    So its nonsense that Miller has just fetched £250k from a championship side, Nonsense that Butterfield was bought for millions and would fetch at least as much if not more than Miller?, It is nonsense that Payne who is valued at half a million by his club, Nonsense that O'Brien is valued by his club in the hundreds of thousands and yet both are dropped for players that were given away and not wanted by other clubs in the transfer window, The truth is that it is not the amount of managers we have had because we consistently chose poor ones and until that changes we will decline,
    If any one is talking rubbish and utter nonsense it is you who obviously do not understand the game

    Even accepting that point of view mate, surely Bowyer saw how poor Anderson was and even Butterfield was hardly contributing, I honestly expected a change at half time.

    Exactly
    There are far more options today for things to do on a Saturday afternoon
    When i first started watching it was a real treat something to look forward to every other Saturday Afternoon even tho we were always bottom half of Div 4 we had local players who devoted the biggest part of their career to us and ensured the fan base of the future
    How many will remember in 5 years time any players that played today apart from the notoriety of getting us relegated

    Cos he has only just got the job and has a good tracks record and deserves a fair crack. Stop being a big baby cos we lost yesterday and he didnt pick a team YOU wanted and get the result you thought we had a right to get.

    Phil Parkinsons win ratio was 36% during his spell as our manager. Next question.

    Leeds was a strange and very complex situation. They entered Administration only after it was clear mathematically that they would be relegated. The 10 points deduction they suffered for this were applied in that season but had no real impact since they were already down. The EFL could do nothing about it at the time since they were the EFL's own rules at the time.

    But there is a further twist to the story. After the shenanigans of Bates, Ridsdale etc, on the sale/purchase of the club, the EFL got their own back and applied a further 15 point deduction as a condition of Bates buying the club to be effective from the following season. Typically Bates threatened to challenge this in the High Court of all places but the EFL called his bluff and the additional 15 point deduction stood for the following season. I suspect that is what you are referring to.

    The EFL rightly changed its rules shortly after so that another club couldn't repeat what Leeds had done.

    The squad is the weakest in the division no pace width or strength that’s what makes a good team we have none

    What I do find difficult to understand is Bowyer spoke in his post match interview as if he was happy with a point, now in hindsight it would not have been a bad result, but for the life in me hearing the radio commentary, fellow posters watching the game and saying how poor we were first half I would have though he'd missed a bullet and changed things at half time.
    Yet it took him until the 56 minute to make a change Miller for Ball when most who were watching the game were saying Anderson was having a shocker and Butterfield had little influence on the game.
    I'm far from happy with the way things seem to be continuing at our club but now we have to concentrate on the home game with Blackpool and believe we can get 3 points.

    If you watched the two prior games the team was better balanced in those two than any in the rest of the season. Prior to those games we were shipping goals for fun I agree I couldn’t understand Clarke being picked before ob but we don’t see them in training maybe he was in need of a rest.

    The point is you should maybe post on knitting forums instead of football ones, You may make more sense

    To be fair these players you allude to have NOT stepped up to the plate and delivered for 90% of this season. Why you thinks that's the managers problem is confusing.

    Forgive me, but I for one am holding back a bit longer before I crucify a bloke who has only just got his feet wet.
    We would ALL hope we would be afforded more than just a few shifts to prove ourselves, in a new job ........ Jeeze, otherwise unemployment would rocket ten fold, and more.
    WE now learn, Payne has been ill for a week, hence being on the bench. I can't and won't try to understand the Substitutions ........... They are beyond my comprehension. However, rather than try to explain them himself - The first thing GB does is question the Officials over some footballing law at the death of the game. That 'indecision' did not cost City the game, yesterday. What happened, or didn't in the normal 90 minutes, did.

    Bowyer now has a few games to drill some self respect back into the players, and at least try and show they really are fighting for their shirts, and careers.

    Why, What is the love in for this Bowyer? He’s proved in one match he’s totally clueless. If Bowyer leaves it really is not the end of the world. Get a fecking grip.
