The situation now is little different to when we went top of the league earlier in the season.
If you are wrong off the pitch you will never be right on it, we have no direction or aim, in fact we are a rudderless ship that is drifting to survive as a business with the football a secondary thought. The club will play word games and release stuff like we have one of the best academies in league football really fast showing a future while selling a young talent to fuel the ship to drift.
The players yesterday are to blame for the result but 9 who played have no future at the club and are going through the motions. Anderson said he was amazed TM was at the club last week stating one of the best in league football. Well ill be amazed if 1 TM doesn't know when smoke is being blown up his arse and 2 that he will hangs around to have the same situation next year.

SISU were hardly mentioned up to Xmas, then the court case, then the Madders sale and then Fletcher quoting our case is hopeless aligned with our poor form. I genuinely believe the sale of madders without any evidence of permanent replacements knocked the stuffing out of the team and the fans more than people think

What nonsense. Our form has been declining since November.
Did MK Dons decline when they sold Ali?
And this is the point of conversation, why? what has it what changed. I guess you are putting this down to 100% players and manager. I understand why you would just think its to easy to come up with that result. I think it goes deeper, i fear and have no trust in the direction the club is going, in fact i'm not sure what direction we are going in. I have said it for along time we are not getting it right off the field and that will hamper and effect any success on the field we have.
Since Xmas the feel around the club has changed, a combination off poor results but also SISU coming out of the woodwork, I think whilst the going was good its easier to forget the mess we are in. Selling Madders and the court case are the reminder of what a mess we are in.
Not sure of the relevance of MK to our situation is, MK Dons as a club are going in a different direction and their fans are a lot more positive about their club than Cov fans are.
Why did the player and manager perform at Sixfields then?
Is that an answer to do you think its 100% loss of form down to managers and players or do you think it goes deeper?. If so still not sure why form at Northampton relates to today's current situation at the club.
Drivel
If we don't get promoted next season how many of that starting X1 will be actually bothered, not too many as they won't be here, its a model that has beenefits but runs the risks as experienced by Swindon this season
If we get promoted how many would be here? They are not good enough for the championship anyway.
That argument is ridiculous given that the loan players have proven far more effective than many of the permenant players. Lamaries, vincelot, stokes, rose and Ricketts are far more likely to stay if we don't go up.
Wouldn't that reflect poorly on a recruitment policy, though? Shouldn't it be the manager's job to find players he can improve so they're capable of playing at the next level, and becoming a saleable asset to the club?
TM has said on SBP that player outgoings are not his domain while he only has limited input into player signings. It's Anderson who ultimately controls that side of the club.
Out of interest, is the interview available elsewhere and/or in print for those of us who don't have SBP?
That would contradict quite savagely the hullabaloo around Mowbray signing in the first place.
Is it 14 games left? Not quite dire straits just yet then....
But only 15 points from the last 14 games. I just don't see us getting into the playoffs much less actually winning them.
But our fate is our own hands isn't it?

Very strange, he said it was Venus not long ago..TM has said on SBP that player outgoings are not his domain while he only has limited input into player signings. It's Anderson who ultimately controls that side of the club.
<snip> I still can't get my head around why the forward line has been neglected it's been under performing for months now order am I deluded ?
People banging on about the squad for next season and the lack of players...I don't get why this is a shock as it's been the same for about 10 years now.
You're correct it has been the same for many years and is the same for many clubs. The reason people are taking issue is we are being told this season is the first season in a two year plan. How can you have a two year plan when after the first year you're basically starting again?
Not to say I think it's right...off course I'd like more longer term, contracted players but the squad position is symptomatic of the league we're in.
Exactly this!You're correct it has been the same for many years and is the same for many clubs. The reason people are taking issue is we are being told this season is the first season in a two year plan. How can you have a two year plan when after the first year you're basically starting again?
