Tonight’s results couldn’t really have gone any worse. At least now those fans in denial might accept were **** and are going down fast. The management and owner should hang their heads in shame.

But luckily we have a manager who in his own words “is the best person to get us out of this”. We would be in real trouble otherwise!!!

It will be the usual crap under the 'grilling' he'll get from our Dom. The club is an absolute shambles on and off the pitch.
Same old mistakes and the unbalanced nature of this squad is unforgivable. Simply not good enough and Johnson has to take responsibility but you can bet he won't.

There must be a more forward thinking manager out there willing to start next seasons rebuild. Johnson has lost the fans now. He simply has to go.

No striker on the bench at this stage of the season, I mean WTF is going on ??
I did switch back on at 3-2 , just nonchalantly passing the ball around , where is the pace , fight and urgency , trying for an equaliser against 10 men !!!
It's not as if Solihull are any good , they'd won 3 of their last 15 games !! But we can make anyone look good,

Can we swap managers with torquay womans team, their at the top and know how to keep winning. Couldn't do any worse.

Johnson never does and he never will.....he is wrapped in cotton wool by the owner.
Do the comedians who support him still think he can do a job here ?
Yes the ones that will hide away this evening with internet problems, burying there heads in the sand, far too busy to have an opinion.
Absolute shambles from the recruitment in the summer, Johnsons team remember

Judge him after 10 games, well a pity the clown of an owner didn't.

We are a team woefully lacking in confidence. As soon as Solihull's first goal went in, our heads went.

After half time, we did at least start playing it out from the back, but continued to be reluctant to put the ball in the box. We aren't Barcelona; regardless of how good in the air we are, if you fizz it in at chest height you will get chances.

Once Solihull went down to 10, I actually think we played exactly the right way, moving it side to side, but once we got the goal we just seemed to go within ourselves at the pressure, slowed down, not enough players willing to make supporting runs towards the ball.

Oh, and Dawson + Collins looked dead on their feet from 60 mins, any change is better than no change.

Feel like just throwing one of our big lads up top was a no brainer to cause issues, but we just looked apathetic.

End of the day, though, two goals should win you a game, and defensively we looked so shaky from the flanks, even if Lawrence had a good aggressive game in the middle.

He is a clown too. Maybe sack him and appoint Gary, may be his level now.

On a side note, does anyone know what the words between Downes and Lapslie with the supporters were at the end?

Even the match report on BBC Sport was amazing !!

Apparently Sammy Collins tested their keeper in the first half

Would have been a Miracle if that was true !!

But if it was Sammy, the keeper would have been picking the ball out of the net

these interviews are beyond depressing now, are they just showing the same interview over and over again.

lose Saturday which is likely (corrie andrews a certainty to score) we will likely be 9 points adrift, that is relegated, i mean even now 6 points i feel we are already down.

how have we not recruited anyone this week with jarvis not playing, what on earth is going on?

When we were top of the league and Danny Wright got injured we didn’t bother to replace him, so why break the habits of a lifetime now?
In Gary we trust??
