Every cloud has a sliver lining. At least we've consolidated our position at the top of the League 1 Red Card and Yellow Card Tables (following a barren evening last Tuesday).
Gunter - not good enough (squad player) Famewo - good enough if fully fit Oshilaja - not good enough Purrington - not good enough Maatsen - immature, not ready
Jaiyesimi - too early to judge, needs to show something soon Pratley - not good enough Shinnie - not good enough Millar - good enough when on form, about as good as we could expect Watson - not enough Smith - too early to judge
Stockley - good enough Washington - not good enough (squad player) Aneke - good enough if fully fit
Only three players are good enough to start in a promotion winning team next season, and all three of them are in on loan.
You wait to see how much better they will look under a decent manager. Going to watch the Rugby too and won't be buying another VP game until Bowyer is gone.
I’m in not doubt the truth is somewhere in between.
Bowyer needs to go but this isn’t a promotion winning squad. How many would get in the 11/12 or 18/19 side?
LOL all you want - you need to watch a bit more football and see how this happens all the time when a manager has lost it.
As Scoham says, let us know how many of these players would've got in the 11/12 or 18/19 teams.
Yes confidence is shot and we shouldn't be THIS bad. A change is probably needed to clear the air more than trying to save our season or any nonsense like that because once again, the players aren't good enough for that.
This squad should be a solid 7th-12th placed group. No doubt that if this carries on we'll finish bottom half.
You want Bowyer to stay but are happy slagging the players off. See what happens when he goes, I promise you they will all look better.
The post you've quoted says that a change is needed ie bye bye Bowyer. I don't think we are disagreeing on that point any more. The question is how good are these players? I say not very much, you reckon they are top six quality. I suppose we'll never find out for certain.
If Bowyer goes before our next game we will find out soon enough.
Ah I know how this goes.
Bowyer goes, we get a couple of wins in the next few games and you get to tell us you were right all along. Meanwhile, the overall trend of poor results continues and we finish the season in 12-15th.
It'll be very reminiscent of Powell's 2010/11, four wins on the spin followed by free fall.
A dozen or so games ain't going to be enough to know for certain.
So he goes and we instantly improve and it doesn't prove anything to you. Do you think the world is flat btw. Of course we could get worse Then you can put it all on the players can't you?
So do you think that 2010/11 squad was good enough for promotion because Powell won his first four games in charge?
Hate to say this but it's a shame Blackpool took their foot off the pedal as 5 goal thrashing would surely have forced Sandgard to put Bowyer out of his and our misery

I hope we appeal the Aneke red.
This is a performance that (quite rightly) gets managers the sack. The team is totally shot.
It will just be embarrassing.
Popcorn in the microwave
What a journey!

Pratley doing that twice this season really makes me question him as a professional.
He looks very "bouyant" ... the fat f***er.
