Charlie Seaman is awful and Molyneux flatters to deceive in virtually every gane.. simply not good enough.
I really thought these new signing would kick start our season. Said no one.
No clean sheet yet again. Another defensive error yet again.
What makes this worse is that we are absolutely nowhere in the lowest tier of the game. We are not getting rinsed in the Championship here. We’ve gone backwards at an unbelievable rate of knots and are also rans in tier four. Being here full stop is embarrassing given the resources we have to hand, but mid table nobodies here is really a colossal failure and will be by any measure the worst season since 1997/98.
Don't worry ds will come out with all the waffle after the game
I’ve made this point for the past two seasons now. We are the softest possible touch at the back. We barely ever keep a clean sheet and it’s not because there isn’t midfield cover, it’s because the defensive unit is shockingly bad and seem to think they are Newcastle circa 1996 when conceding 3 piss poor goals is fine because we can score 4 at the other end. Keeping a clean sheet is not just number or not on a page, it’s a state of mind and a grudging reluctance to let the other side get away with even the smallest victory. This lot like their predecessors the last few season seem to think it is a minor occupational hazard to pretty much always concede. And again, this is not the Championship. We are playing one tier above the part time lads.

The way league 2 sides, (even the worst of them), are scoring with ease, is alarming. After numerous managers/coaches it still hasn't been addressed, & if it isn't addressed in the summer I fear the worst next season.

Is there anyone who thinks Schofield is doing a decent job ? Imo he’s not even L2 quality .
