    Pep wannabes? This is nowhere near good enough. It’s fair to point out our manager is stubbornly sticking with some of his choices that haven’t been working over the last few months.

    Another manager payout coming…
    I can't see them getting rid, he's their guy after all.
    Hopefully they will go with him.

    Do some people think Mediocre means awful? It means average. We're worse than that as it stands.

    It will be the same script used at Orient.

    Of course it isnt... But have been pretty tired with the match thread tonight with so many using the power of Hindsight to say what the right set of tactics should be.

    So many come out with what Appleton should do, but dont stop and think for one moment that their tactical genius could result in an even worst outcome

    It means below average which is exactly what we are.

    EDIT or so I thought....i thought it meant below average/ poor.

    Luckily for us Cheltenham and Reading are drawing - as that’s the direction we are looking at the moment
    Same thing that’s been said on this forum the last 2-3 seasons and we always end up comfortable.

    Not what we should be happy with but no chance we’re going down.
    Shouldn’t do but another window of Penneys, Killkennys, Abankwahs etc with Dobson and/or CBT moving on and it could be closer than the last few years. Need a big improvement in January over recent windows.

    Didn’t see much of a response today did we. Apples is about as enthusiastic as a coconut.

    first game 1968.  For pretty much 80 odd % of the time since we have been pretty bad.  This last few years has been the lowest by far.  It still pisses me off but I guess I should be used to it by now.

    It’s not possible to be that useless in the last minute consistently. Either they are a bigger waste of space than we originally realised or the players are throwing games on purpose now.

    because nobody can let in that many last minute goals in a row. It redefines shitness to a whole new level

    Bet Curbs wished he’d stayed in Mexico a bit longer, and watched the match on a stream.

    Not sure why Edun was getting dug out in the match thread. Not our worst player today.

    I salute every single one of you that made the effort tonight. Deserve much better than that. Not only have we got a shit manager but this team is woeful... Not average.

    No excuse for that…..free kick in injury time someone stand in front of the ball and stop the kick being taken

    Exactly.  This is an embarrassment.  Total shitshow

    Hardly a ringing endorsement of the management team their second appointment getting binned less than a year taking over.

    Not against changing the manager at all but what’s the point anymore it’s the same old cycle. No one better is going to come in. This board isn’t going to properly invest in players either. Could usually rely on loans or youngsters bailing us out but that’s becoming less and less effective each season. 

    Weakest league one in a decade and we’ve not even tried to take the opportunity to get out of it. We’re weak all over the pitch with no squad depth. Must be the worst fullbacks we’ve ever had on the same team

    Decent analysis from Brown there on that first goal TBF.

    You can't keep blaming individuals. A good manager helps players make better decisions consistently through coaching and knowing their jobs etc.
