We managed 3 seasons in the Championship under the amateurs that used to run the club.
Makes you proud to be one of the morons.

Didn’t realise it was Cass that spent 11 million turning us into a pub team.
Thanks for pointing that out. The last 8 years must just have been a bad dream.

Agree it is a fairly considered response given the understandable emotion going around.
From what we know of Mr Swann I am sure the last thing he wants to be known as is the man that took us out of the league.
If we make it this season though he s going to have to change something to stop it happening next year. That’s 3 dire seasons in a row we have either been relegated or come uncomfortably close to it.
The winkers are out in force today.

Am having a proper moan about Niel’s tactics but this is totally out of order. Criticise the decisions not the person and certainly not his family. Mother of God!

I understand ups and downs and if I was only looking for good times I would not have stuck with the Iron for 56 years.
Until this season we have never had a team whose primary tactic is to keep the score down.

It is quite difficult uti99 for those that care very deeply for the club to stand by doing nothing while the current shit show plays out.
Going into games against 2 very mediocre teams that have nothing to play for and hoping we might keep the score down to one or two and praying we might manage a shot on target across the 2 games is a desperate situation to be in.
My personal hope is that Southend are an even bigger basket case than we are.
If that situation is OK by you then you are either a member of the family or a fecking idiot or perhaps both.

The ground is worthless except to the football club.
Did not the chairman state (quite a few years ago) that the sale of the land would cover the 18 million build cost of his first proposed new stadium complex.

Ferrite asks a valid question – we can protest about the state of the club but that is rather a statement of the bleeding obvious.
Alcazar and a few others want the rich guy to walk away whatever the consequences.
Personally I would like the chairman to employ a competent football manager, give him a reasonable but not excessive League 2 budget and then let him get on with rebuilding a football team and complete backroom staff from scratch while he gets on with his apartments, racehorses and other businesses.

Don’t always agree with Bucks but he is spot on this time.
Well done Peter you have united Iron fans everywhere.

Cox in 5-4-1 shock.
I bet Newport get more free headers in the box than Loft has touches of the ball.

We will be in despair by 6.45

Hope you are more or less correct Daz.
The most suspect part of your reasoning is us getting a point anywhere at the moment and of course we always get bullied and spanked at Newport even when we have a good side.
One point for us or 1 defeat for Southend and Cods and we don’t really care about the rest.

I saw it but don’t believe it.
Not content with leaving our second best player (Karajan) on the bench he has now tried to rescue the game by taking off our best player.
You couldn’t make it up.

I have never criticised Cox so far given he walked into such a difficult situation.
However, todays line up is capable of at least mid table League 2 football.
We now get battered regularly by teams that are sh1te.
Doing what the Chairman tells you is the only positive quality this management team seem to have.
What a sorry state we are in. Not sure I can be arsed to watch the second half.

Premier league 2 formed by kicking 2 clubs out of the self appointed best league in the world and adding Rangers and Celtic.
A league with 4 teams in it?
Means lots of old firm matches I suppose whilst financially crippling the rest of Scottish football.
Great idea David.

To be fair to the guy what is he suposed to say after the last 3 performances.
More interested in what he does than what he says. No reason to be playing anyone in the departure lounge. It is time to find out what our starting point is for next season.

Probably time to move any comments about the team to Non Football.

When people were calling this our worst ever side I could not agree at the time.
Changed my mind – any team that manages to make Perch look like a footballer is just about as bad as it is possible to be.
I can understand the referee and Mansfield team coming off when the drone appeared but we could have stayed on given we are unable to get within 5 yards of anything in the air.
