    As we are we won't be winning many more

    I agree. I was always quite critical of Kent, but we have missed that ability to dribble and take players on. The other one who can obviously do that is Murphy, but he is completely out of form. As you say, that was TM's plan but now it is seemingly shelved. Big concern.

    I'm hoping next week we actually have a referee. Would be very nice.

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    And can I just add, I have been very much one of those who has been saying 'we're still top 6' after every negative result. There comes a time though when you simply have to look at the form table and see the trend, which is very much downwards. On what do we base the notion that things will...

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    The best but on a horrendous run then! And it is horrendous. Would you say we have the best keeper? The best defence? The answer to both those is a resounding no unfortunately. We have weapons at the other end of the field, but our defence is all over the place and though I like RCC, you would...

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    In poor form? Port Vale have only lost one home game all season. Inferior squads? Like Oldham and Scunthorpe and Southend perhaps? Next week will be very, very tough, let's make no bones about it and missing Vincelot is going to be a huge blow. I would say a draw is a great result, though...

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    It was only a matter of weeks ago that we were 11 points clear of 7th place. It is now down to 6 and some teams below us now have 2 games in hand. Something drastically needs to change. Oh and I missed Bigi out of that list too. That lad is NO defensive midfielder and we should never play him...

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    It is the loss of form of certain players and the loss of a commanding centre back for sure. It seems like when Murphy plays well, we play well. Ricketts' loss of form has been key too. The defence is now looking very, very shaky indeed. Good job you weren't there yesterday, Phil. It was so...

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    We are looking like it at the moment. I know it's only the last 3 games, but yesterday we were so awful. Words cannot even begin to describe just how bad we are and the cracks are indeed beginning to show. If TM was to bring in at least 3 new players tomorrow I would be feeling a lot more...

    Sam Ricketts

    But he was very much at fault for the first goal too. That was HIS man and he just ambled out of the 6 yard box, so he was directly at fault for both goals. Can't see how that equates to a good soild game. I really rate the bloke and he has been brilliant for us, but lately he just hasn't been...

    Murphy/The first goal

    First goal looks like it's Ricketts' man and he just ambles out of defence and leaves him all alone just outside the 6 yard box. Think the second one looks like Ricketts too.

    And The Cracks are Beggining to Show

    I've been really, really positive, but against Burton, as soon as that first goal went in we didn't have a clue and today was just totally shocking. Scunthorpe tore us apart. Could easily have been 4-0 by half time. When you look at that and the fact it is 3 lost in a row and we have scored...

    Rose did spend a lot of time on the right though today on occasions.

    Ramage had loads of errors in him. Think there were three really horrendous ones. I want to like the bloke, but he is so slow, not comfortable on the ball and he seems unable to win headers or have any control of which direction they travel in. For me he was truly shocking. Ricketts was poor...

    Why, have we bribed the opposition?

    You don't usually rest your captain though anyway do you. At 34 it's a hard ask to expect him to last a whole season.

    Can I just ask if the Sun and the Moon aren't round either? Cos if they're not I need to go to Specsavers.

    I don't think 'Peter Ramage' is the answer to any question to be honest, unless it's 'What's old, slower than a tortoise and gets fans on the edge of their seats for all the wrong reasons?'

    So, we need about 6 points to avoid the drop. Can you see anywhere where we can bag 2 wins?
