It’s going to take some comeback

9 points and a significantly worse goal difference is almost insurmountable in any circumstances.

Closing that gap with this squad is simply not achievable.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I said 10% chance a couple of days ago.

It's a 1% chance now. Any semblance of fight or belief has gone.

We've just gone 135mins without a shot on target against two relegation sides.

[StocksArmy]

4 new players just wont be enough.

[River Don]

This season is done with now.

It's not going to happen unfortunately. Focus now needs to be on clearing out the dead wood (of which we have lots) and recruiting for League Two. Pains me to say it, but the club stinks from top to bottom at the moment. Better days ahead hopefully!

Time for pragmatism, get planning for league 2 now

[normal rules]

10 points adrift, if you count gd as a point.
I’m utterly disgusted in how a group of so called players can put in such lacklustre performances week after week after week.
I honestly don’t know how they look at themselves in the mirror after that today.

My football loving heart is warmed today though by Barrow, Borehamwood, Cambridge and Kiddy.

[DonnyNoel]

I think, and many others probably will, we need the signings to start coming in quickly this week. We can't hope to go on the required winning run whilst looking as toothless as we do. I genuinely thought todays line up looked a lot stronger than in previous weeks but the result and performance really highlights how f**ked up against it we are.

[Copps is Magic]

4 new players just wont be enough.

That was clear at the beginning of the season. Even when we just had Taylor and Fej out, we were still rubbish then.

It's sad to say but the players have zero confidence. The board have appointed a rookie manager in GM who has had no impact on the team in a key key period.

[ChrisBx]

Time for pragmatism, get planning for league 2 now

When did the club last evidence any ability or willingness to plan for anything when it comes to the football side of the business?

[normal rules]

I would forget any expensive loan signings in this window. Don’t waste money. Plan for lge two. Pointless having loan signings till season end, only to try to rebuild again in the close season.

[redarmi66]

Ive got say i think we are down. Looking at that performance today against another poor team and of course last weeks collapse i just can't see where the next win will come from. The next run of fixtures is tough. Even if we get some bodies in or back i think it will be too late. Hope im wrong. This is the worst team since we dropped into the conference. Sad times #RTID

we were better in the conference than this

[Copps is Magic]

The lack of urgency (and ambition) in appointing the new manager and lack of urgency to get new bodies in have also desperately hurt us. I know it's literally days, but you should be planning for every f**king second in our situation. A failure on the board's part to influence our position IMO (and we can't hear the covid excuse after our relegation rivals singed a striker who scored today!).

They've got an opportunity to use this window to start building for league two next year. Will they use it? I'd start with stop fannying around and appoint a proper f**king manager.

[Retdon1]

Worst side we’ve had in last 15-20 years. Absolutely disgraceful performance today. Not one of them showed any fight. Pointless wasting money on new signings

[RoversAlias]

This is the worst I've seen us play, and that includes four years of going in the Conference - granted I didn't actually know any better at that point.

But I'm pretty sure that our team from 2001 could beat this lot. There's no fight, no bottle, no confidence, no desire, no ability, no intelligence and just...nothing. It is very difficult to even watch the games as a fan, and the mood of Cameron John on iFollow comms said a lot about how they're all feeling day-to-day too.

I don't think the manager can fix it, and I doubt a few signings would save us now.

And that's where we are heading again with these clowns in charge!!

Don’t be silly

[Donnybax]

It’s an impossible task now. Is there now any point in bringing some in for the short term? Or would be better off bringing players in for league 2?

[ian1980]

As others have said, we might as well start building for league 2 now, this season is done. No point chucking money to try and survive, too little, too late.

The problem now is I can’t see the attendances being great from now till the end of the season (other than teams with good away followings) as the apathy across the club is definitely spreading to the fan base now. Getting those fans back through the gates won’t be easy.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Unless our signings are for the long term it’s almost pointless wasting money on them now. This is why there’s so much frustration it’s taking so long

[Chris Black come back]

Whatever the reason, bad luck or bad judgement, this is an absolutely appalling side playing dreadful football. As a spectacle, it is beyond risible.

[Prez]

Agree with the above. No point wasting money now on short term loans. Not a chance in hell we will stay up. Save it for the summer.

[Lesonthewest]

Disgraceful performance today, what's worrying is the absolute total lack of urgency & desire. We are so easy to play against, & second to almost everything. Aswell as the players, the manager has to shoulder some of the blame for that.

[Arsenal Of The North]

That result today has all but mathematically confirmed our relegation, I wouldn’t waste money bringing players in for this season now, all planning should start from tomorrow for a league 2 campaign and focus on the waste of space players we need out this club

[colincramb]

Clear out the deadwood? With the exception of Rowe, I’d sack the lot of them. If my performance level was as consistently bad as this shower of shit I’d have lost my job a long time ago.

They don’t give a toss. It’s totally and utterly unacceptable. I hope so of them never get a contract again at any club. They are an embarrassment to their profession.

Dont think i am actually. We are as awful as anything ive seen in the last 25 years. When we came out of the conference we didnt always have talent but we had an energy,workrate,identity, passion and fight. This team has none of that.

[scunny rover]

Yeah thats it I'm afraid ,a win last week and a win today thought we still had a chance but not now .
And todays performance  just don't know what to say ,every player should look at there selfs and be ashamed.thats me for tonight so pissed off.

[Rovers91]

We are f**ked, at least last time we went down we had Ferguson who was capable of building a squad and attracting good players as much as he should have done better on the pitch. I dont see anyone at the club that is capable of building a strong squad for next season.
