Hopefully none of them out of contact won't be offered extentions don't want player's who aren't interested.

I can’t believe the managers interview ‘ we created pressure in the oppositions final third , had more touches inside the box and had more shots inside the box ‘

Wuppy Do mr Clemance , that won’t get it back to 3-3

Sooner we get rid of this deluded man the better. As for the fans giving the player stick , some of them players are earning 2/3 k a week and swanning around like they’re not interested. Newby included, doesn’t get off because he’s local. He couldn’t careless about Barrow realistically, we are just paying him the most at the time like the rest

My own view is. He is just too nice..

Watched him on sidelines, wasn't colourful or animated during key moments. Saying that ,the players weren't either.
Yes on stats we looked good but reality is, we got beat. You can throw all the stars in the world, we simply conceded 3 without any serious reactions and that's the concern.

We lack a true leader in field and hate to say it but if it too. Wanted to give SC benefit of doubt but we got spanked today and without any real response.

Not a very merry Xmas!

Games at Oldham and Tranmere postponed today due to fog. A pity this one wasn't abandoned! Though would have been rough justice on Salford.

I couldn't see much at the far end of the pitch in the second half, and wasn't even aware a Salford player had been sent off.

If you keep feeding the slot machine without getting a result then ultimately you either walk away from the slot machine or gamble your money on something else!

There's something definitely not right with this team.Whether it is the manager or the players remains to be seen.Time is not on our side as this situation needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Like has already been said these players are on around £2000 a week.I want to see them earning it.They should be prepared to run through.a brick wall to win a game.We are weak in defence,indecisive up front and not aggressive enough.When we go behind we seem to give up as was evident today.
Stephen Clemence may be right when he says he tells the players what he wants them to do but in the game it is down to them.If we manage to sign the two vital.players in the transfer window to try and make a difference in the final third will they be effective if the rest of the team are still.playing like this.
If they play like this against Tranmere another defeat is looming as they again will catch us out on the counter attack.I hope I am wrong.

How have you seen what the players earn, you say players are on over £100,000 per year can`t believe you know this.

Board need to come out and reassure everyone that there will be some serious acquisitions in the transfer window and they have faith in SC as a head coach.
Or they need to sack him.
The current situation is not good. SC needs to know the club are behind him , and the fans need to know there's an action plan, and the players need the backing of the fans.
Without these things we will be out of the league, probably lose the training facility and who would blame the board if they cut thier losses.
The board need to be clear about what's happening and fast.

Ian Wood has got far too much power at the club now the board made him a director as far as I’m concerned did not consult the trust when we owned 10% of the club so I’ve given him a pay rise to keep him in a job. Hornby Shera need to answer questions cause they are now the ones making decisions which you have been shocking.

Panic button pressed for me. :!:

A year ago, we’d won 7 on the bounce and went toe to toe with Stockport on an epic Boxing Day fixture at Holker Street.

Now we’re absolutely terrible. Toothless up top, rarely keeping clean sheets and every game seems like an uphill battle.

Tranmere away feels like we need a win, but will do well to get a point. Bradford at home, same again.

Sacking Pete Wild and replacing him with Stephen Clemence is turning out to be a disastrous decision. :evil:

And for the Stockport game just short of 6,000 and the last 2 home games over 10,000, with the remaining home games can only see the Bradford & Carlisle games attracting over 3,000 the rest below 3,000 that will be many thousands of pounds lost to the Club, sacking Clemence/Stockdale won`t be cheap replacing Wood would also be costly, but relegation would cost the Club Millions over the years, the Owners have a big decision to make in the coming days.
