1 win in 11 guys. Deja vu...
Appreciate this poll may be rash but I feel humiliated today.
I'm Bonner in for now. But patience is very very thin. Happy for him to have the January window again, but my worry is that last season we had subpar players trying their hardest. This season we have good / better players not playing near their best. A shake up may be needed.
My heart hopes not, wishes not. But I'm certainly entertaining the idea of a change.

I will tell you what. Liam Bennett needs to go out on loan and learn to defend. He, along with May, Morrison and Stevens were awful today.

If Burton sacked their manager would we as outsiders think that's a smart idea? Or if Cheltenham were in our position?
Fair enough to ask the question but it's certainly not the time it should (or will) happen. Especially as the three league games before this one were of an acceptable standard.
8 points from 11 (if you're going to arbitrarily pick a number of games) isn't good enough, but doesn't sound quite as bad.
For clarity, as I was last year I'm between the two relegation options as the manner of relegation would matter, but I've gone with the higher one this time as I think after two years at this level we have a better chance of establishing than we did last season.

Was at fault for the 1st and 5th goals. I would put him at RW with Jubril behind him and switch Brophy back to the left. If there were any scouts there today we won’t be getting any money any time soon.

Nah, we've had a few bad days this season. We've had some good ones. We've had some ordinary ones.
Thats what it's going to look like to consolidate ourselves as a league 1 club. It's frustrating we're not developing and growing as fast as we'd like but it's important to recognise that we *are* growing despite some of our obvious weaknesses.

If there were any scouts there today we won’t be getting any money any time soon. This should have happened at HT but Bonner did nothing. I think that both Lennett & Brophy are natural wing backs but whilst he persists with his 4231 it doesn’t bring out the best of them IMO

Andrew I understand your opinion Andrew and we are undoubtedly developing off the pitch in so many areas. Not sure if you went to the game today but when you pay money to follow home & away, performances like today are unacceptable. The football on show has been stale for about 18 months now bar the end of last season when we scraped over the line. I admire and like MB as a person but eventually something has to give. Either he has to adapt and become more positive or we stumble along as we are. I hoped after last season this would in terms of enjoyment would be different. Instead I fear another winter of discontent. I hoped that Betsy’s appointment may have made a difference but it’s the same formation & tactics. I will get over today, will be there at Northampton in a fortnight and just ask that MB and the players show a positive reaction.
