    Think you need to stop what you are dong! Look at your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, midget and if non of them are in your life then your dog, cat, or fish. Strip off naked and go running around your street until the police come to pick you up and take you to a safe place!

    This is borderline non league quality. Terrible football.

    Even if McCall does walk. I just can't see Parkinson returning. He'll take one look at that squad and realise that it's going to to be an even bigger job than the last time he came in. He's probably sick to the back teeth of managing basket case clubs as well. I really hope I'm wrong, though.

    Stuart is a soul in conflict largely due to his mis-management of recruitment and mis-judgement of a viable squad size. Two errors which have accelerated our demise. He can't really blame those players he inherited any more than those he brought in.Even more reason for him to have expanded the squad..but being on the back foot, he must take responsibility for the failure to act. If he needed more support he should have insisted at the outset and not made do. Somewhere along the line there has been a lot of misplaced trust, although you cannot question his self belief. Unfortunately that is not enough although our CEO feels he can back it.

    Did he really say he wishes we had goal scoring centre backs, then baulk at the idea of signing a goal scoring centre back free agent in Rhys?

    Hahahaha!!!!!!
    We managed to lose to Barrow, and they're abysmal.

    Scunthorpe are kicking on a little bit, can't see them being below 18th.

    We're absolutely ruined as a club, very little promise on the pitch, even less off it.

    The biggest thing for me with Chris beech is the attitudes of players - the likes of Donaldson woudnt be making the match day squad under him (as he won’t work hard enough).

    we do the simple things right, defend get forward fast and take many shots. We are a big physical team who will outscrap any team.

    personally, from what I’ve seen today, I’d question it Mcall understands what’s required for L2 at present. I’d also be very disappointed in the way you set up, any form of pace at our back line and we struggle - instead you go route one - thank you very much we’ll take the 3 points.

    your in a similar position fans wise as us a few years back, you think your bigger than L2 (you probably are), however - Patrick the type of player you’ve slated for not scoring enough is a valuable asset. Gets us up the pitch fast, reliving defensive pressure has a shot keeper spills it, Melish scores the tap in. (Whilst as fans Patrick’s and Melishs are frustrating they are typical L2 players who if it all clicks together will go higher)

    Pace, physicality abs effort are all that’s needed in L2, Chris beech has shown us it’s simple don’t over complicate it and you’ll do well.

    I think a lot of us on here are committed supporters, who are for want of a better term, are ‘battle hardened’.
    It is a lot of the casual fans and in particular the younger generations, who have witnessed 3 years of serious decline, who are likely to become disenchanted or not have an interest in the first place.
    The potential to go to the neighbouring ‘beast in the east’, will appeal to some.
    City really have to consider the implications that they are fast becoming the Austin/Morris-BL-Rover-MG of the footballing world. A name from the past, who has current products that have fallen out of fashion and do not appeal to the public at large.

    I see McCall is rushing to get Novak on the bench for this one. He really is desperate now and this is an issue of player welfare. He did it with Staunton and now he's out for 3 months and he's been doing it with Evans who gets injured every time he comes back.

    Devine, Riley and Patrick were all crap and were all rightfully let go. The fact that we've managed to somehow recruit worse than them in the likes of DMH and Sutton is a damning indictment of just how bad our business has become.

    Energy and drive is wasted when you’re sat in the stands for 40% or more of the time because of stupid discipline. He was saying in a t&a article he won’t change. Idiotic. If he doesn’t change he needs to go. We are struggling with a small squad as it is.

    Stuart McCall would not get another managers job in English football. He’s finished here

    Let this sink in boys......we sacked Bowyer when we dropped out of the play off places 10 months ago.
    Stuart keeps his job when we drop into the relegation places.

    Why is he going on about Novak and Guthrie?

    It's not like we missed a hatful of chances. We created nothing!! Novak is going to have zero impact!
