There are 3 sides miles better than everyone else (the current top 3). After that there's a scramble for 3 places between a lot of average sides, who are all going to drop plenty of points.
We've had a bad week but we're still in with a decent chance of getting one of those spots, even with the flaws we have.

There’s no reason why we can’t stop the rot and put a run together ourselves, we just need the manager to wake up and fix the thing he’s got a blind spot over. It used to happen with TP all the time, there was a screamingly obvious fix he’d stubbornly avoid for as long as he could, then he’d make it and we’d immediately look better.

Hard one to get over when he can’t spot the obvious. |

They were absolutely shite and we lost! Desperate stuff, couldn’t make the most basic of passes Sawyers is an excellent player but he’s a liability for us. What the hell was Wilmot at today! Wilmot? The centre half who was playing right wing back? Did you see his passing, doesn’t matter where he was playing, basic passes going astray. Hopelessly sloppy! |

I know you probably want him sacked after every defeat, but things will turn in our favour again. |

Sorry trousers, tonights sessions on here hace been booked by the knicker wetters. I think the more patient and sensible posters will be welcomed back in a couple of days. 👍 |

It’s worrying when he can’t even take the luck offered him in the West Brom game of not being able to play Sawyers. He needs to wake the fuck up. |

Top six my arse, our defending at times apart from Souttar is abysmal, can’t hang on to a lead, can’t increase a lead Who voted for your arse? Remember when Loaded did rear of the year? Imagine the outcry now! Sad times😟 |

I don't think so, this season is going the way of last season when MON just gave up, in fact it may well be a gonna already. We'll exit the league Cup in the week and goodness me if we fall behind against Cardiff it could turn very ugly. |

Different angles, tighter spaces, fewer options. We were asking a centre half to be our creative wide player. Of all the dross we had out there its ridiculously harsh to single him out. |

The Wilmot selection was a strange one. A square peg in the proverbial round hole. Why not Ince from the start? Wheres Doughty, declared avaliable for selection yesterday, a natural replacement. If Smith was withdrawn before KO then why wasn't Doughty drafted to the bench? Or was he but not used? |

I think Denis’ comments during the second half are very revealing. He is as loyal as they come and very close to the Board. He sounded frustrated. What did he say ? |

Yes and if it doesn't you'll acknowledge that heart breaking though it may be I know a trend when I see one ! If we end up bottom half I absolutely will. I’m confident we won’t. Most teams in this league will have a bad run. Just need the manager to wake up. |

Not if its going to be anything like that bat shit crazy evening we had over zoom last season with JC, MON and TS where they came out to meet the adoring public and you'd have been forgiven for thinking everything was hunky dory! |

Couple of wins and we’re going up, couple of defeats and we’re the worst team in the division and need to sack the manager. |

As I’ve said in the match thread that midfield together is pathetic. You CANNOT play in this division without a midfield with any bite in it. Defensively that was shocking- just such simple goals. And up front it is evident that Surridge is just wank. No messing around now- play Fletcher and Campbell. In terms of midfield- Thompson should start as at least he’ll Try and tackle / block. Poor recruiting agaa again I’m afraid and we never bought in what we needed- a proper DM.
Worryingly though, it's what the manager wanted. yep. He seems to think we can play our way of the division. No chance without a solid backbone in midfield |
