    OK fair enough but thats his opinion - let him have it

    The club cannot afford to just sack the manager. You have to cut your cloth. If you went to the game fair play to be angry but How is just a fan like you.

    Three promotions! Two as joint-manager with Rob Scott into The Conference North (i.e. from level 7 to level 6) and one into League Two via a play-off final win against a part-time team. Yes, he had one impressive season at Shrewsbury which ended with a couple of near misses but actually his overall c.v. doesn't suggest he's someone to put your hopes in.

    I have to agree with you. Walsall didn't just go down to ten men they lost their main man, the only real danger I foresaw before kick-off.
    Hopkin has a terrible habit of saying things which come back to haunt him in the very next match. "We're now much more mentally strong than when I walked in and mentally strong enough for the relegation dog-fight" doesn't ring too true after today's capitulation.
    However, I remain of the opinion that Hopkin is the right man to be in charge next season even if that's going to be in League Two. His record at Livingston was excellent and I believe a manager needs at least two transfer windows before he can be fairly judged, except for extreme circumstances.

    I have just sent this email to the pathetic club that I adore, but am finished with. Part time supporter (since the late 1960s).

    'After that spineless, gutless and clueless performance today, I am done. I would not spend £1.50 (let alone £150) watching this shower of shite in Division 2. Why should I? I have been a season ticket holder since 1995. I thought getting rid of Rahic would remove the cancer. How wrong was I?


    Dejected, fed up and utterly demoralised. I used to enjoy BCFC and footy. No more. Better things to do now. I haven’t just lost my passion, I don’t give a flying feck.


    Send this onto the failure that is DH and the players. An utter disgrace, the whole bloody shower of shit. '

    Just how good was that situation, having taken Livingston down he then got two promotions, how difficult is that in the lower Scottish leagues ?.

    strange stand point you have.

    It’s my fault? Ha. I signed the players and pick the team and appoint the managers don’t I?

    At the start of February you said what he was doing was “wonderful”

    Now you’ve changed your tune and copied fordy and you want some sort of medal

    So you question Paul Hurst's promotion achievements in reply to my post, saying they were non league promotions, yet laud Hopkin for his record at Livingston in part time leagues in Scotland.

    Third tier to second, particularly when you've just taken them down, is not that impressive. To follow that up with immediate promotion to The Scottish Premiership was a notable achievement.

    I’d like you to point out where I’ve said that?

    Are you about 13 years old? Mum and dad let you on the Internet tonight?

    I reckon David Hopkin first game in charge was on par with today .... 2 nil up with 5 minutes to go and losing 3-2 to Blackpool!

    Another baffling example of why, since when has it become a reason to blame fans all the time for where we are?

    I don’t even think he’s a city fan is he? Which makes it even more baffling

    No. This one against a side who haven’t won at home in donkeys. Not scored in 6 hours of football and lost 9 from last ten games.
