One of the best I read was someone saying the club are dividing the fans....this from someone who has tried everything to divide the fans and still is!!!!

Joe, do you remember when Colin Cooper was manager and Hignett the coach? My recollection is that everyone considered Hignett to be the "power behind the throne" and that the start of the decline was when he went off to Middlesbrough

Yep, and remember the team he put together only only to have it broken up in the Coxall fire sale two seasons ago.

Never mind, all will be well when Borosxit is delivered and all these devious Smoggies are sent back south of the Tees where they belong.

I've got to agree with PJ Poolie. At least we still have a club. We all want things to be better. That said, they have had season ticket money from me and I've paid for the hospitality in the Maidens Suite a couple of times. I consider I've done my bit. I'm probably lucky living hundreds of miles away that I don't get to many home matches, especially with the latest downturn. That said, I need to decide whether to book a couple of hundreds more pounds worth of train fares to come again before the end of the season along with committing to a 16 hour day trip to see awful football. I have that option closer to home. Again, we're limping towards the end of the season and just like last year there is not much sign of a turn around. I hope that Money can put together a consistent run of even winning 2 games in a row. That will be a first sign. See you at the end of the month - cos we're all mugs

Good times in relation to what had went before , but we still managed to win nowt, though the 2 promotions were nice. Largely though I agree with you , looking back it appears we were punching above our weight from around the late 70s onwards.

I know an awful lot of new recruits to the terraces with the arrival of IOR. As they’d known nothing but this ‘success, the decline must have came very hard, but to those of us who’d been in it for the long haul, it was just back to normal. Sad, but no shock, you just got on with it. Even now, the club as an entity is light years ahead of the club I loved and supported for most of my life.

After watching that, I've deliberately stayed clear of social media and forums until now, for my own health.

Got to say, after all the talk last week of abusive fans and negative atmosphere, the crowd did their very best to encourage players. You could sense people biting their tongues and applauding even the shite-est of pointless runs, simply because someone had at least tried. Impossible to find positives really. I suppose James and Hawkes were at least committed and Kioso deserves a starting place, in case there was any doubt before that. Hapless otherwise.

How we didn't stop that first goal I'll never know. The keeper and at least one defender could have thrown themselves at it to stop the shot. It was like time standing still as everyone just watched it. Second goal looked equally as shambolic at the other end.

It's normally possible to say, the manager should do this or that. To be honest, I haven't got a clue what to suggest when confidence is shot. Muir... what happened to the player that scored that cheeky goal against Sunderland pre-season, the guy whose control and movement looked a cut above. Absolute shell of his former self.

Donaldson had a swing at one of the Telford players. That was the highlight for me.

There was no discernible defence, the midfield ambled around perfecting their 1980 style triangular passing, the front line was non existent. The ball was hoofed up pointlessly and we never won a ball. It only livened up in the last 5 minutes when the penny belatedly dropped and we finally kept it down on the ground.
Lightweight and uncompetitive, playing football unsuited to this division.
