Yeh agreed that Ashton was an absolute ***** but lansdowns just as much to blame for his incompetence.

how a man that can rise a multi million pound business from the ground can fail so badly at a football club is very confusing 

Don't conflate the ability to amass great wealth with intelligence. These are very, very different business's.

But probably right.....

For the record I thought bobby looked like a talent and someone who could play at a higher level. Also liked Bryan.

Current crop at best a load of L1 players which might be helpful next year if we don’t sort out this mess.

Alex Scott will be a Premier League player within 3 years - IMO.

Not sure you can be fully aware of the standard of player currently in the BFC youth system. Look how many are representing their countries at youth level.

Brentford is a totally different situation to us, they were losing all of their best academy players to other London clubs due to proximity. Therefore not worth running an academy to develop players for other teams.

We on the other hand have less competition in a far larger geographical area. South Wales - Swindon and Cheltenham - Devon.

Blackpool lost 0-2 at home. Maybe they ARE that bad.

They are.

Based purely on results we’re worse. 

With the players NP has had available we are worse in every department - IMO.

Spotlight needs to turned on the current coaching and away from ex managers and club officials.

Poor defending nobody near winning the first ball which had travelled half the pitch and Crooks was left with an easy knock in. NP will rightly be fuming. 

How about the coaching  and organisation ?

I'm starting to worry that there's something seriously wrong behind the scenes at our beloved club if the rumours about Kalas are true. When was the last time 2 senior players have handed in a transfer request at the same time?

Is it just 2 ?

The hope was...better manager...pile of players back from injury...we would be ok or at least better.

Give it ten games. Some signs of improvement v Blackpool, just back to ground zero here. Already worrying.

You forget "get rid of the dead wood", new medical team and back to basics.

Sunderland winning 2-0 away.

Scott isn't of far off being a First team regular, depending on formation - IMO
