Disappointed with the (lack of) subs. The game was crying out for a change. We needed Harper in midfield, as we were being overrun in there, and he should've put Blake on or something. Bringing Copps on and going to 4-4-1-1 didn't work at all. All it did was isolate Paynter even more and make it even less likely that Cotterill would make a meaningful contribution to the game.

Syers and Woods had no impact on the game whatsoever, as they outnumbered us in there. I think that's where we lost the game in the second half, made even worse by Brown going off, as we had no target to aim for up top when we tried to miss out the midfield.
Cotterill didnt have a good day but none of the midfielders did which is where today was lost.Need some creativity in the middle and pace up front. Paynter looks tidy but totally ineffective for large spells. I hope its a fitness thing but after 3 games he should be approaching peak condition now.
From what i've read saunders played 4-3-3 at wrexham mainly so why didnt he change tactics in the last quarter ? Then again ive read on here plus their forum he's a bit tactically cluelessSaunders and co should change course when we are being over run in midfield
