    Yes it's knee jerk but...

    I can't help but fee we have bottled what should be automatic promotion-and the reason?..........lack of experience !

    We have absolutely nothing that can come off the bench and make an impact and today and to a degree Sunderland and Coventry games

    We have basically given Sunderland a shot in the arm to push on and get second spot when we had it firmly in our grasp

    The penny pinching has cost us dearly me thinks. Had we not sold Potts and recruited more aggressively (i.e. Signing marquis and retaining Moncur in January) and making a bold statement to the rest of the division , I think we would have been home and hosed

    Hey ho but I feel the playoffs is nailed on

    The clubs obsession past and present for money is shameful .

    Not only did it prevent us from establishing ourselves in the championship it also drove us to relegation .

    We then appoint a fine HC and proceed to pull the rug from under his feet too with the league or automatic promotion extremely achievable .

    Make no doubt it about the January window has killed us once again , no hard luck story here we get what we deserve .

    The fans don't deserve it mind , stuck by the club despite getting shafted big time by the ownerships .

    This plan is flawed for the fans , the club is nothing without the fans .

    Apologies if it seems negative as we've been unbeaten in 20 games previous. It just seemed today like the fight had gone. It's very frustrating when everything (and by this I include everything to do with the club commercially as well) just always seems to be done on the cheap

    I genuinely fee that we have a HC in stende who will go on to good things but why the chuff don't we back him ? Everyone has their breaking point and his will be when a more more ambitious club comes knocking.

    It baffles me that in recent year Nice have had ballotelli and Schneider on their books which I imagine wasn't cheap in terms of wages yet here we are constantly scrapping around in the bargain basement

    We've had Joe Ledley training with us recently and surely his quality in training shone through - why the chuff didn't we sign him when we're crying out for experience

    You don't get anywhere in this game without a certain amount of speculation renno .

    The backing of Head Coaches when you are in a good position is what you do .

    Hecky was let down in 2017 and Stendel is suffering the same fate .

    They would sooner sell the assets than try and push on to another level .

    It's absurd .

    The cryne dynasty appealed to chein and the gang and they are carrying on the same, even if we do go up we'll come straight back down AGAIN our players we have with any quality or coming to the end of their contracts WILL be sold and replaced with young uns nothing will change I feel sorry for the loyal fans supporting them home and away wish owners would do the same

    A bit knee jerk maybe Renno... but I reckon most of us are feeling that and this seriously feels like a smack in the face tonight.

    Not only have we totally blown the chance of winning the League title, we've surely now blown our best chance of automatic promotion as well.

    The automatic promotion spot well within our grasp less than a month ago has gone imo. The January window was laughable. Ittull bite us reight on our arses.

    The team had a great xmas period , a win at Blackpool followed by 7 points out of 9 against serious promotion contenders Peterborough , Charlton and Luton Town .

    Having dragged ourselves back in to the reckoning after dropping to 7th following the defeat at Wycombe the smart move was to put some bells and whistles on this squad and give us the best possible chance to get promoted automatically .

    We all know what followed .

    The fans or at least those of us who don't have our noses stuck up the clubs @rse could see we were short up top and riding our luck .

    Potts was a huge loss to this team , Moncur although not as effective would have helped the squad when needed , Isgrove not too bothered in all honesty other than he shouldn't have gone to Pompey .

    Quite how the fuq Jordan Green and a kid from Boro who can't even play for us was supposed to help Stendel is anybody's guess .

    You are fecking supposed to close the deal out , get promoted and buy footballers who will do that for you in January and not purchase projects that may come to fruition 2 years down the road .

    What the fecking hell is wrong with this club ?

    How many complete and utter fuq ups of seasons does it take before you change tact you morons .

    Bin this fecking w@nk policy now or even better sell the club and fuq off back to New York .
