Here we go again …
Clueless - Pathetic - no energy - lack of urgency or passion.
We are absolutely in real danger of dropping to L2 - the loanees won’t care and most of those leaving won’t care .
I have zero confidence in the owners of our club and very little in a manager who has inherited a pile of crap who cannot perform the very basics. That said his starting eleven beggars belief, his game management is average and his substitutions are baffling.
This week has been an utter joke - but the cracks are now holes and getting wider by the week.
Really disheartened tonight as were many around me - fans deserve way better.
Please tell me where the twelve points we need are going to come from with this dross.

Just hoping we can find a bit of confidence/form to get the wins needed to stay up. It's painfully obvious most of the squad are no where near up to it or aren't playing for the manager. Selling Collins and not getting a striker has left us painfully short upfront, I don't know why we didn't loan a striker in?

Listening to the manager post game sounds like he has given up with this squad.
Seriously worrying times.

Because we have no one at the top making long term decisions Was blatantly obvious we were scrambling around the loan market just hoping we might pick up someone who might play somewhere Really hope MT is backed in the summer, only having Martin and Marquis to see us through half the season is a water take.

The previous manager gave up on it at HT v Stevenage at home, told them all he was resigning. Mangs never won enough to get the job, I was at Reading, abject performance like this. We will stay up, time to recall Greenslade as well. You can’t beat Bolton, Pompey, Oxford, and be a crap side, the first 13 are top 10 in this league, the issue is Grant, Gordon, Marquis, Cox, Friend, always getting games because the rest can’t stay fit. |

Wes, you are a real football man, Grant, Marquis, Gordon, not just one, you can carry one player. You can’t carry 3 in a team, as a scout, would you recommend any of these three to any Div1 side? The wouldn’t recommend any to a side in Div2 next season going for promotion either |

Even Mangan had a better PPM 🤣 New manager bounce/ a load of players trying their absolute best to get their mate the job. I said I’d give Mangan the job but performances weren’t great under him either. The big problem is everyone’s been blagged into the thought process we have a top squad, we really don’t. We have some woeful players. My big concern is that I’ve heard a while back that there are a number of players who aren’t having, Taylor. Performances recently would indicate that’s the case. Taylor isn’t completely faultless in this either. Some really weird subs. |

We'll be OK but it'll be nervy.

What has Taylor actually improved, because his results, performances and signings don't look an upgrade? |

Not really fair to judge his signings yet |

The squad is crap and the players can't be bothered, I cannot wait for this season to be over! I doubt Taylor is instructing certain players to gormlessly stand about watching as the game goes on around them.

These players are good enough btw. They just aren't trying and are poorly organised and unmotivated. Bit like our fanbase and its songbook.. |

Okay, I’m going to employ you to build me a wall but you’re not allowed any cement. Good luck, let me know how you get on. |

You’re right they aren’t trying but there’s a lot who aren’t good enough that played today. |

A steady stream of fans left the ground when Burton scored their 2nd, that is a major worry when fans walk out so early, and yet I understand why. Everyone around me commented while watching people leave all over the ground “ Well that’s it - game over” .. truth is, it was!!

Like a bit of dry stone walling myself. I'm neither convinced, nor unconvinced by Taylor so far. The fact remains that he is yet to improve what we have in any measurable way at all. Not all the blame lies with the poor squad. It's his job to coach them and so far he doesn't seem to be doing a great job. |

There is no defending the fact that we are worse now under Taylor than under Barton. The football is absolutely shocking. We need the big boys back to see us over the line with 4 wins asap. Taylor needs to be given the benefit of doubt and a summer window to recruit players who suit his style of football.
But as it stands with those injuries we are bang in trouble. Bang bang in trouble.
