    Soon as the final whistle went, I was straight out of the ground and down the road. They weren't getting the benefit of my anger and disgust. As we were walking away I heard the chant of getting sacked in the morning, believe me it wasn't just a handful of fans, it was the best part of about 500 fans that were left

    I watched the clip of Stubbs gesturing at our fans to knock it off....cheeky fecker! Who the F is he to not expect fans to vent their frustration after watching yet another limp display, so soon after the last one. Those same fans who battled through the vile traffic jams on the M62 & M60 to be there to watch their team, paid their hard earned money, gave up their valuable evening, having to endure more misery with J26 of the M62 shut on the way home...go bollocks Stubbs and take the rest of them with you

    With nine goals in the bank, he has earned a short poor spell.

    I'm hoping for a win so that @banbrotam@banbrotam shows up to let us all know he's still alive.

    Lovely. That's a bit of a kick in the teeth for those of us busting a gut to get to Birkenhead :eyes:

    The "anything will be better than this" fallacy?

    We've only shattered this myth time and time again, but once more round the sun I guess...

    I'm not advocating keeping Hughes if things aren't going to improve quickly (starting on Tuesday) - but I'm going to consider the next manager the "Rouven Sattelmaier" of football coaches until someone actually good comes in and actually gives us more enjoyable matches.

    It's one thing to say Hughes has had enough time and demand change; but it's another to pretend the change will lead to improvement.

    I get the impression you’d rather extend his contract than terminate it, Jon.

    what positives do we have this season? Even our best players and supposed captain have been poor.

    if we lose vs Tranmere and on Saturday then he’ll be gone. Still time for a new coach to kick on for the top seven, which should be the bare minimum for a club like ours, with no financial worries.

    I'm not saying I'd rather we kept him (if form doesn't improve pretty much immediately), but I am saying I won't be fooled into thinking anything will improve with his sacking.

    If Hughes/Hodges/Gent all walk, we're back to square one with nobody at the club of any consequence whatsoever. Nobody with an ounce of success in the game.

    Then we're back to picking someone like Adams, who should never have been brought in.

    Prediction league should change to what minute will we have a shot at goal rather than the inevitable end result .....

    Even if by some miracle we manage to win this game we need to put a run together of 4/5 games where we are not only winning but winning well.

    This will be the first match I've missed at Tranmere in a long time and in all honesty I'm really not that bothered.

    Even if we win it will be tarnished for me because it feels like we're in limbo at the moment and will just feel like we're delaying the inevitable.

    This feels like the Colin Todd and Peter Taylor days where I stopped going until they'd gone because I simply just didn't enjoy it anymore. I'm fact, if it wasn't for my kids (who are also both going tonight) that would probably have already happened this season.

    Felt that for a while too.
    Its the 2/3 Pints before the game in the Pub catching up with folk, and maybe a couple of cheeky one's after is all the solace I get from BCAFC these days. The 3pm - 5pm is pretty nauseating really. Think I'll be hibernating from Valley Parade once the weather turn's (And Im in the Bantams Bar!) . Im really that fickle these days. Mid 50's and BCAFC isn't the be all it appeared to be once. I only renew my season ticket these days out of blind faith and that Its get's me out of the wife's way for a few hours. Sad really

    I'm not the only one who was demanding a keeper be signed in the summer.

    Lewis needs taking out for his own sake nevermind the team, yet no-one available to take over other than our poundland coach who hasn't played for a couple of years.

    He's already been sacked. Problem is the email didn't go to his inbox...

    Losing to 2nd bottom of the league, a team that has lost 8 games so far, and you say this will do for you. The mind boggles

    Andy Cook single handedly papered over Mark Hughes dogsh*t football last season and he's probably going to keep him in the job on his own for a little while yet.

    Just end it now.

    Death by a thousand cuts over the next few games will do nobody any favours. This isn't being turned around to any great degree.

    The summer recruitment has been absolutely horrendous. This was all plainly evident in the close season. Well done, City.

    Eight defeats in 10, Tranmere, was it?

    nice 3 pts off City.

    that’s surely it for Leslie.

    As much as I never want my team to lose I'll take that tonight as it should pretty much see the end of Hughes and his absolute shite football. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Mark, your P45 is in the post
