    I agree. My head has said we are down for weeks but my heart has continued to have that little glimmer of hope that a miracle could still happen and it has been agonising. Thank goodness it's over.

    Its an outrage we have Gary Bowyer facing the press on what may be the worst run in our history whilst the real culprit had gone into hiding then varnished without facing the music.

    This squad has been the worst I've ever seen wear the shirt for this club. Absolutely fecking appalling. Every one of them should have their contracts terminated with the exception of caddis. Let the youth squad play the last 3 games we might have players playing for the shirt then

    Not been to a match since Walsall away that convinced me that today was inevitable
    Going to the Wimbledon match for two reasons only
    1 for the memorial
    2 to give big Jim a clap
    After that I shall be making my way home
    I do hope everyone else does the same too late for us but these players really ought to have their registration confiscated

    No surprise but still a gut punch. 6 seasons in league one, 5 of them pretty damn decent. Always thought we'd leave this league at the other end.

    Rock bottom is shameful for all we had available to us and how it was so dreadfully mis-used.

    I suspect there'd be little point in asking Rupp about why we did what we did in the transfer window. Without wishing to cast doubt on his understanding of lower league English football, I doubt that he would know the difference between a wide man and the kit man! He'd leave it to others.

    I really doubt very much that Hopkin would simply have signed more of the same having been quite public with the kind of players he said he needed. And then he walked 2 weeks later. I'd be asking any questions I had of Rhodes.

    Rhodes? well I suppose anything is possible. Let’s be honest the way Payne was playing many of us wanted him to stay, myself included. However, I did want the other players, and if given a choice I would have had to let Payne go, and sign players we needed.

    Agree, no point now in playing the players who have relegated us. Let’s have a look at some of the young players we haven’t seen. In fact t wasn’t going on Monday just don’t want to watch them lose again, but if GB indicates he is playing some of the young ones I might reconsider.

    100% one of the reasons questions marks have to be had other Rupp and Rhodes is due to the January transfer shambles.

    The loan situation did not help (yes I know it's the same for everyone) but once we and Hopkin realised this s**t show weren't up for it his hands were tied, like it or not "you f****d our club up Rahic, you alone with no help from others because they knew what questioning you would mean no job.

    Worst City team ever. And still some will clap them.

    They should be, to a man, thrown on the dole never to pull on another team's shirt.

    You might change your mind on that if the nucleus of this squad is still with us next season.

    At last its official were down.
    Do I rate Bowyer?
    Strangely enough yes I do.
    Do I think this close season will be entertaining on here.
    Yes of course it will.
    Would I have it any other way?
    No the writing was on the wall when Collins was made manager and the squad assembled was so disjointed and lopsided even a complete Bantam virgin could see the non shape to our team after only a few games.
    Macclesfield Town away in the cup as never been forgotten by me.
    Amateurs everyone of them.
    The trend continued through out the season no leadership,no captain,no wingers no strikers of note and a goalkeeper with no challenger on the books.
    It's been a disgrace since the opening game of the season.
    I will be at Scunny but my aim is to support a man who has the task of rebuilding in the summer.
    He gets 100% backing from me the rest can jump of a cliff and drown.
