The later posters on this thread seem to be talking quite a bit more sense IMHO. Yes, it was a dire performance, I think we're all agreed on that, but it came at the end of a great run, which has boosted the team's confidence for the run-in. This one has to be seen as just a "bad day at the office". Players don't play badly on purpose. Chris Turner was missed, yes, but that was no-one's fault, even though it did affect the balance of the side. Incidentally, why attack Rocky and Cav, when the goals came straight down the middle?

My feeling is that Proccy and Ryan were left with too much to do closing down the middle of the park - mainly because (a) Bobby Grant didn't really look up to this level (He's young, though, and could get better) and (b) John Miles - a potential matchwinner - chose to have one of his "disinterested" days - and that is always liable to happen!

However, it's not the end of the world, however poor it was on the day. There's a lot of talent at the club, so let's get behind them and give 100% support for what's left of the season.

If people choose not to buy season tickets for next year, then so be it, that's their prerogative. However, to make that decision on the strength of one performance seems to me to be a little short-sighted.
