Best budget in living memory. Players who have gone from hero to zero. No system to speak of.

You can see there is something fundamentally wrong in that dressing room and the manager has to take responsibility.

Get Challioner in, even as a caretaker manager to the end of the season. With him promotion is still a possibility.

If he's still here next week at Scunthorpe which I expect him to be.
Then the finances ain't there for a change.

If Landon is rich enough to ask Challionor to name his price, then maybe, but is Landon that Rich?

I’m struggling to see a way out of this mess if the budget has all gone as Clark said we are going to be in a relegation battle and on current form we are Donald ducked

Harris deserved his goal today. He's one of the few channelling his frustration in the right way.

The midfield was shocking apart from the lad on loan. At the back Cam John had an absolute mare after their big No.7 came on. Truth is, Worthing won at a canter.

I stayed for a few choruses of 'You're getting sacked in the morning' and was making my way past the North West Corner when the players came over to applaud them. Most clapped back but the rest shouted dog's abuse at them. It could hardly be worse if Raj was still in charge.

I think most of the abuse shouted at the players was the fans asking the players to pass it on to Clark. Popov looked shocked until he clicked it wasn't him they were targeting.

Thanks for the attempted clarification, but the ones yelling next to my lug holes were definitely directing their abuse at the players. :roll:

The players will have a chance to redeem themselves under a new manager, but several are definitely not good enough to get anywhere near a side challenging for promotion.

Fair do's, from where I was standing most of it was along the lines of "Tell Clark to feck off out of our club" - I was about 1/3 of the was along the terrace.

Fair play to Clarky but he wasent sacked from above.
Will be buckled from his Newcastle wages.

Rewind to the summer him or Cattermole.

The future employment decisions need seriously looking at.

See what the league table looks like in November because now it's beyond belief.
19th
1 point above relegation.

The saving grace is we are only six points off a play off place so, although our position is bad, we haven't got a mountain to climb.....yet.
There are big decisions to be made and we have to get most, if not all, right this time.
Landon must be shocked at what has happened and he must feel severely let down.
Now he has to stand up and root out the bullshitters.
We are really going to find out his mettle now.
I just hope he doesn't say bollocks to this lark and look to offload the club

Will Bromby and Partners admit they made a big mistake? .If not Smith should get shot of both them and Clark.
Considering we have not played many of the stronger teams, the future looks terrible. We are definitely in a relegation battle with players who don't look up for the fight!

We need a strong, experienced manager and an experienced leader on the pitch plus four or five experienced players who can actually make a difference, not simply go through the motions as several players did today. Hopefully there will be a budget made available otherwise we are fooked.

Just wondering if players were going through the motions because Clark has lost their respect? They weren't prepared to play for him but had to be on the pitch so were going through the motions? No proof, just a thought.

the players actually as a team put some effort in at the start of the game for 15 minutes and that spell where they were looking for an equaliser until they scored the third. its just for short periods of the game though and for some reasons cannot keep it up.
