After a couple of performances that gave us a bit of hope, the team has relapsed. Not only do we have the problem of lack of threat up front, but the defence has started leaking poor goals as well. Looking back at the collapse at the end of last season, there seems to be a collective mentality problem.

Clemence reminds me of Dunn in a number of ways. Nowt about him, no steel, no drive, no passion things that our two most successful recent managers in evatt and wild had in abundance. That is bound to rub off on players. Time to clem fandango outta here

Gutless. 2 points from Salford, tranmere, Bradford and Harrogate after the run we had is a disgrace. Do the inevitable and do it tonight

If that’s what we are ultimately relying on prepare for relegation. Nobody wants that surely.
I get what you’re saying but where are the Barrow wins coming from.
Got to be a change of tact and that can only come through the management team. We have to win our battles like Harrogate did and show the same determination, passion and desire that Weaver has instilled into his team today.

Quite simply..[SwearFilter] poor and not good enough by a country mile. Pitch looks awful, we look awful and the tactics and play was awful

All we do is lump it from the back, there's no intention to put a foot on the ball and try to play, just volley it back in the air and because the Stikers are weak as [SwearFilter] we constantly lose possession.

Any flickering light we thought we saw against Bradford comes to naught. A collective torpor seems to have set in and it's very worrying.
Don't let the old man in.

Last Saturday I was slagged off (called a clown, a wet-wipe, etc) for saying I was done with this pathetic team. I'm doubling-down on that position and after today's performance I might not be the only one.

Worrying signs when the team took drinks in a break of play away from the management?

Agree with you today but last match against Bradford we turned up and did ok.

He has to go now surely to Christ we are now 100% in a relegation dog fight and for the life of me I struggle to see where this team goes from here other than non league oblivion……. Do the decent thing SC and pack ya stuff up.
