Im sorry but the last thing I want to see is Jervani Brown hugging and patting his ex team mates after a defeat.
Mabey I belong to a different era , Souness , T Butcher etc , but after that p*** poor showing , acknowledge the fans and get off.
Cox looked like a five year old , and the goal was one of the most embarressing I've seen in a long time .
How we're always in transition is beyond me , given any point in time , and we're saying got to get to january , got to get to the summer......
Seriously need to look at whats going wrong at this club.

So a lot of fans wanted a Manager who talks posh and sensibly but give me Barton any time. We could still end up in a relegation fight with the dross we are dishing up. How many times did Connelly and Crama pass the ball straight to an opposition player. Even Luke Thomas is passing backwards more than forward Headless chickens come to mind and the quicker we start playing attacking football the better. Exeter were awful but we were worse. Havent seen many occasions this season where a goal been disallowed for somebody in an offside position but didnt touch the ball but in truth we didnt deserve a point. Everything is fishy !. Barton is given a so called £1 million budget to improve the squad. Fast forward a few months no money and players exiting in numbers. That makes no sense and gives mixed messages

Somethings got to give Topper !. Either Taylor is treated like Barton and we know what happened or the board invest heavily to avoid relegation. Its been pointed out by some " all the money is gone on Barton and Co " and the board is confident this is one of the best budgets in the division. If the board is that confident then it don't bode well for bode well for Taylor . The fact we are apparently trying to sign a player valued at £250K seems to suggest the owners are backing MT. Is it a fact? 'Apparently' we were trying to sign the most prolific League 1 striker for a club record fee back in August. How did that turn out?

The fact we are apparently trying to sign a player valued at £250K seems to suggest the owners are backing MT. We thought that at the end of the last window as well and somehow finished the day with less players than we started with. City didn't take long to activate and sign the snake with a release clause, I can see this one failing too.

Dont believe the owners are providing funds and I wont believe it until i see these players come in. JCH IMO was just a show and they had no intention of paying for him.

Just got back..
I'll spare the unfortunates and skip straight to the anyhoos something less important.
If there was one thing more atrocious tonight than the weather, it was our performance.
Fair play to Exeter who thoroughly deserved their win. By a higher margin. They turned up on the pitch in industrious endeavours without the ball, and passed it well when in possession on the ball. I really like their commanding no39 and wish their no6 all the best as it looked like a nasty injury. Their fans sang, lent support as they always do in extreme away end conditions and their team gave them something to cheer about. And sing about.
On the other hand.... Cox has to be looking at himself on his performance tonight. Especially first half. Distribution as poor as Evans/Finley.....but he's making too many mistakes costing us goals. Every team now bangs the ball in under the crossbar.... it's been noticeable and out there for a while....we are in disarray as he can't command or communicate. A shot stopper, sometimes yes, but there's more to keeping and it's just an experiment for another club is all I see.
Statues. Where's this team spirit we were so proud of? They're playing like strangers.
Part of it I see as MT set up....LT starts on the left? AE too deep, as AC? JM to play up front alone? I would question all these tactics that conspired to put us on the back foot, lose initiative.
But part of it isn't set up.....AE set pieces found the defender first. His passing was awful. Overhit, underhit by Finley and AE. LT failed to get last his man many times, the substitutions weren't much better, but we did have an encouraging passage of play around 70mins when we were passing through their defence.... it's just no one could get a shot off. Well AC did a few times. Less said the better.
Ok we scored another disallowed goal....well done JM for perseverance, but from going one week with a lino that had his flag up his @rse when you need it to go up, we go to a lino flag happy when you want it to stay down!
To conclude: Not good enough across the pitch. Too many players didn't turn up. We were outplayed again.
The best shout I heard was: We are slower than Togg Hill! ....made me laff! ..... perhaps you'll get a better performance up there!?

The Owners Son is pulling all the strings - its almost as if Daddy has bought him a play thing and he is clueless , arrogant and rude to the staff - I am told from an absolute nailed on source that morale is very very low around the club - Listen hard enough and you will hear the whispers that he pulled the JCH deal ... maybe its just the wind though. Taylor needed three or four new faces in this window and at least two early in the window to try and build on the momentum there was at the start of the year - hasn't happened and I will be amazed if we bring in two! Even if we do its way too late and will not be anywhere near enough. Hopefully we can muddle our way to safety this season and Taylor can clear out the absolute dross he has inherited.

Truly awful tonight. McCormick only player who looked bothered. This stinks of the Tisdale reign, came in, players stopped playing for him & got sacked, preceded to get relegated to L2!

Even loans will be expensive, just shot ourselves in the foot if true.

Steve have you read or seen what JB's been posting daily on his Twitter feed since he was sacked, if not then take a look: x.com/Joey7Barton?t=LJ0liZ0NQmWbrHK_8iWySw&s=09, It's frightening to think what might have been going on behind the scenes if he behaved in the same manner when he was our manager. Sacking JB was clearly the right decision but perhaps we needed a more experienced manager to sort out the vacuum his dismissal created.

Havent seen many occasions this season where a goal been disallowed for somebody in an offside position but didnt touch the ball but in truth we didnt deserve a point. Linesman gave offside. Normally in those situations there will be a chat between the officials as ref is in better position to see if the offending player was obstructing the goalie. Think ref just went with the linesman. Anyway, deserved nothing. Watched from home. Cox looks lost but not sure if that's him or the back 4 not talking to him. Any of the midfield, wingers get the ball and they look up to see no options. Same as JBs last game in charge

First half was as bad as I can remember since we were relegated to non league. Dreadful.
Second half marginally better but still nowhere near good enough. The stats show zero shots on target in 100+ minutes at home against a side that haven't won away since early September.
That said, I watched on ifollow and Marquis was level for the first disallowed goal. The second disallowed goal also looked questionable.
We probably should have got a point in the end but that would have papered over some serious cracks because for much of that game we played like a Sunday league side.
We are now in real danger of being dragged into a relegation fight. Just 4 points above 20th and 8 above Reading in 21st who beat Derby tonight.
We'd only be 4 points off relegation if Reading hadn't had a points deduction.
Based on recent performances we need 4 or 5 quality additions just to keep out of trouble.

I'm utterly terrified about these owners. Something doesn't sit right at all. Same. Me too

I've always said there's zero evidence the new owners have the money needed to take the club forward, I think Wael's sold us down the river. Hopefully I'm wrong and we do now make some decent signings, although the worry is that Martin's not ill and he's now also off this week.

All these “better under Joey” shouts
I’d genuinely rather go back to non league again than ever have to think about the waste of oxygen being at this club 👍🏻

Listening to Taylor - Now not confident anyone is coming in this window ....
"We have gone from a deep squad to a thin squad .... this is the group we have to put out this weekend" !!
