Been on holiday, while away two victories. Yippee. Back to earth with a bump today. Listened to game on radio, all I can say is Forest and Derby must be really crap. What a thrashing, looks like mid table doldrums for us this season, definitely missing Forster. Oh well two week break for the players to dwell on yet another embarrassing whopping by a so called lower team. No doubt Coppell will protect his players and wrap them in cotton wool defending them from any criticism, get them in for training first thing tomorrow morning I say. It won't happen!

When will Mr Madejeski finally wake up to the fact he has employed a manager who has never achieved anything and not likely to.Sorry Mr Coppell you have lot to learn about being a motivator and both player and fans responsive.If you get down from the stands and really get amongst it and stop this constance patrionising of the management of the opposition and roll your own sleeves up we just might achieve something.

Here we go again! I can't put my finger on what the problem is,or so Mr.Coppell will say.We`re stale,that`s what I think.We don`t appear to have a leader within the club.Just look at the side when we are playing,who is directing,encouraging or motivating the players? Nobody. As for the Manager,he ought to take a deckchair and a drink with him to save him standing all of the second half. After all,he spends the first half sat on his backside,so why should we expect him to be any different in the second half? He seems to have the personality of a plastic duck and as much enthusiasm as a manic depressive. Look around at a lot of the other sides in this division who are near the top. Their manager's show some passion and look as if they want to win, ours looks like he is on his fourth spliff, hey man peace and love, this game is groovy, what day is it?
What happened to the play and move style that made us so exciting and dangerous? Now it`s a case of don`t give it to me ---hoof. We lack a game plan,we lack ideas and we lack the bottle. I wonder if the players really want to gain promotion because most of them would be out of a job as hardly any of them would last in the Premier League. Makes you think,doesn`t it? We will bumble along until the end of the season. The Manager and players will pick up their nice fat pay cheques and see the season out, then have a nice break. To be honest, I think RFC are quite content in the 1st division. They don't want to go to expense of promotion when they can be comfortable in this league.
