Another step closer to relegation in what is becoming a disastrous season.
Cox will soon lose any goodwill he has with supporters by staying on; Although that decision should have been out of his hands a few games ago.
Honestly think if he stays on we will finish below 30 points.

Definitely worth a go; Cox can’t use the excuse that we are more secure with 5 at the back with our abysmal record.
Stick Jarvis in the middle with Loft and Scrimshaw either and see what happens.

On talksport tonight too.
A great stunt by those who pulled it off; Bringing the focus of the media onto the club and the way it’s being ran.

we need a player in the style of Paul Hayes or similar.
Keith Hill kind of character we’d be showing much more than we are doing.
I can imagine his wage demands have increased significantly since the stints at Bolton & Tranmere, but if I Swann I’d be using whatever loopholes necessary in getting him in.

Needs to be gone ASAP.
We could be cut adrift by Halloween and there’s no way this team has the capability of putting 2-3 wins together to get ourselves out of it.
Swann needs to bend whatever rules necessary and bring someone in this week.
Shambolic

Why would 150 fans leaving at half time make the news? Complete waste of time when there were 100 or so happy clappers at the end stood clapping the hopeless cunts off!
Those whose stayed and clapped at the end need to have a word with themselves.
150 people leaving at half time is insignificant, but it’s a start. I expect the biggest form of protest this year to be empty stands. Like I said on another thread, crowds could end up at 1,500 this year.

If Swann goes and the club goes under – what difference will that be to Swann staying?
Based on that thinking – I prefer to see him depart.Muses. I wonder if Fenty might be available …
I had exactly this argument with a supporter at half time yesterday. He was still adamant we needed Swann in charge as there was no alternative, I thought it was uptheiron at first.
Unless Swann takes a back seat and gets people in who know what they’re doing then we are heading to the conference north, if we are lucky. Crowds will continue to plummet and I made a prediction that we will see sub 2k this year; it could honestly be sub 1,500 if this carries on.
The club is turning toxic and something is going to give soon

I agree, it gets more embarrassing for Cox by the week.
But even if someone squeezed every ounce of potential out of these lads, I still don’t think we’d finish much higher than 20th. They are just not good enough and it’s a chronic lack of investment from Swann towers.
Remember, we finished 22nd last year with Eisa, Gillead, Van Veen, Mcgahey, Bedeau, Clarke in the team. I honestly think this lot could finish below 30 points and we won’t have anyone score above 5 goals.

I’d rather see these young lads given a go over the anonymous loanees any day of the week; however let’s be honest, it’s not going to make a blind bit of difference. They will get steamrollered by most league 2 sides.

We will be cut adrift by Halloween and there’s no way- even with a new gaffer- we will get out of it. Squad is a complete shambles and they resemble nothing of a league 2 team. Changing formations and bringing in different players is like rearranging the deck chairs in the titanic.

Hypothetical, but if the revenue get’s so low that staff can’t be paid and the owner doesn’t give / lend the funds, a club goes in to administration doesn’t it? If a new owner doesn’t come along it folds doesn’t it?
That’s exactly the road we are heading down. Performances on the pitch are almost irrelevant.
We have budgeted for 3-3,500 fans per game and are currently almost missing a third of projected revenue.

None of our anger should be directed towards the management/players. Cox is a decent bloke who will be hurting as much as us; he appears well out of his depth but that’s not his fault. Nor the players who are clearly trying, but again, just not league standard.
A protest has to be a United from amongst the little supporters there are left. Organised for a certain time and promoted by those with a decent reach on social media The iron bru podcast, Iron trust, max bell etc. Momentum will build if it appears enough are interested.
Personally, I’ve had enough of the laughing stock we’ve become. A non league stint will hurt but it’s always inevitable when you are one of the smaller clubs in the football league, I can live with that. I can’t stand the fact we’ve had our assets stripped for a debt incurred by an egomaniacs spending spree.
SWANN OUT

Carlisle were woeful today and were there for the taking, the management should have been drilling into the players to chase the 3rd but it was obvious that wasn’t the case.
Why couldn’t we play the ball to feet in the middle as we was first half and take the extra touch to find Jarvis who was doing a good job holding the ball up? We have such a weak mentality and you could see the equaliser coming a mile off.
You can’t help individual errors-and Beestin really needs to be having a word himself Tonight- but for me there is a long-standing mentality with a Cox team to sit back 15-20 yards and park the bus whilst hoping for the best as soon as we get a lead.
It’s not good enough.

Just f**king unbelievable. Excellent first half thrown away by the useless management team who don’t know how to kill a game off.

With such a young team and especially after last season it was imperative we got off to a good start. After last season’s dismal runs I have no confidence in Cox to be able to turn it around, his motivational post match bollockings- whilst showing at least he cares- often failed to our form around.
Most importantly I just don’t think we have enough quality to get 2/3 wins on the bounce or sustain any meaningful form. Tranmere aside, we are almost always the second best team on the pitch.
If we end up adrift early doors that will be curtains on 72 years of Football league history.

Agreed. Done hardly anything wrong thus far and worthy in my eyes to keep the number 1 jersey.
Shame it’s such a shitshow elsewhere because this possibly could’ve been a good year for him.
