    Just seen the lineup.

    We’re screwed. No Westbrooke, no Nicholson, no Oztumer = no creativity.

    35 minutes of football, at home in a derby match against one of our relegation rivals, and we’ve mustered one off target attempt so far. Hopeless.

    46 minutes played no shots on target the commentator keeps saying we need to move the ball quicker, I have faster snails in my garden than their speed of moving the ball.

    If JB can get this lot moving I will believe in miracles, we don't seem to know what to do when we get near their box, it would be nice if they had a shot now and then and who knows 1 might go in

    Just listening to the announcement of the teams coming out for the second half and even the announcer sounds bored

    Upson and Daly off Hare and Westbrooke on

    Northampton are 1 up against Oxford so we’re in the relegation zone anyway unless we score as it stands.

    1 - 0 down now will they accept that we are DOWN

    We need to score 2 can't see it happening unless we get an equaliser and they then go home leaving the ball in play

    Laughable. Predictable. Worse than useless. Relegated.

    They are far more likely to score again than we are to equalise.

    And there we are, another shocking performance.

    Barton isn’t the messiah - we’re going down with him at the helm.

    This is completely natural and unsurprising. When you sign League 2 standard players then inevitably your club will find itself in League 2.

    Guess who predicted 0-1 to Swindon? And they predicted 69 minutes for the goal and it was the 71st minute!! <doh>

    I was always ambivalent about Barton rather than a fanboy. I was prepared to ignore his baggage if he turned things around on the pitch - he’s failed to do that, just like his predecessors.

    The problem is the players. They’re ****ing ****.

    Apparently the goal we scored should have counted. Oh well. Wouldn't have mattered if we could score. Yet again we needed to score 2 or more to win.

    I think that's finally it lads and lasses - at least the team have the good grace not to leave us hoping till the last game of the season - we will definitely be relegated long before then! There doesn't seem to be any fight or desire amongst most of the players and the bottom line is that they simply aren't good enough for league 1, and many would struggle in league 2! We need a bloody good clear out in the Summer and start again next season with a new squad that JB can mould. I dont blame him for this season - he can only work with what he's got, and most of them are total crap. They have had long enough to prove they aren't and have failed miserably. Thank God we haven't been paying to go and watch this rubbish every game!

    I think we have now played 18 home league matches this season, we have won 6, drawn 2 and LOST 10! If that isn't relegation form, then I don't know what is. Sunderland and Ipswich will probably have a field day in the next 2 games, but so what! We deserve a good thrashing to confirm to TW what a pile of dross he brought to the club.

    Fair enough I suppose - credit where credit is due! None of us could accept that we were total dogshit, but at least Massive wasn't afraid to base his predictions on that assumption! Award him the title now for the prediction league, and put us out of our misery. (This is something else I can't forgive our players for!).
