Some people are fascinated by rubber-necking at disaster scenes.

The bad news is, it's going to get worse. You're going to see Bon Jovi tomorrow.

We could see what happens when you give Russell Martin the keys. We even told them so. Top and Rudkin did it anyway.

We have got rid of a lot of players but relegation to division three will tend to create a rush for the door and give you more options. Incomings have been unconvincing and some have been poor. 12 (?) players in and our best players are still our kids. Still too many with no resale potential. To call this a good window is premature.

Sweep the car park?

Oh dear. You don't seem to be able to recognise a post that is deliberately facetious for effect. To be clear, for the hard of thinking, I doubt that the original poster really was literally jumping up and down when we signed Ayew. Jeez!

I stand corrected . My apologies. I thought that I'd replied to the one about Bristol managing to sign her m on a 3 year deal. I have obviously got lost in all the excitement

I'm talking about a profile of player as you well know. A model and direction of recruitment. A strategy that we used to adopt and excel at once upon a time. Perhaps such players for our level and at a similar price don't exist but I highly doubt it. .

You have misrepresented my post here since I wasn't replying to that one. Poor form Tommy G

Again? I wonder if we will ever return to the model of buying young, hungry players on the way up, with potential resale value rather than proven mediocrity.

I bet you said similar when Carranza signed. You probably jumped up and down when Ayew signed.

Everyone has our pants down. He sounds prolific. In a similar way that Harper Lee was prolific

My thoughts exactly

Another 3 pts?

Yes. It was a rebuttal of 'your thoughts'. Didn't think I'd have to explain that but...

I wasn't booing them, I wasn't there. My point is a general one, not about yesterday or last week but four years of mismanagement. We should not clap along as the club slowly dies.

It's an historic moment that deserves recognition. I'm welling up with pride. 65th in the league has never happened before.

I disagree. It helps me personally and I think it is important that we make it known that this is unacceptable. Very loudly. Your maths exam analogy does not hold water. We are not talking about players that are not good enough we are talking about players that have been massively underperforming and not putting in the basic effort.

Why shouldn't we expect to be challenging to win this league? On any given matchday our XI will be of higher quality than any other in this division, in my opinion.

We have every advantage over most of the other teams in this division. Much like we had last year and look how that turned out. Anyway, I didn't boo them, I wasn't there. I am moaning about it and moaning about the predictability of appointing Russell ****ing Martin and sitting one place out of the relegation zone in league one, looking up to the likes of Mansfield and Bromley. I will definitely hold them to higher standards than this

Sick of this attitude. This is a division of pub teams, we can't beat any out of three of the worst of them and proudly sit in 20th place. We can't just shrug and say we were unlucky. Talk about going softly into the night. We don't deserve to be here. It is a scandal. We have been badly let down by a £100m squad that downed tools on us We still have a squad to walk this division and we need to demand more.

He is doing what circumstances dictate, not by strategy. We had to get players off the wages bill, it is an existential threat. This is league 1. Martin's style of football is unpopular because it is boring, toothless and ineffective. He is also a serial loser who has us in 20th place in league one! Green shoots? We should be bossing this division

This is league one. Have our standards fallen so low that we can be satisfied with 'encouraging signs'

Another point toward safety
