    A load of cr@p I'm afraid mate, until these charlatans are held to account the voices from the fans will only get louder. We aren't expecting anything extreme or drastic, quite simply what we are currently getting is League 2 standard on and off the field. Leadership starts at the top, there is none.

    That's awful post to read, but very difficult to argue against at the minute

    I thought Northampton were trash. How we have not won that. The players play like they are under pressure. I think Cotter, Earl and Watters were OK. Tough pill to swallow. We desperately need a player like Keillor Dun. Just f*king go and get him. Also, I don't know how Philips won motm.

    Think that’s more to do with lack of depth / choice than the managers fault.I’m guessing they wanted to take it easy with Watters with the recent hamstring thing and Hourihane not being fully match fit.
    Only seen the goals but the first was due to some Fanny I g about and standing off a bit ( again!) and a rush of blood from the keeper, he had no need to be out there and if he hadn’t it would likely have been an easy save, but having gone, he HAD to get it or else…,

    absolutely bang on! That’s my thoughts exactly, yes football can be irritating or give you a happy boost , but there are far more important things in life!

    I know we need a striker (or 2) but we’ve scored 2 goals today, at home, and not won the game. The defence has been a shambles for above a season now - as someone posted above - 1 clean sheet in 26 games. Yes we need strikers but Jesus, the defence needs sorting / we can’t be needing to score 3 every game to stand a chance of a win.

    Frustrating end to game, 2 points dropped for sure.

    Bench is so weak at the moment and that showed as we lost control when changes were made.

    Clarke also got it wrong today with the formation change, we looked much better when he changed it up vs Mansfield, but today it didn't work. Not sure why he tried to go to a 442/4411 type thing when we have no real wingers.

    Not worrying just yet as still time to add some new faces in window, plus we have some good options due back on bench soon when they are back from injury.

    We'll be reyt. Onto next un

    In the game I watched they missed pretty much a free header from six-ish yards and had two other excellent chances, one saved, before we even started to think about playing. So whilst, yes, we should have closed it out at 2-0, a marginally better side would have been in front early doors, as so often.

    You must be good to be able to define a 442 from a 44/1/1 lol......you talking too much tactics pal, all you saying is that one forward drops off the other. and by how many yards I ask you?..... football is not as complicated as some make out these days imo

    Well Phillips wasn't playing as an out and out striker so wasn't really a 442 but it's not that it really matters. Where Phillips was or wasn't playing wasn't the real issue, it was the square pegs in round holes on the wing and at full back.

    Was in the north east today so only seen the result. Wasn’t massively surprised until I realised they blew a 2-0 lead.

    Oh well. Onto Tuesday I suppose!

    For those pinning their hopes on incoming signings next week. Just remember the people who signed the current crop of ***** will be the ones deciding on and signing the next lot. The model and plan is failing and the board are either too stubborn or incompetent to change it.
