We look like a team that’s been cobbled together with a bunch of players out of position that has no pattern of play and isn’t used to playing together. Which is exactly what we are.

It’s not the first time someone’s gone straight down the tunnel. At least he acknowledged all those that shook his hand. Probably as frustrated as we are. Who knows how this is affecting him? Such a stupid comment that is.

I actually feel for him. It’s easy to slag him off and give him abuse. I highly doubt he wants to play crap and cost the team like he has tonight.

We've killed ourselves really with our own mistakes.

The commentator just said “Grant doesn’t know where he is”. Not sure if he meant the player he was marking or Grant himself.

I wouldn’t go so far to say that he burst on to the scene. For me none of the kids have been consistent enough or arguably good enough to keep starting regularly. That’s purely because of their age and inexperience. It’s more a dig at our overall recruitment as to why that’s happened.

You are mad if you think this guy has had a 16 year career by being s h l t e. Not his fault we bought him in and play him where we do.

Poor from Walters not getting closer.

Is he out of contract this summer?

He shouldn’t be playing yet. Needs to go out and develop at a lower level.

Surprised we’ve gone with Lowe against Mason Clark.

Even though some players have let us down this season I wouldn’t be so quick to write them all off and hail this new lad given the level hes played at so far in his career. It could be genius or it could be a disaster.

You remind of someone who used to post on here very recently 🤣🤣

If we’re not safe beforehand then the best we can hope for is that on the last day it’s in our hands to stay up.

Stats as it is and I think a point is a good result. Especially as those above and around are losing.

Sang as the right centre half??

Concerned about the defence here, especially in the full back areas.

Despite our ground having fantastic facilities in the Lorne street, decent concourse in the Hamill, being a bigger capacity, all seated and nice flat tarmac…. it just proves that it doesn’t really matter where we go and watch our teams. Their smaller ground arguably generates a decent atmosphere, especially being standing and crammed in, yet I’m sure they aren’t much different to us in terms of attendances. We are struggling with the move of home fans to generate a decent atmosphere (maybe that’s down to the performances on the pitch too). But that’s by the by because their owners have put the money where it counts, on the pitch. And it will probably see them safe. But not only the forward players, I’ll say it til I’m blue in the face, we have no decent fullbacks or wingbacks, we should have brought Gibbo back in too even if only til the end of the season. Rumour was he was set to rejoin permanently in August but it fell through. So why, knowing where we stood in fullback and forward areas didn’t we strengthen? Personally i think it was a money issue because we didn’t even strengthen anywhere, especially up front which was probably more important. Granted Cambridge is a more desirable area of the country to live in to attract players, but still our owners dropped the ball massively this last 18months. We might look at clubs like Cambridge who on the surface based on facilities are “smaller”, but I don’t think clubs like that necessarily are, they probably just have their priorities a bit more straight than our owners have recently.

It might have made us worse for the Northampton game, but I wouldn’t be worried about driving players away just because they’ve been subbed, it’s part of the job, he has to live with that. But on the balance of things since the turn of the year he’s offered us very little. He needs to up his game and that’s a lesson he needs to learn.

Cheltenham play Burton and Carlisle within a week of each other. If Cheltenham beat them 2 then I think we’re done. Suddenly asking us to win 3 out of 6 is a tall order for a team who have struggled to win 3 since the turn of the year.

I wasn’t replying to you about Clarke, I quoted another post not yours. So you think Chislett is deserving of a place despite not doing anything this year? I don’t. Shorrock is nowhere near ready yet IMO. Plant has had no impact.

Personally I don’t think that Plant or Clarke have done much for us this season even when fit. I think before we started people were excited by the signings of Sang, Clarke and Grant. But none of them have done well as wing backs IMO. We’ve had a stinker in recruitment in that area, an area that let’s not forget is key to how we setup and play. None of them are that decent defensively IMO. Aside from the first half Saturday, I can’t remember Chisletts last good game, people might say he’s scored this many goals and got this many assists, but for me he’s been out of form for months and hasn’t warranted a place.

Sad but true. They’ve lost sight of what’s important.

Players were out there, we just didn’t get them in. Cambridge also went and signed a full back in Gibbo who by the looks of it played left wing back for them this last few games. Another position we needed strengthening in.

It seems such a tall order to win at least 2 or 3 games, but then we have to hope that Cheltenham don’t pick up points with their games in hand. I think it’s going to come down to 4 out of the current bottom 5 sides. Cambridge, reading and Shrewsbury on 45 and 46 probably only need another win to be safe.
