A win is a win after the last few performances, however the performance was way below standard, couldn’t tell which team was two places above!!! That’s about as generous you’ll get from me!! The performance, his tactics, the line up (DWP and TEZ) aside. What does he see with Chester, Wilmot and Brown?? All his signings!!! His saving grace is we’ve got back to back away games as we’re completely dog shit at home!!! That today was his level, a league two manager at best!!!!

We won today thank goodness. I don’t think the pressure on O’Neill has eased though. I’m sure the family are (not) constantly checking the Oatcake to gauge supporters views

I totally agree with ya.. it was terrible too watch.. it’s going downhill at a rapid pace.. I like wilmot an brown but chester.. Jesus.. has 3/4 fucks ups in him every game.. it’s only going too be a matter of time before mons gone.. prob end of season.. a win definitely papers over the cracks

Echo the sentiment about having a day off but equally must stress to not take our eye off the ball. We were awful throughout the game against a basement division side playing their first game since December 18th.
Remember the excuses about being rusty after our game with Derby as a reason for the defeat and awful performance? Subsequent games against Preston and today against Leyton Orient have completely and utterly debunked yet another myth/excuse, where the opponent having suffered similar or a more lengthly lay off has played us off the park in their first game back.
We simply MUST improve and quickly. The season will descend into a complete mess else.

To be fair, today was a scratch side, not even a reserve side, that would at least play together week after week. Bound to be disjointed.

For the life of me I can’t see it improving both on and off the field, I really can’t.

Sorry Michael, how many more times do we have to watch sides completely outplay us at home, even Derby... skint etc etc. Where is our passion, commitment, I could go on but probably like so many supporters I've just about had enough. And before I get slated, I first went in 1955 and me and her gave been season ticket holders for over 50 years. In all that time I can't remember such a disorganised and spineless team.

Hahahahhaahah where are the haters now? Are you for real? We were very fortunate to beat a League 2 side on our own ground. I don't think anybody could be objectively convinced that it was a good performance and thus MON is a managerial genius ‘Twas merely a joke. Obviously that result is not going to win anyone over!

But you’re not bothered 🤔 No I wasn’t bothered about the result, in a perverse way I wanted the shit on the pitch to smack the owners in the face to show what a shit show they’ve built. Will they I extremely doubt it, we were awful today and in truth should have been dead and buried before Ince scored. We’ll have a discussion at the end of the season about how we finished up, personally I think we’ll drop like lead balloon. It’s a rancid club believe me.

L2 is about his level. I'm not convinced with Holden or Delap either. It has gone downhill since Holden arrived.

The strange thing is the high points this season have been realllllllly high.
Swansea away was as good as I've seen us away from home for years
Even the Preston away game was massively encouraging despite the result and we looked like we had a real identity
And after the West Brom game, who didn't think we'd be top 6?
But the bulk of the season, particularly since Souttar and Powell's injury, has been as bad as anything we've seen since relegation. Just tedious rubbish apart from the basketball game at QPR.

Spot on, that's the real head wrecker for me too. If we could build it as a rollercoaster, we could make a fortune on the entry price!

We hammered Barnsley as well FM without winning and for me the loss of Souttar bringing the ball out and drawing teams out has been massive.We don’t possess another centre back who can do that.The 3 today certainly can’t and neither can Batth
