

Good luck with that.

 

I am actually, "Not won at home for 3 months" is a tad misleading as we have played 4 home games in that time.. instead of 6 which is typically what youd expect in that time if not more. theres a gap of 5 weeks between the northhampton game and the rochdale game... why are you being harsh agaisnt the team you support? that makes no sense! you didnt actually answer my question about what "demand better" actually means. and the process of which "demanding better" actually does something. if it was as binary as that why don't all the football teams in the world do it?

To suggest a team cannot have a bad run of form is pushing madness.

 

You think people are only concerned about the 2 latest losses?

The performances have been shaky as a whole all season and we're yet to dominate a side in the way both Northampton and Orient (after the first 10 minutes) dominated us.

You can dress it up all you want and manipulate the stats to back up your positive spin but fans can see it with their own eyes, regardless of what is written on forums.

 

To add from other post.

Both Gillingham and Rochdale in bottom 4 and both lowest scorers in the league. Gillingham haven't scored a goal in the last 6 league games, since 22nd October and have scored 6 goals all season in 20 games.

Massive two games, in our quest to stay in the play off place s.
