Do we just need better hoofball type players?  Hope Clarke is in the process of eliminating what works and what doesn't,  but our pitch works great for teams who know how to use the space so I hope he doesn't resort to that crap as a way to play, even if it is early days.

If it works I don’t care at this point, I just want wins. Problem is we’re playing hoofball with two midgets up top who can’t win any headers.

I have to say, I was one of those asking for 5-3-2 but we don’t have the players for it at all.

The midfield three that finished are just not suited at all to that system and neither, perhaps surprisingly, did Monty and Gibbo look particularly comfortable in it.

Yes, we looked solid at all he back but the distribution was awful. 

I dread to think what midfield we’ll have out on Saturday.

Two abysmal teams fighting it out. Utter dross. We are very much in the relegation scrap despite the points gap. Our next few games are very very tough.

Back 3 looked very good however, Crookes looked the best I've seen him.

Could be that we only played a bottom six team. Poor team at that

It was clear to see after 20 minutes that 3-5-2 actually turned out to be 5-3-2. Added to that we had Joyce playing as a holding midfielder.

What disappointed me is that we never changed formation and just stuck with it. We could have gone 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 with 30 minutes to go and actually tried to lay a glove on them. 

It was as if we actually wanted to draw that game 0-0. Yes we need to tighten up and stop clean sheets but we were playing Stevenage at home, come on.

Dont believe that was a negative set up. 532 negative set up would have played Mills and Fitzpatrick.

We had our best two full backs for attacking.

We had two attacking midfielders

We had two up front.

Problem being we were awful, against a bottom six team

Not having that. Gibbons barely got past the half way line. Conlon has clearly been told to be conservative and hold his position. The back 3 or 5 were ridiculously deep.

I think one of the reasons the 3 centre backs played well tonight was because we had 3 yes 3 of them against Stevenage. We played in a way that our spare man was a centre half whilst we were overun in midfield. I don't think any of the midfielders could hold their heads high after tonight's performance but there was probably a reason for that.

We play like a poor team because we are a poor team. Watch our games if you are in any doubt, or even check our league position if you are still unsure.

6 points from last 8 games under Askey, 9 points in 8 games since he left.  He has left us a load of rubbish which is going to take a long time to recover from, saying that no excuse for that tonight, it was awful.
If you are going to say that you have to take into account that 2 of the 8 games since he has left have been against Southend and Grimsby.
