Yep? There it is in a nutshell. Optimistic, but with realism smacking you in the face with great big sledgehammer! You want me to be optimistic for Saturday on the back of 9 defeats in 13, only 4 goals scored in 8 matches and just 4 wins in 21 games? That isn't optimism, that is cloud 9, away...

But how many British managers have succeeded here? We need to consider all options.

Sounds fine by me. I am optimistic though. Example of this was first game of the season. A lot of City fans were predicting defeat against the much fancied Wigan, but I said a win. Was very optimistic that day. Always fancy City's chances against teams until the facts and situation is pretty...

I am glass half full. What do you expect me to say? Being optimistic doesn't mean having to put blinkers on, close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears! You need something to be optimistic about. You can be optimistic, but realistic. Got nothing to do with 'half full.' Being glass...

We haven't appointed losers as managers. We have appointed managers that have become losers. Mowbray's failure this season has had very little to do with the owners though. The owners didn't choose the tactics or make TM play Ricketts and Cole every week.

Yes. Only went by your initial list. Woukd definitely keep Martin.

If we were to replace TM why not go for a foreign manager? (Not counting the Welsh or the Scots! ;) Been lists bandied about with possible replacements, but very few of them are inspiring at all. Been a few clubs that have had success in going down the foreign route. I know it a gamble, but...

Just Lorentzson out of that lot. Basing that though on the fact that I believe JOB has already gone, unless we change the manager.

I would have wanted him. Not anymore though. Far too many flaws in his game. Think Jones might well look a better prospect. I wouldn't be against it, but woukd be a bit meh about it.

We have scored 59 goals, but 19 of those came in just 4 games (Millwall, Gillingham, Crewe, Bury). That leaves 40 goals scored in the remaining 35 games. Very poor return.

Tis true. The goals have dried up Just 4 scored now in the last 8 games.

Lorentzson made three really good passes inside the Colchester penalty box. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Yep, spot on. They will be desperately wanting good season ticket sales, but we all know that on the back of this embarrassingly disastrous slump, there is only one way the sales will go. Incredible pressure now on the City to have a flying start next season too. Don't do that and attendances...

Yep. So when we were top and top 3 and top 6 and we were saying what a good team we were and how we really fancied our chances of going up, in reality, in our hearts we knew we had a very poor team and that 16th place would be fine? I don't believe we had a brilliant team, but by the same...

I couldn't even bring myself to watch the highlights. :( Didn't follow the games at all. Darkest time of City's history and one I really wish to forget.

Where's there? League 2? Midtable mediocrity?

Some very tough fixtures to come, pax. Anything from the next 4 games would be a bonus.

It simply cannot hurt loan players as much with struggling sides, and those that may well end up relegated especially. For a contracted player they want to play at the highest level and must wonder if their future is secure if they go down. For players like Murphy, they just go back to their...

I like Holloway. Bit of a mixed bag with him though. Some success and some failures.

Yay!! I was so depressed. Now I have found out Ricketts is out of contract, I feel I have won the lottery!!!
