How many more threads are we going to do questioning whether the ground situation is affecting the players? We won 5 in a row knowing that the lease expires in May and that Wasps said they didn't want to negotiate until the legals are called off. As Mrs May likes to say "nothing has changed".
It has changed. Time is running out and SISU's recent transience and insistence on appealing yet again has now put serious doubt on us having a deal to play at the Ricoh. WASP do not need us there to survive and it's looking like SISU's gambling with the dice may bite us all on the bum. The players have a short career and I suspect some want away in January. Yes the situation has changed...it's become more urgent.
Really Nick? Who the hell would want JCH? Half the squad would not secure another club.It hasn't changed. We have been just as poor before, it was masked with a few wins.
The players will just go and get new clubs.
Our form has Absolutely nothing to do with the ground situation.

I have been in that situation 3 times, it is not good.In my op I have highlight a number of issues not just the Ricoh. But to follow up on your opinion, if your company was at risk of going out of business and your job was therefore on the line, would that affect you or would you carry on regardless like a happy swan?
It is no different to this time from last season and were winning games and on the promotion charge.In my op I have highlight a number of issues not just the Ricoh.

I don't accept that premise Stupot. These are young lads who dream of bigger things and may see some of those hopes at risk. As for a deal to be done for the Ricoh, it is seriously in question.It is no different to this time from last season and were winning games and on the promotion charge.
The reason we're struggling is that we don't score goals and are continuing to play negatively.
We will not go bust, a deal will be sorted. Football is completely different to a 'normal' business. Players have come here knowing exactly what the situation is, its been well documented.

If we are hovering above the relegation zone with half a dozen games to go and it becomes clear that there will be no Ricoh deal and we are in grave danger of being kicked out of the football league you see whether that makes a difference.It hasn't changed.

Will see if we are still playing one isolated up front at one nil down as well.If we are hovering above the relegation zone with half a dozen games to go and it becomes clear that there will be no Ricoh deal and we are in grave danger of being kicked out of the football league you see whether that makes a difference.
On that performance today every aspect of Shrewsbury's play was better than ours, even down to the basics of fitness and desire.Really Nick? Who the hell would want JCH? Half the squad would not secure another club.
I struggle to believe the off-field worries really affect the players. If they're any good they'll just go somewhere else, as about 10-12 of them will probably do anyway most summers.
No, I put our slump down to two factors: a season-long problem - lack of good strikers; and a circumstantial one - the EFL Trophy defeat to Cheltenham.
First, none of our strikers has shown or is showing any sign of being a 10-15 goal-a-season (for argument's sake) man. I think this was largely predictable until we signed Chaplin, hence the clamour to get him in, but has remained the case as Chaplin continues to disappoint.
Second, losing to Walsall in the FA Cup may have been frustrating, but by all accounts was at least the result of a proper cup tie and a spirited performance. Oh well. But Robins really screwed up in the quest of giving game time to kids in the Cheltenham tie. As bad a City performance as I've ever seen and out of another cup in the space of four days. There, you worried the wrong attitude had been shown; the wrong message sent. 'We're okay lads, let's fuck this one off', or words to that effect. Bakayoko was abysmal in that match.
The cruel blow I think was the Walsall game and our needless self-sacrifice in stoppage time. The fact it was the softest of penalties only underlines the fact that you can't fool about with fortune - every match must be played to be won.
There's my musings hammered out into a thread.
Team spirit was demolished post season, still strange how many players he signed. Pressure on squeaky robins
I said at the time it was a mistake and we should have tried to keep the winning mentality but people said it didn't matter and we had just won X games. It was stupidThe mess over the past couple of months has highlighted the stupid decision to field weakened teams in all 3 Cup competitions.
If I'm right in saying... We have played 5 games in cup competitions? We lost 4 and drew 1 against Forest Green?
You omitted to mention we're playing in a higher division his season. It makes a big difference. Remember we only finished 7th in League Two last season.I struggle to believe the off-field worries really affect the players. If they're any good they'll just go somewhere else, as about 10-12 of them will probably do anyway most summers.

Yes sorry forgot we sealed 6th with a 0-0 draw at home v Morecambe....6th actually but the rest of your argument is pertinent.
Which one was that?JCH had a point-blank shot stopped by a blinding save though
When he tapped in that offside goal from 1 yard, he nearly missed.JCH had a point-blank shot stopped by a blinding save though

It was going down hill before that. Thats the thing, it's not a sudden issue.bit of coincidence since the latest court case and statements from all parties it’s gone downhill. plenty has changed and the off the field dramas are having effect. even the sun dream team Facebook page released a video about it. since the news broke that all parties are in deadlock again our performances have dropped. you have to be naive to think otherwise
