TBF, Wally didn't get the support after the great escape. Slashed budget.

He should have stayed in his original job in our academy. Whoever decided to put him as first team manager got it wrong. They’re the folk that still celebrate their own success to this day.

Relegation and burning a very decent bloke’s reputation.
Indeed, Trig. Last time we went to PL two such gents, both over 6' were looming over the little programme seller lady at the entrance as if they were part of some reception committee. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to embarrass her.

Robbo didn't get the support he needed. With backing we might have avoided relegation. Not sure what went on at Burton but here's hoping he's back on track because he's a lovely bloke.

I’d say I was glad that those same people aren’t running the club today but hey I’m not blind. Just because you have “ex board member” on your social media profile doesn’t mean you’re not still part of the clique and can hang around worm-tonguing with the same access and literally dropping your litter outside the DT cabin for some other sucker to pick up and hopefully put in the recycling bin two metres away.

Pop quiz hotshots - name the current DT Board members without looking them up You can’t.
Yeah fair enough. That’s what an agent is there to do, mainly. And looking back maybe Robbo should have taken the advice. Football is fickle and fragile. His stock was high and he had had an excellent feature on TV which we all celebrated. Fair play he took the “my club” approach and absolutely justified in doing so because he’d been here for so long but it didn’t work out - wasn’t obvious that it wouldn’t but was a surprising deterioration into relegation.

Hindsight shmindsight but if he’s trebled his wages and still failed then he’d be richer and back with us (under weird circumstances/comms) anyway. The fact that we didn’t improve one bit after he left suggests that it was an entire club failure but people had a pint and isn’t that what it’s all about?
We didn't seem to support him at all, Silk. (Not necessarily saying he was the right man for the job, but). I remember him asking for some sort of mentoring/older and wiser head sort of support very early on and they just seemed to ignore him.

TF - sorry for the typo. I mean the agent suggested he should walk away from us before the bad run set in.

Seen a video which suggests that Tottenham's new stadium is a millstone round their neck and is hindering the club due to debt. If they go out the Premiership they could be fucked for a long time financially. Now where have I heard that before.

Saw another video where Mark Robinson's agent suggested he walked away from us.
The problem with the fact that Exeter and Blackpool have to play each other is a probability that one will get three points from it.
22nd Mar 2026 21:50:47
[195.lo.gg.ed]
Agreed with whoever mentioned how bad it is that Exeter took 6 points off us this season.
The three goners at the bottom (Vale, Rotherham & Northampton) have accumulated less than one pt/per game, so assume they'll all end up around low 40s unless they find a second wind. Exeter & Blackpool are favs for the last place and are on 1.1pt per game, so could comfortably reach 50. They play each other on Good Friday

52 is probably the answer as in Hitchhiker's Guide +10
Nobody appears to have noticed but the East stand advertising hoardings have gone kaput! Those by the South & North are still functionable and blinding (evening games) but they're not in my face so much. Great news and may the issue be terminal ...

I think we have the talent in this squad to get over the line. Really talented bunch.

Hopefully a couple of those games, teams won’t have things riding on it. Eg we don’t want Wigan needing points to avoid the drop or Huddersfield needing points for play offs

I’d like another 2 points from the remaining 8 fixtures. None of them are obvious wins and some of them are probably lose. This stage of the season always throws up some surprises. Top teams get the yips. Teams that had a sniff of playoffs miss out and lose motivation. Poor teams find a fire in their belly.

Should be fine but would like to get 2-3 more points to be sure.
I've aimed at 52 for a long time, 50 would be borderline imo

Question for everyone. Do you think we have enough points already to avoid the drop (just say hypothetically we lost every game). I think Blackpool may get 50+ but not sure about Exeter
22nd Mar 2026 20:01:12

How did we lose 6 points to them?

Personally I think they'll meet the targets quite comfortably
Arsenal fans evacuating their end (in many senses of the phrase) and looking relatively even more classless as a result.
