I thought someone was letting off fireworks lol. We need new management asap. Greeny and co has to go i'm sorry. We played like sharke against an even worse team than us. It's tiring and i'm losing interest in the club.

Agree with this sentiment. We've had worse runs of form than this before, much worse in fact, but I think this one just feels different. The vibe from the club is basically just that players and management have given up and are running out the 4 years until we fold. I'm not saying that is what is happening but that is what it feels like. We need a clear out and some fresh ideas and fresh faces but instead we are re-signing players who would hardly be in demand elsewhere even when we don't have a manager, and looking like we will hire Greenacre and Buckingham despite no obvious improvement since they've been interimming. And Greenacre is a nice guy and was a good player for the club but has only been assistant as part of two coaching regimes which ended in a death spiral of poor football and no results. This desire to stick with the status quo even when the status quo is not working is infuriating. 

If us, as fans of the club, are finding it a tough watch then how do we expect to win over the casuals we need to be turning up or watching us on Sky so the club can meet its #metrics and survive?
