I genuinely don’t care. Relegation is relegation and it has zero bearing on next season. Can we fast forward ?

Yep. Just feels bad taste when people are slagging players off etc given the circumstances. Wouldn’t surprise me if some started on Bannan by the seasons end which I really hope doesn’t happen Big picture, DC ruined the squad. It’s not their fault.

I think a lot of people just get lost in what they’re seeing. ie a few weeks ago etc seemed everyone was fairly clear we were going down but happy for Chansiri to be gone I think the reality of our situation is sinking in for people, ie the season isn’t even at Christmas yet and we’ve got to watch us get battered and relegated like a slow painful death. But as you say take a step back, we know this is coming. We know thanks to DC our squad is woefully weaker than this level. Accept it. Embrace it. Don’t turn on the players and look forward to new ownership and a new future

If he progressed the club and sold us to middle eastern billionaires like Newcastle id take it

I'm absolutely fine with having a blueprint of technically based players in the squad and its a thing i probably agree with. But i just also feel you need something different throughout your squad for when situations may need it. For instance theres a place for a striker whos big, strong and maybe not technically great. Doesnt mean i want us to have multiples of that, but for me theres definitely a place in the squad.

Let me know of any squad in history thats had a squad full of players with a 'high standard of technical ability' in League One. If you think you can find 25 of them i think youre barking up the wrong tree. Blokes managed to play 3 consecutive seasons in the German 2nd tier but youre suggesting hes not good enough for League One. Madness.

So you only want a squad where we have technically good players? When we'd have games midweek away at the likes of Burton, Exeter etc?

Think we should probably see who buys us and what their plan is Cant see how he wouldnt be a great squad player in L1 tbh.

We really went from hailing our players for sticking with it, through really hard times whilst not being paid, losing our most of our best players etc...dealing with the circus of Chansiri..... To they dont give a sh*t in the space of 1 derby day defeat. Football fans eh.

The lowest point was when the players and staff weren’t getting paid and Chansiri still owned the club.

I just don’t see how that’s true. Feels a lazy accusation to a defeat that the players don’t care

Whilst ever we’ve got fans not believing Robs word when he’s being this clear, over baseless Walton’s rumours, then there’s no stopping it . People have latched onto utopia as a dream and to them anything else will be a disappointment

I don’t know how much more obvious people need it. There is no Waltons bid.

Did anyone actually establish that Fletcher completely fabricated injury in his final appearance btw? As in 100% clarity, not just assumption and likelihood? Seen many things here about him being unprofessional in the end of his time here… Yet every interview I’ve heard, including Iorfa last week, referenced what a consummate professional he was and how much of a leader in that dressing room. If he downed tools and was ‘unprofessional’ as people are accusing, I think his teammates narrative would have reflected that since. And it has not.

Leaving the final game issue to one side In all seriousness, if youre entering your last 2-5 years of a career, where 1 bad injury could pretty much end it...Why are you going to accept a 75% wage drop? Probably felt pretty insulted from Chansiri at that on a professional level and rightly so. By all accounts Stoke offered him a 2 year deal on £16,000 a week so why wouldn't he go? They're a long time retired.
