This has club has probably deserved to end up in non league for many years now. We have been a circus off and on the pitch for too long. Perhaps now it is eating away at us and we will get our comeuppance. This post is no dig at Carol either, it’s not her fault, she’s just been badly let down and perhaps a touch naive this season. 

Not one player, coach etc has been likeable this season. I don’t feel like cheering on any of them, I just spend 90 minutes criticising each player we have. Even the new manager has an aura of being unlikeable.

We haven’t looked like scoring in 3 games now. Not one moment of excitement. Absolute zero creativity. Not one bit of quality. Headless chickens who might work hard and show energy but offer zero in the final third. 

 

I’ve been a delight.

With 5 at the back we create nothing. Got to go four across and get some width in the team. Desperately missing Worrall. Why Whitehead was chosen over Taylor, who knows. The thing is there will be 5 odd changes now to the team for Saturday so no settles side learning their roles. 

Clarke is apparently renowned for chopping and changing. It never works. I'm worried 5 games in. Original thoughts were he was full of sh*t. I do hope he proves me wrong.

Huff and powder puff.... relying on Hurst to create chances showing again he's not good enough for this level.

Really?

He's played about 17 professional league games EVER.

He was the only positive spark on the pitch tonight.

Very, very very harsh.

Pretty much says it all.

All I hope is Clarke doesn't come out with the Michael Brown classic 

' every game is a cup final ' 

Someone on the texts just said that! It was a Richard not a Michael though

All went a bit Pete tongue when we lost monty and gibbo as wing backs.

It was a much tighter game that I imagined. We just can’t create chances,   It having said that, Salford hardly rained them down on our goal either.

Robinson had a decent first half but did nothing in the 2nd. But then can anyone think of a moment when our forwards did anything? Cullen was practically playing in centre mid and Guthrie...god knows what he was doing, all over the place. 

The only real positive is that DC seems to have forced our defence to play as a tighter unit. I do doubt his ability to turn us into an attacking force however. 

G8 synopsis, we lost !!!! 😂

He's lost the dressing room already !!

just as well we got the goals we did under asked. clark the clown hanging on askeys coat tails . do the the right thing and get rid.

You on crack?

[SuperHuman]

It’s proved to be total madness that Clarke and Flitcroft were appointed in February, after the January transfer window, after Askey was sacked in the first week of January. All the loan signings were a complete waste of time and does Clarke rate Taylor?

We don't win enough to get to a bloody Final......more like 'every game is a Cup 1st round match!'😂

[Sam Kelly's Left Boot]

This time next season we'll probably be looking for a new manager. Shrewd move by Flitcroft to pìss off upstairs out the way.

Literally the only half-decent attacking threat.

Free fall? It’s not looking anymore positive.... absolutely zero cutting edge again...
