Sure most try their best they just aren't very good any more

I have only seen two games. Barrow and Dover. In the Barrow game they certainly tried, they just weren't very good. In the Dover game, it was different. There were a few out there, in my opinion, definitely not putting 100% effort in.

Well I just got back (12:20) I walked out on 75 mins, the M1 was shut between Nottingham and the M42 and all the detours were of so kindly down to 1 lane.

Town look a shell of the side we see in August, we've gone back to passing the buck instead of shooting at goal. The long ball is awful, crosses were poor, sorry CROSSES!

The first goal for them seemed a handball, but our guys bunched together and left a ton of space. 2nd goal again, everyone bunched and we were punished (also noted Jalal was way too far out and gave himself no chance to recover).

We got the pen and put it away but then that shambles for the 3rd, I stuck it out for another 10 mins but we were never going to score 2 let another 3 (or the 4 we really needed).

Someone shouted at MA saying the players didn't care, he responded saying of course they do they're running their socks off. Sadly that doesn't seem enough!

The first was a handball and took what confidence the side had straight away

Their forward was that embarrassed he just rolled the ball towards the net thinking that the whistle would blow for the handball

The linesman on the west stand side must have been wearing bottle rimmed glasses not to spot it

Pre season chat:
D.A. 'I'll give you a massive great bonus if you get us relegated this year. OK, your CV won't look great, but I'll make it worth your while. It will bring my end game quicker.'
M.A 'No problem mate. I might even win the first few, to give the deluded fools the impression that we are trying. '
D.A. 'Fantastic. I'll phone my architect now, and get the new development plans drawn up'
M.A. 'Take care'.

It's happened before. Look at the Springfield Isotopes moving to Albequerqui. We need a genius like Homer Simpson to sort this out.

Every team we play, any marginal bit of pace and we have had it. This went for the division above and the Division above that after Cook.

I am absolutely amazed that he has managed to put such a bad, low tempo and slow side together, judging by the part time sides with a bit of energy who seem to come and play us off the park, just how has he managed it?

There is no doubt that survival this year would be an achievement because I cannot see where the next win or goal from open play will come from at the moment.
