    It doesn't matter who is in charge the whole team is a bag of shit. Only young O'brien deserves any credit and he aint even our player. Stick the lot of them on transfer list not bothered about any of them being here for league 2 next year

    We just dont have the players to get out of this ongoing mess that’s been happening for months and months, regardless of who is in charge.

    A disjointed bunch who don’t know their collective arses from their elbows.

    Bowyer has a decent track record but is not a miracle worker.

    We got what we deserved today as we didn’t ask Oxford enough questions, hugely disappointing given what we needed to do.

    Just got find the big backer that Bournemouth, Brighton and Watford have. Without money you can forget the championship let alone the premiership.

    They don't seem interested in us though @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart and when I hoped we had someone with dosh and not rely on cup runs they turned out to be a flop and have in fact ruined us. I so remember the weekend when the news broke that the Germans had bought us out, supporters on old Claret and Banter message board were so full of hope that at last we had our own financial backers but now we come to tonight and I've never felt so low supporting City

    Its a good point, the one thing that got us out of the dire khazi league after all those seasons was Nahki Wells. Without him we would never have got out of the division. I'd feel a tad better for next season if we weren't stuck with a lot of this seasons shite for next season. I don't think there is any of the contracted players that i want to see here next season.

    The definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. No manager has been able to turn this team around irrespective of who they put in or the formation. If you want an interesting stat we've won just 14 of our last 59 league games.

    Ok I personally think he got his team wrong today but you I fail to see how Bowyer can be held responsible for this shower the Edin sewed the seeds of our current position a long time ago by playing championship manager with our club. Equally though some of the players are to blame too far from enough heart shown by many of them!

    Complete bollocks. The whole squad is proving to be a quality relegation outfit. Zidane couldn't get this lot playing to win.

    He got his line up wrong. It’s not his fault we need to win 75% of our remaining games to survive. He knew the task when he came in but to say he’s not up to it based on 3 games, where 2 were against top 6 sides is ludicrous.

    Why can’t we learn we need to build something and it takes time?

    That describes me nicely... R&R made the right noises, had what seemed to be a reasonable plan, and I certainly was cautiously optimistic that we had indeed found the right kind of moneyed owners. That the first season went so well papered over a few concerns I had, and so I remained hopeful into the summer. We had a club to be proud of, with a good reputation at home and abroad. Since then, though... It really is disappointing / disheartening / anger-inducing to see how thoroughly we have been destroyed. We are just sliding our way into, as one of our posters put it, one of the most needless, most self-inflicted relegations ever.

    We have to start all over again; all the good work under Parkinson and co. wasted. I just hope Mr. Owen was too pessimistic in thinking we might need 4-5 years to get back to where we were.

    Were you saying this when we stormed to a 3-1 victory over promotion chasing Peterborough only a week ago?

    When you find something that works well, decide not to use it for no good reason and look like a pub team as a result the manager has to be held accountable to some degree, surely?

    That's all good and well but it doesn't detract from his unbelievably poor decision making. Things such as dropping Caddis, dropping O'Brien, playing Jermaine Anderson despite being unbelievably poor, preffering Clarke and Patrick to Payne when we are in need of a goal, changing a winning formula etc etc.

    absolutely baffling. Everyone knows that Rahic and the players are ultimately responsible for our league position but the clueless fùckwits in charge of them haven't done themselves justice either.

    Takes some beating doesn't it, questioning a managers long term ability after 3 games. FFS.

    You have clearly not done your homework on Bowyer's time at Blackpool to suggest he walked because they were struggling

    We need to do everything we can to keep Bowyer. Last thing we need is another managerial change. Those calling for his head because of yesterday are pathetic. I think hes just the type we need to rebuild.

    Careful. You can be nothing but optimistic when posting on this board @BradfordBanter@BradfordBanter will lose his head.

    Get a grip. You are writing just complete and utter nonsense.
