    I'm sorry to say this

    I'm sorry to say this but I'm not sure how anyone can defend Barker's record any more. He has played 2 more games than Guy, has won less, got the same number of points, scored less goals and has a worse goal difference.
    Guy played 17, won 5, drawn 5, lost 7, goal difference - 5

    Barker played 19, won 4, drawn 8, lost 7, goal difference - 9 goals conceded

    Barker has brought in about 10 players , most of whom played today yet the fare on the pitch is worse in my opinion. There seem to be about 10 teams who are absolutely carp, we just must make sure we are not in the bottom two. Unfortunately other teams are starting to pick up points, notably Northampton who looked dead and buried a few weeks ago. It's interesting that Coppell at last came out of the woodwork last week and said something after several months here, maybe just to support the under-fire Barker.
    I cannot contemplate going down again, God knows we've sunk far enough already. I think I'll top myself (after wetting the bed).

    Interesting ... I would like to know however how many goals we scored under Guy's stewardship compared with Barker... considerably more I would guess... you can't win games if you don't score and if we are to stay up we HAVE to win some games .
    The "strikers" that he has signed don't exactly have goal laden c.v.s and some of his signings don't even get on the pitch. The club seems to be a graveyard for average footballers at the moment.
    The wage bill must have escalated since his arrival.

    I'm not sure comparisons help anything tbh, inevitable I suppose as Guy was a legend here & bloody nice bloke to boot.
    But however bad we were under Guy, under Barker we've been clueless going forward. Its like everything from in ft of the defence has been suppressed. Its facking awful tbh, sadly unless we get our act together for the 1st time this season I have to admit the conference is a real prospect.

    With Whitts we scored 25 and conceded 30. With Barks (!) scored 11 and conceded 20 in 2 games more.

    Apart from the Chesterfield game we have been dire for ages. If McInnes and co stick with Barker we will be in the Conference next season for sure.

    Maybe ask Warnock if he fancies 8 games at the helm.

    The Chairman walked by me at half-time yesterday and his face said it all. I have seen some poor sides at FP over the years but that one yesterday takes the biscuit. Take out the two academy boys, who look genuine prospects for good careers, (elsewhere no doubt) the rest were anonymous.

    I haven't driven back up the A34 with a heavier heart.

    I thought York's acting antics were a disgrace to the club and the manager. Then a player does get an apparently serious injury which made the rest look a right load of muppets. Congratulations for bringing tedious, cheating Premiership behaviour into League 2 lads.

    And for the old boy in the SS who tried to get at the York player walking round the pitch after the sending off. Calm down mate, but you did brighten my day.

    Let me know next time you go down Corky, I would like to go down at least once this season. Sounds like a bad decision to go yesterday
