I see fake news still spreads more quickly than the real thing.

[Long slender neck]

Just checked, since March 1st We've

won 6
Drawn 4
Lost 14

[Reflecto]

Either way those stats are damming. The problem has been brewing for awhile. Must have been the momentum of the L2 title that carried us along...but now gone.

[Beradogs]

I have just checked.
Won 11
Drew 4
Lost 5.

[Chief crazy horse]

So someone is totally wrong or else one of you has been drinking?

[Hoover Attack]

P11 W3 D2 L6

This season

P13 W3 D2 L8

Total

P24 W6 D4 L14

[Hoover Attack]

What, when we couldn’t buy a win at the start of the 23/24 season?

The last 2 transfer windows have cost us big time.

Spot on, there was the poor start to the season where fitness and adjustment to League 1 was a problem, plus lack of striker options due to Agyei injury (nothing changes hey) then that winning run which put us right up near the playoffs.

Since the Edwards / Adu-Adjei silliness all that momentum has been lost and now we're finding it hard going without am adequate El Miz replacement to keep the midfield ticking, plus the obvious striker shortages up top

[Hoover Attack]

And the keeper issue this season.

Whether Kelley resolves that in time, I’m not sure. But I’m confident Dom Ball, alongside an improved Brown and Galbraith (Galbraith especially) will sort the midfield.

Still leaves us short up top, though.

[Stan1972]

Can’t wait for Jan transfer window to sell what rejects we will get on free transfers…

Yeah that's right... It certainly wouldn't be anything to do with your darling Ricky..

[Hoover Attack]

Bit weird.

[Chief crazy horse]

More than weird is your unfounded obsession with the man.

[PKM]

Shocking stats, less than a point a match and relegation form over half a season.
wtf has happened with RW?
We’ve got a bunch of decent young players in O’Neill, Galbraith, Brown, Kelman plus some experience from the lines of Ball, Pratts, Beckles, Simpson, Happe. Agyei was great, when he played, last season. Ok, recruitment in two windows has been very poor, but even so, surely RW can get them playing better than what we’ve shown to date?
I think RW has time, but he needs to get his act together.
The constant undermining of the board has to stop, stop the excuses and deliver.

After the poor January recruitment the loan players pretty much gave up as did those out of contract as there was nothing to be gained from end of the season.

This season the recruitment has been shocking in key areas, you can't afford a GK chucking the first four games away. Also have a number of first time youth loanees who aren't ready so there's precious little competition for places. League position reflects the quality and depth of the squad imo.

Yup, after a really good run in Jan, when we seemed to hit our stride, RW wanted to push on for the playoffs. Support for that was not forthcoming - lip service only from NT, whose true intentions were revealed by ML at the end of the month when he declared "we're not going down and we're not going up" after we signed the two loan strikers.

Support was not "forthcoming" as we were £16million in hock to our "investors". There was no money.

They've reached the turning point of not throwing good money after bad and the club has more debt than ever before.

[Hoover Attack]

I retract the ‘bit weird’ comment.

It’s very weird.

It’s unfair to say anyone gave up. Can you imagine giving your all, twice a week, for weeks on end, desperately hoping for some additions to our threadbare, over-used squad, then seeing Edwards and Adjei2 rock up to training???

[Long slender neck]

Didnt a deal for a proper striker Mckirdy fall through?

Quite right, we have got a bunch of decent players, not great but decent players, and not half as bad as some on here are blaming for our troubles.

I think our issue, as everyone knows , is goalscoring, but also a lack of creativity in midfield for the strikers that we do have.
Luckily we won’t play Wycombe every week, but we really need results against teams around us.
I watched Blackpool v Wigan last night……..great advert for L1 and both teams looked very decent.

Wigan are one position and three points ahead of us.

Yes, I know and Blackpool aren’t much higher but both teams looked good in attack, showing fantastic effort.
After watching us at Wycombe it doesn’t fill me with confidence.
