I watched the rugby. That was a cracker. My son was in the next room watching Town and all I could hear was ‘shite this’ and ‘shite that’. He walked into my room a broken man. It’s shit being a Town fan.

Can I just say that every single away fan there in that ground today was unbelievable. Support like that is so undeserved for this pile of shite. That being said, for the millionth time, sacking Duff is NOT the answer. Sacking Cartwright is. I agree Cartwright needs to go, but that squad available today should be playing much better for 90mins, that is nothing to do with Cartwright that’s either the players of the coaching / tactics. If we are serious about trying to go back up we need to work out quickly why the that squad is performing like that, and that has to be Duffs fault either he has the wrong tactics for this group or this group are not playing for him, as they are better than they showed today. Sadly, they really aren't....!!! |

Duff out. Cartwright out. Can't blame having shit players in a strong league anymore. Lost to none league part timers Lost to L2 Walsall Lost to L2 Doncaster Lost at home to 17th place Northampton Lost at home to 18th place Blackpool Drew against 21st Crawley We're 8th at the November international break. The tactics are shite, the style of football is shite. He is incapable of changing a game, just keep doing plan A even if it's clearly not working. For some reason he's getting the benefit of the doubt, EIGHTH with that squad is a disgrace. He plays a system that doesn't suit anyone. Let Lees and Pearson have the ball nice one. Spencer was a wing back, yeah sure Michael. Bojan is crap, Marshall isn't a back to goal player. It's absolute tosh "EIGHTH with that squad is a disgrace". Have you seen that squad ? PROVEN losers and bloody unreliable signings. Which striker should Duff pick ? Which central midfield player ? Which full-back ? Which pacey attacker ? Etc etc |

Irrespective of limited options up front, I never want to see Radulovic in a Town shirt ever again. Half-paced, effortless and generally just shite.

Was there zero reaction following the Tamworth debacle?
I appreciate it appears we missed some sitters, but ultimately we've only managed 1 pt against an injury ravaged team at the bottom.
Yes we've finally come back from being behind (twice) but it's still nowhere near good enough.
Positives in Healey and Kane scoring, but if as a unit they couldn't raise their game today... not good

We just don’t behave like a big fish in this pond. We look tepid and really lack intensity at times. Add into that how sloppy we are at times and our inability to finish simple chances and other teams are quite rightly, confident they can get at us. After last Friday we should have flown out the blocks today but we didn’t. I’m not sure Duff can motivate this lot at all. I’m convinced most of our successes this season are because we have better players than some of our opponents and nothing else. Honestly, what is our identity and style of play?  |

I am really running out of excuses for Duff. Maybe the fact he actually comes across well and talks a good game is clouding over what is happening on the pitch. Forget the second half completely, just look at the first half, which was our reaction to the most embarrassing defeat we have ever had as a football club against part timers. I use the term "reaction" loosely, but if that was what the players and manager thought was acceptable given what happened, therein lies the problem. I despair at the unwillingness to change this formation, and try something that would suit the players better. I just dont understand why he is so married to that formation, that he wont try something different from the start especially against the weaker sides in the division.
The players have to take their share of the blame too, because regardless of formation and tactics, you should still be able to find a team mate who is 5 yards away, you should still be able to avoid slicing the ball out of play under no pressure, and you should still be able to do the very basics of defending. On top of that, the state of our strike force is an embarrassment. Either injured after a few minutes or couldnt hit a barn door. I have never seen so many strikers at a football club who you have no faith in to get 5 goals, never mind the 20 or so you need at this level. The misses in the first half were a disgrace to any professional footballer. I would have been confident in putting 1 of them away myself.
I am fed up of saying this, but until we get some leadership from the top, bring in someone as director of football who can transform the football club for the better, then its pointless getting rid of Duff. Nothing will change. Manager after manager has shown that we dont have enough on the pitch, yet they just become the fall guy for the joker who is bringing in people like Ladapo, and no questions been asked of him. There is no manager who will get these players back to the Championship, im almost convinced of that.

Anyone who wants Duff to stay. Other than 'we can't keep sacking managers' why do you want him? Because he's got strikers who are proven non - scorers - look at their career records for goodness sake. Our only one who is half decent - Healey- is totally unreliable because of a proven injury record in recent years. Look at Bojan today - absolute shite. Look at Koroma today - I could have scored those headers. Look at Danny Ward - can't be arsed when he does play, but presently on his annual pre-Christmas break. Because he's got a bunch of midfield players who are either invisible, weak, or both. When Kasumu has been our best midfield player this season it speaks volumes - volumes. Because we have a defence that have the charcter, but are slower than goodness knows what. Duff has made mistakes, certainly, but how many managers have now managed to get ANYTHING from that bloody squad ?? |

A competent manager would have, at some point, moved out of a 3-5-2, given we just can’t play it consistently |

That is basically my only reason because with the poor players we have I think the best thing any manager could do is roll the shit in glitter. Countless managers and countless failures with one constant - the players (and the recruiter Cartwright). Do you think if we got a new manager, we would be any better? |

Zero pace in our team, needs to sack three at back now & play a back four starting Tuesday night against the pacey Man Utd youngsters......Not hard to see why stubborn Duff was sacked last December, he has one or two on here now calling for his head, will he change??

That being said, for the millionth time, sacking Duff is NOT the answer. Sacking Cartwright is. Well said. Away end (albeit a tiny one) looked packed, well done to every one of them. Sacking Duff is not the answer. Just look at the players we have signed, with a relatively big budget for this poor league, simply not good enough. The signings of Radulovic and Ladapo speak volumes, hundreds have said it already but let me repeat once again - GET MARK CARTWRIGHT OUT OF OUR CLUB ASAP and appoint a proper sporting director who knows what he is doing |

Losing interest rapidly.
Better things to do on Saturday afternoon than watching a side trying to establish themselves in League One.
Think thousands of fans may discover there's more to life next season and just check the result at 5pm before the Premier League starts on Sky.
The continued failures of this football club were all avoidable. Wonder how many millions it would take to attract NW back in a last ditch effort to keep any respectability this season before the rot completely sets in.

2 of the strikers whom played a part today were bought to keep us in the Championship... I would hope you are right, but based on what we have seen of them they appear to have been bought to keep us in this league. |

Looked a completely different team with Healey and Koroma up top. Actually gave their defence something to worry about.
Bojan and Marshall gave us no outlet at all.
Koroma should have buried one of those headers though.
