I had a freebie Matt, daughter couldn’t go.
Other wise I’d have stayed at home.

Yup,I had the misfortune of staying till the final whistle too,sadly the beer in the Premier Inn is more suitable for washing your feet in than drinking so couldn't even drown my sorrows. At least there were no sharp objects in the bathroom!

I honestly can not see where our next win is coming from. We have 10 teams all considerably better than us.

Maybe Wakey away, but apart from that - none.

    Trawling through the fixtures searching for our next potential victory wasn't where I'd hoped to be halfway through the season,the Wakey game is already looking crucial and unless we have a dramatic upturn in form we'll be reliant on other teams underperforming against us. Even then I couldn't see us beating any of the top 6,so we're looking at scraping wins against the likes of FC or the Giants. I've even looked at the fixtures in and around the challenge cup,hoping we get a fixture against a team potentially resting players,now that's desperate but in reality it's where we're at and suddenly that for point cushion is looking worryingly slender.

      I am resigned to rebuilding in the championship, if not next season it will be the season after, the job is too big for Andy Last, no matter what his ambitions and aspirations are. I actually feel a bit sorry for him.

      Michael Carter seemed to surrender Wakey to relegation in his pre match interview and pointed to the assets they will hold and the commercial value of them, we are way behind Wakey on that front and if that Axiom planning doesnt get passed next month we will become a Widnes or a Bradford, scraping an existence in the championship and that is the scary truth that our directiors need to wake up to.

      The hard core supporters will still follow Cas but the younger end will just move on to other things and who can blame them. Without their support the club will just wither away

      Very troubling times darnt lane

      Im off for a ride on the Bonnie to clear my head

      I echo sadly a good proportion of what has been typed, it is easy to take comfort from Wakey, they will be playing now pressure free.

      2 wins isn't a lot!

      The optimist in me can only assume that Last has undertaken some form of transitional period in which he is attempting to make changes to the way our aging squad play whilst also looking to future potential signings. This may have been his selling point during the interview process?

      Tony Smith will be doing something similar at Hull and has so far encountered a similar, if not quite as disastrous, outcome.

      Whatever the reason, time is running out on finding a successful outcome.

        Growing up on Duke st, “guarding” cars for a tanner so we could get into the games, clearing snow and straw for a free game ticket, selling programmes etc I too have no choice and will continue the support albeit from a distance and getting to fewer games than i should.
        Its the younger end that i fear will drift away from the club.
        The club feels more detached from the community than ever these days and thats a shame because there is nothing else holding the town together.

        Hopefully things are moving on behind the scenes and I am just being a maudling old git

        Don’t know a great deal…..but, I’ve heard there could be a meeting this week with Ian Fulton and others.
        Not 100% on what it’s about, but let’s hope it’s true and fingers crossed.

          Hopefully it’s about releasing more money to the club in order to buy us out of this mess we’ve found ourselves in. Attendances will continue to fall if things don’t improve soon and there’s not a lot of good news on the horizon. Could do with either some movement on the stadium front and (or) a few new signings.

            I would just love us to set out a plan, a proper one not based on what other people promise.
            A direction to repay directors loans at 10% a year - even if that means it would take 15 years for the club to be stand-alone - I could value that.
            Based on that, be clear how much money we have to protect for improvements to the ground - again, most people would be supportive of a 5 year ticket - if they knew why and we were self sufficient.
            Be clear if we ARE ring fencing investment in growing our own and if we are, set a target - 70% first team squad academy products by 2030 for example.

            I am just saying “stuff” of course, but buck the trend, trust the people who pay the money and turn up to buy in to what you are trying to do because this closeted tofu like statements that say nothing but generic rubbish are not working. Buck the trend and say something for people to believe in. I trust the supporters to buy in to something bigger than this season. I just don’t feel like we have any cohesive vision, we seem to flip and flop about doing nothing well!
