    When I left on 89 mins the Crawley keeper had made one save. The utter chuff penalty that Novak took. We created nothing. Slade is a dead man walking imo.

    They had two shots on target and scored two goals?

    We could do with their striking coach.

    7 shots 2 On Target 4 Blocked 0 saved 1 off target.
  • Can anyone give more details on this??

    Anyone think Slade is taking the p*ss out of Katrien? Realised he was on an easy earner with three year contract and early release for poor performance?

    Yeah I said that a while back. Easy money
  • If he has any dignity left, he should walk away tonight....

    ..or at least before the Coventry match.

    Let's see where "they" go from there with no-one interested in joining their circus.

    The beginning of the end ?

    ( Bound to happen when we're in Tenerife!)

    He won't walk, he wants the payoff.

    alzheimer's/dementia, whatever you call it is awful all round.

    My grandma suffered badly with various issues throughout her life but for the last few years, she had no idea who anyone was, lost herself completely and it was harrowing. I was variously her dad, husband, son she never had and my son was variously me and other grandchildren.

    There's nothing you can do but go, hold her hand and hope it all ends.

    Good luck @redmidland, as you said, the real goodbyes happened in my situation years before and we felt in the end that death was a release.

    Hope it goes as well as such a thing can go.

    So very true, I grieved for my mum a few years ago, she was SE London through and through, she has battled all her life, at only 4' 11" tall, (my dad was 6' 4"), but he sadly died of a massive stroke 20 years ago. She raised 6 healthy kids through the 50's and 60's, and we had no money but she kept going and fighting, but now she is just a shell. i wish she would shut her eyes and pass peacefully.

    This, when was the last time a football manager walked away from a contract.

    Is he available on a long and expensive contract? Kat should know immediately.

    As soon as Johnson went into the team it was a write off.

    Thought he was one of the more committed players tonight

  • He was as everyone of his performances has been to be honest.

    However,
    The manager and players need to have a long hard look at themselves. Completely unacceptable on the whole. The standard of passing is atrocious. No movement, no idea. No closing down, no runs.

    Nothing.

    Just got in from visiting my mum in hospital....see we're losing 1-0 at HT...........oh well, same shit different day!!

    Hope your mum's ok mate.
    At least you ain't got to do the match thread
    Glad i'm not doing it mate...i cant be blamed!! 0-2 down.....what a f'ing joke.
    Sadly my mum who is in the final stage of Alzheimer's has now had a stroke.....I was at the QE2 Hospital just 5 min from The Valley..no compunction to go at all. Im back home in Leicestershire now.
    My dad had Alzheimer's and died aged 64 it really is a nightmare.
    God bless mate all the best
    I said goodbye to my mum years ago, she has had this terrible illness for 6 years now. Now with a minor stroke today, she has in effect all but gone. I sat and held her hand she thought I was her Grandad and my youngest sister was her mum. CAFC will struggle but at the moment it is immaterial, however as many of you know i also have GSD's and I would never let any of them suffer like my mum is...terrible, just terrible.

    Oh and this RS can fuck off as well!!
    My father has had dementia for around 12 years now, the last 4 he has been in late stage and doesn't know me or himself or anything really. He's like a 2 year old in an adults body.

    Terrible condition, only thankful that my Dad doesn't know what he has become or he'd be mortified. Nappies, often walking around naked, but on the plus side he seems as happy as a pig in s1ht!

    My mum died in June after having Alzheimer's for 8 years. In the scheme of things we got off lightly as the decline was very slow until the last three or four months, and even then she seemed happy in her own world, which is as much as you can realistically wish for.

    My own view is that you can do no more than try to provide a happy and comfortable environment while the disease takes hold, even if recognition has gone. The past may be lost to them, but it is possible for the sufferer to be content in the 'now', and that's all you can try and do.

    I think it's worse for the ones left behind. My poor old stepdad is 88 and did a fabulous job of caring for her, but he doesn't know what to do with himself now she's gone, even though it was tremendously difficult for him.

    I wish all the best to anyone suffering from or caring for anyone who has this awful condition.

    Just catching up on this as I was on calls where I needed to be fully engaged for all of the day. @Redmidland and a lot of you: gone through and "Liked" a lot of posts but that really doesn't do it justice. My heart goes out to all of you, particularly you RM as you go through what is hopefully a peaceful last stage. It sounds like all of you handle it with more grace than I ever could, and my hat is off to you for that.

    Shit result in a shit cup doesn't matter by comparison.

  • Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I have a couple of questions: I was just looking at the table and wondering... if we get two points from our next game against Colchester and Southampton lose to Crawley, both Southampton and we will be on four points. Who go through? Will it be decided on goal difference? What if the goal difference is the same? Goals scored? Or will there be an extra game?

    Does anybody really care?

    It goes down to whoever has the best manager. We're out basically and will finish bottom
