JS, I remember watching a game of dominoes in The Knave, that went into injury time. Very entertaining.

The Knave, injury... three words that belong to each other...☠️🔨🗡️

A turgid 0-0 draw at home to a mid-table team? 

First time that Cheltenham have failed to score away this season, a slight consolation.

If we are out of contention for automatic promotion I think that’s when he would be gone because he’s failed.

 

He's failed already, and we've got no chance of  automatic promotion or making  the play offs based on current form and performances we'll be mid table by the end of Jan 

The guys failed full stop , Get him gone 🙏

I was genuinely delighted when we got Moore. Good old Carol I thought, thinking big and obviously putting her money where her mouth is. Genuine delight turned to genuine puzzlement when we somehow ended up top of the league with some really scratchy performances but outstanding results. Then reality came crashing down and results mirrored the performances and all the glossed over issues suddenly showed up in stark reality. The wheels have well and truly come off. I think Moore is a thoroughly decent human being, but a truly awful football manager. Good managers produce teams that are greater than the sum of their parts. Run of the mill managers produce teams that are equal to the sum of their parts. Bad managers, yes you guessed. With the best will in the world nobody can seriously believe that the current shambles will be sorted out by giving Moore more time. Every single facet of the playing side is an absolute disaster and it is not a case of the cost of dismissing him, it is the cost of not dismissing him. We need to start the process of finding a manager that can get the players playing to anything remotely like what they are capable of. 

I feel sorry for Darren, but it's a results based business, and the results I'm afraid just ain't good enough.

Positives today......Garrity Smith and Amos, how good was it watching Smudge getting stuck in where's he been all season ?  Garrity breaking up attacks and getting involved and finally Amos giving a feeling of confidence with decent distribution and a decisive save. 

Negatives.....Darren Moore.

They'd also conceded 18 in their previous 10 aways. Pretty easy maths that they basically conceded 2 every away game.

Add Tolaj to that list. He played well considering he’s been bombed out the squad the last 4-5 weeks. Should never have brought him off

Again Swanny same as Nippy debate tactics all day long and tell me what you think we should do differently with the players at our disposal.

Tolaj strange but what else could/should have done differently to get a result?

Clearly we were the better team 1st half and should have been a couple of goals in front by at halftime.

 

Won a game off football. I’d of scored a goal against a team that shipped 5 last game. 
 

You say couple goals up? How Curtis one on one yeah nothing else really was there??? Cheltenham got in an had there own chances aswell it was an even game but like I said yer need go opticians cause yer eyes are painted on. 

Still wasn’t all bad news today. At least our neighbours came good for me:

 

Do the players practice? I don't understand why they can't kick the ball properly. Why have they all got worse when it comes to the basics of football? Passing, dribbling, shooting, crossing. All crap. It's bizarre. 

At least we saw no messing about at the back today, a better performance for Tolaj and the return of Garrity. Maybe there are signs of a slow and gradual turnaround? 

Utterly beyond me how anyone, Phil Bowers included, can draw any positives out of that, apart from the real straw clutching of a clean sheet. 

The interviews are a head in the sand joke, offering no light on why these so called higher quality players can't string 2 passes together and why they don't seem to have the ability to play any other way than percentage long balls. 

No questions such as "what would you say to the fans who seem to be frustrated at the lack of attractive play?" or even  "why do we seem that we are always trying to contain the opposition?"

Totally abysmal!

As frustrating as 0-0 may be, I thought we were much improved today. 

The return of Smith added some much needed fight at the back, the return of Garrity was absolutely massive, and Tolaj performed as well as we’ve seen probably for two or three months. 

I’ve banged on about needing a competent midfield partnership, and today highlighted how pivotal one is. Garrity showed us what we had been missing since the end of October. 

Don’t get me wrong the lack of goals is a concern but a couple of January additions to compliment our attack, coupled with the full return of Byers and Garrity, will see us hopefully get back to where we were back in September and October.

You're not wearing rose tinted glasses unlike a small minority of fans that's probably why anyways the owners need to make a decisive decision and fast ,Like you say the majority are royally pissed off with the product on the pitch at the moment and if the owners can't see what's right in front of there eyes and not make the right call we're F####d

When has Byers played for us I must have missed it 🤣🤣🙀🤣

Ok I'll say it and I'm sorry to say it.

1 We can't score goals
3. We don't have a plan
3 We hardly win a header
4 Most of the time it's clear the ball doesn't matter who to but it's usually the opposition.
5. Throw ins are poor.
6 Corners are poor.

With those 6 things we don't have a Scoobies of getting near the top.

Sheffield United must have a clause in Hackfords loan that he plays.

For me it's getting as bad as last season with better players.
