    Mayenda is playing because our 1st 2 choice LMs are injured, today he was moved to RM as appartently Roberts had a tight hamstring

    Mayenda doesn't start when everyone is fit

    4 apparently, not that it matters like. He’s got a better record than any of our forwards. Penalties have been mentioned but you still have to stick them away.

    Mate he does mind, come on. I’ve lost count of how many times he’s dived at home and got told to get up.

    Tell me what minute of the game today we actually put a dangerous scrappy ball into the box

    Did it twice at Blackburn and Isidor got us two goals.

    shame our wingers love cutting in and shooting all the time or passing back out of the box.

    I know it's a reoccurring theme, but some of the under performers today wouldn't be on the pitch if it wasn't for the injuries. Others would be sharper if they could have been rested and rotated.
    The club has a big decision to make in January - do we bank on the likes of Mundle, Poveda, Browne, Ballard & Samed getting and staying fit, or are we prepared to bulk out the squad a bit to account for the injuries we seem to always get?

    There will be ructions online tonight because we lost, we dominated today and it just didn't happen. However that will be lost online

    I never once said that, I was pointing out his record is better than any of our forwards. Sorry, I know how much you love Isidor <doh>

    Cannon is ****e I’m baffled why a few of ours are so obsessed with him.

    He’d be garbage for us.

    Aouchice put a great ball in that Mayenda headed wide.
    O9 put a ball in that Aouchiche should have done better with.

    Mate Wilson must be on the deck, fainting injury more than any player I have seen for us. I like him, but needs to cut that **** out and lead the line.

    Cannon for us would score more than him IMO.

    No striker would be good for us because we don’t create any chances for them.

    but it’s the centre forwards fault according to some. I wish the ball fell to Isidor and not Mayenda

    Isidor can’t wait to hit the deck. Seen it 4 or 5 times in recent weeks.

    It’s not just about me rating Isidor but to back up Cannon from a lucky pop shot where’s done **** all game to get at our forwards is quite funny

    Because being a striker isn't just about scoring. I'm sick to death of saying it now but he offers absolutely nothing out of possession or hold up play. All the numbers back that up. We are a team that doesn't create big chances for the striker so we need a striker who is going to offer something in build up play. Thats what I mean when I say he's a good player but a bad fit. So either we change the system (won't happen) or we continue to play how we are.

    I'm not bashing Isidor, I'm complaining about the set up of the team and recruitment.

    Yeah emotions are always high after a loss, it is what it is you miss a boat load of chances you leave yourself open to be punished, annoying but will be quickly forgotten should we get a result New Year’s Day still well on track to comfortably make playoffs

    The Mayenda chance is the only one.

    O9s ball the squad were far behind play because it was a long ball to O9 and he put the ball in too early

    We need a leader, as captain, and a lethal CF.

    Such a poor result against, quite frankly, the worst side I’ve seen this season.
