    I think Connor Wilkinson is crap. You probably think he's crap too. But this week we were still talking about signing him permanently, so someone thinks he's OK. Personally, I would have never brought him to the club after the transfer debacle, but if my League 1 side were playing a non league side you can put your mortgage on the fact that I would be playing two of my three fit forwards and not 5 defenders.

    Wilkinson, Isgrove, Jackson and White were all on the bench.

    Wabara could play right wing if needed or James Bree (who is a midfielder come right back which is surely right wing then) could. And up front he could have played Jackson who has done nothing at all wrong

    Definitely the worst team I've ever seen including a Jim iley season. Some potential there but little or no actual at the moment 'good' players other than Hourihane and maybe Scowen. This is accentuated by a young inexperienced manager who has swallowed one too many coaching books and thinks that overbalancing the team with defensive players is a route to success.

    I've tried to support Johnson based on the team he has and the restrictions he is working under but yesterday was the final straw. I was cold miserable and the defeat was well deserved.

    Time to change the manager and rethink the strategy.

    Onwards and upwards

    I'd have picked Jackson for a start.

    He still had the option not to make the panic triple substitution. That, if nothing else, just tells me that he's out of ideas

    Wilkinson is a great fit for LJ 's style of playing, we play negative for the 1st 70 minutes then bring on a loan player in wilko in a new position that LJ has created called a defensive striker.

    Didn't even realise Mawson was playing until second half he was the effective ...
