    I dont think any manager , could get a decent showing from this squad or players. No where near enough attacking quality .
    No threat at set pieces, too many players taking the easy option of side ways or backward pass. No one making runs beyond the defence or able to play that pass to put them in and when we do get down the flanks, wingers and fullbacks , who's crosses are 99% awfull.
    Thank god so many players are out of contract and we have that chance to re-build. I would hate to have the summer thinking that the majority of these guys will be here next season . These last few games, not one of the out of contract players , has looked like they are playing for a new deal.

    Didnt watch today. First home game of the season I've missed apart from Colchester when I couldnt get Ifollow to work. Add 20 plus away matches to that and it says everything about how poor we have been since Bolton. T&S have to stand aside quickly if we are to progress.

    Lets face it they came for a point. 11 Behind the ball for most of the game. We did not have enough to break them down.

    Evans and Wood get the ball and then pass back. We need players with more of an attacking mind.

    I had a decent Saturday afternoon, only watched 25 minutes of the first half, which was apathetic.

    Gladly, the rest of my afternoon was really a good one.

    That is all.

    Carry on, as you were.

    100% agree with the need for ambition and that GR is the only owner ever to have shown that, yet because of the history of the outcome of his ambition we now have to be satisfied with caution and austerity not just from owners but from fans too.
    Guess we’ll never see anything higher than league 1 then.

    yep and that was drilled into them by the previous owners. Every announcement was about deficit, leaving VP, having to strip seats out etc

    Never want City to lose but can see your point.
    What a sad indictment on a club that has let us down yet again
    A match day thread with so few posts on the actual day of the match shows how far we have fallen in the past couple of months.Will watch as I have paid but ITV racing at Newmarket may have a bit more of my attention

    As all other clubs have come to us on on bad losing runs expected to lose today then. It really should be 0.0 both lost five on bounce. I just can’t have Harrogate finish season above us !!!!! But the fact we got Morecambe next can really see it happening

    During most of the season I myself was thinking 3nil city or big win here and it never came about but even worse than that we get beat.

    This is one of them games where it should be a good win but we face a opposition with one in 13, that one win was against us.

    We love helping opposition teams out of bad runs so I’m just hoping Scunthorpe are really that bad and we turn the tide of our bad run ;)

    I’m only hoping for some good performances from out of contract players I hope to be here next season, and at least see some pride and desire to want to be here next season. Aside of that I have little other interest in this game and won’t be purchasing an ifollow subscription.

    I never want my team to loose but the thing I dislike most about T & S is their combined lack of ability to come up with a plan B when changes are blatantly obvious.
    Like for like substitutions seldom inspire or have an impact on the final result.
    Maybe today against Scunthorpe United they can try something different but I won't hold my breath.

    One change up front... brilliant. Oh and Clarke back on the bench. Poor Burrell, hope he's gone back to his club. Complete waste of a loan.

    Who knows, we might win! Vaccination day for me, in the afternoon, so I'm giddy enough with the excitement that I put us down to win in the prediction league. But same old same old everywhere one looks, which is truly disappointing.
