Brian from Eldene?

Didn't hear him, must be his disciples.

This was always going to happen after such a turbulent period against some of the better sides (and away from home). We're not playing badly under KM, we just need to remember that it will settle down after a few games.

So I propose those few games are now out of the way. We have an entire week before the next game, if we can get a point or three at Yeovil then we have two very winnable games at home thereafter. That would set us up very well for the April fixtures.

Too many people have given up already. Ridiculous.

I really hope you're right.  I haven't given up, but I feel less than confident and quite pessimistic tonight to be honest.

I am not exactly pessimistic, but I really hope the club aren't in any way complacent abiut the need to bring in a few extra bodies.

KMAC

- Didn't think we deserved it (loss), better side in first half, feel we should have won, made chances to win 3 games
- We got a bit untidy and sloppy. We should have hemmed them in from throw for first.
- Pleased Wes wasn't sent off.
- second was sloppy too, we stopped passing for 10-15 minutes.
- Game went scrappy ......
- Dressing room talk was Wes got hand on ball...will look at it later.
- They got a bit of momentum and crowd behind them
- Went 2-1 and started passing again, went a bit more direct.
- Very disappointing, tough ask for any team to get promotion. we might have to go in the playoffs and meet them again.
- Not damaging we are still 4th, but disappointing
- Its the way football goes sometimes.
- Not given up on automatic promotion...
- Big game against us, but its a big game for them as well.
- Embargo - no news on it being lifted. Got 4 or 5 days to try and get it lifted - its frustrating but we were still the better team today

(apologies if NMH did this, he says he may not bother)

The KMac mumble:
- Didnt deserve that
- Better side first half
- Had enough chances to win 2 or 3 games
- Even when we went down we were the team in the ascendency
- Disappointing to get caught on break as we have spoken about it
- We stopped passing for 10-15 mins
- Scrappy part of game helped them and not us
- Talk in dressing room was that Wes got the ball
- It would be a harsh sending off for any goalkeeper.
- They got momentum after penalty
- Second goal was sloppy too
- Went 2-1 but then started to keep the ball better
- Made some chances but not the tap ins that we seeem to need these days
- Very disappointing to lose to a promotion rival
- If we have to go through in the playoffs we may have to meet them a game
- Its a disappointing loss but not damaging
- Its the way football goes sometimes
- Not ruling out a top 2 finish.
- If we keep making sure that we are the best team in most games then we will win more than we lose and will make top 2
- Yeovil big game for both. KMac thinks he has best team in the league, but conceded that other managers prob think the same
- Nothing to suggest Um'bongo will be lifted
- If it is then we will bring players in. Its frustrating that we dont have numbers to help the team out. But when you play like that what can you say to the team other than bad luck.

(RS said that McCory tweeted that umbongo will be lifted )

I'm not going to jump on his back, and i'm mostly an armchair fan anyway, but some of that looks a bit worrying to me...

Someones muscling in on someone else's territory

[STFCFORLIFE]

This board obviously doesn't have any ambition, the embargo might not be lifted again this week wtf?

My season ticket renewal will be judged on the next 2 weeks.

[joteddyred]

Does anyone actually know why we are still under embargo?  Do we owe money?  The takeover was completed nearly 3 weeks ago, so why are there still unresolved issues?  This concerns me.

Not sure whether I can be bothered to listen to the KMac mumble.

He should do or do not...

[SuggWillSugg MBE]

I thought it was because the football league needed us to stick over a million quid into an account to prove we had the funds.

Which I would imagine the board did yesterday, So would expect we're just waiting for the FL to check their accounts.

We must owe somebody something. Can't believe we are up to wage cap again.. Wonder if its still the unpaid loan money (Coke, whoever)...

[Nomoreheroes]

Yes master Yoda ! :-)

P.S. Its not so much fun as the PDC interviews
