    I don’t disagree, I was just as dissapointed. I want to know what happened, because DH comes across as honest so something has happened. Pointless to speculate, we need answers.

    Excellent assessment Tarty. However, who the hell was going to be trampling a path to our door to take on Wright and Riley? Surely that was obvious to everyone connected with City.

    It doesn't though mate as many players are contracted to the club for a long time.

    This is why knowing this he should of handled the situation better.

    You've players contracted to the club then you need to increase team spirit. We are not a big enough team to go start ruling out players.

    How do you know he has lost the dressing room Fordy? In the other post you state that 'I feel he has lost the dressing room'. Which one is it? Feel or know?? or are you just spouting speculative nonsense because it makes you appear as though you care.

    How do I know?

    I go to games and watch closely.

    Fleetwood- Awful
    Plymouth- poor
    Walsall- dreadful.

    Sorry mate. In all 3 games recently the players haven't produced at all.

    Against Fleetwood it was claimed he didn't want to play long ball. We played long ball.

    He has lost the dressing room. We're bad but not this f@cking bad!

    Maybe performances tell you if the team are playing for the manager ?

    Since Barnsley I see and feel something lacking from the team and the Fleetwood performance was the players playing a certain way of showing the manager that maybe trust in him is draining away.

    So in other words it's just speculative nonsense. I haven't got a clue how saying such things is going to help the cause?
    In a relegation dog fight there's always going to be raised emotions - fans, players and management staff. I'm not so sure that stating things as facts when it's just plain conjecture is going to help anything.

    It's a massive concern mate but if he isn't you can only hope he sells the club to the right own or owners.

    He didn't sign up for div 2 football, so I don't know if he will want to stay on.

    Which the manager has failed to address.

    It was the lack of desire yesterday!

    Are you forgetting a certain Tuesday night at the end of January? I definitely saw fight and desire that night and how much the win meant to the players. That result gave me renewed confidence that we had enough to get out of this mess but since then I haven't seen anything like the same commitment and desire from the players and I honestly don't understand it. I really felt after that night that we would get at least 6 points from our next 4 games, possibly 8 but in reality we've ended up with 2.

    Because in reality we're a bottom four league 1 side.

    I'm still hoping Hopkin can get enough points to keep us in league one, as yourself I haven't given up yet, but I'm not confident he can get enough out of this squad to do that.
    If he stays the likes of. Wright, McCartan, Reeves etc days are numbered, and the likes of O'Brien, Payne, Ball etc will be returning to their own clubs, will Stefan have the appetite for rebuilding the squad, worrying times mate.
