Christ this is sounding like one PB’s last games in charge the first time around..

The damage was already done with that last poor manager.

Have we had a shot yet?

Don’t know, but I’m going to be on the shots soon at this rate ???

Silver lining here is that Ron can stop his stupid delusions and actually plan for non League next season rather than sitting on his hands waiting for the inevitable.

The most irritating ****ing thing about that zoom meeting was the fact that Ron acted like he’d only just realised we were in danger of going down

The only positive is nearly every player won't be here next season.

You say that as if we are going to end up with better...

We are winning nothing in the air up front yet that seems to be our only tactic. Typical that Nouble was a donkey with us and here he is a different player. If I see Ferguson strolling about or ballwatching once more, I will go spare!! I don't see us coming back and that, sadly , will be that.

Halford, Olayinka and Egbri on at half time so we can give it a ****ing good go. Goodship just isn’t a league player.

I’m ****ing devastated. We’ve literally reached rock bottom

Not sure we have reached rock bottom yet, give it time.

This has been woeful.

Ron thoroughly deserves non league. He is a ****ing disgrace.

Us fans don't.

Utter madness that the last time I watched us live was in league 1 and the next in the national league.

Oh well, at least Ron can make some more money by building a few more flats and retail units on the piece of land once earmarked for a football stadium at Fossetts Farm.

Mission accomplished.

And may the f****r rot in hell sooner than later

Well, he's done no planning so far. Why change?

They don't. The majority won't be here next season.

Here goes the first thread for this. Shorter list for who stays me thinks.

At least it will hopefully mean PB won't hang around to drag us into even more financial trouble while churning out toss lime this

It's not phil brown tho is it? The players are crap and not up to it simple! Mm was useless and he couldn't get a tune out of them and now brown cant either! These players ain't good enough to be pro footballers !!

OrangeyBrown · Apr 20, 2021

Looking forward to another Ron statement throwing blame all over the place. Just like he did with Bond, Campbell, Powell and PB.

When you go through that many managers and all of them fail, you have to start wondering what's wrong with the setup at the club that gives them all such a problem. It comes from the top.

Nobody is getting a tune out of this shower of s**t. The point is that MM put it together, PB has to make something of it. New manager bounces come along when players are actually worthy of their league status.

Has the narrative changed already? Only yesterday people were going on about how PB's attacking 0-0 performances were proof that this squad is good enough and it was only MM's tactics that were to blame for where we are.

jackj13 · Apr 20, 2021

You can blame Ron all you like (that’s a conversation for another day) but the attitude of these players in the 1st half is a disgrace. One of our biggest matches and biggest Essex derbies in our history and they really look like the couldn’t give a ****.

The most useless bunch of players we have ever had

MisterStubbs · Apr 20, 2021

Let’s have it absolutely right, this lot are where they are in the table because they are also a **** team and yet tonight we are making them look like prime Super League candidates. I’m ****ing done with this lot.
