    That’s my last one for this season. Can’t face the abject performances lack of any sort of ability to compete and general shiteness. Spent a fair bit of money and left with 15 minutes to go enough is enough.

    I don’t need to read along thread from Red Rain to know that we should be able to compete on and off the pitch with Preston who are a club of very similar size but they are light years ahead of us.

    Came to the away conclusion a while ago. Sad thing is same conclusion i made on home games. I dont think people are against the players, the manager and coaches but the most obvious issue to give us a chance has been ignored - by design.

    You make it sound simple.

    I’m sure it’s not. What we are doing clearly doesn’t work at Championship level so we need to look to clubs of a similar scale that are doing things better. Preston would be one.

    some would say the Peterborough model, sell the players individually before they become a good enough team to get promoted

    Won't be going away and will only attend at home if I have nothing better to do for the time being.

    Yup if you can’t beat em join em. I suspect the money they have just raked in from Callum Robinson 13 millionish will cover those losses.

    Cheers I’m sure you meant that...I suspect you are not a regular away game goer. 8 of us go to pretty much every away game. Sometimes there will be less than a couple of hundred there depending on League. We aren’t the only lot chucking in the towel so individually of course it’s meaningless but collectively of course it matters.

    I think Chien should think **** it, here's 10 million Daniel, go below the ******* lot in January, that will bring us closer to Preston's spending. We'll worry about the wages after.

    Edit

    I must be losing it. I've just repeated what I posted earlier.

    I work in Birmingham and even I'm thinking of just going home after. In reality though I'll trudge to the stadium like a battered wife, knowing what the outcome will be but unable to stay away.

    Yeah, if it was a home game or nearby I'd probably still go out of habit, but the thought of getting home in the early hours and getting up to go to work after another routine beating isn't best appealing.

    Or just not sell all your best players and replace them with maybe / maybe nots (if you replace them at all) just a thought.
