    7 losses in a row.

    This is god awful form. Is Bowyer all that?

    That said, we need stability, we can’t just sack the manager every time we lose a few games. Let’s just hope it’s the players and that he can get some better results next year.

    If and to me it's a big if Mr Rupp attempts to bankroll the club out of trouble
    Have the fans and more importantly Mr Rupp got the confidence in the current set up to prevent a repeat of what we have seen this season
    Genuine Question

    Well are most certainly light in the back room, that will need to be rectified as soon as possible. We have GB as manager, that is not going to change. Do you mean JR? We do need a front man or woman to sell this club.

    It remains to be seen if he can bring in a squad capble of taking us back up
    Everyone says he has nothing to work with which is not entirely true
    DH got a very good tune out of exactly the same squad in December

    "Let's just hope it's the players"??????

    I'm absolutely dumbfounded this is still up for debate.

    It kind of is. I mean yes granted they are shit, and spineless and relegation fodder - however are they 7 losses in a row bad? Are they as completely hopeless as we’ve been recently?

    We weren’t even this bad under Hopkin. Or Collins for that matter.

    He did but then that very same squad had 2 weeks off, completely fell to pieces and never recovered.

    Just as they did last January under different stewardship
    They all need clearing out and starting a fresh
    The big question is has GB got the wear with all to do this financially and ability wise

    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!

    DB does need to be firm with the Board. Those that he doesn’t want need to be posted elsewhere, we can’t have them knocking around causing mayhem.

    Individually and on paper, no, but collectively they do not have enough fight, motivation, team spirit and desire to get out of the mess they have created. Look at Southend and Wimbledon - individually and on paper, their respective squads are nowhere near as good as ours but yet they are both currently sitting outside the bottom four, showing just what is achievable when you have that fight, togetherness, desire and team spirit.

    GB is weakening his position with the board every game
    Doubts must surely be creeping in in the boardroom
    We are looking at record number of consecutive defeats under him

    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

    True - and I had suffered the Docherty era.
