    Thanks, but no thanks Kev, you gave us hope for a whole week, but your negative team selection and tactics has just blown all that away and makes you no better than the last umpteen managers
    , where do we go from here I do not know...

    Not quite with you on that one, we thought we had him until Gillingham came in late and made him an offer to return nearer home ?.

    It’s down to managers letting us down. Look at Adams he has a great CV at this level and the way our finances were he was the best appointment we could have made.
    Then we have Hughes even if his experience was managing some of the best teams in Europe you would have thought the contacts in the game could have seen us getting some great players in on loan and both of these could not possibly have been ignored by any pie in th sky DOF

    Tbh I couldn't care a lot that we lost today. My appetite for city is so low.

    I've booked a few trips and activities over the next few months meaning I'll miss at least 5 home games. I gave up on away days after the Tranmere debacle

    Little bit unfair, the guys been thrown in with players not good enough, he can only try and motivate because like he said it’s temporary, he will need to go back and play with these players so how can he change too much. Like the old saying,you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig. Good luck to the new manager may be Harry Potter is available.

    Nearly 50 years watching Bradford city. and they have spoiled more Saturday's at a ratio of about 5 to 1 , than they have brought enjoyment.
    Why do we always struggle, what is the answer, Whiskey time again, at least it numbs the brain until next Saturday.

    McDonald might well find himself as an ex caretaker manager who can't find a place in the match day squad.

    Maybe Adams was right. We keep changes managers but panic at the first sign of trouble. We need someone above who can say, stick with it we have a plan and accept a few bumps in the road, but that means having someone who knows what they’re doing.

    The "highlights" are up on YouTube ,and it looks even worse.Lewis beaten twice at his near post,he needs taking out of the firing line.There must be some experienced out of contract keepers available.

    It's pushing the envelope to say Hughes managed some of the best teams in Europe, especially as he pre dated the money at Man City. In truth he's never even managed done ofvthd best teams in England.

    At the risk of getting shot down, and I don’t have any affiliation to the guy, but I’m not totally clear why the vitriol towards Ryan Sparks?
    The club I believe is in the black and on a Strong financial footing. He’s brought in (on paper) quality managers. Looking at this Gent fella, his CV looked good? As a CEO he is there to run the club, not down the wing or back to support his defenders! Those of you unlucky enough to work in a PLC you wouldn’t expect to see the CEO on the shop floor. Mark Hughes the biggest mistake for me.

    You do have to wonder why Uncle Derek couldn't get a tune our lot yet after relegation and losing many players he looks to have put a side together capable of returning to League one next season, what is it at our club.

    See this football club is clueless. The men that are around it need to go! We need real football people in at senior levels now.

    I feel for the fans who travelled to MK Dons midweek (750), then to Sutton today (648) only for the players to give them two shit shows with very little desire, commitment, ideas or effort - this is an insult to walking football.
    Maybe it's time to show the players and club that that's enough, when you lot start to show up, we will.
