Shocking display, as stupid as it sounds they were there for the taking and we put a display like that in

This is what you get when you have,

A goalkeeper who doesn't instil confidence

Defenders who just can't defend,

Midfielders who can't pick a pass and move,

Attackers who don't show for the ball and have no strength.

I just knew it was going to one of those days when the new scoreboard kept revolving through the numbers on their side of the screen, it was just getting ready.

Ironside showed for it all afternoon. Biggins ignored him a lot.

Im sorry but Ironside and Faal just can't be picked on in my opinion. They are the only 2 who can be proud of what they have done so far. Both have been outstanding.

I cant believe what I have just watched. In my opinion we were playing with 7 men first half...Jones, Biggins, Hurst and Faal were all absolutely hopeless.

Don't mean to bang on about the goalie again but we had 2 out of contract keepers in the summer. We go and bring one in who everyone knew wasn't good enough and now he's sat on the bench behind a goalie who we also knew isn't good enough! Its a massive f**k up.

The rest of it you can look at injuries but that starting 11 should still have been better than that.

Faal was very quite, had barely any touches and when he did he ran into cul-de-sac's.

Ironside, did what he usually does, lots of huff and puff with a couple of flick ons with no one picking them up, couple of efforts he had were poor and rushed and they both could of pulled their defenders around a great deal more, our insipid midfield had no movement to create anything, that's if they were capable which is very doubtful

Would struggle in a National league side.

So slow moving the ball forward, by time we got to final third they had 10 men behind ball. Then try and play through that treacle. Or hammer balls into box hoping to find Faal or Ironside. Neither worked.

That last sentence sums it up.

Yes we have injuries, but we had a group of players available today who were far better than what we reduced to by the end of March last year.

We were shit then, but I never saw a performance as gutless and clueless as today's.

There are some serious questions to ask about the rot in this club. I'd start by asking why it is that every side we play against seems to have more energy, strength and aggression than we do.

Today was in a band of performances that Wellens, McSheffrey or Schofield turned out. Maybe marginally better but around the same type of half arsed, defensively naive, ponderous bullshit we’ve had shat onto the pitch the last three seasons. We’ve generally been on an upward curve this season but today was absolutely shocking.

The ppg average has now dropped to 1.14. That’s 52 points come season unless there is a dramatic upturn in form . And for what it’s worth I think that’s where this team is at currently.

Hurst and Biggins had potential and injuries have delayed their progress, but still they do not seem to have developed their abilities. What is the answer?

I disagree. Today was as bad as the very worst of the past good many years.

It was 5. If it had been 8, it wouldn't have flattered them.

Better keeper on the bench

The whole performance today was shocking, I’d go as far as saying they were the worst team Ive seen this season and they beat us 5-0

I’m not going all Steve Bracknall but you look at Jones, Anderson and Olowu and there is no talking, no calls, no communication. It was so quiet today you could hear what was happening on the pitch and nobody was vocal and showing leadership. It’s a very poor defensive unit and we got totally taken apart by a bottom half League Two side with a below average away record. This was not away at Notts County or Stockport. Total embarassment.

Think they have the ability, they don't have physicallity, fitness, or mentality. Time to be ruthless now, & theyr'e not the only 2. If we don't we will continue to languish in the lower reaches of league 2, no matter how good a manager we have.

Biggins is 28 in 3 months time. He should be clearly in his peak, not a player with potential.

He really isn't a better keeper. We just have two below average League Two keepers.

BIggins makes Broadbent look a massive miss.

What happened to Kyle Hurst’s summer training camp? He’d struggle to hold off my miniature poodle.

Perhaps we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone and get Biggins pulling pints instead.

I know Hurst has had injury issues this season and has barely played to get any sort of match fitness but just what has he been doing all year?

Why has he not worked on his core strength, this was picked out as something that he needed to do from last season to be in a position to progress.

No, point having all the skill in the world if your piss wet weak

It’s a very valid point. Individually they have ability , but together they have very little . They don’t ply as a team . Or at least no where near where they should be .

The upturn since the first 7 games has been there for all to see. Today was dreadful but since the forest green game we’ve been in play off form.

Biggins wasn’t ver good before he signed for us and he’s still not very good.
