Bit harsh on my tractor friends. They nearly went out of business a couple of years ago. They stayed the Prem money would allow them to remain solvent
Delilah is worth £20+ m. Ours, well

It's high risk calling well paid players out but by God it worked. 10! It also helped that he went back to the right formation - needs to stick with that even away from home from now on 10

I feel sick as there ever been a year when all the bottom teams go on a run like this except us of course. There is always one that drops like a stone and keeps dropping - our turn, again

How Clucas is getting in most sides posted here is strange
The last 2 game he may as well sat on the bench - awful player and yet another we bought with a reputation some idiot thought they could turn around

Definitely gives us a fighting chance now. This one sim has it reducing our relegation chances from 32% to 18% And has Wigan at 83% as opposed to 0%! He is right - they are the form team and could easily see a good haul of points so long as their players are not mentally affected by the news from that run in

Great memories but no legacy Mr Coates. Bloody is for me. All those years in the prem, which I never thought I would ever see even one season, fa cup final, europe, signing names like shakiri, crouch etc for the fees that we paid. Don't think Peter ever wanted get rid of TP, but crowd pressure pushed him. I'll always be grateful for the the vast majority of the last decade or so. They are memories fella and indeed great ones The legacy bit is what he leaves and they ain’t good right now

3 relegations to the third tier. They mean well, but they are absolutely shit at running a football club. They are indeed

My goodness how far we have fallen and more worrying how far we may yet to go
For the second game running it was apparent how little our players talk up each other compared to other teams

I get the anger at the players but again did anyone expect this side the manager picked to function? The match was lost when we saw the team sheet. Again. It was an unbalanced mess that just didn’t need to happen. Agree but the players did not even try

Permission to call him what I called him on Saturday? Totally. Why the manager can not see this is beyond me

If the rumours of his turning up to training drunk are true then not picking him is the correct decision If that’s true he wants fucking off to be fair most of them turn up drunk, or appear to be on match day so at least he is ahead of the curve

I see we are back to putting names in a hat and putting a blindfold on management
What the hell has happened to the manger's clear thinking pre break? He has gone full on Jones/Rowett mindset
Campbell and Sorenson dropped is madness as is sticking with Thompson
This is just beyond silly

Kept going and made the right changes
-1 for starting Ince -1 for starting formation
However given we went away with the all the new rules and self isolating that was a good point
We looked much fitter than Reading near the end

Given the reality of where we are how can any of them not take a massive pay cut? In fact no money at all
Of course that cuts off below a certain level but fuck me

And still in the bottom 3 Yes, because of the awful start not down to O'neill. I think he will be good for us long term But he has gone all Lambert at the mo and there is no need

Too true - lets put it this way, 11 games and coming into the new year we were above the relegation zone on goal difference. Since then we have picked up 18 points from those 11 games (W5 D3 L3) yet we now find ourselves back in there despite being on form that, across a season, would put us in or around the play offs. We just need to keep on going - its going to be one of those seasons where we are going to need 53-4 points to stay up in my honest opinion. Im still confident we can do it, but we need to keep our heads and keep picking up points at home in particular We are sixth in the form leave since christmas And still in the bottom 3

Issue here is that, despite the glossy ‘haven’t lost in last 3’ we have only won one in 5 Spot on

Best thing to do is lump on at 6/1 to be relgated it may soften the blow, can't honestly see any other outcome If that's the case, to use a well worn phrase, you should fuck off up the Vale. Of course you're entitled to your opinions. Similarly I'm entitled to say you should fuck off up the Vale. Bit harsh fella We really look like we are in a precarious situation by our own making

Terrible times not losing any of the last three.... I thinkI I’ll slit my wrists ! Boro win on Monday and were bottom 3 so I’ll join you Some just don’t get the predicament we are in do they and the fact the manager today ballsed it up

Mainly because we still are a poor side who does not have the dna to keep going for a win. manager included For the manager to get 31 points from 21 games with this rabble is absolutely tremendous. Yes we are a poor side, but we’re a damn site less poor than when he joined..... Totally agree but there is still this underlying issue that prevails the club from top to toe

Thats exactly what O’Neill said after about those headers which I’ve just put on another thread O'Neill had a sly dig at Collins after a virtual MOTM performance the other night. Tonight he has described Chester's tackle as 'unfortunate'. Sorry but that is double standards and that's something I cannot abide. He even admitted that Chester stuck in a blind toe as a player came in from behind. What type of experienced player does that and gets away with it? very unclassy

There’s been a lot of people banging on about needing experience. I get you need some, of course you do but if anything this squad has way too much. One of the most experienced players cost us a win today after replacing one of the most inexperienced players in the squad who was MOM in the previous game. This clamour for experience is just odd. It is totally odd and very Stoke Sure we need 6 or 7 'experienced' players but we also need a massive injection of youngsters who know no fear unlike this current mob It may well make or break them but I am only really concerned about our status The way we treat most youngsters up until now they usually fade in to obscurity anyways
