Here we go again, just WHO is at fault ?. Could probably make a good case for any of them (other than the fans). Wellens will probably be going home head in hands wondering what he has let himself in for. Nothing we can do now, he's in, just have to stick with what we've got. To be fair PB DID know what we had, and couldn't make it work, Wellens has yet to discover those delights, he did the sensible thing today, started with 10 same players that won last week, did not try to change everything first game. Think he was dammed if he did, and dammed if he didn't. Dont blame him for todays performance, he has to be given a chance, but should performances like this continue is it the players attitudes, management inadequacy, or owners inability to select an adequate manage that is the problem ?. This January's transfer window cannot come soon enough, but then again, who can we afford, and who would want to come here ?. The future is certainly not rosey, players need to start performing, otherwise we are staring the Conference straight in the face.

I don't think you can expect too much from the window.... Power will be hoping that with only 2 down we'll limp over the line. Macc do look terminal already, so we're in effect playing for one slot with 5 or 6 others. There is really nothing to suggest that Power/Wellens/Hunt have what it takes to turn this around, other than a bit of luck on somebody being worse.

Who do we blame. The realities of self sustainability, a disconnected fanbase and dodgy and late player recruitment, and a bit of bad luck in the manager market.
other than that it's great

Lee Power pure and simple.
Next month his 5 years is up- and we sit in our worst league position in our history.
We have gone from the league one play off final in May 2015 to this- it really is terminal decline.
He prefers to hide behind managers- but his transfer policy is a total joke and I blame him entirely for our position.
Problem is he is answerable to no one- and most of our fan base unbelievably prefer to sing his praises

More worrying are those who think him getting to own the CG is a good idea....

Horseshit. The fan base is roughly split between those who think he should go, and those who argue that without an alternative there's no choice but to lump it i.e. grudging acceptance. Never heard anyone "signing his praises", much less "most of our fan base".

Power. The town end suggested that today too.
The players could help with actually giving a toss, don't think I've seen a worse Town side. Good on yer Lee.

I still think that Power's been unlucky in many respects. I also think he's been shit in many respects. If he weren't so shit, the bad luck would probably have had less of an impact.

There are however plenty on here, who are prepared to accept what Power says.... rather than look at the evidence of what he actually does and how it impacts the club. Our current woes are down to nobody else but Power. The only question for this season is can we stay up in Div 4.... we're now into uncharted territory.

Its like watching the whirlpool when I've pulled the bath plug. We are being sucked down,who's going to want to sign for us in Jan. we could be on our third manager by then and have spunked our whole playing budget on mangers payoffs.

I have be told that three players we missed out on financially was due to as little as £25 per week.....also that Wellens actually wached PB’s last three games.

So at least 3 players have said "If you don't give me 100 quid a month more, I'm signing for another team"?
