It may well have been a key finding that the club don't communicate - if there has been some sort of media due diligence exercise performed by potential bidders. E.g. there may have been bidder questions around the comms or lack of thereof which have resulted in quick fire media interviews as a quick fix.

Roadmap to mid table obscurity

We should be dying to hold on to 3 points. Someone explain how we keep folding time after time, year after year - it is making me physically and mentally sick

What a waste, 1-0 up at ht against 10 men - no excuses for that result. This is a results game and the hierarchy be it the manager or Rudkin don't get it. This isn't academy football - we don't pay for match tickets and place bets on the team for the sake of player development. We want the win by hook or by crook. Just kick it in the stands for 45 mins if it means we take 3 points.

Could it be that Top has had a change of heart and doesn't want to sell?

High risk in the sense that players weren't afraid to speculate and to lose the ball. More often than not passes would be delivered at pace, straight to the fwds and towards goal (no sideways and backwards). The first half on sat is what I would consider low risk - just keeping posession for posession sake, scared to lose the ball, not creating anything, literally running down the clock at nil nil.

Its like a sad paradox - everything that made us champions has been replaced with the complete opposite. Champions era: Low posession. High risk, rough, ready, fast, furious, fearless bunch of misfits (non-academy) savouring every minute, every second and every opportunity on the pitch working hard at the belvoir drive training ground in the city. Decline era: High posession, low risk, lethargic, lacklustre, nonchalant academy bunch enjoying life at the seagrave centre parcs complex, all looking for their next big money move - building up their personal stats without one iota of care for the result or the paying public.

The players were so casual it was a joke... We are losing and they are taking an age to take throw-ins, corners and free kicks. No pace on any of the deliveries, no tempo, playing at walking pace. Always remember Riyad Mahrez telling a ball boy to hurry when we were once losing in the prem - you could see the desperation to win. These lads have no sense of urgency what so ever and it seems as though they feel they've made it once they are in the first team squad.

Exactly we never learn...too much messing about in our own third and kiterally gifting opportunnities to our opponenent.. p*ss take

Howell looks one of the better players, always on the front foot...

I know Wout Faes isnt a fans favourite but he can do a job at this level playing the posession style game. Souttar more of a danger going fwds from corners - seems a bit slow and flat footed when defending...

Hopefully he can resurrect that 13/14 form

Could be a good signing, like when we signed Kevin Phillips and he can coach the likes of Evans...

Christian Fuchs - we need that no fuchs given spirit and humour again
