Quoted from ginnywings
As bad as i've seen us play since the dark days of Newell. When you are played off the pitch (again) by Morecamb and Rhys Oates is running our defence ragged, you know the writing is on the wall. The fans and the team look as downtrodden as each other. All the life has been sucked out of the club, on and off the pitch, and the malaise is there for all to see. Had Thomas' shot not cannoned back off the bar, it could have been different, but football is all about taking your chances, and we clearly cannot.

Morecambe thoroughly deserved the win and were better than us all over the pitch, and that is very worrying. We look like this season's Chesterfield, and we need to act before we are dragged back into the non league cesspit. Totally and utterly fed up of failure upon failure. Sack Jolley, don't sack Jolley, don't think it will make much difference to be honest. It's clear that the board is the problem.

Collins, Welsh and Woolford need retiring to an old folks home on that showing.


I agree with all of that; I am incredulous how inept our players look, especially those that came with a reasonable reputation.

None of them are fit enough, and Welsh in particular looks like he has never played the pro game. What the hell has happened?

That was painful to watch. Just so many things wrong.

No proper width. So no real service for Thomas.

Constantly giving the ball away cheaply, which resulted in one of goals conceded.

Collins not looking the player he was. Didn't dominate in the air, which was one of his strengths and he looks really vulnerable to players running at him (fully expect opposing teams to focus on that in coming games).

Any confidence the team may have had completely evaporated after Morecambe's first and we looked a shambles. Didn't see any leaders out there when we really needed them.

Really frustrating that we had to wait until late in the game for Pringle to come on a give us width. He looks to have some quality about him and as others have said, he put some real quality balls into the box. If he's not got 90 mins in him yet, I 'd rather see him start and be replaced later in the game as there's little other creativity out there, especially as for some reason, Verman can't get a game.

If we don't get a win in our next two games, something has to give.

A performance devoid of anything positive (bar the goal).  Can’t be bothered to list our failings.

Jolley said before that we find new ways to lose.  We also find the same old ways to concede goals.

In the programme today Jolley said that we have played 8 teams in the top half and only 1 team in the bottom half.  Well, today made no difference did it?

Jolley kept us up last season.  We thank him for that.  We would be in dire straights like Chesterfield probably.

6 defeats and the performances are unacceptable.  I saw no green shoots of improvement today.

Jolley needs to go (now or after the Carlisle game).  That is my view.  I have had enough.

Quoted from Heisenberg
I never wanted it to come to this, but Jolley out, Dave Moore in to steady the ship and see how things go. We have to change something, this is a disaster, and we’re all sick of it.


I would go with that


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Yeah, that'll work. Let's put our physio in charge. As if he'll steady the ship. He even let a player who has sustained a serious knee injury limp halfway round the pitch. Sums this two bob club up to be honest. Let's not get all misty eyed about Dave Moore. FFS, we're in real trouble here and this idea gets loads of support?

The only reason we lost is that the defence is crap-the midfield is crap-the forward line is crap-the manager is crap-the board is crap-even the pies are crap.

Jolley made a big point about this group of senior players he’s been working with to help guide the squad - McKeown, Collins, Woolford and Welsh. Well they’ve absolutely had his pants down and are some of the MAJOR problems in this team.

McKeown - lets the ball bounce in his 6 yard box AGAIN and sees it float in off his far post. Game over.

Collins - if you’ve not got the pace and agility to stop Rhys Oates getting past you over 40 yards, then hang your boots up. How many goals is that conceded in the exact same manner?

These four are supposed to be the leaders in this squad but I’ve seen more life in a tramp’s vest. Not an ounce of enthusiasm amongst them, when it’s all going mammaries up are the likes of Embleton, Cook and Davies going to be inspired when this mob are melting away on the pitch and sloping about with their heads down.

Big earners and happy to be seen as leaders but when it comes to the crunch, too many are missing. That’s the worst part of it all for me.

Lost count how many times this season Collins has been at fault for a goal.

Couldn't agree more.
