    Well almost. This has got to be upthere as one of the poorest I have witnessed in watching the Reds for over 50 years. So now we will go into one of the most important close seasons with the future of the club at stake. Unless the fans see major changes in the staff and not just the players I do fear for the future. After all the times we have been let down and deceived with false promises I am not optimistic. Yet I will renew my season ticket and hope that September 1st brings changes in playing staff, coaching staff, DOF etc because 6wins in 23 homegames and signings in the January transfer window which were bizarre and totally inadequate have led to a disenchanted, demoralised shrinking fanbase.

    They need to bring in someone who can sort out the defence very early on.

    The season isn’t over. Don’t we usually play Bolton now, or are we not doing that this year?

    Aye, Reading. Needing to win and needing to win BIG.

    Who better than Barnsley to drop upon.

    Could be carnage.

    It's been horrible. Can't remember the last time I was genuinely glad a season was over.

    Can we negotiate some form of settlement?

    I hope they are reading some books on how to organise a defence.

    Summat by Stonewall Jackson or Marshall Zhukov preferably.

    Yep, if they’d been allowed to hand pick an opponent for the last day they’d surely have picked us.

    Amazing that a club that’s managed to mess up its ownership and still put out a better side than us over a season. Shows how embarrassing we have become,

    I see the resolute Peterborough who we failed to get the better of last Saturday are already 3-0 down to the mighty Mansfield

    Would that be the Mansfield who did the double over us?
