I would have taken a "top half" finish at the beginning of the season. WHY?

3 wins and a draw required really. 5 games to do it in, be a tough ask

Sorry but this is nowhere near good enough. The football is patience testing wank. We just seem happy to set up for a draw every week. Half of the team don’t look arsed and while crowds are okay currently with zero entertainment value how long before they drop?

The football in the last 3 home games has been woeful.

You can't win games if you don't score. 4 games without a goal.

Nothing short of a disgrace. Some of them didn’t want to know.
Teams have figured us out after second time around this year.
Not Cal out, but it’s the first time I’m really starting to question him tactically

There needs to be serious words going on tonight and this week over recent performances. It's just not good enough at this stage of the season at all. You can gloss over it as much as you want, but no wins in 7 games, no goals scored in over 300 minutes of football says it all.

Don't know about you lot, but I feel 35k would have lured a quality finisher to this level. Cal isn't the one on the pitch missing chances on net. As for Cal out, who will you replace him with? He's a young manager, he's learning. We have some dullards on here

Probably not going to make the play-offs. We need a clear out for next season. Too many sub-standard performances in this last third of the season.

2nd best defence in the league but even a team in the relegation zone has scored more than us it doesn't take genius to see what's wrong 47 goals in 41 games gets you fuck all

Too narrow today again. Relying on a centre half and a defensive full back to provide width and crosses. Despite our lack of width still only one or two in the box to finish. We are set up to nick games by the odd goal but this season we've been losing by the odd goal.
Incredibly frustrating but we'll only win the playoffs if we're playing well and we'll have to be playing well to qualify for them.

That was a total and utter waste of time and money. We do exactly the same things that haven't worked for weeks, and seem desperate to slow the game down. Are the lads on bonuses for getting throw ins?
I get that Cal is a nice guy, gets the club, young manger etc etc, but he is not getting the best out of this team. Every match we get worse as it goes on. Did anyone think we would score at any point today?

You can't win games if you don't score. 4 games without a goal. Not sure where to start. No movement, far too many sideways and back passes, no cutting edge. We seem to want to walk the ball into the net. No width at all. Our crosses and corners are woeful and the amount of passes that went astray was shocking. We cannot create clear cut chances and cannot score. That match was a mind numbing watch. Playoffs? No way! We are just not good enough. We have been found out by teams that come here. We need a clear out in the summer because apart from a few this team is not doing it

For what it worth, I thought we were better than the last 2 home games today, not hard I know with the midfield playing ok, thought Glendon, Weeks and Murray all had decent games today. Unfortunately it's the same old safety first, no natural width and centre forwards lacking any composure in the 18 yard box that's killed us today. They were always going to get a chance second half, and Blackett had the composure to finish it. I lost count of the snatched opportunities today, or the ball getting under people's feet in the box. Can't blame the manager for that, but I do blame him for the style, formation and the set up. We have been found out, and Callum either refuses to change or doesn't think he has the players to change.

That was serious dog shit yet again and the season is now drifting towards an utterly depressing end. Its the sheer inevitability about our lack of cutting edge which is so deflating. Where is the heart and desire from last season where we go so many late goals? Whilst I'm not a Cal out 'fan' I do find it alarming that we continue to play the same turgid and ineffective midfield game and game. Everyone can see it isn't working. Whitehouse was particularly useless today and I think he needs leaving out next week. Grendon was also crap and did nothing. As for the forwards, they do nothing but are living off scraps as we barely get it in the area. The delivery into the box is shite time and time again. Totally depressing afternoon with no plus points.

It was a team effort though last season although I agree we are missing the goal threat of him massively
