Let's get a big crowd there- an important game as we can go above them if we win and the table will look a lot better.
From their forum they plan to bring a few so should be a good night game atmosphere (nothing on SGL on a Monday night of course).

Really don't know what to make of it. The result says 0-3 but really we were the better side. Only one team wanted to play football and that was us, whilst Leamington had around 4 or 5 chances are took three of them. Apart from the first 20, when they went two nil up it was a constant City attack but it just wouldn't go in. Someone is due to get stuffed by us, weren't not a bottom of the league side looking at some of the football we played tonight.

Unfortunately 2 soft goals in the first 20 minutes put Leamington in control. It looked as though they would need every bit of that advantage as City picked up their game but lacked the final touch in front of goal. There were several neat moves but nothing to show for their efforts. So it was 2-0 at the break.
City started the second half as they finished the first but a goal was elusive. It summed up the evening when Leamington's first venture into the penalty area after the restart, following a corner, resulted in a penalty for hand ball.
One cannot knock the effort of the players and they played some good stuff at times until it came to putting the ball in the net. The 3-0 scoreline did not reflect the balance of the play in my opinion, but its goals that count. Hopefully the tide will start to turn soon.

Some in the crowd not happy but I saw more positives than negatives- apart from the score. Better set pieces from which we could have scored a couple but didn't. Get scoring and the confidence will return. Thought Tyler looked class tonight and with George overlapping on the other side there is potential. |

There's always some idiots in the crowd who don't get what's going, like the pillock telling Jose to hurry up in the Lincoln match, when we were one up and he was clearly trying to break up Lincoln's momentum. The only negative was defensive mistakes early on, but I suspect that's more to do with a new keeper, new left back and just returned centre back than anything more sinister. Keep the faith, it'll come.

We may have had decent chances tonight, but the fact of the matter is we have 1 win in 15 and that is not good enough I'm sorry. Surely we cannot keep going like this? Releasing players, signing players, changing the team every week. Is this signs of desperation? Are fans idiots for wanting a managerial change?
Maybe that's what we need because at the moment we are going down. A lot of fans are not happy and I think there are still to many people satisfied with the on field goings on at the moment. I want this club to survive, it's in my blood, but if we don't change something then we will go down, and the future plans will be in jeopardy. If we keep loosing no one will travel up home games, and if we go down who will come next season?! The club will go bustbefore any plans for a stadium will ever go in. Am I wrong?!

At the moment we're going nowhere, it's November.
Chopping the manager as soon as a few results don't go our way is not how to build a successful side.

We've have been heavily beaten at home by a poor side who are just above us. He can't build a successful side cause he keeps releasing and signing players! Different players every week! It's desperation and clueless. He has given it his best shot and it's not good enough anymore and we need a change to freshen things up. There are a lot of fans feeling this way.
I Apreciate what he had done for club and the support he has given but we need a fresh input before it really is too late

Usually when City lose I come away dejected, disappointed, and upset. Not tonight, I came away feeling positive and uplifted - And we lost at home 3-0!!! Crazy??? No, we were easily the better side and played some good passing football. AND we have Tyler Weir back, a class player who is consistently excellent. The effort and enthusiasm from the players was evident and they kept going to the end despite the scoreline. Leamington hardly had a chance, we squandered a hatful. OK we need someone to put the ball in the net but N'ti looked sharp when he came on and we came close several times. I reckon once we get one win we will put a string of results together which will see us move up to mid-table safety. And I noted carefully the crowds reaction to this setback, I heard no booing or adverse comments and I was on the halfway line, and I took that as a clear indication that despite the disappointment the crowd recognised the effort the players had put in and the positives that can be taken from this performance.
Come on City keep it going, it's only a matter of time!

Unfortunately steves, it's not just a few results that ahve not gone our way.
I am not calling for the manager's head as some are, but surely noone can argue that changes are not needed.
BUT, is it the manager ?
I really do not know.

