    There’s bound to be a reaction. We’ve had plenty of options to choose from, with Benson and Palmer back, as well as Kitching. Playing a team below us in the table and we played awfully. We concede chances and can’t score goals.

    We looked like relegation fodder today.

    I haven't seen it but was it really the worst performance in years?

    I’m too lazy to research things @SuperTyke knows…. But surely there has been a worse performance in years.

    is it perhaps the several hundred pounds that are (probably rightly) upsetting you?

    I didn't go yesterday, but everything points to a poor performance.

    What's the comparable though? Altrincham? Grimsby? Think they're the worst away days I've experienced.

    The money is a small part of it.
    It’s the wasted time. The planning that went into the trip, the early start, the late return, the weekend taken up, my youngest daughter’s first away game.
    You go, in full knowledge that you could lose, but what really upsets me is
    The lack of a plan
    The toothless display
    The strange team selections
    But most of all
    The pathetic tactics. We’ve totally destroyed something that was working well, and replaced it with something that neither works, nor is pleasant on the eye. It’s just dull.
    It took less than 45 minutes to pretty much silence a party atmosphere of 3000 fans and replace it with a party atmosphere in the home ends.
    I honestly don’t know what our best team is - I do know that it doesn’t involve Odour as a striker.
    We have had many bad displays over the years, but this one feels so bad because I can’t see a way out of it with this manager.

    You’re one of the most rational fans on here. To hear you say this, is all a bit depressing.

    Actually thought he was one of the few positives in the second half as Blackpool put ten men behind the ball and shut up shop/Schopp. Looked lovely, kept the ball, probed, but ultimately had no one making runs. When players made runs we actually looked a decent team. Was far too rare though.

    I have no issue with us controlling possession and controlling the tempo of the game. That’s not the boring part. It’s our criminal lack of width that made yesterday so frustrating to watch.

    We’ve got the possession, I even think we’ve got the players, but not if we try and play football in a telephone box. Williams and Brittain should be hugging the touch line or coming inside, only for someone else to hug the touchline. It’s far too static up front other than Woodrow who gets involved in every move we have because he’s always showing for the ball and wanting to get us going.

    Is there a competition to see who will have the most patience?

    I’ve seen nothing to suggest this manager has any hope of recovery whatsoever.

    It isn’t histrionics just because you don’t agree. If we’d lost more games and got less points, but there was a glimmer of improvement and/or a sign of exactly what he was trying to achieve I’d have more hope.

    But it has been continuing dross, different players in different positions, no sign of a game plan, no sign of improvement. Nothing. Nada.

    If he doesn’t win one, probably both of the upcoming home games, we are bang in trouble.

    I disagree with the main point of the OP.

    A lot of the negativity is coming from level headed people who are generally very patient. It's not just the usual glass half empty people.

    We certainly need a win on Wednesday. If we lose, Forest will go above us on goal difference.
