This time of year it's the bottom teams that manage to grind out points, but there's always one that's in complete free fall and that sadly is us.
We are dreadful both on and off the pitch.
The manager is so far out of his depth it's almost comical, the team can't score and worse they can't defend.
I don't know what underpants's agenda is, but it's clearly not of the footballing kind.
Personally I think we'll be cut adrift by the end of march and relegated with a few games to spare.
Dreadful season altogether.

Why did they buy the Club? Did they have any understanding at all as to what they were getting. It’s bizarre….

It can...
Classic Mick McCarthy..I'm all for giving managers time and I hate the hire and fire culture of football these days, but clearly Young had been over promoted and out of his depth. We are running out of time and on a horrendous run whilst others pick up form. That insipid performance in his first game (I think) against Millwall has set the tone. We need someone with experience who can come in and motivate the players and get us a few wins. I dunno who that is, they're probably not out there and even if they are they probably wouldn't want to come here. But someone akin to Phil Brown who almost performed a miracle in nearly keeping Kidderminster up last season.

How about a certain John Still!
After all this is “his club”

It sounded terrible again, whether injuries or not what strategy is it with just the Fulham loanee up front? Its almost 10 years away from EFL and surely in the next couple of games could easily be our lowest position and in a complete rut, actually amazed were still hovering at 17th although that low pack above the Fleet seem to have the will to fight out of it and not much in it now. Must be zero wins out of seven since the change, really can't see us improving under this regime. Gotta pull straws from somewhere but where?

A situation I am told, that allegedly most of the senior players i.e. Ling. Eastman, Rees et al have already been told that their contracts will not be extended at the end of the season!

If true, this would surely have to surprise nobody supporting the club over the past three to six months.

If we get less than 3 points out of Boston and Aldershot at the start of March then the season is over... Ebbsfleet being so far away and cut adrift at the bottom of the league is the only thing saving my mental state that we may do a Wolves in the Premier League and be dreadful but just not as bad as the current bottom teams to go down.

We might survive due to some other terrible teams, it will only be a stay of execution under this lot ending in relegation next season. Who in the sane mind would renew a season ticket in 3 months time?

That was painful, pitiful, and utterly disgraceful.

We are a rudderless, sinking ship. Incompetence in the boardroom and the dugout.

Second bottom in the form guide over the last 5, 10 and 20 games. We're in the thick of a relegation battle here, relying upon individual moments to defy the barren rot all around.

Not top of the league, or play-off-chasing, but 14th placed Eastleigh effortlessly dismantled us last night.

We've all cut Harvey some slack but the second goal is completely indefensible. Rutherford didn't cover himself in glory for the opener either as he couldn't have made it easier to drive inside.

Really can't see where the next win is coming from.

Just listened to Youngs post match interview, he accepts that the performance was his fault, he accepted that he was responsible for the loss and poor performances of late, something that we all find very obvious, Young seems like a decent person so he should do what a decent manager should do and that is RESIGN no other way forward for him or the team! The way things are going any one of us could give it a better shot, the talent appears to be there but tactics and motivation are clearly missing.
Bye bye Mr Young turn off the lights on your way out.
