    And amazement at how a team that's had nearly two weeks off can play like that. What the **** have they been doing on the training ground?! If it was our 3rd game in a week then there may be some mitigation but that performance today was truly awful. I've defended the players and the head coach all season but it's hard not to be critical after today. If the players and head coach don't get thier acts together very quickly then we are at risk of missing the top 6 all together and that would be an almighty **** up.

    Cole, Kane and Williams should have been fresh after a good break and they did naff all.

    Even those who paid a quid to take a lot today will feel short changed.

    Just another embarrassing negative boring display that keeps happening more and more and this is with a pretty much fully fit squad to choose from but were getting worse.

    For me Cole made a few decent runs and found space, didn't get the service & when on goal he gets dispossessed too easily.

    Should have got on the end of two or three good crosses.

    Agreed, needed to take a chance & react a little quicker. Our crossing was abysmal on the whole though.

    Think Cadden has got a clause in his contract that doesn’t allow him to lift the ball off floor when he crosses the ball

    I expected a response from Cole today.
    Unfortunately there wasn't .
    How he stayed on for 90 minutes is baffling

    I really think we are lacking pace at the moment. It's all predictable and laboured. I think we should get O'Keiffe and Cotter on and told to just go at players don't worry about loosing it. That was a horrible watch, chalk and cheese compared to the Derby game.

    There are zero positives to take from today none. The players have to take most of the responsibility and I've never been in the Collins out camp but his subs today were beyond belief. Not been Billy big head but 1 down at home to Cambridge and we keep 3 centre halfs on, 2 down and still sticks with it he has no plan b what's so ever.

    Possibly non of them were great today but thought Mcatee was best of a bad bunch I would have kept him on,but why pull Mccart and shuffle Williams over one nowt like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic plain mad.

    Because this clueless manager ALWAYS makes the same changes. McAtee could bag a hat trick and he'd get hauled off. And he pisses around shuffling the wing backs a few times each and every week.

    He's as predictable as it gets and that's why teams are finding it easy to out manage us the longer the season goes on

    Three players that won't be here next season coincidence ?.. Half the team won't be here next season and the other half aint good enough..

    todays team

    Roberts.. could be anywhere next season, not our player
    Williams... going
    MDG.. one or two like him because he can spray the ball about a bit.. but cant defend to a consistent level.. lacks high and pace.
    McCart.. not our player
    Earl.. looked good in his first couple of games.. good height, gone down hill since
    Cadden.. going

    Phillips.. lacks in a lot of areas.. shooting is his game. If he dosent shoot then he add next to nothing.
    Kane.. going..
    Connell.. not been a patch on last season, so one good season one bang average to poor.. next season will be interesting

    Cole .. going
    McAtee ..no our player

    Subs.. again add or improve nothing. not one better than the above. and sadly dosent it show

    Do we actually expect anymore than we are getting..?

    Agree with all that. If we fluke promotion it will take a huge rebuild. I don't think any of our squad are championship ready.

    Unfortunately you are correct & we cannot overspend unless we fill the ground & charge stupid & unfair amounts to the fans. Football is fked, it's sad.

    far too slow in moving forward they had all the time in the world to regroup after they scored- i.m.h.o. it is happening far too often- no height up front for an outlet - 3 midfields playing tippy tappy and far too slow again. defence too slow moving forward. I blame the manager with these slow tactics and the players thinking they can play like man city
