We're currently w**k, with possibly the w**kest team we've had for many a year, the defence is w**k, our forwards are w**k, some of our midfield are w**k, our keeper is w**k.

I reckon the game will be w**k, the tactics will be w**k, the scoreline will be w**k, the attendance will be w**k, the atmosphere will be w**k, the microphone guy will be w**k, the service on the concourse will be w**k, the food will be w**k and the mood on here will be utter w**k!!!

It's hard though, ain't it? We're not getting the results at home; footie on the telly tonight; straitened times; Tuesday night game; Crawley bring about 50 with 'em... It's a perfect storm for a shit attendance.

There's no magic fix, sadly.

If there was ever a time to have some kind of £10 ticket offer, tonight would have been it.

Aye, I thought that I seen some sort of deal floating around. Even with the deal few turned up, which is why it's always a risk doing them...

It seems the fans are speaking with their feet

Not good enough rovers from top all the way to the bottom (JR included as well)

Only way to get people back is improve thoughout in a proffesional way, that is something that is not going to happen over night either

Sat watching this with a blinding headache and a 100 mile drive home to come. Not much to get excited about. Nothing to defend at all so can't say defence is any better than Saturday, but awful up front. Next to no threat whatsoever. This can't go on as all we'll have to hope for are 0-0 draws

Crowd last time we played them was 6403, though was on a Sat and in sunny August.

What's scary though is what Dean said after the game:

Quote
"It was a tight and scrappy game and I think they'd have been happy with a draw.

"I thought the worst thing that would happen to us would be that we'd draw 0-0.

"We couldn't string passes together as we have been doing in our other games. A few of the lads looked a bit jaded."
