    Had Bowyer been sacked a week earlier, and McCall had Vaughan, a new centre half and a midfielder who can tackle.bget the ball back and give it to Cooke or Devitt, he might have got better results.

    As it is with AOC, BRE and Akpan starting he’s a goal down and playing with 10 men before kick off, add in two raw wingers, an inconsistent McCartan, and four or so other players who aren’t League 2 standard, he’s no chance.

    Not sacking Bowyer and allowing him to lose four strikers and bring only one in, we’ll ignore Guthrie, finished the season. It’s almost as if someone doesn’t want the club to be promoted

    It was like I had said along the aim was automatic promotion but it's not happening so f@ck this, let's not bother going up this year. Get McCall ball the mugs fan group will buy season tickets no matter what and come June we wiill say budget is low for next season because of Edin!

    What a depressing season this is and I thought last year was bad.

    I can count on one hand the number of games that have had me out of my seat. Out of all cup competitions with a whimper, slowly and painfully losing touch with the playoffs, and no long term plan to make us believe this is the pain before the gain.

    We could and will have a clear out in the summer, recruit players on one year deals to get us out of this league and then we'll start again. To get anywhere near 20,000 season tickets you have to sell a dream that we can buy into. Unless the club talk to us coherently and as one voice, how can they expect to gain our trust.

    I'd rather they come out and say they're leaving once a buyer can be found.

    I think the rb slot needs attention too Henley and sick note Mellor do not inspire me with confidence when it comes to defensive duties.

    I think that poll was taken before everyone realised just how crap our new 'strikeforce' is.

    It’s hard to disagree with your analysis and view.

    Further to Mike’s point, it almost looks like an act of sabotage. To an outsider it might seem so.
