3-0 down after 21 mins. Absolutely pathetic.

All mistakes too

Bet you enjoyed posting that.
Would you have posted if we were 3-0 up? Don’t need you to answer that as we know the answer

Good that McCann has made changes before HT
-
Wouldn't have hooked Bailey personally. Midfield is weak as piss without him in there
-
Utterly disgraceful so far. Wood and Olowu have been dreadful.
-
Now watching Broadbent even stupider decision to take Bailey off.
-
Harrogate and this one. We’re a good footballing team seemingly but we need to scrap
-
All mistakes too
Not mistakes …,It’s called putting pressure on your opponent . Our defence looks clueless .
-
Shambolic first half, like the lads are clueless. I understand why McCann didn’t make any changes from Tuesday (other than woods) but that’s 2nd league game in my opinion he has got the set up wrong.
Big improvement needed in 2nd half. Credit to Newport they have hustled the life out of us

I’m sure there would be some positive posts Campsall if we were 3-0 up, but we’re not

Not from him though.
Flabbergasted by this score line after that performance at Hull.
Very pleased I made the decision not to go today.

45 mins left you never know,

We're not a good footballing team.

Help me out here, I’m tactically clueless….how do we overcome the fast, very effective press that Newport are employing? Is there a simple tactic?
-
Credit to Newport who look like scoring in every attack. Fast flowing with plenty of numbers and accurate forward passes. No short corners no needless passing, as their off the ball running is very good.
This 45 gives us a great opportunity to show character and fight…
And it’s only game 2….
-

Either go long and press them further up the pitch or step up the pace of moving the ball around quickly, preferably going wide to move them out of position.
Difficult to do if no one is on it to match them for pace and physically

Get Rowe on, and ditch the 4-4-2 to a 3-1-4-2
-
Think they're treating it like most of us do on an away day and started at Spoons at 9am this morning what a joke of a first half. Subs great but wrong ones for me. No idea how Broadbent has not been subbed in all 3 games.
-
Thanks Nudge….. can’t see that happening after that first half effort.☹️

Formations go out of the window when your players are caught in the headlights . We need a holding midfielder who can control the play and fill in the gaps . We’ve been all too slow to get into the game and not matched Newport for pace or pressure. Playing out from the back when your under the constant pressure is pointless . Get the ball up the field to your forwards as quick as possible and playoff second balls in their third of the pitch !!

The worrying thing for me is that I thought Harrogate were sharper and quicker than us. They out hustled us for much of the game. The same is happening again - and as I typing we are 4-0 down against another mediocre team. It’s going to be a very tough season.
-
4-0
What a disaster.

YES as Les Dawson would say "grim" :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Shambles worse than last season this.

Just chill. It’s the second game ffs. Yeah, it’s not ideal buts it’s a new team. Give it some time

I’m not buying this ‘chill it’s only the 2nd game’ if we have ambitions of promotion then we can’t afford many more games serving up this kind of football.
We brought McCann in to hit the ground running
Not a dig at you in any way CC just a generalisation about it

Well chilled thanks. The problem we now have is that mansfield and notts county will have watched these two games on vid and will see how we crumble under a high press - we need to start working on a plan b tomorrow at 0800. If I was McCann I would get all their arses in and cancel Sunday.

We’re keeping up our new tradition of believing this is the season we break free . Butler Wellens McSheffrey ,Schofield and Now McCann it’s pride we keep this going :headbang:

Most teams at this stage are new teams, if we can’t take points off Harrogate and Newport in the first 2 games, it’s a long uphill battle ahead
-
Utterly disgraceful so far. Wood and Olowu have been dreadful.
Went to the game vs. Harrogate last week and I honestly don't get the Wood hype. Not surprised.
-
All really poor defensive errors. Need to see more from wood. His passes inside either have too much on them or not enough and put us straight under pressure. When we went 3 at the back expecting Roberts and sotona to effectively play as wing backs they were then too deep to support the front line. Biggins struggled to find a red shirt all afternoon. Only positive was the big lad mo faal. Looks a handful and surprisingly good with the ball at his feet
-
Think we may have stumbled across our walk out song.. as we are bottom of the league. Yazz ‘The only way is up’

At least we have the right manager to sort this out. I'd be far more concerned if we had any of our recent former managers in charge to fix it.
-
It's going to be a loooooong season.
0 points against harrogate and Newport! And soundly outplayed in both.
Only 1 way were going

Give over. Other than Wellens nobody expected anything from the other 3

Wellens will be found out as well !!

Some rate Fannie's on here. GM said before the season started that it's going to take a few weeks to get going properly.
I expected loads of inconsistent performances and results for the first two months.
Really bad day someone else's office today but luckily not much time to dwell on it before the next match.
-
No hiding for Grant on this showing looking forward to hearing what he has to say because that was atrocious, I’d go so far to say worse than last season
-
We’re bottom of the league
-
No goals and no points against two teams who will almost certainly be bottom six. Outplayed and out-muscled by both. A serious rethink already required?
-
That was as bad as anything under GM and DS. I doubt we'll see anything that bad for the remainder of the season.
-
I’ve got total faith in McCann, who is clearly a very good manager at this level. However, it’s probably not lost on everyone that we actually won there and kept a clean sheet last season.
-
Stockport have also lost both games and they were most people's favourites. Long way to go. McCann will sort it.

George Broadbent got an account on this forum like?!
-
That was as bad as anything last season. Could have been 5-0 at half time. Tearing my hair out after such a great performance at Hull. Everton must be terrified. Really looked like a non league side. Supposed to be a team of fighters, us against the world and all that. A decent side would have got double figures against us today. Heat of the moment comments I know but so deflated after watching that. Sort it out Grant.
-
We’re 6 points off automatic promotion with 132 points still to play for.
-
f**k me people need to get a grip. We’ve played two games, if you’re not having that arguement then you’re clueless.
Look at Stockport last season, look at us last season.
The table sorts itself out in the end and we will be lot higher than we were last season at the end.
It’s a bad start but it doesn’t mean much
-
So many new players all brought in because presumably they were better than what we had, yet that’s 2 performances that wouldn’t be out of place last season.
-

…”at this level” isn’t quite right though is it? I don’t doubt that he probably has the ability to figure out what is needed in L2, but he has not exactly mastered it yet!

You seriously believe that it should click after two league games with a high turnover of playing staff in the summer?

I think you’ll be incorrect

Did we not have a pre-season?

And? Do you honestly think those friendlies are enough to 1, find a settled side, 2, find form, 3, all these new faces gelling straight away.
It's 2 games in FFS

We are doomed to the National League then are we after 2 defeats.
Crying out loud get a grip. You are embarrassing.
-
I still think we've got a better squad but only a slightly better starting 11.
-
Pleasingly, at least Leeds lost today.
-
Jesasus, to read this thread it sounds like some poor dog's gonnna get a kicking tonight!!
FFS get a grip.
