    I wont be attending. Cant say I've said that about a home game in over 20 years of going. Not going to ruin my bank holiday by just getting pissed off watching those shithouses drift through a game with zero care for the club.

    The truth of the matter is that GB has given up on this squad and like the fans is looking forward to ripping this squad up and replacing it with his own players, The penny dropped with the players that most will either go back to parent clubs or be released and be parting from the club some time ago and it is hard to motivate players who have nothing to play for and know they are unwanted,

    Nothing about this season is acceptable. I hate what is happening to my club. I just hope there is the finances to sort this mess out.

    Stefan poured millions in to give his mate the chance to play football manager, so giving a few bob to Gary Bowyer to turn us around is the least he should do.
    And if we can take his word that's what he will do.

    So for the final two home games why don't the fans let this bunch of timewasters know how they feel?
    There's nothing to lose as this shower don't know the meaning of fight, even if they go a goal down.
    No "end of season clapping" when (and if the players have the balls to do a lap of honour - loose term for this lot) give it to them big style!

    It has been poor, but is it Bowyer or the players not responding to him? Let’s face it, they have not played for any manager.

    Totally, otherwise what's the point?
    I have to say though that as much as I am trying to feel optimistic, until it has been confirmed they have actually left the club, I will continue to live in fear of receiving an alert on my phone informing me that the club are delighted to announce Chicksen and NKP have signed contract extensions keeping them here for another 2 years. I had a nightmare about it a couple of weeks ago and I can't get it out of my mind.......

    I know
    Scary isn't it
    Would have liked to have seen him motivate this squad into a better points return than he has

    Well if we don't treat our situation with everything we have to throw at it then it's not worth 'playing' the game imo.

    I don't think i'll be going on Monday, not sure i'll be able to hold my shit together when i see the inevitable thoroughly nice chaps clapping this shower of shite at the beginning and end of the game. I won't be responsible for my actions.

    Exactly
    Where does the fight motivation and team spirit come from 90% is from the manager
    Southend and Wimbledon have shown us the way with players not as good on paper
    Once again the much maligned James Hanson will be in a league above us

    If the attitude of the players is that abject then it IS up to the Manager and Coaches to kick ass.Unforgivable to lack appetite or motivation and for that matter to side line the fans with their lack of desire.The season may well have gone, but it remains for GB to show us that he has cracked the whip and come down hard on his misfits.

    Totally agree I have never seen players with such an inept attitude at this club during the last 50 years some have undoubtedly got the talent but choose for whatever reason not to show it
    Players returning to parent clubs and or seeking new ones will have tarnished their reputation beyond repair with their performances this season and will struggle with only themselves to blame it's not only too late for us it's too late for them as well and all self inflicted
    They and their agents have lost any bargaining power they might have had and if clubs study videos of their performances may have even kicked a ball in professional football for the last time
    Roll on next season with a certain amount of in trepidation we are clinging to ifs at the moment
    The main stumbling blocks are the proof that. Mr Rupp will finance the disposing of these wasters and is GB up to rebuilding this squad with players capable of getting us out of L2
    Interesting times ahead !!!!

    Defending a manager and defending the players are two different things Fordy.

    I am not really in the mood to deal with your bating, so I would back off if I was you.
