Excellent Glen - I cant wait for your report of the predictable Ipswich defeat.  We are a sorry shower of shite and all hope of an uplifting season is bit by bit drifting away after each game.  I walked out when the fourth went in and have vowed not to bother again until either the manager is sacked or he sets the team up to play football in a way that they are capable of - not him dreaming of!

I suppose 4 months is a long time …😜

We finally have spine to the team with GB THB FD and Che it’s not surprising we are playing better with that in place

Proper feisty northern clogging game yellow cards like confetti 

Ipswich defeat first then a draw

Better to put daylight between those below us

Funny old game first half as good as last Saturday then a final 30 minutes as bad as some of those early cringing defeats! However when the team run out to St Mary’s on February 10th after 3 away games they should get the loudest longest reception ever!!

Clearly cover for Jo being away/injuries/suspensions and a very hectic February coming up

We have no choice but to keep him; we wouldn’t get that much for him yet would have to pay a lot more even to replace him 

Get Stuey to take the inswinging corners from the left not Mannings poorly hit outswingers!

Two of his in the first half were MLT/JWP esque

Just loving life in Kingsland Block 35 under the best manager for years and moving from the Northam next to the away fans ruining every Saturday night…

Like waking up in heaven after a nightmare!

Don’t blame the goalie definitely the front 5 collectively needed to perform better 

After this gruelling 10 day period plus injuries the team selected will be interesting 

all the family are going to the game so I hope it’s a proper cup tie

Having watched the highlights back Jack should have let the ball come across him then slide it down the line to KWP who was already on the move waiting for it to link up with Mara

Such a pointless lazy unnecessary back pass

At home so they will not know whether to stick or twist which always makes it more interesting interacting with our style of play 

That fourth goal - 9 passes from goalkeeper to back of the net with three lovely elements of skill involved ⚽️🥅😇

Well every hand on deck for the next 10 days keep the shape and the faith try and kill a few games off early to save the legs.

Swansea at home sold out St Mary’s rocking!

So, seven key players and we have a spine at last? GB THB FD SA AA

Quite funny watching the bin dippers trying to emulate our style of passing out from the back using the keeper as a sweeper…

So much for Premier League leaders 

What would we have done to them with KWP on the right, a decent left footed left back and a centre forward actually in the middle not on the wing?? So annoying Ross is injured because when they went down to 10 we were pulling them all over the place and there was an enormous hole  in the middle just begging for a mobile number 9 in there!

He wound up both Steve Williams and Osgood conned the referee and got them both sent off when we lost 2-1 up there; the return game at the Dell we hammered them 5-0 and I think that was the most vitriolic atmosphere for many a year!!

What a load of old nanny moaners on here! They are all trying fgs! Bloody hard when as per usual they put 9 in defence and have a big lump at the back and up front 

our main problem is lack of pace…Sulemana??

That Hearts striker Shanksands? Might as well go totally Scottish…

Well if we keep a clean sheet against an in form big physical team then they will all deserve a medal 

Well at least he’s got that one out of the way

They look like draw specialists

Ironic isn’t it when the away team can’t decide whether to stick or twist we can tear them to shreds but if they put 10 behind the ball we are suddenly slow an ponderous? Hmm

18 games in for a young squad literally thrown together in reality in that scenario you would reasonably expect bottom 6 at best so to be 4th just accept it laud it and embrace it
