    17 year old Rigg gives a Pen away and gets consoled by 20 year old Spurs U23 player that we signed from Belgium with hardly any first team games.

    Tells its own story

    I've been asking for him to start but like I said in my post, we aren't putting him in a position to succeed. Giving him zero minutes against some of the worst teams in the league then starting him against two of the best is mismanagement.

    Yep, people been crying out for him.. but he’s not ready it’s as simple as that. He’s done nout most of the times he’s came on a sub it’s clear as day to see but because he’s local everyone buzzes off it. Will be a player no doubt about it but putting a 16 year old lad into a team that’s weak as piss and lack experience all over the pitch isn’t helping.

    We're still pressing well up front and haven't given up which is good to see.

    They need to do something. Players are not even working hard now. Walking about. Disjointed. Need to get a couple of wins from somewhere and honestly, I am not sure, with this current coach set up, we are capable. Do we have Rotherham to play ?

    I thought that but decided to say 17 because it feels like hes been 16 for ages. Yeah makes it even worse and sums up where we are now as a club with this so called plan

    This could get embarrassing, we are so unorganised and lacking in quality.
    I’m starting to fear the worst unless we get some of our better players back on the pitch we could plummet

    FFS.

    Honestly , we look like a relegation threatened team. No organisation, not grafting. Creating nothing at all.

    Not that we deserve to be anything less than 2 down, how can officials miss that. They only have to look at one one thing and that’s the ****ing taker.

    Still a second half to go. We'll see what's what. We've been sleepwalking into this situation for a few months now. If one player (Clarke) is injured and we drop off as much as we have because of it, that shows the mindset of the whole squad. Dodds in until the end of the seaon was just damage control. I said the other day on the thread about regeneration that it was next seaon I was concerned about. You could argue that this isn't the reason why, but follow the stats, last seaon we finished 6th with Clarke, Amad and Stewart in the team. This seaon we have Clarke and we had played well up until Christmas time, now Clarke is injured and we're in absolute free fall. Not one player has tried to "step up" in the positions we lost players in from last seaon and not one has for Clarke getting injured. I'm sorry that I've posted this in the match thread but I have eyes. If we don't flirt with going down this season, then the powers that be need to sort this **** out, because if this continues, we'll be at the wrong end of the table next seaon. I'm not pissing the bed or being negative, but when the warning signs are there, we need to read the bast**ds. Sleep walking. All the talk of reinvesting the Clarke money has been mooted for next seaon, I hope we can't unearth a few gems, because it's not looking good. Now HWTFL!!

    This is so half hearted. Like a training session. No drive to actually win the game Make a pass and stand watching Things can’t go on like this or we will sleepwalk into a relegation battle
