Bad vibes in and around the stadium tonight.
Bowyer as got to go.
The fan base has been turning against him for weeks.
Negativity in abundance.
Won't be long before it turns ugly in the stands.
Clueless management.

Bear in mind we only scored when their right back was injured and couldn't challenge Akpan for the first, and then was off the pitch leaving a gaping hole for the second. Mellor absolutely appalling. Another shambolic performance. We were outplayed and overrun all game.

It's nothing Doyle didn't do at Swindon, he missed chances but crucially scored as well.
Can't criticise Vaughan too much, he cemented a two goal lead.
Should be straightforward from there.How, Chad and bantamlad92 like this. -

After we went 2 nil up, despite being against the run of play, I thought here we go, finally we’re going to steamroller a team. We were chasing, closing down and Vaughan almost got another. Then, for some reason we sat back and let them get into the game again. Gilleads goal was something out of a 5 a side match - just rolled into the net because he had so much time and space.
Second half we didn’t even turn up. Second to every ball and the midfield of Akpan, Palmer and Cooke just went missing. Was only a matter of time until they scored again.
And when they did, he brings on a like for like player in Reeves for Akpan! Devit should have been brought on. Good enough for the bench, good enough for the last 20 you’d think. Palmer, I had to check it wasn’t him who’d come on for Connelly such was his disappearing act.
Mellor was abysmal. I thought at least Wood tried to get forward.
Doyle and Vaughan showed signs of working together, but without any support of any kind, they are on a hiding to nothing.
Once Vaughan went off and Paudie was given the armband, I at least expected him to rally the troops. Nope. Nothing.
The keeper did alright and looks to have confidence, but it’s the middle of the park where we desperately need someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck.
Very very disappointing yet again.QCFC BANTAM, Petrov and Fordy117 like this. -

We didn't get out of our own half for the first 8 minutes of the second half. WTF was said at half time??
Can't blame Mellor, he's trying to earn a living, its Bowyer who chooses that shower over Henley.
How did Palmer stay on instead of Akpan??
Not once did any of our midfield put their bodies on the line for the cause.
For me the players aren't playing for Bowyer.
He shouts at them whilst trying to instruct some kind of bollocks towards them but they look the other way and ignore him.
Northampton, Colchester and Plymouth winning again.
Can we get some winning form going??
Is our pitch contributing?
So many questions, but I can't see us finding any solutions.Inspector, Big bad bobby and Onside like this. -

Looking back to last season against Blackpool and that defeat at home. Bowyer was crowing that he'd signed most of those players who played with strength, pace and athleticism. I think we all hoped he'd bring that style to us.
He's correct that he signed them but he wasn't responsible for the way they tore us apart. Maybe the right coach could do the same with this bunch and when he's at another club, he will say the same thing.
I'd like him to succeed but as a few have said, we don't have an identity or blueprint of how we're going to set up. He doesn't know his best 11 and isn't getting the best out of the squad. He needs Devitt and Donaldson to change his fortune or I fear another managerial change and the merry go round starts again.borderlescott, Dubois and Onside like this. -
We severely miss someone to connect midfield to those up front. The lack of consistent wingers or the likes of Pritchard, Devitt and Donaldson who either have the ability to make space or hold the ball up, is strangling us.
Palmer is one of the guilty parts of this. Perhaps there’s a decent player in there, but on performances so far not in this City set up. Can’t help but think we need to give McCarten an opportunity to sit behind the front two and try link this together until we have some of the returning players back fit.Stop hovering to collapse...

Palmer really, really irritates me with his inept and negative performances but he has played a good few games at a higher level so I’d he really this bab or is this the Bowyer affect?Jayteebee, Rocket and RonnieBrown like this.
