    No urgency in our play whatsoever

    Painful to watch this. Too slow, first thought is sideways or backwards, no focal point, no pressing out of possession, no creativity, no shots.

    This has been horrendous so far, so boring.

    You can see them winning via a set piece .

    I didn't want Beale but he's supposed to be a 1st class coach. Xmas wasn't the best time for him to come in but hopefully it should improve when he gets them on the training pitch

    Another set piece to defend and they go very close again

    Jobe is dropping way too deep, trying to get into the game.

    Ekwah was the furthest forward in that passage of play <doh>

    If refs did their job properly with fouls on Clarke there'd be a red most games. Easier for them just to pretend it's not happening.

    Can’t tell if Jobe is deep because he’s bored or because he’s swapped with AA.

    Sounds very much like us. No urgency all game, get mugged sooner or later with a set piece.

    “Horrendous”, “embarrassing” are a bit strong mind. “Dull” definitely so far. We can pick it up a bit in the second half I think

    There’s no way we score other than from a set piece or Clarke

    The creation of chances went down hill a few weeks ago and most weeks we look like we won't score and the opposition grows in confidence as they realise there is little threat going forward!

    Need a right back on who can handle the ball in attacking positions. Seelt is good defensively but is definitely a centre back.

    Worst half of the season for quality.

    Pure dogshit.

    Patterson absolutely great and incredible saves. Rest of them need to a blasting. Not one of them good enough. Should be 3-0 down.

    Bringing Ba on was a poor move too. AA as a striker. What's the point ?
