I am going to say it!! Yes I am, Nathan Jones......................
Out!!!! yes I said it and I don't care. Shit negative football, making 4-6 changes every game tell us he is desperate and has no clue. Dropping decent players who have played well for no reason. Horrible little manager with no clue whatsoever. How have we come into the season with no attacking midfielders and no wingers.…

The Under 21s Thread (Match updates and news)
On a personal level it is extremely disappointing that our Under 23's are seeking permission to play their matches at Beckenham Town this season.

Picture the scene - an evening game at the Valley in early November, we're on 14 points and not far above the Championship drop zone, having been beaten by a 3 goal margin by Middlesbrough at the weekend, and only having won 3 games and drawn 5 so far. The manager is coming under a bit of pressure, and there's a feeling in…
