Another disappointmenting first half display. Our 'long ball to Graham' one dimensional tactic has run its day. (Paul Downing loan another masterful stroke from the manager)

the very same player that's just been given a new 2 1/2 year contract.

It's fair to say that the quality of footbal from us is dire. Game in Game out. You can ignore the reason behind this (a manager who has lost his way) all you want but it's still there.

I know that i'm banging an old point here (and i'm well aware of the opinions concerning this issue) But! The closure of the DE for home fans has been detrimental (imo) to the atmosphere in the ground. I had to move to the BBE and have okay seats in N01 but the atmosphere is poor. Very little vocal support and I haven't enjoyed going to the games so much (due to the move) so this will probably be my last year with a season ticket.

If you were in charge of the transfer funds and you're wondering how many goals that £7 million striker has scored. Or you're wondering about the length of contracts given to aging players. Or the dour unimaginative tactics that are employed by the manager. Or the non existent atmosphere in the ground now that a third of the ground is closed and the fan base stagnates. (just a rambling post)

Inside the concourse ?

an absolute shambles Mowbray is to blame for his shit selection. Amari Bell has the determination of Williams (ie none) Too many players missing - Conway & Travis might as well not be playing. Brereton on the right ? Slow and turgid footbal. Mowbray paid a lot for Bell, paid a fortune for Brereton. Mediocre.

0 4 to the ROVERS

I honestly believe that a lot of great supporters became so used to absolute shit circa 2010-17 that we have lost some of our belief and it's 'easy' to slip back to negativity.

young keepers are prone to errors but f&#@ so frustrating

how many games will this clown cost us ?

65

abject.

You'll have to tell me how i'm over-reacting? waggot and his company make me sick. Price rises across the board, closure of the DE without any dialogue with the fans (and even when he was 'forced' to due to PR he didn't stick by his words) Last season, we got away with it many times because the opposition was poor. If you think the manager isn't under the spotlight because of his negativity and always worrying about the other team (instead of concentrating on our own strengths) The purchase of Brereton (and his failure to play him) is a massive gamble. I'm okay with my opinions.

As has been said, last season I sat through so many awful awful games where we won only because the other teams weren't very good (polite). They closed the DE and although i still go, i don't enjoy the experience (being back in the BBE isn't for me) It's almost as if the decay and rot that has been covered over by good PR has shown its self once more. waggot and co disgust me with their arrogance. bad times

steady on, lads. This isn't just a test for the team/manager... it's a test for us. Losing it and calling for the managers head is a huge reaction. Let’s stick together.

I come up from N. Wales (200 mile round trip), the 'red button' doesn't influence me but for my 2 lads - who now have the 'kids/work/wives' thing to deal with, it does have an effect. For them, it's seen as a 'positive' and they're now able to watch games that before they weren't able to. There's been no talk (yet) of them stopping their season tickets but there's been quite a few home games where we haven't made it to the game.

waggot's 'away fans' policy going well.

Class summary. Smallwood by far a better player than Evans. Palmer will never become a playrr you can rely on (not defensive) Armstrong poor. Dack invisible. Rovers ?

all very discouraging

he is a 'proper fan' as much as anyone. Read 'gumboots' assessment of her feeling of alienation after the BBE Upper was closed and you'll (hopefully) get some understanding.

A few games into the season and my opinion about the closure of the DE to attract more away support has not changed. Just why do we as a club not put away fans in the upper tier? (many clubs do this to away fans to negate their support) Has the atmosphere changed for the better since the closure? (imo NO) I've gone back to BBE and all i see are people who would've been in the DE and the usual persecution of home fans by inept security.

zzzzzzzzz talk about making a molehill into a mountain. Bore off. We've got a massive game on Saturday. Everything else is just blah blah blah. Get over yourselves and your fake indignation

I wonder how you would be feeling if you were Bradley Dack, right about now.
