    Play-offs

    If you count the JPT, that's 3 home games in a row we've lost. Hardly inspires you with confidence for a great run does it!

    Elliott

    He looked very, very raw indeed yesterday I thought. He was lively and quick and gave the Crewe defence something to think about but he's still got an awful lot to learn.

    Our biggest problem has to be...

    Yep, totally agree. We have won no more than 2 games in a row all season. We now need to win something like 4 or 5 and we haven't even got a manager. Barring 2 wins out of Bournemouth and Swindon this week, our season is over.

    Our biggest problem has to be...

    I deleted it after watching it so can't check. If it was Leon then I need my eyes testing. Fact is the ball could have been quite easily headed clear. A player should never be able to volley the ball in, in a crowded penalty area from a corner. It's just terrible defending.

    Our biggest problem has to be...

    That's another thing that's just occurred to me. Had we not thrown away even half those points no-one would be moaning about Leon Clarke and his work rate or whether he is lazy or not. It's our defence that has let us down time and time again. It's almost as if we now have to score at least 2...

    Elliott

    Well obviously not Clarke, cos he's crap. :facepalm:

    Our biggest problem has to be...

    It was Edge I'm pretty sure. Unless my eyes are failing me. I freeze framed it and he sticks a leg out when he could have quite easily headed it away.

    Our biggest problem has to be...

    More points thrown away from winning positions than any other team yet we think we can win 8 games out of 12? :( The defence wasn't good enough last season and it's not good enough this. That is why we keep throwing points away. We need 2 new centre backs.

    Derek (Ricky Gervais)

    I am a fan of Ricky Gervais, but I have to say his portrayal of the Derek character is awful. Ruins the whole programme for me. It's way OTT, cheesy, unbelievable and caricature-ish. It's terrible acting and totally ridiculous. Massive fan of The Office and Extras and I like nearly...

    Our biggest problem has to be...

    That first goal of theirs yesterday was shocking. How a player can volley in like that in the 6 yard box from a corner is beyond belief. Edge at fault. If you put the vid on pause the ball was there to be headed out and for some reason Edge went for it with an outstretched leg. 2nd goal was...

    Play-offs

    But as has been said, even when Robins came in and did a great job, our home form was still very, very poor. We still lost 5 home league games under Mark Robins. Are people saying we are going to able to bring a manager in who could do what Mark Robins achieved? :confused: Because that is...

    Sorry everyone

    Yep. It is a terrible, terrible record. We have lost to Crewe, Carlisle, Scunthorpe, Shrewsbury, Notts County and Stevenage and only drew against Bury. All these teams are below us in the league. It is dire. Why anyone would think that is suddenly going to change I have no idea.

    Sorry everyone

    Didn't think we were outfought today. Crewe were well organised and disciplined, but still the keeper had to make 3 very good saves, we hit the post and had 1 cleared off the line, as well as Bailey's shot that should have hit the back of the net, but went narrowly wide in the first half. Once...

    Staying In league 1 for another season?

    74 points may well be not enough. We are not going to win 8 out of 12 though anyway are we. We have won just 5 home games all season ... 5! Why would anyone believe that is suddenly going to change? Our defence isn't good enough. The only way the stat is going to change is if we strengthen...

    Touchy subject I know but..................

    I just don't get it. Any thread about Elliott has always been whether he should start rather than be on the bench. No thread on whether he is shit or not. Yet we have thread after thread after thread asking that question about our top scorer and the 2nd top scorer in the entire league.

    Back to the holiday camp attitude under Carsley and Oggy

    The thought of Oggy as assistant manager just makes me shudder.

    Staying In league 1 for another season?

    As I say, depends who comes down. If it is 3 'big' teams they would all surely be favourites for the title. Out of the 3 last year, Donny and us are challenging, only Pompey have fallen by the wayside, but then they have had a 10 pt penalty hanging around their necks all year.

    Back to the holiday camp attitude under Carsley and Oggy

    In today's CT Carsley has said we have the best players in the league. Have to say, I do not agree with him. If we have then we have the most underperforming group of players in League One.

    Staying In league 1 for another season?

    Will be a terrible thing if we don't go up. Could be 3 Championship teams coming down who may all be amongst the very favourites to win League One. 3 more teams in competition. We will probably lose more good players and replace with lesser.
