Not a fan of Fish and Chips, then? :)

League One is a weird one. You’ve got clubs like Rotherham (and Wigan and Millwall previously) who were good, solid, competent promotion teams, but who struggle to compete with the moneyed clubs when you go up. I think Charlton also fall into this category. Then you've got the slumming giants like Sunderland and Ipswich, down through incompetence and struggling to turn it around.

At the other extreme, you've got the small, well-run clubs like ourselves, Wycombe, Accrington, AFC Wimbledon and Shrewsbury. We're always among the favourites to go down, on size alone we should go down, but there's always a Bradford, Scunthorpe or Oldham about to have a "mare" and fill a relegation slot.

Mind you, Wycombe are flying this season. I'd love to see the reaction of certain defenders to having to circumnavigate Akinfenwa at set pieces if they do make it up!
Wycombe a well run club? They’re crying out for cash and crying poverty every week. They’ve just spent £250k of cash from a prospective owner who they’ve just rejected a takeover from. Now they’ve got to find it and pay it back!

I can take losing.
I can take relegation.

I'm finding it bloody hard taking the way we are doing it though.
Why on earth has Jones done this to us?

It would have been nice to have seen the team that got us promoted having a go...
I wonder where we’d be now?

Wouldn't have happened though, as we were always going to lose Justin and Stacey, and they are pretty much impossible to replace.
I just can't believe what a mess Jones is making. Recent performances have been so painful to watch, I was cringing watching today's game. Awful.
With the mess that he has gotten us into it's not as if we can hope to come straight back next season.
Oh well.

As you say DJs “oh well”

Was worth it for the amazing season that was last season. Don’t think I’ve enjoyed a season as much as I did that one.

I don’t like the way football has changed recently...
The premiership will soon end up with teams that have stadiums that can cater for 30000 plus...
The championship will only sustain teams who attract regular 20000 to 30000 attendances...
The rest of us will find our natural place with the flotsam and jetsam that populate the other divisions...
We can’t attract players or managers of any high quality under the current conditions and prohibitions that the kenny allows...
The new stadium will help...but it won’t be
In time to stop our demise back to the old day’s...can we attract 20000 in league 2 ??
God forbid...
