Three home matches in a week. A great opportunity for the team to show the fans what they are about. Time to get the home form kickstarted. Pity Jacks fitness is in question, but we're not Lesterfield are we?

Agree 100%. This could be a massive week for our season. If we can win all 3 games
it will give the team a massive boost and hopefully shut the boo boys up for good. It gets a bit
boring listening to their moaning every week.
Jack is definitely out but I still think we will have too much for Wycombe.

It does, but its up to the side not to give them an excuse to moan isnt it

Not much to praise at the minute, we are 1 nil down already.

When will we ever learn.

Just what you do not want to do (concede in the first five minutes) they go and do it.

I thought about going today, but the home form or lack of it is totally unacceptable.

Lose today and Mr Walker can get ready on Radio Sheffield.

3 home matches = a big financial outlay.....

The statement that needs to be made above all is Richardson Out.

Its looking very much that way!!!!

Depressing. The squad is far from complete & we're at the end of August. The players are obviously inhibited playing at home by the negative atmosphere. Sadly I can't see it changing as the fans just don't like Richardson & therefore they are not prepared to give the team a chance. He needs to change this quick otherwise things could spiral further down.

Hes been given enough chances if you ask me.

I'm always reluctant to call for the manager's head but its hard to stay positive when we have such an abysmal home record. Last season was dreadful at home, infact we've been poor for years now, hence the acute lack of patience on the part of the fans. What is frustrating is that the reason for this poor form is mostly mental & Richardson has been unable to overcome it. Perhaps a new broom really is needed.

Or even a new pyschologist

Oh dear! We are in it up to our necks. Struggling to increase our strike force, a clueless manager who will probably be allowed to see his contract out by a clueless Board. Yes the wins over Barnet and Grimsby were papering over the cracks.

No it isn't the 2 away wins were fully deserved,we just cannot do it at home....

Thats okay then if we're to be satisfied with mid-table.

Against a Grimsby team who hadn't scored till today (and only drew with Lincoln, who picked up there first point I believe)

and a Barnet team who got battered by Chester.

We won and played well against two poor teams. Against a very well organised, and managed, Bury team we had no clue - Knill has done a cracking job there.

Another season in L2 looms. Already!

I am not saisfied with our home form far from it,we know the problems and yet again we fail to rectify it...

I know its only the JPT but Grimsby at home will be interesting if nothing more but to compare the performance against our league win at their place

But the atmosphere wasnt negative today in fact i thought the Kop were excellent today,the players are inhibited by the god awful tactics from rico,if you play someone at Rb out of position you give a free header to the oposition in the first five minutes 1-0 down,if you play at home with only one out and out striker who happens to be only 5ft4 and then keep hoisting high balls upto him you get a striker who runs his b***ls off ,get frustrated and is never going to score.Its simply not good enough,ive tried to be positve about Rico and have said should be given till christmas but this is just ridiculous,theres no one on the bench to change things but then i dont think Rico has planB anyway.Rotherham is now a massive game and the pressure is on the players but that pressure hasnt been put on by the fans but by Rico himself.
