Last week on the pitch was poor but even worse off it! With what was a shambolic "walkout". It looked like it was not very well thought out, no doubt borne out of frustration in the playground, the actions of a few disgruntled schoolboys.

Colorado had a good idea.....if you can not support the team, then stay away.

COYY

After the final whistle, a few blocked the exit outside the main offices. I would like to see the police move them on, this week should the same occur.

Hoping for an improvement from the players and "fans" on Saturday.

COYY.

Sadly too many players have passed through GJ's hands and been prematurely written off as useless for it to be a coincidence, look at Waters, Umerah and Street as immediate examples.

Instead we continue to play the loanee roulette waiting for the 1 in 20 player whose natural ability shines without the need for coaching.

I would not disagree with your poorly managed remark.
However some players just cannot handle this Big Club expectation and Ash is a perfect example of this.
I have no doubt there is a player there, but as an expected goal scorer for us his season has been a huge disappointment.
No doubt he will move on and come back to haunt us as they do.

I bet Ash, along probably with the new lad announced today, wish they could join the loanees fighting for the exit doors back to their parent club's youth teams.
