    Exactly and this is why the rules will hopefully not be changed. The disrespect towards officials has been a joke the last couple of seasons

    We have been absolutely ****. It's more evidence that the back to squad is not close to being ready and we need experience and depth. These youngsters need loans as they will not be able to help us in the championship when we need them too this season.

    I'm not there obviously but Lee Hendrie seems to think we are playing really well, just not creating anything.

    Its almost EXACTLY the same as Sunday. All foreplay and no viagra.

    Batth looks so slow, Ba looks like he has regressed since he joined, got no forward, we can’t defend. Shambles

    Agreed, not watching the game so cant comnent on specific performances but feel quite a few who are playing tonight need loan moves or to be sold

    Ps not judging on the result just from what ive seen of some of these lads last 12 months

    Ba looks very talented but without any concept of what he should be doing or where he should be playing. He desperately needs a loan and regular football.

    All fart and no ****e. Will be the same without Amad to bail us out or a proper experienced striker.

    No point in Neil and Pritchard playing futsal with each other when Ba and Benette are playing no where near the standard.

    And also, Ellis Taylor is shocking.

    So, last season this, when we were poor at scoring from corners and also not very good at defending them.

    What is that saying, something about everything changes but always stays the same.

    Also not picking on Ellis Taylor but he's been hanging around for ages. How is he doing? Feels like he needs a loan but last time he tried he couldn't get into a league two side could he?

    Said to my dad today that Ba needs a loan move, he has so much talent but needs to play week in week out

    Dont feel he can come on and change a game for us so ends up being a pointless sub as need game changes on the bench for when you are winning and losing

    Jewi is the same

    Hopefully loan both them out and sign 3 forwards but dont think thatll happen at all

    The highest that lad will play is L2, he is a conference player at the minute n cant see him ever be better than a bottom half of L2 player

    WIthout wanting to sound like I'm pissing my pants over the first 135 mins of the season - it does feel like our lack of cutting edge isn't entirely down to not having a striker. It feels a fundamental flaw in our style of play. We seem to want to dominate the middle third of the pitch but at the expense of the thirds at either end.

    It is just stupidity to kick the ball away. After Hume you would think everyone would have been reminded. It is not like this hasnt been made crystal clear to them. If I were Mowbray I would fine them everytime they picked up a yellow for that offence.

    Dear me such a soft goal. Terrible defending.
