    I like footballera mate! A cross between footballer and ballerina. Both physical disciplines. Maybe we should adopt it to describe footballers who are nimble on their feet?

    Spent the bulk of my day getting my broken hand re-aligned and yet safc we’re still the most painful part, sometimes I hate how much I love them, onto Tuesday, no reason we can’t pick up a result, might be the morphine taking

    11 games to go and our season is already effectively done. Really poor.

    We may have conceded a pretty crap goal but defence is definitely not the main issue. We have absolutely nothing up front. Jobe has no attacking threat at all in that number 10 position. Hemir got no supply whatsoever, we seem to be against playing an actual winger on the right and our most attacking threat (Rusyn) sits on the bench.

    It’s frustrating as f*ck.

    Our supporters were great, I turned it off as soon as they scored, no ****ing fight in them, and if anyone thinks Cory Evans coming back will solve things go and see a doctor

    Playing devil's advocate a bit, is it going to take Dodds a bit of time to unpick the mess Beale got us in to?

    Ffs just play 2 upfront. Lets have a b*stard go and give our forwards a chance.Seasons over, results have been crap recently just fkn try something else

    Play Rigg. Might not last 90 mins but last time Jobe was dropped to the bench he came on and scored in less than a minute or so. Try it. Got to be worth a go.

    For me there needs to be a change in the team, form and confidence in players are low and those need taking out of the team for their own good. Rigg and Adil have shown us glimpses of what they can do when they've came on as sub but they hardly get a chance afterwards. Rusyn looks like our most threatening forward but he's in and out of the team like a yo-yo. Put these players in the side, tell them the shirt is theirs for at least 2 or 3 games and see what they do then. There's no point talking players up if you're not going to give them a chance to play a decent amount of time

    No there’s one constant in all this the end of Mowbrays reign Beale’s reign and now his own Dodds has been coaching the lads for awhile now if he dosent know what there good at now god help us - PS - well done all those that made the journey you did us proud

    No point if nobody actually gives them the ball though! Rusyn, Hemir and Burstow make runs in behind yesterday. All still waiting for a pass. New gaffer will have his work cut out imo
