    Well it’s over and we have done nothing, nada, zilch, zero, sweet FA, nought.

    It’s beyond ridiculous. Just feel as though we’ve been strung along.
    We have an injury hit team, players such as Ball, out on loan playing elsewhere. Surely that would at least give us another option up front?

    Fortunately no one left but that will doubtless happen in the summer.

    Yes I know we can’t afford the wages but why not be honest about it instead of false hope.

    The way football is going if we are not prepared to invest we will get left behind and find it difficult to compete, even in the league below.

    Don’t get me wrong we have a good team. The problem is that the squad is paper thin and should any more players get injured we are really up against it, with a real tough set of fixtures coming up. It would be a real achievement to stay up now, but I don’t see any evidence to suggest we wouldn’t be treading water again next season.

    If we are in saving money mode, why have a Director of Recruitment?

    It’s all about money now so no investment = no chance.

    Without significant investment we are a league 1 team at best.

    As is often said in business, “ If you stand still you go backwards”.

    Quote - we lost out to a team higher up the league!!! True, one place and four points. That’s where Wigan are. Nothing to do with league position. It’s all about money and they have a lot more of it than us.
    Jason Cummings gone to Luton. Sure they’re having a good season but clearly a number of clubs towards the top end of League 1 have far bigger budgets than us.
    There are/were deals to be had but we have come up short.

    We are what we are and I understand supporters frustrations.
    We are out of the bottom 3 without playing well for a while now consistently.
    All we can do is get behind the team and as millertop said get some noise in the stadium at home.
    We can’t just give in let’s hope for 3 points tomorrow.
