I don't understand why is it leyton orient have come back twice from behind to win in injury time? How it is that always happens. A draw or loss would of been great for us.

It always happens.

Probably unlike us, they switch to plan B......we just stick with plan A, but it's ok the late equaliser vs Scunthorpe is a testament to sticking with Plan A, forget all those games we failed to be back, they don't count....

Remember we are supposed to be happy we are fifth from bottom and one point from the relegation zone.

That Alan Poole knows a thing or two about football.

its the fans fault we are at our lowest point for near on 55 years

A change of manager for Scunny and Gillingham have saved them and even Crawley new manager has lifted them.

if we stay with this Scottish clown , who we are now supposed to not complain about if we really supported the team , we are truely fucked

I don't know why, but I keep running the Phil Neil scenario in my head. We acted just in time then - despite a win in his last game.

What makes me so mad about journalists who give their opinion on our situation ,like the Alan Pooles /Clive Eatkins of this world , is they obviously do not have anywhere near the passion for this basket case of a club we on here or GMKONLINE /the CT site itself or any other site,or the fans who do not go on any internet site who love this club dearly

We live and breathe this club, it affects our weekends, it affects our Monday's/Tuesday's and every other day of the week if we win lose or draw . It makes our Monday's bearable at work if we win , but on the flip side it makes our week until the next weeks game unbearable, they simply do not understand

We have suffered as much as any other club throughout the leagues for the lack of success , yes I know we won the FA Cup, but most other clubs have had a successful season to enjoy and put in the memory bank ,which must be so fantastic to be part of.

We have had just one successful day to enjoy, they have had a whole season, can you imagine 40 weeks of enjoyable football and a promotion /playoff push and the feeling it gives you, we can't .

We have hardly touched a top ten finish for as long as I can remember, so comments from twits like Poole ,show how little they know and more importantly understand us.

So I strongly believe we have earn't the right to moan at this club and how it's been managed, and people like Alan Poole and Clive bloody Eatkins should respect how we have suffered , and what we have been through the last half century .

We should not be challenged by people like them who question our support , when we finally start to revolt

They also believe their status makes them more intelligent and knowledgeable about the game over the average fan despite them having no football credentials what so ever.

1. Who believes a change of manager now would help us to find the spark and start climbing the table right away?

2. If you do believe that then who would be your choice be for such a role?

Look close to us first, WBA and Blues have picked up and then go further afield and most clubs who have got rid are doing better. We don't need a Mourinho or a Guardiola, just someone who can freshen the team up, give it new ideas and give them confidence because we seem bereft of anything positive.

We might not beat the drop with a new man but we certainly won't with Pressley.

Against Scunthorpe the other night it was built up as a huge game, a six pointer, a cup final, a game for us to pull away and I would imagine that was (or certainly should've been) in Pressley's team talk, look what happened. Now take today, I bet those same words would've been used in all of the dressing rooms for the teams around us. They now will have confidence they will catch us up and go past us.

Please Sisu for fucks sake, get one thing right and sack Pressley. If you don't, you risk our club going into oblivion. Sorry for the dramatics but this is now starting to drive me fucking nuts.

The problem lies much deeper than the manager for me. 5 loans is not what's needed at the minute, especially youthful loans. Pressley is not doing a good job but hockaday would just be another andy thorn and at this moment it'll just be another hole in our grave to be dug. We need a manager with experience in saving clubs in danger.

It's a consortium of local people / finance / leaders who will save us - can't see them coming from anywhere but nothing on the pitch will save our club or not

True buddy. We need a complete overhaul from top to bottom. Sisu don't care about the future of this club. The player turnover is scary, the short term contracts for 80% of the playing staff is scary. Are these players really that bothered about relegation? Look at 3 years ago when we went down? That season and this is so similar. I don't think one player from that season is here now which speaks volumes.

I really am believing now Sisu have no intention of leaving or changing the way the club is going.. I think they are making money even if it fails, with consultant's fee and interest on loans in place Sisu are able to take money out, failure will come as no shock or disturb these people one bit. If they had any resolve to turn this around SP would of been sacked after Worcester, SW would of been sacked for his transfer policy. And last but not least TF would of gone just because of falling attendances and his ability of pissing fans off with stupid deadlines and statements.

None of this is happening or looks like it, why?? they must be content with the way its set up, stall for time maybe to win a court or sell a player to take the big % of the fee while using the rest to fund the running of the club each year.. They are not showing that they care or ever have to change the direction of this club. They will pocket what they can,, sell who they can and cut wages where they can, while telling the fans that they are trying and a stadium is on its way,,,but in reality not caring where the decisions are taking the club. This club has become a vessel for Sisu to play with , to manipulate, to use for whatever they need it for other than to run it properly and with a sense of feeling for who are the lifeblood of the club...
