Moore needs to learn his lesson, and I have faith he will.

He said after the game he learned a lot. Hopefully he learned that 3 in midfield is a must,

He can’t do it again. Surely to Christ. I am being super positive these days but I’d despair if it’s two in midfield and Tolaj out wide again.

The fact we are saying we hope hes learned this after 18 months and going through this last season means i wont get my hopes up. I think we are more likely to see croasdale and Curtis come in than a formation change.

Well, if he does do it against Cardiff I can only see one outcome.

I learned that 3-4-3 doesn’t work a long time ago. Not sure why he thought it might be alright today.

I don't think anybody played well at all in the first half, mistakes all over the pitch in almost every position.  What worries me is that yet again like so many times last season we only turn up for 45 minutes. In the second half today I don't think anybody played badly and we were very unlucky not to come away with a point.  The strength and depth of the team got us out of trouble last year but it won't this year, we need to be consistent over 90 minutes not 45.  

They didn't win, we lost it. How anyone can think players who weren't that great at Shrewsbury and Mansfield can walk in to our team causing formation changes nobody wants is deluded. Down to you big man.

Some more images from today's game

wanc game !! eent get a prog run out the kir infront of me got one !!! wanted hot dog   same kid infront got one  !!! queued for 20 mins got feck all !! overpriced yorks rubbish ! we got what we deserved after that sheeeeiite first half ! roll on thurs  UTFV    SUPER VALE AWAY AS USUAL 💪💪👏👏👏👏👏

Do love this interview with Jesse holding his hands up on the first goal. Personally I did think it was a worldy of a cross, similar to the Shorrock at MK one last season I guess.

 

Frustrating really, got the set up wrong and we’re miles off it first half, panicked lumps downfield and over run in the middle.

Great ball but poor defending from Jesse and keeping from Marosi for the first, should be keeping that out with a decent hand on it.

Second was a mess, take that ball or punch it but does neither really, avoidable goal that killed the game really.

Red card felt harsh in the ground but wouldn’t have been an issue had he controlled the ball initially properly! 
 

Half time I felt we’d need to try and keep it tight and ride the pressure to avoid a 4 or 5-0 defeat but Moore sent them out 5 minutes early after half time obviously with a roasting and we were a different animal. Rare to see a side with 10 men dominate 11 like that and a real credit to the lads, superb goal, the flick from Ronan to put Clark in was sublime and a good finish from Hall. Great move.

Once they went down to 10 it felt on but sadly couldn’t do it, Tolaj chance in the ground looked a tough angle on the slide but on the replay he should bury it and we’d all be buzzing now but one of those. At half time I was completely flat and fearing for the season based on what we served up, at full time I’m feeling positive that we play like that second half we will have a decent season.

Lessons to learn but positives to take. Can’t accept a first half like that again though as it was far below the standards we expect.

Jayden picked up a knock which explains why he was subbed at half time. So, 1 game into the season and we have only got 2/3 strikers available who are Lorent, Ben and Ronan who technically isn't a striker but can play up front if needed as Ruari is injured although we don't know the extent of that injury yet (will probably be told the extent of that injury after the Cardiff game) and Jayden will need to be assessed.

Here is the video of the sending off and whilst he's won the ball you can't go in with your studs showing as you are going to be sent off.

Not been to the game or watched as on holiday in sunny Cornwall but sounds as if we should be playing 4-3-3 with the squad Moore has assembled.
