Let's hope you are right---"about the season of consolidation" I mean! That is clearly the best we can hope for.

Well if he's at the same level as Raya, why sell Raya? He was our player, Walton isn't! And Raya has a lot of improvement in him at his age.

Haven't been called that for----oh, must be several weeks!!

Actually you're too late---that post of mine got deleted! But it is TM you're defending because its him that's under pressure.

To put your head up TM's arse and attack "certain elements of our fan base"---the one's who know what they're talking about in my view.

He's done his job in one out of 7 games and this 7th is the one Paul and many others will judge him on! Its all okay!!! Bonkers.

1 bloody game! Didn't take you long eh?

I hope the shackles can come off the whole team, I hope Rothwell features more, I want to see Chapman given a chance. I'm sick of the negativity.

Don't fret K-Hod, we'll do this again in a couple of years! All those games which are like the first half x 2 make this game so special.

So did I. I was amazed that they didn't think the video confirmed It. Wouldn't have made any difference though. The comparison between the first 2 minutes of the semi-final against NZ and this game could not have been more stark. We were on the back-foot from the very beginning. Never really got going did we?

CINO-----Club In Name Only.

Looking like we played our final last week?

Well we've usually had leaders on the park before, the list would be almost endless. Can I suggest the problem lies with the manager who, seemingly, can't spot them. Tbh I'd always assumed he didn't want them because they might stand up to him, but what do I know?

Wide strikers obviously!

I think the problem is that posters who share the same frustration as you do, are accused of "over-reaction". Given the severity of the issues facing the club and the love we have for it, I think reactions have been very tempered. Hard to see how anyone could over-react to this situation on a forum.

Yep---give it to Johnson on a trial basis to the end of the season would be my guess at what Venkys will do. Quick and cheap and might come off.

What I remember from then is that we didn't have a pot to piss in, the ground was gradually being closed down for safety reasons, we had no Brockhall and crowds were practically half of what they are now. YET----we were signing good players for nothing or next to nothing, playing exciting football (well more so than now) and regularly challenging for promotion.

Surely even Venkys have to get it right once out of 8?

Don't worry!

Well he didn't get my hopes up, I stopped believing him a long time ago. My hopes were dashed in August---close of Transfer Window. Plenty on here told me different though.

The trouble is he's not capable of either.

Fitness levels? Transfer record? Leads thrown away? Can't organise a defence? Bullshit interviews? I'd say he's very similar to Coyle. Nobody is comparing him to Kean, that odious individual is in a class of his own. ToMo did good work to restore this club's standing early on, he should go now before he becomes a laughing stock (if he isn't already).

And how many penalties have we conceded?

You give me hope!!

Nobody can be compared to Kean but Mowbray has a lot more in common with Coyle than I'm comfortable with. Bullshit is well up there for a start.
