Wouldn’t necessarily disagree with any of that although i still feel that a purchase of a quality (young) striker was more of a priority than signing CBT and should have been dealt with first. 

Credit where it’s due- I thought PW’s interview today was good. Told it as it was. Still feel the Club overall perhaps didn’t get everything right re the striker issue but, hey, I don’t know all the ins and outs and it’s always easy to criticize after the event or from the bleechers….
So, we move on …….

Can’t stand these kind of responses.
If the club were open and transparent instead of getting fans hopes up, the reactions would be a lot more understanding.
 
Why go around telling the media there are pots to spend to strengthen and then fail to do so? 

The club have thoroughly let the fans down this January. 

I really don’t want to hear the same old crap about how we missed out if I am honest.
I think it would help if Clowes and Pearce ( along with PW) came out and did a proper Q&A on this whole situation. I still believe the Club haven’t helped themselves here, what with mixed messages/poor comms to the supporters about our ability to strengthen this window and how they’ve gone about the window as a whole. Too much time and effort once again wasted on Weds players…
We all know the financial controls from the EFL, that Clowes will only let us get in players using revenue and that he won’t be putting any extra money into that side of things (and that’s fine).
But you can’t help feeling that we could have managed this window better. My own view is that a quality striker was a bigger priority than getting in CBT….
Time will tell of course but at this point I think it’s just a question of staying in the top 6 if we can.
One thing is certain- if Collins gets injured over the next two months it will be highly embarrassing when looking at our forward line. There’s no chance that Waggy or Wash will be fully match fit before two months…if at all this season.
Always a chance that we pick up some free agent later of course, but ….🤷

Portsmouth really strengthened this window …. Really going for it…. Fancied us for Moxon….
I honestly thought before that the autos were beyond us anyway…. But now I feel that it could all end up like last season. It’s the hope that kills…

No, the modern way is trying to cancel someone from freely expressing their view…

Ennis another sick note in truth if you look at his playing/injury record fairly recently…. Would have fitted right in .
Not too disappointed that it hasn’t come to fruition but we are certainly looking at the scraps that are left around now…. All-in-all a bit of a shambles…

Warne-torn 🤷‍♂️

Was the scout from Oxford meant to have done wondrous things on a low budget hence the reason we got him?
shouldn’t he be unearthing diamonds from non league ala Phil Gee and get us out of the dog forsaken wasteland of a league 😭

From the Sky highlights here's what people are talking about, the Cheltenham number 6 back-heading the ball off our goal line with 30 seconds to go after Vickers deliberately lowered his arms to leave the ball and let it drift over his head. Miss of the season. Very bad goalkeeping right at the moment we needed Vickers to be strongest. As mad as Wildsmith's rush of blood penalty against Oxford. I guess we have two League One keepers, though I feel Wildsmith exudes more confidence, which rubs off on me and the defence.

Did you see where he was for Cheltenham’s last gasp free kick? He was caught in no man’s land and they could have, should have scored….

Another absolutely rancid display by a team that deserved all the booing they got at half time. You’d they’d want to show a reaction after Reading, but they just carried on where they left off.
Tactics all wrong by Warne as well, he has to stop with this two in midfield s*** - it’s no coincidence our bad performances have started since we switched to 4-4-2. Absolutely awful system that has no place in the modern game. Totally overrun yet again.
Fed up of our only tactic being launch it to the wings and whip it in - it’s so one dimensional. When we actually use the midfield and try to play a bit of football through the thirds, then we look so much better! Why can our dinosaur of a manager not see this…
Im beginning to really dislike this team itself, as well as the fraud in the dug out. At least the team that went down had some character. This lot couldn’t give a f***. And as for captain Hourihane… words can’t describe my feelings towards his “leadership”.
We were so lucky to win that game today, it’s only a moment of individual quality from Max Bird that turned it around. It’s time this manager and this team got a f****** grip. Performances this week have been truly pathetic, were meant to be the best team in the league!

It is difficult to be that positive despite the league position. The run of form has been brilliant but it feels like it’s built on sand. 
 
There’s the saying ‘title winners know how to win when things aren’t going their way’. This is fine if it’s the minority of games where this is happening but it feels far more often than not that we win in spite of our performances. 
 
What changes? What can change? We’re pretty much staying as is until summer. 

We only have one way of playing- everyone knows it. Hence all you have to do is stop us giving the ball out wide and moving upfield on the flanks. It’s the old Einstein statement (and I’m paraphrasing) about not being able to expect different results if u keep on making the same mistakes- ie do things differently if u want to change the outcomes. Quite clearly something that PW doesn’t understand.
But u also have to question the players…. It’s as if they have never played football as a team game before…. Basic stuff unable to be done.
Quite amazing to watch how bad we have become. Seriously depressing.

Good interview from Birdy in my view. Almost seems to have a better grasp of how things really went than the manager . 👀😳

The 90 minute process I'm following in recent weeks.

Hourihane for me. Changed the game when he went off.
