    You can buy try. It's weird I've calmed down now and just looking forward to Derby game. We can't go much lower than tonight imo.

    The key word there is "embarrassed".

    We can't mate. Need to teach them a lesson at their place. Silver lining being Connell got some minutes in his locker, hopefully he isn't far off being back fully fit matey.

    Agree. Collins isn’t the problem. It’s higher up the Club. Even if he’s successful this year past evidence suggests we will ‘rinse and repeat’ I.e. fire sale anyone of any value and gamble on replacements - on and off the field.

    That isn’t how you build sustainability or success.

    Hand on heart, I genuinely feel Nareev is trying to change this. It just takes so much time, especially with the funds available to us. The money we got for Andersen & Kitching was fantastic. Majority of us thought Cosgrove was a fantastic signing too. The first part I think is changing, where we don't sell on the cheap. It's the second part we need to work on, and perhaps had Kitching moved earlier on in the window we may have replaced him more adequately, I don't know. But hopefully the board will back him. I certainly hope so anyway.

    I'd have a run out but I'd need to be subbed within about 2 and a half minutes. :D

    At this level I'd agree. I'd agree lower end Championship but then what? You have to grow the club and move forward. We all laughed at Ipswich sacking Macca and getting relegated. Look at them now.

    Where do you all sit? Honestly I sit in the East Upper & I’ve not heard anyone moan about the manager or style of play yet I come on here & it’s like he’s Jose Morais.

    Is it boredom? People who don’t go & watch on ifollow? Ponty end?

    If you want to apportion blame, look at the players. There is no way in the world that team should be held at home to a team of part timers.

    I don’t care what instructions they go onto the pitch with, those players should be able to do more than pass the ball to death and then get caught on the break.

    They need to have good look at themselves. They treated the game like a practice match for the most part. Fannying about too much, getting caught and giving silly fouls away.

    The going behind and not winning thing still remains and quite a few regulars won’t be able to get tickets for the replay, due to the size of their ground.

    cheers guys.

    So can’t people who sit In The Ponty criticise ? Bit poor that you’ve lumped a stand in with armchair fans

    I don't know anyone who thought Cosgrove was a fantastic signing.

    Cosgrove & Watters were our main signings this summer, both are nowhere near deserving of a starting place. Really poor & a waste of money

    A lot of trash talk on ere, i'm happy with the way things are going, and the way we play football, but then again i do watch a lot of 6th an 10th tier football.

    Has everyone calmed down this morning?
    Even if he loses his next league match, he'll have still won half of his games. Connell is back. At least give him until January.

    I’ve not done that. I’m asking where the fans who aren’t happy are watching the games because I don’t hear criticism around where I sit & the people I speak to before the game & at half time.

    If I sat in the pointy end I would’ve used east stand instead. It wasn’t intended as a dig.
