This is where it always ends, you give it but can't take it.

BTW, I'll give you another 10 ways of resolving Steve sending that money when he shouldn't have, but you won't accept any of them, because you didn't think of any of them at the time.

Over and out.

Really struggled with which thread to use for this.

There is so much opinion about our current run and inevitably most of it is negative towards BG.

I have to ask the fundamental question, how is this manager progressive?

I think the answer came to me after watching yesterday's game, he might be as a coach but we are not seeing it on the pitch, our players are not responding to him.

This is when you have to review the initial decision to appoint him.

He changed the style and formation of a winning team which in itself is criminal. This indicates to me that he has either been told or believes these games are all freebies because we were 4th.

He has been in charge for 16 games and we have won 1. I doubt even Lee Johnson would be given that time. Regardless of the circumstances of the unfortunate family illness, or the transfer players needing time to bed in, the results and crucially performances have not been good enough.

I walked away from the Blackpool game feeling that we were lucky to win, that's because we were.

I don't buy the fixture congestion excuse now as they have just completed 3 Saturday only weeks, no midweek match, plenty of time for a manager to get his point across.

He changed a winning team. The wingers were too lightweight yesterday, Daly looked ok when he came on, at least he tried.

JCH was horrendous, but had no service. The football was awful, the conditions FOR BOTH TEAMS meant we had to keep it on the floor, we kept trying to hit long high balls in the wind, ridiculous.

We didn't try to get in behind them, make their defenders work, created very few chances.

4 shots at home. 13 for ST, they weren't that good.

Stop blaming the ref, that performance yesterday was about how we bounced back from the Sunderland game and there was the answer.

Shrewsbury must have been laughing as their fans did with the chant 'You're so s***, we're winning away'.

I'm all for giving people a chance but there was NO excuse yesterday. Any injuries we have do not detract from the fect that that starting 11 was good enough to win that game. When I hear people talking about who to take off 20 minutes in it drives me mad, the 11 should take responsibility for winning the football match. Whoever was on the bench wasn't good enough to start this week so why would they do any better?

It's time for BG to go, he is not going to improve. Please quote this at me when he wins promotion next season with us with expansive free flowing exciting football. I was enjoying this season even with the so-called boring GC football, winning is not boring. 4-2 v Southend was brilliant. I always said be careful what you wish for. Now we have it.

I didn't get that at all. Many thought we actually needed to avoid promotion!

Placed fourth, I didn't believe we would sustain a promotion challenge. But to get beat most weeks in the second division, did not worry me, as long as we didn't overspend to try staying up. If you didn't overspend, would it not be beneficial to go up and come back down again?

To yo-yo between the second and third divisions? I'd be right up for that, personally. If we went on to keep repeating it, then one day we might grow into the second division. It certainly might be fun finding out.

Are you happy that our owner, previous chairman sanctioned, and the manager wanted and signed 3 players which had a combined wage total of 10k a week, who were either not in the starting 11 or sat on the bench (at the time) of a national league club when we were bereft of players and couldn’t sign anyone because we were up to the stops on SCMP? And these players were not good enough for those kind of wages to begin with!

And loads were moaning why we cant sign players and why aren’t the owners putting more money in etc?

Because of the vast DC love in, many couldn’t accept that not only had he lost the plot and the football was awful (22nd in L1 should have been a giveaway) but that he had wasted probably the best budget any manager had been given to build a side since the last time we were promoted to L1 when Trollope wasted the same sort of cash on players like sicknote Blizzard.

That’s not an agenda. That’s just obvious. Recruitment before TW came in when we got to L1 fell off a cliff and we had nowhere to go when it went wrong.
That had to be addressed.

Do you accept that GC saved our arse (I actually liked him as a gaffer and enjoyed the results if not the football) and together with TW the signings he made both in the Jan window and the summer were excellent value?

Whatever JCH is on I would say it’s been a marvellous investment seeing his goals prevented us being relegated last year? He’s gotten more goals in 1 game than Nichols managed in a whole season.

So whats my agenda....?

Yeah 1-1.

Holloway’s first game back after Gerry Francis paid Brentford 10 grand out of his own pocket to bring him home.

You are making the whole of the country sound rather unpleasant.

Bristol is pretty bad, in Bristol at one of my businesses I've been maced, attacked with a machete during a robbery, had a ram raid, been stabbed and more petty theft than I can remember, but Bournemouth is worse.

Sorry if my real life experience top trumps your anecdotal opinion supported by a superficial knowledge of Bournemouth, which, to help you, I'll repeat, is roughly 13 miles from Wareham..

Where to start with that.

Bournemouth is indeed a dump, with a huge homelessness and drug problem totally disproportionate to the size of the population.

But it's Monaco compared to Leicester, that has become a truly horrible place in recent years.

Those clubs I listed have achieved their success due to various circumstances, Swansea's stadium is a big help to them, Bournemouth having a Russian who disregards FFP and get's a fine that's tiny compared to what the club gained by buying their way in to the PL has obviously helped them along.
