    We should maybe consider looking at Jon Mellish, in January. He played for Gateshead and then Carlisle, always as a defender. His manager seen another side to his game and put him in midfield. He's banged about 10 goals in the last 10 games. He looks a very tidy player.

    well i guess that half dropped us all back to reality with a slap.

    is it just me expecting too much?, once again a supposed inferior team is showing us how to actually pass a ball and create openings, luckily for us they have 'overcooked' the final ball but the build up play looks so simple, forward passes rather than side to side and back.

    gooch is right off the boil but he has never had a good game in that position, grigg huffing and puffing again but when it comes to the crunch seems to hold himself back, wyke being himself, scowen needs to learn to take that extra touch at the right time...let's see how/if parky changes it.

    Well I have paid for a season ticket....

    We could nick another goal, but hard too see where it will come from...Gooch did a good cross but makes too many mistakes, Maguire has to come on, not 80th minute...

    That's the problem mate, we don't have a regime ...

    ... there's just a few people hanging around waiting to see what happens next.

    We've not played well for 90 minutes in a game so far this season.

    We need to **** off with this 3 at the back imo. Push Onien up to the no 10 position

    If there’s no improvement I might even stick the golf on. I might see a decent shot then.

    is he a defender on the left side?...then he is a left back, he is covering the left side of defence, he is playing on the left...as you can tell, i do not hold with all this 'half a center back defender' and 'wing back winger'...either a defender or midfielder or forward in my old eyes.

    My god we are poor. Might need the full few billion just to make it to ‘alright’.

    or a new manager, way more cost effective of course...

    We need to take Wyke or Grigg off and replace them with somebody who can create something. They should not be playing together...

    Even if we scrape a win it won't feel deserved ....

    ... no excitement here tbh.

    With the other scores we should come out flying.

    another good option!

    unfortunately it appears I’m forever a glutton for punishment and will spend 45 minutes pulling my hair out.
