    Why did we had to be so poor first half? Sorry but that's piss poor tactics.

    Can't afford to go too gung ho. Need to respect the opposition. And lose pitifully. Again.

    If we had gone for it more in the first half we would have been beaten before half time. !!

    Are you really that blind/deaf? We were drawing in the first half and still in it. We then changed to be more 'positive' and conceeded 2 goals in a minute and scored a big fat zero. How many do you think we would have conceeded if we'd done that all match?

    But not for Steele we would've been anyway MM. Best form of defence is to attack. I listened to dee darr and we sounded really poor 1st half.
    to be fair I had us down weeks ago, it would've been interesting had we won though.

    You could write what most people know about football on the back of a stamp. I don't claim to know any more but I at least I can see what is blindingly obvious. We tried to keep it tight and we took the lead. Unfortunately we conceded more or less straight away. We then did what everyone wanted, what people have been crying out for for weeks, we went for it because we had to. We conceded two goals doing that because the players we have simply aren't good enough. Just what anyone with any sense has been saying for weeks. The tactics haven't relegated us, they've kept us in it right up to the penultimate game. The lack of quality in the squad has relegated us. Had we done what everyone wanted we would have been relegated a month ago.

    No I'm not blind or deaf, It's hypothetical to say we would've got hammered had we been more positive first half. In any case they breached our defences time and again in first half only to find Steele on good form. I understand we conceded 2 at the end going gung ho, but perhaps it needn't have been that way. Oh and learn to respond to a proper post in a proper manner.

    And it's not hypothetical to say 'If we'd been more positive int (sic) 1st half, we wouldn't have had to chase game so late'?

    tbf its been down to woefull finishing by other teams not capitalising on the chances we were presenting rather than our ability to snuff teams till we were ready to pounce.

    oh and luke steele

    It's done now, we've been the worst team in the League all season. I still think its been baffling that Bobby hasn't featured under Wilson but Dee Dar Wilson knows league 1. Clear out time wether that's under Wilson or not is up to the Manchester Massive making a pigs ear of running a football club. You Reds thanks Bobby see you all next season

    No more hypothetical than what has previously been said. We should have got at them earlier in my opinion. Did you notice that I questioned no-ones hearing or visual limitations here by the way.

    So you can be hypothetical, but I can't? Opinions are all well and good, but to dismiss mine because it is hypothetical, when yours is too, is hypocritical.

    Good idea, then we'll see how many actually see it as it really is.
    Most of us do to be fair, but it's the dark clouds that seem to do the most rumbling unfortunately.

    May well have been but we'll never know. Its not today that's cost us but the abject displays we have been subject to week in week out.
    Just glad its finally over.
    I fear it will be a long time before we even come close to championship status.

    No, my main point is,, its about opinions and not questioning anyone's hearing and visual capabilities. Just because I believe we would've been best served being more positive in the first half and then perhaps we needn't have been as gung ho late on. Some- one has a different view point so what.

    That's my main fear.Hope we can bounce straight back, but I'm not confident at this moment in time.
