Typically over-dramatic bollocks. You’ll be saying you won’t bother buying a season ticket again soon.Thing that worries me is if its not this season its literally never
Its taken us 25 years, a quarter of a century to get into this position, and the league this season is mental and you have to capitalise.
My concern being if we blow it this year, firstly we have another 'rebuild' to do and we all know that means starting slowly and playing catch up again. Teams such as Birmingham and Wrexham with their cash will be stronger than they are this year. There will be another 3 parachute teams in the mix to add to Ipswich, Southampton, Leicester, etc
We all came to terms with the play off final knowing we were nowhere near ready off the field or on it. This is THE golden opportunity, and if we dont take it we never ever will. It absolutely has to be this season
As I said in the match thread Steve, I've kept my positive hat on going into today as others were writing pretty incredulous stuff...but something about that today has just blown a fuse.
Not that you’d know it from reading this forum, but there are ways to improve performances and results other than just signing new players every time someone plays badly.I doubt if any additions we’re looking at/people are clambering for would’ve changed that element today
It would perhaps help if we had more than Haji Wright to impact the game off the bench of course.Not that you’d know it from reading this forum, but there are ways to improve performances and results other than just signing new players every time someone plays badly.
I said the same thing before the game today.It would perhaps help if we had more than Haji Wright to impact the game off the bench of course.

Well for a start I’m happy to bet that it’s not “literally never” in terms of our chances of promotion. If you want to give up that easy then be my guest, just don’t run around calling the players gutless when you’re on here pulling the Chicken Little routine every season.Tell me where im wrong then mr fucking oracle

Of course it’s not “now or never”. It’s a ridiculous statement.Tell me where im wrong then mr fucking oracle
Torps got a poor injury record of late, he starts performing gets injured comes back rinse and repeat, not his fault but we require another robust midfielder who like to pass the ball forward sometimes, as much as I like Grimes his default pass is backwards or sidewaysSteady on, you can see we need some fresh legs in, we’re not bottling it, torp and Asante give us more goals, that’s all we need
We are desperate for a quick defender who is quick and can defend on a regular basisI’d understand more if people had been saying we’re desperate for defensive re-enforcements but all I’ve seen is midfield and attackers, which I agree with. That wasn’t the problem today though, Birmingham had 3 shots on target and 30% possession
I’d like to think that defensive inc keeper unit performance won’t be repeated. They’re usually far better than that.
Andrews was brought on late so he counts as one of the 6 for the fa cup I would imagine, others being Bidwell, Wolf, Lati, Allen (if he is in the right mindset) and 1 other that isn't knackered and can be riskedDefensively shambolic today, our midfield was woeful. Simms and Ephron did alright but unless we bring in 2 or 3players this window we will continue to slide down the table.
Our players aren't robots you can see how fucking exhausted mentally and physically they are. Bringing on Andrews just goes to show how bad it is depth wise.
Our lads need some fucking help Doug.
6 for the fa cup?Andrews was brought on late so he counts as one of the 6 for the fa cup I would imagine, others being Bidwell, Wolf, Lati, Allen (if he is in the right mindset) and 1 other that isn't knackered and can be risked
When did they bring this law in? Can't find it anywhere? There was that law for the checkatrade but when did they bring it in for the FA Cup? I've seen teams basically change the whole team for FA cup games?Andrews was brought on late so he counts as one of the 6 for the fa cup I would imagine, others being Bidwell, Wolf, Lati, Allen (if he is in the right mindset) and 1 other that isn't knackered and can be risked
WilsonAndrews was brought on late so he counts as one of the 6 for the fa cup I would imagine, others being Bidwell, Wolf, Lati, Allen (if he is in the right mindset) and 1 other that isn't knackered and can be risked
Fuck knows...heard it mentioned just presumed it was right6 for the fa cup?
I think Doug will give Frank what he needs and we'll kick on. If we do cuck it I might be done with football though. I'd certainly come off here, no good could be done staying on.
Thats enough to scare anyone........Wilson
Lat
Perry
Wolf
Bidwell
Shepherd
Eccles
Andrews
Sakamoto
Wright
Brau

Brau on that wing pal could scare a fucking cartel awayThats enough to scare anyone........
Including us
Of course it’s not “now or never”. It’s a ridiculous statement.
To be fair didn't you say it was our only chance in both playoff seasons?13 points clear at halfway. No ones ever been that clear and not done it, imagine the mental toll it would take on players and fans
Milan, Haji, Simms, all.gonna be sold.as last year of contract. Rushworth return, other good players inevitably poached. Another rebuild coming no?
Wrexham and Blues have cash to burn, they will be stronger alongside the likes of West Ham, Wolves Burnley having parachute payments. Youre pissing in the wind if you think this isnt the chance
It would definitely be harder next few years if we don't make it. However we're going up so who cares. I'd be a bit more worried if we were just churning out shite performances over the past month and losing 4-0 but it's been very fine margins. Reality is it'll likely swing back in our favour.13 points clear at halfway. No ones ever been that clear and not done it, imagine the mental toll it would take on players and fans

Of course it’s A chance. But we’ll be in the league next year at worst. I remember all too well the Luton game being the one chance. And yet here we are again.13 points clear at halfway. No ones ever been that clear and not done it, imagine the mental toll it would take on players and fans

What if Doug has told Frank, he wants a cup run this year aswell.
I know but we don't have the depth at the moment. Players get injured when they're fatigued too.Agree we should rest a few but is that fair on the 5000 making the trip?
The main one being resting tired players who over halfway into the season just can't maintain those levels any more.Not that you’d know it from reading this forum, but there are ways to improve performances and results other than just signing new players every time someone plays badly.
Next two games are massive.9 point gap to 3rd, our home record is still fine, hit a bit of a stumble but nothing compared to mboro’s and we’ve got a more favourable run of games from now, just keep you’re shit together… talking of we’ve bottled it and play offs, we’ll come out of January with a much better squad
They all are from this point.Next two games are massive.
Today was always a potential defeat, the dropped points against Charlton was worse than todayThose of us who were nervous, had every right to be nervous today.
Could see a defeat coming this afternoon.
Though, EMC was denied an obvious penalty. This can't keep happening. So many penalty decisions going against us.
The dropped points against Preston were even worse one nil up against 10 men .Today was always a potential defeat, the dropped points against Charlton was worse than today
