... simple cross played in ... guess what...goal! Most playing 3,4,5 touch - amateurs! That's not SM's fault. Some of you really are blind ...

Certainly LOOKs like Maynard is blind, hopefully not deaf too and heard the boos.

LOOK I should have had Jatta on the pitch sooner, LOOK just to Bad mistakes again, LOOK we the management team will get back on the training pitch. LOOK we did have Most of the ball, LOOK i thought Robertson and Slocombe played well, (joke)

Look ! We'll win Monday.
Look, a flying pig !

I've had the "pleasure" of listening to the Swindon commentary. In my opinion, they were laughing at Notts. And they weren't wrong.

And if I heard correctly, one of them called us "Comedy County" Enough said.

Some other club will go bust, and another deducted 30 points, we'll be fine.

If the brothers lose interest after having their project fail to miserably on them, then I wouldn't be surprised if it were us.

Who on earth is going to put up an extra £16+ million, on top of what it would take to buy the club, to service our debts, if they decide they've had enough?

In all seriousness they will see it as a bump in the road, a slightly large one but on the whole things have got better by each season.
That said they’ve got a couple of massive challenges, the squad needs a lot of changes and IF the budget is 10/12th next season then attracting a quality new manger becomes harder too.

They were talking about the club being sustainable next season, fat chance of that now they've messed up really badly. They're as to blame as much as Maynard for this but most of you won't like hearing that.

I've had the feeling since we replaced Ardley with Burchnall that it will end in tears for these owners and they will leave being compared at this level to the dark days of The Trust.

Getting a club this size out of tier 5 at the 4th attempt is hardly something to be grateful for, that was the least anybody could do.
It's at this level we get to see what they actually have to offer.

Tonight we are 16th.

Sutton United finished 8th in their first season after going up from the NL with no previous experience in the EFL and gates of 3k

Would LW of dropped jatta after scoring 3 in 3? I’m not sure about that.
People like you sticking up for this clown that’s going to keep him here.

I’m not sticking up for SM but seriously we do have to be slightly careful with him, he’d missed a lot of football before joining and Friday/Monday maybe a risk but that said without seeing the game, you have to think he should have come on a lot earlier.

But that's not the way it works, is it? How can you hold 15+ contracted players accountable? For 8 pts from 39 games, the buck always stopped with the Head Coach.

I know and it will be SM who goes, but the message from higher up should be you’ve let the manager down, the fans down and us else where do you go with some of these players.

I've had a 'blasting the players post' in my head for a while now, for when the inevitable happened....but I'm going to drop that. As many have remarked, in the main they have tried over the last 13 games, and maintained minimum professional standards. It goes back to a badly misguided appointment in the first place, and a total lack of motivation and inspiration. We just need him gone, and let's start again.
