Good piece by Sam Frost in Bristol Post this morning saying we are getting what we deserve could not agree more with him

Sums it all up, even he feels conned by all the crap that has been served up on the field and has been dished out by the board.

Never understand why people hold this Sam Frost guy up as such a bastion of gospel truth.
Most of what he says is supposition and the stuff he can find out for certain (the level of debt for example by simply looking at the accounts) he gets completely wrong.
His stuff is a bit lazy in my opinion.

Most of us have been saying this since September.
It's hardly groundbreaking stuff is it?

Surely you want some reflection how a club tipped to do well end up in basement division. |

If I want to think all the things I already think I can just think them, I don't have to read the Evening Post as a reminder. |

Surely you want some reflection how a club tipped to do well end up in basement division. Of course he's saying what we've all been saying - he gets it from GasChat and Gas Guzzler. That's how journalism works these days - numerous underpaid interns scan social media and translate what they find into "news". |

Certainly some significant change needed in the summer. I think the current squad might even struggle in league 2 given our performance and results against other bottom third clubs this season.
TW's position will certainly be up for discussion if Joey has a say as his mate has moved in already I read. Guess a couple of coaches will be moved on or redeployed.
Big question is who has the skills and abilities to lead the summer re-think? If Starnes and TW lead the review, I'm not hopeful they will blame themselves and stand down.

Most of us have been saying this since September. It's hardly groundbreaking stuff is it? No it’s not but it doesn’t need to be groundbreaking it’s just an accurate report of our season so far. I can’t argue with any of it. There is one thing I’d add and that’s that despite having 3 different managers we’ve not changed formations tactics or personnel much between the 3. Tutonda has pace and skill why hasn’t he been tried as a winger ? Hanlan is a winger why hasn’t he been tried as a winger. Daley has done little wrong when he’s played and has pace and a poacher instinct why hasn’t he played more? 3 different managers but other than Tisdales and Barton’s tempo generally being quicker it’s all been very samey. |

Its a damning read and in the public eye ... I take my hat off to him.
We have said it on here in our own little bubble ... what he says is not wrong at all.
Remember the amazing day we won promotion ... " There has been a Goal at the Memorial Stadium" - Neither Starnes nor Widdrington had anything to do with it, yet a few years later these total incompetents have overseen all of this being undone and cast to the bowels of memory only.
Wael must now truly grow a pair and make a tough call ..... Both should be fired as soon as possible they have totally let down Wael and the fans with their arrogance and bullshit. If both remain i fear we could go through L2 quicker than a huge dose of constipation relief tablets.
This summer must see a massive player clear out - even maybe buy up a few contracts and get people gone - Sorry Wael I am spending your money but to balance that, your nicey nicey way too close relationship with Bungle and Zippy has caused this position.

Let’s face the fact that it was WAQ’s vision that started this. If people keep denying this then there really is no point debating. He was the one who decided on pretty football and bringing in a bloke who had never managed and tore up a fairly solid L1 team I’m afraid to say the buck stops with him but I know the majority will not accept this |

If I want to think all the things I already think I can just think them, I don't have to read the Evening Post as a reminder. You’re right LJG. But I guess the reason, football wise, why we are where we are is so obvious and has been for the whole season. Not only does the report just state the obvious and there is, as you say, no great insight either but either does the situation call for it. Frost doesn’t give any insight because it’s been so obvious and it wasn’t rectified at the end of the first window, nor the January window so the inevitable happens. What a total mess! UTG! |

Seems a nice guy with genuine intentions for the club. But he is ultimately responsible. |

He is also naieve in thinking Starnes and Widdrington are good at their jobs. |
