Who Mellon, 100%. Call me what you want I don't care but please don't start piping shit up when a teams gone out again, been comprehensively outplayed and had their bellies tickled, again. We are currently on our worst winless run in about 15 years. Like I said from Royle down they can all get in the bin for me because they are shit, incompetent and have little desire to succeed. A fucking embarrassment the lot of them.

I think the irony was lost on you there

Yes and what do we need those wingers for.....

Athleticos in the spirit of a Mellonball team appear to have given up.

No but that's not a bad thing.

If that crowd today doesn't worry the board I'm not sure what will, Mellon is taking the club backwards at the minute.

That's served us well hasn't it. Quickly losing patience with this guy and to me he's playing a game with the club, about three of them from Thursdsy deserved to start today the rest of them were shite, he just rewards failure week after week. Why on earth wouldn't you reward a couple of youth players with at least a spot on the bench for their efforts, mans behaving like a cock now, I hate the way he bemoans everything yet changes absolutely fuck all. How does Norwood even start today we played infinitely better without him Thursday but somehow he strolls back in. Fucking comical management from these two who are quickly giving dumb and dumber a run for their money.

Dead rubber today and he picks the clowns who've let us all down the past couple of months. Fucking dinosaur

Respect to you for that Phil, we've lost some great and loyal supporters the past 12 months, many of them I am privileged to call friends.

What I want to know regardless of whether we look good or not is. Why when we were top of and 8 game form table less than two months ago have we slipped to the bottom of it just 9 games later, it's almost bizarre.

It saves paying out lump sums, paying them weekly is probably budgeted for and easier to absorb. With regards to Reid he was apparently already on a warning so he's a lucky boy to be picking wages up for nothing regardless of whether he is contracted. Not seen Shelton around for weeks neither which is strange, my feeling is he probably needs a break and the club are supporting him in that, he looked fragile towards the end and I had some sympathy for him as it just didn't work out for him playing alongside Sheron. Having looked at the squad you'd say there are big decisions to be made over a number of first steamers who look out of Micky's plans including; Norman Shelton Willoughby Nuttall Ward Reid That's on top of the rumours I'm hearing that some players (under contract) want out. Whichever way you look at it if these players can't be shifted they'll have to be brought back in to the fold as it's unsustainable at our level to have around 10k a week in wages going out for zero return.

Oh dear the apologist has turned up, as a 'club' they've performed piss poor in this regard since Frank walked in the door two years ago, you want to give them another summer without anybody asking a question or receiving any answers?. Something is fundamentally wrong with the recruitment of players yet we appear to be just ploughing down the same route again and again, what's changing this summer then?.

Err ask him to stay at home, they call it gardening leave in most working environments. You certainly don't leave the bad influence in the group, it's basic man management.

Now we are a charity...

Anyone actually going?.

We couldn't even be arsed with having a go in the FA Trophy so it's a bit rich the club moaning about a competition we'll do well to get to the third round in for some time. I'd have been happier with a statement in regards to the car crash shit show we've witnessed the last couple of months but each to their own.

Which makes Mellon post Oxford a strange one, surely when he took the job he knew the state of the squad, it's okay him exiling half of them but they are still entitled to draw their wages.

I think we have, 5th with nine games to play suggests we've bottled it as well.

They are probably linked and it's no coincidence our form dropped considerably and Mellon turned Unsworth overnight when he realised he had 17 players he'd have to carry forward in to next season. That's my opinion on it, honestly for League 2 I wouldn't be keeping more than about two players and one of them I dislike. Saying all that you should never turn down any opportunity to progress which it looks like we have this season.

What's revealing about that then? We've been posting that for weeks on here and pointing out our concerns, has he just realised?.

10 game winless league run is the third worst in the past 20 years and it's still going. 10/11 season under Dickov we went 12 in the League without a win and the grim Kelly/Dunn run that went on for 11 winless in 15/16. We've been served up some right shite the last couple of decades but this latest run is right up there with the worst and the least expected, actually in 5th with games in hand with nine to play, awful. Not a chance I'm bothering to watch that shite tomorrow in the flesh.

That's the weird thing draws away at Dagenham and Halifax I'd happily take particularly within the away record as a whole this season so them sort of boos I just don't get. Booing players on needs calling out as that's about as useful to the team as that City fan who kept the ball from Modric missed penalty the other night leaving Silva stood there stewing for 30 seconds. They've been booed off a few times at home even at half time this season which I understand particularly when the desire and effort hasn't been there. It's not for me I just normally go early and the apathy of the last decade still exists for me, I find us almost comical to watch at home at times, it's literally like watching park football.

I wasn't too far away yet some still knocked my post. Only about 4% of our fans predicted we would finish as low as 10th, fair play to them as I actually voted we would go up as Champions Does anybody still see this season as progress, that was banded about on here a lot a couple of months ago but I don't hear it now.

They were shit long before the booing started. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation so effort is probably needed on both parts, I've got to say though this group is the most detached I've ever seen from the fans and from the outside as has been mentioned it looks like it's full of over flated egos and bad attitudes which for an older group of players is just weird.

Right footed Defender Centrehalf Pub player Snails pace Sorry he fails the criteria, according to statbomb he needs three of the above.
