    What makes you think that. he was getting well stuck in at training giving his all, so it's not about his fitness whether its today or at home to Cheltenham on Tuesday night.

    So true. I feel Bowyer's giving the opposition a pep talk everytime he releases a pre-match statement

    He takes an L for talking up Mansfield. They’re pants. We’ve got the top scorer. Just go at them.

    number of loss isn’t that important, it is the number of wins

    Not really, voted no
    We were some bookies favourites for league 2 champions at one point, they obviously rated our squad and it’s potential.

    yes it is points which is why the wins is the important part 1 loss in 11 could be 10 points, 4 loss in 11 could be 21 points

    Well we were absolutely shocking last season to comeback from that to a promotion season would be an achievement. The trouble is the expectation level at this club is off the scale people forget what we are and where we have been for most of our existence.
    Last time we were down here it took seven years to get out everyone’s favourite manager had three attempts. I think there is an over estimation of our current Squad

    I tell you what would be interesting the cry of the Banshee on here if Doyle scored a hat trick and was sold on Monday

    Expectation level off the scale? What on earth are you in about now? I expect to get out of this division, a 2.7 million budget should suffice any manager at this level to get promotion. Its the bottom of the ladder of English professional football FFS, if you don't expect to get out of it what's the point in turning up?

    As Man Utd are finding out when you hire a rubbish manager then attention turns to owners and people running the club.

    Most fans now understand that Rhodes and Rupp should be questioned about how they're operating the club and can they take it forward.

    If this happened and Doyle was sold to a rival then I can only hope Bradford City have a big named(for div 1/2 standard) lined up but Rhodes and Rupp will come under more pressure!

    No way. No settled team, no implemented style, not enough goals, not using the assets we have to the best of their ability, no momentum for the second half of the season. Theres no way were going up this season

    The pole is fair enough but would the current opinion be the same if we won 3/4
    games on the trot?

    We are just getting back some important players who could make a difference
    although I have to say I understand the negativity.

    Deep down I still feel there is something wrong with the club.Post Rahic, I thought
    we would improve with time but is the problem the managers we've installed, along
    with poor player recruitment or is there a lingering feeling of unrest throughout the
    club?

    Yes going 3rd if the two teams above us lose, but then they have TWO games in hand over us.

    With the squad we have we have the right to have high expectations.

    It's obvious to me that we'll go up on the last day of the season with a 1 nil win and a goal in the 67th minute or something.

    Bowyer will feel vindicated and we'll all cry - happy tears as we're going up and sad tears because we know we're stuck with more dull footy for another season.

    At the moment I'd take that. But that's only because the alternative would be a double set of sad tears from failing to get out of this rotten division with our dull safety first football and then having to face another season of dull safety first football in this same rotten division!
