free agent market for a right back and money has been set aside for such a purchase apparently.................For me, all there is left to say - the sooner the better, cos 'hope' all but gone now.
What a let down for that good travelling support.
And we needed a tough leader in midfield it's all too little too late.
This system is crap playing a back 3 you have to press if you don't you become a back 5 and look what happens, Fleetwood only had to run into space and our defender's were like rabbits in a headlight!.
The injuries haven't helped down to the board this they sanctioned the signings and have also defended this system with little digs here and there Sorry a lot of us have been right all season !

Im sat on the bus in near silence.
We cant invite pressure like that. We had no answer 2nd half. And, again the last 2 basic mistakes.
Not to mention panicking and losing the ball as the half went on.
To the bitter, bitter end.
Wait till you see the goals Steve pathetic doesn't cover the description!
Bad enough live. Enlivened by some of the stewards sending our fans the wrong way

The sad thing about it was you knew we'd struggle to hang on for even a point at 1-2. Hope was dwindling even at that stage.

I cannot believe it. 0-2 up, looked at full time and 3-2. Absolutely shocking and can only see relegation. Didn’t see the game so can’t comment on Stanway today, but how he has been touted for a move is beyond me as I don’t think he is worth paying money for, more mistakes/bad games than good and time to give someone else a go. Defence also questionable so not just picking out Stanway but don’t know the answer to our defence problem as none of them seem up for it.
How long is this manager going to get?
After three or four managers now you’ve got to say it’s the players haven’t you. They ain’t got it. Haven’t put in a 90 minute performance all season, continually give teams head starts and then throw leads away. No game management, no nouse, no leadership, weak physically and mentally. Whatever league we’re in next season needs a total rebuild and start again bar 4/5. Same goes for off the pitch and the whole recruitment and football director side of it.

I'm done with this bunch of losers, not an ounce of fight in any of them.
One of the worst teams I've witnessed in 45 yrs of watching.
It's just as well they got my money at the start of the season.

Looks like we might have a Andy Whing reunion at Brackley Next season

A season summed up in almost one game.
Absolutely gutted and I can't see how we win more than a couple of games rather than the 5 or 6 likely needed.
The board and CEO have some serious questions to answer once this season is over.
Not sure I like any players in this team and will be glad to see the back of most of them.

Really can’t see where 5 wins are coming from now. To lose against Crawley, Shrewsbury and Harrogate and then lose today after being two up is disastrous. The Vanarama league beckons.

On reflection I think that Dino will scrape us up, 'if' we bring in an experienced RFB, especially in time for the Gills game - we have the games left yet to do it.

Stanway terrible again, needs dropping
Not that long ago that there was talk of him going in the transfer window for up to £100,000!

Zero point in changing the manager, the problem is clearly this awful group of players. Besides, we will need to save every penny we can get as the National League will be a huge struggle without league funding and the naturally lower crowds that will come with it.

Early goes not going our way. Mccann well and truly got stuck in to thompson after the third. Dont know how any manager changes our fortunes. The days of saying its fine other below us aren't winning seem a distant memory