Guys I've never posted on a message board/forum as never felt the need to, however, reading some of the posts I just can't get my head round how we seem to be the better team but we always end up losing?
I was at the game and I have to say we did not play as suggested, we were poor! Take the rose tinted specs off please, our current coaching staff do not have a divine right to be there. I'm in sales, I don't bring the results in I'd better start looking for another job, in fact most jobs are the same - results not good enough - U R Fired ! Well guess what football is the same?
Yes we have no ground, yes we have no money? yes there have been a lot of changes, but if we don't change the management and pretty quickly we will be changing the league as well. Wake up and smell the coffee guys, don't feed me or the rest of us with any more bull that we were better team but we lost, oh we lost but there were positives, there was some skill shown but we lost.
Before anyone asks who should be the new manager, who would work for next to nothing? with a poor playing budget I don't know, but there must be someone who could be an alternative, from a country of 60,000,000 plus people I would imagine there is at least one who fits the bill?
What we shouldn't be doing is staying calm, keeping the faith, action is what we need before it's too late. Remember we are over a third of the way through the season, we are bottom of the league, have the worst goals for, won the least games, one of the poorest goals for/against. Like one poster said we've already been relegated before(saved by default) with Carl in charge, let's not make it twice?

Nice neat football, plenty of effort but still just not a good enough team. There is a lack of penetration and a lack of leadership out there. When you go 2-0 up early in a game, you can let the other side have possession and play the ball around neatly. I thought Leamington defended very well and just kept their shape, and kept the 3 points safe. This was always going to be a frustrating and difficult season. We might not deserve to be bottom of the table, but this is a relegation zone team. I just hope we can find the formula to get out of there later in the season.

We just lost a potential six-pointer. History, at all levels of the game, suggests we'll go down with a result like that.
It doesn't really matter how we play. This is a results business sadly.
We need League wins pronto, or it will be too late...

We lost a game. There's no such thing as a six pointer. We're 6 points off 15th place with teams just above us panicking a bit as well.
As the great philosopher Sgt Jones reminded us "don't panic".
We're in survival mode off the pitch and need to gain some perspective on what we need to achieve this season.
If anyone can suggest who would take on such a task with minimal money and no prospect of investment (shares are still available) then fine. But reality is we have a good management team and potentially a good side. Do not write us off before Christmas for gods sake.

Well said Creaner, there's still nearly two-thirds of the season left to go! Two or three wins for any side can transform the league picture for any team in this division. Anyone remember Colwyn Bay last season, apparently dead and relegated they won a handful of games and shot up the table? It's not as if we are playing badly. I shall enjoy pointing out some of these negative posts to their respective authors come the end of the season. Then again we could win the league and some people would still complain about the size and shape of the trophy!

And as for trying new players, if CH was playing the same 11 every week and being beaten, you'd be moaning then as well.
No-one has yet answered the question of who this magical replacement manager will be.

GUISLEY!!! GUISLEY?  They are only 13th, just 3 wins in front of us! There are 27 games left and 81 points to play for!!! Less negativity and more positivity and support are what's required in is situation. To quote Danny Glover's entry on twitter this morning " When times get tough a positive outlook is the only way forward. Negative Normans don't get anywhere!". The Players, Management and Directors are up for the challenge, true supporters will back them 100 percent, 81 points to play for! Don't panic! |

Like some posters above I didn't feel too depressed by City's performance (they couldn't have tried harder!), even if I was depressed by the result.
The fact is we are bottom. To survive, in my estimation, we need another 40 points from 27 games - that's 1½ points per game from this point forward. It will take some doing.
I don't know why Danny Glover is posting on Twitter: he would be better employed putting the ball in the back of the net.

Exactly, and they weren't Worcester biased highlights. One thing, I always thought hand ball had to be deliberate, he had his arms by his side when it hit him!

There may be a confidence issue with a couple of players
I think Danny Glover is a classic example, he has been one of the best strikers in the league & there's no reason that form won't come back to him !!
