    Another away tie to a team at least 3 leagues lower than us.

    A) guaranteed to be on TV
    B) extra income as a result of a)
    C) far more likely to progress
    D) enjoyed the game yesterday so much, anything remotely similar would be very enjoyable / most welcoming

    I can't understand how SMc could say he was happy with this squad at the end of the transfer window when there was headroom in the salary cap and supposedly funds available to strengthen. It's baffling.

    Eh listen, Oldham are a great side and I said to the lads you won’t come up against a team as good as they are this season.

    I am shocked to the core at how shocking we are all over the pitch. I am more or less lost for words to be honest.

    Heartbreaking and embarrassing watching or listening to this every week.

    I am worried that this weeks decisions will backfire very badly and see us sink out of the football league for ever

    Another terrible performance by a terrible group of players, assembled by a group of poorly performing club leaders who've all been rewarded with promotion and new contracts.

    And apparently our issues are the result of Social Media Toxicity.

    Carry on.

    Genuinely can't work up the energy to even be angry anymore. The incompetence and negligence shown throughout the club with the building of this 'squad' is scandalous.

    McCall rushing back Staunton is an absolute disgrace. Completely naive and negligent management.

    Another reason why he should be sacked - the man is a deluded idiot. This is the worse Squad I have witnessed in 35 years, and this Idiot thinks that they should be resigned. He wants putting out to graze unfortunately.

    Just a great strike - cut ROD a bit of slack guys! He stopped it being a massacre yesterday and has a defence that opens like a sinkhole in front of him, and a midfield that is shocking at tracking runners. He is a league 2 keeper but FAR from our biggest worry right now!

    Watt is shocking, thinks he is Glenn Hoddle trying to spray passes about, dont think he has found his man once yet.

    I am almost lost for words at how poor we are. I am glad I have not been watching this every week on IPlayer.

    Worst City team I have seen in 55 years. Yet we reward the clueless manager with an extended contract. Bonkers!!

    These interviews are going downhill fast in terms if expectations.

    2 weeks ago it was "we're going for playoffs", last week it was "watch and see", now we're just trying to get a team that can pass to each other.

    Give it a couple of weeks and we'll just be happy if the lads get their boots on the right feet.

    Tomorrow's match will have no baring whatsoever on the return FA cup match. Macca will be giving youth a chance and they will not be worried as they are already through.

    Impressed with Oxford City so far. You would be hard pressed to determine which is the league 1 side and which is the non league side. Oxford play in same league as Tonbridge, so highlights how professional and good a performance from City on Saturday

    Not grumpy Dave, just bewildered that they extended McCalls contract after what is an awful season. Couldn’t we have just let the season play out before any decision over his future, nobody else would want him.
