    That's great. I went to your ground 3/4 years ago when we won and half of the ground was empty. Where were the mighty owls then? Less than 20k I seem to remember. Absolutely embarrassing. 
    Pies were good though 👍

    Marvin Johnson, the cheat who dived to get a fellow pro sent off. Remember that face. Hopefully karma will pay him a visit.

    My view is we need to stick with PW for the long term, even if we miss out next year.  Chopping and changing got us in this mess and we’re still in the process of a complete rebuild.
    My expectation at the start of the season was 7 - 10th but I didn’t expect to be this close to the play offs.  Partly because not many teams, regardless of how big, go straight back up and lots of examples have been given.  I also thought we were in a similar position to the last time we were at this level, arguably worse.  In both cases we’ve needed a completely new squad, and that takes time to gel.
    Both LR and PW did a good job.  LR to get players to come, particularly late in the window and the financial restrictions.  We can bemoan the lack of a right back, quality of striker but he probably thought he had Nathan Byrne (who would have been a good RWB) and quality strikers for free are very rare.  PW did well to get them as close as he did, given the age profile and size of the squad.  I think the blip in Feb/Mar would have happened if it was LR, PW or, heaven forbid, any of us as manager.  Other teams were able to spend in Jan, we couldn’t and free’s them are free for a reason.  I think someone said Sheff Wed used 14 more players, like it or not that makes a difference.
    And it’s not just about the first team.  We’ve had to rebuild behind the scenes, e.g. head of recruitment, and that will continue, particularly the academy.  Lets be patient, give PW the time he needs to build for the long term.

    The players at his disposal have shown over a season that they aren’t good enough to gain promotion. 
    If we recruit well in the summer then we’ll be a serious contender next season.

    Never mind lads. You still have a team to support. That was always the goal right?
    Who cares what league it’s in the third tier again..

    If the players only get fired up by a random person on a internet forum then they aren't a professional. I'd be incredibly surprised if any player or football staff have seen any posts on here all season. The ticket office assistant who's on zero hours as a regular fan might.
    You vastly overestimate any influence you think you have. You're just like the next person on the terraces.
    It's bitterly disappointing but nothing you have or haven't done this season, has any influence on the results.

    Are you OK? Are you struggling to understand things? Do you need us to get anyone for you or do you have a special cord that you can pull?

    Swindon have kicked Jody Morris out. Shame, but he only managed 4 wins since January.

    Hate all the hype about the “Celebrity owners” and how much they’ve done Not  a fair playing field for other teams  What about the documentary series they’ve made and sold to Disney I’m sure they’ve made any money they’ve put in and more besides on that project alone

    It was shocking, wasn't it? There were families near us literally having picnics whilst the game was on! 
    Just a day out to them.
    Should make it match-going fans only, play it at a proper ground and have done with all this football tourism! ⚽️

    Wrexham have just become champions in the National League(Non League Football) and congratulations to them but because they have 2 famous Hollywood actors as there owners the media go way over the top you would have thought they had won the Champions League. Even Burnley's promotion to The Premier League never got this type of reaction.

    He'll study them carefully, look at strengths and weaknesses, then craft his tactical plan.
    I'm thinking it'll go something like.....
    ...run around....
    ...run a bit harder...
    ...gas out....
    ..then subs on to run around a bit more...

    Over the years I have seen some shocking stuff written on here. Conceited, condescending, biased, self deluding claptrap. But never, ever anything quite as bad as this thread - get a grip on yourselves. You are playing in a local derby (yes it is one) against a tiny team 12.7 miles down the road, who over the last 2 decades have massively punched ahead of their weight. Please try to find some humility and modesty as human beings.
