What you taking about?

Same tactics as 1st half  when we were the better team. We  had zero midfield without Garrity. What else could he have done?

We had enough really good ch aces to win 2 games. That’s not the managers fault not putting the ball on the net.

 

I don’t know what game you watched. But defo hook in for opticians pronto!

I was content with how things were going until that Tolaj sub which is just baffling to me. Unless he picked up a knock and he certainly didn’t look like he did there is no reasoning for it. Was calling out for Paton on along Tolaj and insufficient time at sure we’d have opened them but alas not.

He will never play Paton & Tolaj as a pairing. It’s January, if it’s not happened yet it’s not going to. Can’t stand the lone striker he persists with. It stinks

When Garrity went off we lost the midfield. I can only hope Byers is back soon as we are crying out for a player in the centre of the park to dictate a game. Keeping Lowe and letting Ojo go out on loan for me was a massive error. 

Who is this Byers you talk of ?

Come on. He took Tolaj off. That is the managers fault surely? He left making the attacking change in Paton until the last 5 minutes. They had as many chances as us especially in that 2nd half. 

Without knowing the background of Tolaj fitness on the face of it that was a bizarre decision.

Absolute dog shyte it's bin like that for the last month and a half and it's not going to change unless the manager goes

Need to find our scoring boots again. 

Enjoyed watching Tolaj and Curtis; they'd be first names for me next week - along with Garrity. 

Amos played well too. 

Would love us to find a way of having Stockley, Tolaj, Curtis and Paton on the park at the same time. 

Don't know how that would look on paper.

BPV, I’m not sure we need to do much business, if anything just change the manager.

I’d disagree, I’d say we need a striker, CM and ball-playing CB as I can’t see us abandoning 3 at the back anytime soon. And players who, ideally, aren’t injury prone!! That would make a welcome change!

Moore will prob drop them though mate 

5300 on New Year's Day, truly shocking !!

All this nathan smiths not good on ball nonsense he does everything you want your centre half to do im telling you now it would be a massive mistake if we let him go in January because to find someone with his level of consistency and professionalism to replace him will be bloody hard to do. With the donkeys we have at the back hes been criminally underused this year.

So? You really think if we could give Moore £5m he would do anything? We have a decent squad now, one that is underperforming massively, a decent manager would get this squad promoted. 

Exactly mate.

Listened to Brian calling in on Radio Stoke.

He has said exactly how I feel, the manager is clueless and bringing the club to its knees.

The crowd is dwindling and if he stays they will be lucky to get 3500.

So what your saying is you don’t know because you can’t answer the question.

Thats just blah blah blah general rhetoric, nothing about todays game.

The manager sets us up with 5 at the back every game he looks to nick a result or bore the pants off us and play out stalemates every game , I don't get how you can't see what's right in front of you 

He's got to go or the attendances will start to decrease rapidly you might be content to watch that.tripe week in week out and pay good money for it but I'm bloody not so the ball is in the owners court now to make a decision 

Edited January 1, 20251 yr by Nippy Naylor

The football is so boring.
Why would I give up £24 to go and watch us play for a 0-0 and try and nick a goal from a set piece?

Well who saw that coming? Zzzzzz.

Grimsby had the worst home defence record - clean sheet against us.

Cheltenham concede 5 in their last game - clean sheet against us.

Carol hasn't learned her lessons clearly.

Let's drag it on for another 10 games, drop further, then make a change with the season over.

y average aftternoons work. ,did he  Win any balls in oppositions  No , didn't do much wrong but then he didn't have too as   there threats was coming from Thomas on other side .

Let's just say we were lucky get a 0

Too many defenders. for me they picked up every second ball as game went on and that's because we got 3 central defenders 2. Of them marking no one just clapping and doing little else.
