    Rupp has obviously told Rhodes there's no more hand outs now. Trimmed it all back. Best thing to happen now is hope we get new owners.

    Sean McCarthy on the right, Bernie Wright down the middle and Phil Babb (a classy defender) down the left. That was the way Doherty set up with his three pronged attack. Didn’t work.

    It doesn't reset mate. The form and results have been shocking hence why we're 3rd from bottom on the form table. We have 4 points from 15.

    Hopefully, we will win today and put in a good performance but the pressure has to be firmly on Bowyer as the results haven't been good enough and the football dire.

    Bowyer thinks he is.

    Why do you constantly make up shit to suit your own agenda?

    A striker with a better scoring record than JCH but a worse one than Payne.


    Apparently has similar attitude problems to Payne, a Stevenage fan I talked to said "he's a good player, he just doesn't care about the club/fans." Perhaps a better comparison may be comparing him to O'Toole?
    I also asked a mate of mine who supports Stevenage his opinions:
    "Him and Graham Westley were never going to be a perfect match and we don't have the time or patience anymore to cater to him. He needs to be managed perfectly. He's tall but not a target man. I doubt there's a forward with as good footwork. Reminds me of JCH, needs to be used correctly."
    Me: Does he have attitude problems
    "Hm, yes and no. He got accused of being lazy, I don't think he is. He just doesn't cover every blade of grass. I get the feeling he plays football because he's good at it."
    Note he is Tall but not a target man

    Yeah,if we take the Mansfield game as a marker, at least the football can't get any worse. The players that left either weren't good enough or didn't want to be here, although worryingly there is a clear lack of goal threat/goal scorer in the team and the new players don't look to rectify that. Lets see what happens.

    It depends how you define target man but if he’s 6’3” and gets in the box his head has got to be a target. The point I was making is that we might now have three of a kind up front and not the foxy one to play off them. Note coincidentally we have got about five of the same kind in midfield and no tackler.

    Will the CEO now come out and give his thoughts on the business he’s just done or let Bowyer continue to take the flak. I can’t believe the manager got what he wanted. We signed these lads for cost not because they were just what we needed to strengthen for a promotion push. Could anybody see it otherwise.

    Well he hasn't done before so I see no reason why he would change his stance now.
    JR has always had a bunker mentality

    In twenty years time City supporters will still be talking about last night, Brexit night for GB ( Great Britain) and Exit Night maybe for Gary Bowyer. This window will be held up as the greatest example of how not to do business. People might be laughing then at our Exit Night but they’re not laughing now.

    Who is the player we are waiting international clearance for? Could it be Graham Carey from CSKA Sofia?

    Yes I thought we would have brought in a midfielder of that ilk too

    Yes that’s the problem but I believe Bowyer sets them up too deep he needs to press the midfield further forward
