    The club have quite simply ripped our pants down this season. 9000 season tickets sold and zero investment in the team yet no match day outgoings.
    They’ve bummed us all dry.

    No! It's time for everyone including you to bloody wake up and stop acting like a teenage! Face up to the problems and tackle them.

    I cannot believe how amateurish our defence looks. They're playing like a bunch of strangers. If we don't sharpen up second half this could be a cricket score.

    Sure it's not easy but its almost like you didn't try. I'm not a scout, I was only judging him from a handful of games but even I could see Samuels was a poor choice. It's not even as if he was the best choice out there of u23 PL strikers, he wasn't even the best option at Wolves. Admittedly maybe City are a club that no PL Youth Manager or Loan Manager will let their players join (Although Leeds let Hosannah join, he may not be a nailed-on future Leeds star but he isn't someone Leeds have basically written off fully either).

    Even if you have no scouts you could have done better by firing up Football Manager and creating a striker shortlist with that then going 'Oh he scored against us in the EFL Trophy) lets sign him'

    Samuels looks our best player at the moment.

    same place he was for the first.. on his heels and not realising where the danger is. similar to the third too. noticing a common trend yet that a lot of teams are attacking down our left side. he lacks concentration - for everything he does well going forward, he is as poor tactically when defending. a lot of the time it's his pace that gets him out of trouble. a good example of a winger turned full-back who hasn't been taught the art of defending.. doesn't help when McCall plays him as a wing-back. the poor lad has never been a wing-back. currently being hung out to dry by his manager.

    Shocking performance, 3 at the back has played in to there hands with no midfield , We just cannot cope with the runners in their midfield,

    So you think that City were seriously tracking a player who was struggling in the u23's, struggled at Kidderminster in the NATIONAL LEAGUE NORTH and then still left it until the day after he scored against them?

    Salford look a league above us to be fair but once gain we have not helped ourselves, some dire defending, O'Donnell has to take responsibility for the 1st and 3rd and the second was a free header back across goal from where Wood should have been and an easy touch in past O'Donnell.

    I said it weeks ago. This squad is worse than the Jacko squad.

    As a player, 100%
    As a guy.....definitely

    As a manager he's getting pretty bloody close to my least favourite manager ever at this point.

    We only matched them because they couldn't be arsed, even then they still had three or four good opportunities.
