Let's be quite honest, we are all fked - perpetually fked, potentially fked, fked from within, fked from without, recovering from being recently fked, recovering from being historically fked, fking ourselves - the joy of being a lower league supporter.

Kinky-what do you make of Jake Jervis?

Personally? I don't, at all.

And I'm not alone in that. We all keep joking about running a fund-raiser, to get enough to pay off his loan fees and hand him back to Luton!

As I said, the ones that really excites me are Connolly, and Ramsdale (only on loan sadly).

He didn’t perform for us either-still waiting for his first goal for us I think! Not great for a striker.

Long time suffering Ipswich Town supporter.

How have fans taken to the manager ?
He's managed at both Norwich and Colchester,your most hated clubs.

[Pericoloso]

Wheels back on at Colchester ,4-0 up with 20+ minutes still to play at Northampton ,one goal from one of the new boys.

I see wheels have come off at MK too a bit ,not that anyone cares.

now how about winning 2 in a row chaps ?......please.

Haha, go fk yourself Tisdale. Completely out thought and out fought by Exeter City’s fledgling manager today in as one sided a game as you’re likely to see all season. One of the more satisfying results against the deluded bulb, and also rather amusing that it was thought that we’d be relegation candidates if he left.

Football’s great at times!

How did the mass display on both stands go?

[Antony Moxey]

Is that really the best you can come up with?

[Tyre Smoke]

Well? How did it go?

[Antony Moxey]

No idea, I was in that stand so couldn’t see. Regardless, we’re now on 50 points: genuine relegation candidates then, eh?

Would love it if you went up.

I'm a big fan of Nathan Jones and think he will be a top manager one day, and if he can turn Stoke around plus you get promoted, fantastic.

It's rarely ever dull, that's for sure! Looks like being a very exciting run in.

COYH.

Think most Luton fans are hoping he crashes and burns at Stoke!

Me? I’m in the middle-his timing wasn’t great, all the chest beating now looks a bit crass, but there’s no denying he got us playing good football and took us on another level where John Still couldn’t.

I do wish more Luton fans would let his departure go-its happened, let’s move on together (with an absolute club legend and gentleman in charge at the moment) and hopefully get promoted. We’re in incredible form, let’s not spoil it by looking back, which to be fair to the players and staff, it doesn’t seem like they are (if anything it’s galvanised the club even further).

It’s also no coincidence our awesome run started when Steve Rutter arrived as coach, so I do think a lot of the brains weren’t exclusively Jones’.

I’d fear more losing players like Justin, Collins, Bradley and Pearson than the loss of the manager.

That's fair enough. I can see why the chest-beating would grind though, but he wouldn't have known about Stoke then and he is the sort of bloke that gives 100% all the time. Not seen a more passionate player at Yeovil for decades; he had seven years with us as player then assistant manager and the feeling is that we have missed out big time here. He left us when he found himself fourth in line on the coaching staff behind Gary Johnson, Terry Skiverton and Darren Way. A lot of people reckoned (including me) that he should have been Johnson's number two but it never happened and he left to go to Charlton, I think it was. His reason for leaving was that being that far back in line was going to stunt his growth as a manager and you can't help feeling that seeing where he is now, and where we are now, he was spot on.

Re Rutter, he was Yeovil manager in the early 1990's. Always clear to see he was destined for a higher plane... he was 26 or 27 at the time and had to manage on buttons as the club nearly went bust due to a bodged stadium move. He was Head of our Academy as recently as last year but our clueless manager suggested he be released as clearly he was looking to be a threat to his own job. Another one that will sail a lot higher than bloody Yeovil Town.

See Lee Johnson, Gavin Williams, Paul Warne for three more examples.

Rutter is quite clearly a switched on cookie; I’m surprised he’s not been at least considered for the vacancy. With how well things are going you’d think it would work!

[GloverMart]

Our 15 years in the Football League is coming to an end.

Took us 108 seasons to get there and now, we are leaving with a whimper. And it's down to the fkwit of a manager and the tts on the board who gave the tt a contract after our worst ever FA Cup defeat to Stockport County.

Another 4-1 defeat tonight, discipline is an issue with two reds in the last two games before tonight and multiple bookings this evening as Oldham thrashed us.

fk off out of my club tomorrow, board and manager both.

You're "only" 4th bottom Mart ,shouldn't be so pessimistic yet....

Kinky's old Wimbledon manager is most at risk at Notts County......
