You can kiss any points goodbye for the next 2 games for a start.

So the next three games will be zero points, probably zero goals scored and I predict 8 or 9 conceded. We will get thrashed away to Pompey and Oxford (probably by three or more goals in both). I believe the Rochdale, Burton and Lincoln games are the only ones where we may pick up some points. I predict we will get 2/3 more points this season. Either one lucky win, or a couple of draws. Have to give Garner some credit...he’s united the fans quicker than Coughlan divided them!

What a superb end to the season. Maybe get 5 points. In the meantime, scoring virtually nothing and conceding a shed load. Great eh!
It's got to the point that we are wishing that the defeats are not too heavy. If Southend can score 3 against us some future opponents must be licking their lips.

With the possibility of that sort of end to the season should make summer recruitment that much harder and season ticket sales more difficult.

I feel that all our youngsters in the midfield are going to turn into run of the mill National League players. Only players that BG brought in have a chance to be good enough I feel. What you are saying is that Garner gets his players from bigger clubs, there fore they must be better. I disagree

Perhaps the rest of the season will get cancelled if there are many more Corona cases. Then resurrect the "pools panel" to decide promotion and relegation. Knowing our luck the pools panel will consist of a Swindon supporter and 3 Sh1!heads

You can kiss any points goodbye for the next 2 games for a start. Ipswich's recent form is as bad as ours and I believe James Norwood might be still out injured when we play them, with Ogogo back from suspension then if the players haven't completely given up we may actually get something from that game. Although if we lose another two consecutive home games then I can't see how Wael can stand by BG with next year's season tickets due to go on sale.

Garner would get his contract extended

Treat the last few games as a gathering of football friends which for some will never be seen again at the mem. One thing I have found with people I know is once you stop going the pull ain't there anymore.plenty of other things to do on matchdays now

What you are saying is that Garner gets his players from bigger clubs, there fore they must be better. I disagree Yeah only got to look at our best / most important signings over the last few years, here’s a handful. Bodin - Torquay ( I think) Taylor - Forest Green Mansell - Torquay Sinclair - Salisbury Generally our best signings have come from either non league on the up or cast offs from similar sized clubs. Gerry Francis and DC were the masters of bringing in players nobody had ever heard of and building cracking sides. I can’t yhink of many great young loans we’ve had over the years, and even less that have gone on to sign for us later on and do well.

Yes I noticed that too when looking at the current form tables. Admittedly before Saffend, but we're not bottom in any of them, despite how terrible it seems. And it is terrible.

The Rochdale home game is the next match I think we realistically have a chance of getting something in and we have 3 games to play before we get to that. Under Coughlan, we might not have been as good as the likes of Ipswich, Sunderland, Peterborough but we would stay in the game and might nick something out of it if we played well enough.
With Garner, so far our heads just seem to drop when we concede, it really knocks our confidence and we struggle to get back into games, the Sunderland away game the other week being a prime example of that. It’s our psychology more than anything as we have more or less the same core of players on the field as when we were doing well.

I agree with this. Our players seem to be half a yard slower, not only physically but mentally. It’s almost like they’ve switched off and are going through the motions. But then again when you don’t believe that the boss is any good and hasn’t a scooby, it’s understandable. Their belief in the ‘project’ is just not there.

Garner reminds me of Trollope to an extent, both young and in their first foray of management with us, both struggled with correctly man managing players (think Andy Williams and what a talent he could of been for us) and both possessing a good knowledge of the game in general. I think the difference is that Trollope had Lennie Lawrence behind him to advise him whereas Garner has Maher and Mansell, both ex pros that haven’t managed or coached for too long either, If Garner is still here in the summer, I think we need to appoint a DoF or an experienced assistant manager to help him out a bit. Trollope also played with us which helped as we knew him and he knew us before he stepped up into management. I don’t think Garner has made the effort to ingratiate himself with the fan base yet or truly grasp what the club is about and that’s a problem he needs to maybe address.

Garner's lost the fan base even before he gained it

Any manager needs to be able to inspire. Garner is incapable of it. He has less charisma than a blunt pencil. Forget his neuro-science, phase of f**king play b**sh*t. JUST LEAD. GARNER OUT.
