The players don’t believe in the manager , the fans don’t believe in the players and the and the manager doesn’t believe in the fans . It’s a viscous circle that has ended up with us being by far the worst team in the division. What’s gone wrong ? It stems from the managers arrogance and the culture he has cultivated . He persists with inept tactics and formations , baffling everyone except the opposition to whom we are a soft touch every week. There is also a complete lack of strong leaders and players with bottle in that changing room . The fans deserve more and the boos he was given months ago were justified
The problem is - and has been for months - Jimmy's brand of handbrake football. It has stifled the players to such a degree they no longer have the confidence to express themselves - even if the manager had the bottle to set us up offensively and loose the reins. It is his safety first mentality, and tactical ineptitude, which is turning this season into a mockery.

Wimbledon and Walsall games called of so they will go 2 games in hand over us. This puts even more pressure on us to win.

Really doesn't matter what others do any more...there's just not enough time for us to get anywhere near what we need.

Games are running out....still mathematically possible but we need at least three wins and a draw from the last 5. Still only two points from safety but the others have two or three games in hand. Plus Rochdale two points behind with four games in hand.
Looks like we are doomed, along with bury and probably the Dongs too. The last spot is anyone’s.
Look at Fleetwood now...bring a new manager in, 4 wins in a row....mid table on 51 points with still 6 games left. Inspired appointment by their chairman!!

Let's stop clutching at straws, we are deservedly going down, and it's been on the card for weeks...
No rush to get a new manager in, just need to get JFH out now.

Us and Bury are done our games and GD have screwed us.
The other 2 spots could be anyone's but I would love the Dongs and Poxford to come down.

5 games to go. 5 wins.
We have the players who can do this.
My only question..... are they fit enough physically & mentally to take the fight to the opposition?
I hope the mentality has not become so ingrained that they sit back and wait to see what the opposition do......

Was just looking and thinking that we could pull Blackpool in if they lose at the weekend and then we beat them. Same deal with Walsall. Huge ask but at least we have an ounce of hope.

Thats the way to look at it!!
5 wins we know we're safe 4 wins we should be safe 3 wins may be enough......with at least a draw too. 2 wins may be enough as long as we draw the other three 1 win is not enough 0 wins is certainly not enough!!
