It seems that Paul Merson lost the last of the goodwill he had with the fans after the poor performance at Swindon in the week. One can only assume now that he has lost the players too, as this afternoon’s pathetic performance at Brentford must surely end his tenure at Bescot.

With 44 players used and all of the promises of promotion broken, this was a pathetic shambles of a performance, the sort which led to his resignation, rejected at the time, after the Colchester game last season.

If he doesn’t resign after this, then the Chairman must act and hand him his P45.

For the record, the final score was 5 - 0 and we hardly had an attack, never mind a shot.

Upthesaddlers.com has no hesitation in calling for a change of Manager, before we end up in the bottom tier of the League.
