    I'd usually say something like that was a bad day at the office, but I think the players were working from home tonight.

    Seems his main idea, is that we've just lost our first home game of the season, and that's all that matters. Totally ignored the question about understanding the fans frustration. Going on again about deep problems within the club, but he can't talk about it. He's put his foot in it, by nailing on that we're signing players in January. Could come back to bite him on the bum that statement.

    "We may need to change the style of play a wee bit"

    One slight concession that things aren't working.

    And to think some were jerkimg off over 45 minutes of football against Bristol Rovers. We've just been completely outplayed by a team promoted last season who hadn't score away in goodness knows how many hours. My enthusiasm for this club has been eroded to a point where I'm not sure I can arsed.

    He will go long before the Owner or CEO
    Must be doubts he will make January never mind be allowed to spend imaginery money
    All these problems must have been here when he signed on the dotted line I presume
    The noise (or lack of it) coming from Morecambe when we poached their manager was the first warning shot for us

    It may seem the most obvious explanation but until he says so, people will just continue speculating and the rumour mill will be rife. Its not helpful to anyone to play these games.

    Great summary of tonight's debacle
    What makes you think Mr Rupp will splash the cash in January or any other club will be daft enough to buy some of our players

    Honestly I have no confidence in this side against teams with momentum who cane up last season. Held at home by the mighty Barriw, fully expect a tough test when Sutton come to Town.

    And he’s not the poor manager you think he is just because you don’t like him. He’s the only one off the field with any footballing knowledge like it or not, he goes and we’re stuck with dummies off field and another poor transfer window to look forward to.

    But he can't tell us what they are? How about he just gets on with the job he's paid to do I stead of sending out cryptic messages.

    He does come out with a lot of bollocks at times but as I said before he is a bit of a weird one :rolleyes:
    Seems to have the opinion that us fans have no eyes, no memories - he just plays whatever track he feels like on any given day.

    Hope we at least put on a performance tomorrow that looks like we know what we are doing, we are organised and motivated - surely that is not too much to ask from a manager who has done it and knows what needs to happen?

    As long standing fans, without it we would have nothing.

    Don't get the clamour for Songo'o to be in midfield. He's been good at centre half and was poor when he played CM, so I'd leave it be. Canavan needs to earn his place back like anyone else.

    Like this line up but would put Robinson in for Gilliard, I see no reason why Robinson cannot play the same role that Angol played that suited us so well, He has surprising pace, holds the ball up well and good in the air,

    They are all over us. Look quicker, sharper and more creative. Aren’t they meant to be rubbish?
