What I'd give to have Benning back. Grant is w*nk.

So we were much better for all of one half then? Sad thing for us that football consists of two 45 minutes and everybody should have been fully aware of what was coming.

 

To be honest, mate 

The table doesn't lie 

We are where we are 

because we are shyte 

[NW9Valiant]

Welp. Complete defensive collapse for the second there. 

I thought there was a lot of positives in our play today, effort and tempo as well. But we are just absolutely toothless up front which is not helping the lads at the back get any sort of confidence at all. 

Grant coming on has not helped us one bit. A striker better than Loft might have put us ahead earlier in the game if they got on the end of the cross.

Why take Mighten off, our best goal threat tonight?

Why take Jones off and replace him with a winger?

Why take Chislett off?

Why is Lowe on the pitch? 

Loft lasted too long, done nothing

Anyway- 0-0 up until the subs, and within 9 minutes after Moore’s inspired substitutions we are 2-0  down.

Sold down the river again by DF, Moore will take us down and we are stuck with him for 5 years.
 

 

Jones was injured (and <ovf censored>). Unfortunately, Grant is even worse. Mighten was knackered. Unsure about Chislett.

Got to say it looks bleak.

Team looks not up to L1 standard.

DM has a massive job on his hands keeping us up.

Hard to comprehend L2 status with 15 games still to go in L1.

Think you should all take a good look at yourselves.

Flitcroft nearly signed 9 strikers and he absolutely smashed every single target Carol retrospectively set for him the other week.

This abuse simply must stop.

Even with our inability to score goals, I reckon we'd have had enough about us to stay up if we had more than 1 recognised (injured) actual full back in the squad.

A lot of positives to take. Lots of negatives too, but we look better. Grant is no full back. Loft can't score. Jones is poo. I think we have enough. Impressed with Weir. Mighten too.

Agree totally. Grant just not up to it for whatever reason.

I’d have a Mighten with no limbs over Gavin Massey.

3-6-15 since September. 

And the 3 wins came in 20 days in December.

The biggest problem at this club right now is Carol. Couldn't care less if people think she's Mother Theresa.

A letter made of sandpaper? Maybe...😆😉

I’d take Zak mills at wing back over Connor Grant. 

[SuperHuman]

We did okay for about 70 minutes but if you can’t keep a clean sheet and don’t look like scoring then it’s a recipe for disaster.
