Experienced players letting their reputations go up in smoke; guys making the step up showing that no-one will ever take a chance on them above League One again.
The big bad wolf has gone, now the players need to stand up. They should be ashamed of their performance and fortitude this season.

Apparently we will lose our better players if we go down... ;-)
Pride doesn't come into it, they are all proud and most of them experienced but the reality is they were never good enough but were held together by other players that have now sadly gone. They are now playing to their capabilities which is not of the level of those they are competing against.
Its sad and the only thing that is more upsetting is seeing the Town go down in smoke with a small tickly cough and a little splutter. As supporters we knew the defense was bad even before the season started but players were not replaced and positions that we had options for were needlessly filled with no better players than the standard we already had.

We just need a magic wand that can be waved so they take chances or don't make costly mistakes. That seems to be a confidence issue as a result of being rock bottom of the table.

They're playing OK and no lack of effort either.

The other problem when in this death spiral is every mistake seems to be punished. We make two mistakes in a match and the opposition score from both; a team at the top make two mistakes and the opposition more likely than not scuff the shot or skew wide.

I think there simply not good enough. Too many weak links and although we can look tidy at times we don’t heve the quality when it matters.
There is effort as you say and it’s obviously hurting. As long as there’s effort it’s hard to fault them. It’s not their fault we bought them and they don’t pick themselves.
Just our recruitment ‘strategy’ catching up with us compounded by Hurst’s catastrophic summer window.

Though Burton weren’t good enough on paper either but they battled, fought and scrapped to the final whistle of every game. They went down with pride and their dignity in tact.
