Phew!

When you are bottom of the league, it’s not just how you hang on. Other teams expect capitulation and play accordingly.

[POD]

After seeing the highlights, both conceded goals were poor - the first Alfie should have closed down and should never have scored from there and Galbraith (I think) lost Williams for the second. 

Both goals were poor defending but realistically we could have conceded five or six in the second half - the penalty save and two or three against the woodwork and several other goalmouth scrambles where we couldn’t win the ‘second ball’.  When we went three up, we should have been able to close out the game but didn’t have the players, the tactics or the know how to do it and that is something we will need to address if we are going to have a chance of staying in this league.

That is a very sobering summary POD.

Weve p!$$ed a comfortable win up the wall. Lets be absolutely real. 3pts is the most important obviously but lets not deny we had cigar in hand to allow them 2 which is shocking

That’s a post desperately looking for something negative if ever ive seen one.

What a stupid comment. The game SHOULD  have finished 3-0. When it went to that score we should have got that clean sheet. Instead we conceded 2 ridiculous goals

[foxbat]

nevertheless  , I enjoyed the wn

We improved for not having Cukur in the XI. He’s useless.

Agree. He’s terrible. 2 yards behind everything. What’s more shocking is the fact we’ve got ourselves into a position where a kid who should still be in the sixth form is leading our line.

He wasn’t terrible on Tuesday. He led our line very well.
He did not look 100% fit today when he came on.

[Chris Black come back]

Next three games are important - Cambridge, Charlton and Crewe. After that we have a break as we play Scunny twice in FA Cup and then EFL Trophy and the scheduler 13 November home game against Fleetwood is during international weekend, so we might again have this off. By the time of the 20 November home game against Lincoln City we should have a fully fit squad, barring any new injuries.

I’m not going to argue with you, but I doubt he will score 5 goals this entire season. He shouldn’t be anywhere near our first 11. You are, of course, welcome to disagree

I thought that his speed of thought when he came on was woeful.
A couple of times yesterday his movement was like an afterthought. He should have been buzzing when he came on, as Alfie May was for them.

We need better i agree CC but Richie does not have better to bring on or start does he.
Dodoo though looked like a player yesterday.

The defending for May's goal was nothing short of pathetic, it was like it was in slow motion with half arsed efforts of closing him down. Then Williams makes a run at the back post for an easier header he'll ever have, even worse was he almost did exactly the same a few minutes later.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Dodoo was massively improved yesterday despite fading a bit second half. His goal was superbly executed and he now needs to kick on and not go another 6/7/8 games without scoring. I still think he's nowhere near good enough but i will change my mind in the next tranche of games should he add a few more to his tally.

Dodoo's first touch with the ball coming over his shoulder was sublime and his composure to finish was equal to it.

That’s literally the definition of conditional support eg he is shit and I will maintain he is shit unless he starts scoring and proves he is not shit.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Who gives footballers unconditional support? Lunatics.

They aren't volunteers or part time amateurs. They are paid to do a job.

I give the club unconditional support but individual players not a chance, unless it is related to a personal matter such as they have been the victim of racist abuse or they have had to stop playing due to a serious illness for the time being.

I give unconditional support an individual player on a human level but not on a professional level. They are professional and are paid accordingly to do a job.

I see it as a comment on our awful defending, rather than someone desperately trying to defend our defensive frailties. Individually we were ok yesterday, collectively it's embarrassing. The stats tend to prove this over several months.

When he came on we needed someone to let their defenders know they were there, he did the exact opposite & contributed absolutely nothing.
