“The happy clappers are always the first ones to dip out - they generally jump on a bandwagon but disapear as soon as the bad times hit home...the 'moaning' dies hards go whatever.
As for Nunez - he is back at Leeds now, he wont be coming here. Knills appointment took the pressure off the board, job done....no better or worse than Baraclough.”

“I am hoping that the board show a bit of ambition and sign out of contract Ramon Nunez, he alone would put 600 or 700 on the depleted gates next season, beleive me, they will certainly need it, and he is one player that is good to watch, this cannot be said about many of the other players.
It will be interesting to see who is offloaded this week, taking a guess it may be:-
MURPHY, MURFIN, J WRIGHT, BYRNE, JONES, CANAVAN THOMPSON and REYNES, most of these players are permanently injured anyway, so might as well offload them and get in a few players that WANT to play for the club.
Like many others, a season ticket holder awaiting what kind of team we have before deciding if it is worth renewing the ticket, because we will not put up with the type of rubbish that we witnessed this season, and even the HAPPY CLAPPERS have vanished from the scene.
UP THE IRON”

“Baraclough could have got us where? Al's correct that it wasn't just those that jumped ship that could see the squad wasn't up to the job. Unfortunately too many supporters were happy to be blinded to the realities, and didn't demand any sort of action was taken to address the obvious deficiencies in the squad.”

“To be honest they weren't the only ones to see ahead, buf there was ignorance from some fans with the likes of McCann. As regards Forte he was just lucky. How many breaks does he get. More than the average.Still, let's hope we can build positively in the summer, although i would be surprised if we got Ajose. Wonder what will happen now on the Hoskins situation? i do believe we will be there or thereabouts and when you look at the comparisons in teams the sooner we get back the better. Good luck.”

“Rock Bottom !! What a humiliation .... Baraclough could have got us there. We need a serious clear out even to stay in League 1, never mind come back up. I see Sparrow, McCann, Forte & Adkins could all be in The Championship instead of us .... do you think they knew something?”
