Oh, and people happy with that showing shows how far standards have fallen.

Running around a bit and passing the ball to another teammate should be the absolute minimum.

Moore out. Clueless.

I stayed to the end 
Dm was clapped off 
Not where I was. The players were clapped but not Moore. He was booed and also the Stand were singing about his boring football.

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 not a bloody chance so the ball is in the owners court now 

He can’t see that’s why nippy naylor! 
 

no point knocking when there’s no one at home……

We saw today the lad is a centre forward...number 9. Raw and frustrating at times but first time in ages he brought us chances. We should stay with him even when Stockley is ready. This chap will score and give chances if allowed to play.

He won’t play him now for about 4 games. Probably only get 10 mins at the end then as well when we’re 2-0 down. Disgraceful management

Listening to RS.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ MOORE, ALERT⚠️⚠️⚠️

🧏‍♂️ 😱😱😱🧏‍♂️ 

“YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MUST TAKE     COVER IMMEDIATELY”

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!
That depends who the manager is. Personally I think Moore is clueless.

The formation and performance was better today. At last he played Tolaj upfront, but it's taken half of the season. Tolaj and Curtis looked a good pairing. I'm not surprised they were not as ruthless as they should have been. Tolaj should have played up front far more by now.

There were a few good performances but I'm sure he will change it again. Clarke had a good game at Grimsby but he didn't get in today.

Suspect you are right but hope you are not. Moore's management has let us and the players down massively.

He talks like he manages- boring 

I have been more positive than most recently, but I'm really disenchanted after that. We had Garrity back and were playing a poor side, who have a shocking away record and conceded 5 at home to Notts last game. I cannot get excited about failing to score, again, against a side who were all at sea only a few days ago. 

We looked a bit better, but large swathes of the games were drab, flat, nothing football. There was the odd decent passage, largely involving Tolaj. His omission from the line-up in this lean spell looks even more stupid after that.

To then sub him was utter lunacy - the crowd reaction was completely justified. We lost all presence up front, had no outlet, and were effectively penned in as a winger and a teenager got bullied for the last 20. I don't think a single person in the ground would have done that, bar Moore. You keep your dangerous forwards on - it really isn't that tricky. We created one effort after that, with a lot of tumbling and flailing around in the box.

I'm shifting to wanting Moore gone. We've had a season's worth of games now and he's making ridiculous mistakes. It's boring, flat stuff, and when he belatedly does the right thing, he undoes it through awful substitutions. He's now sub 30% win ratio, which is appalling. I'd rather appoint someone positive and accept we might finish 11th this season (with a more long-term view) then be subjected to this clownery any longer. If we did fluke our way into League 1, we'd be down without a whimper. I'm not seeing any style of play or plan, and only seeing more and more quite obvious managerial errors.

Expensive mistake. He doesn't win enough games to justify the tedium, and causes his own problems. We might have to stick with him till May, but beyond that let's identify who we are (aggressive, physical, high-pressing), appoint a manager to deliver that, and be content that whilst promotion might not happen right now, it'll come with time and we'll be miles better for it.

Crap.
