    Wrong team
    Wrong formation
    Poor goalkeeping
    Poor midfield
    No penetration
    No pace
    No runners
    No clue

    Pathetic

    It doesn't help at all. But there are poor players in that line up. Seconds in and wtf again was that by Chambers!!!!! We deserve to go down.

    One change and the side looks more balanced.
    Why does he need to make a change to balance the side? Just pick a balanced side to start with.<steam>

    Colwills set plays are shocking.

    Did Salech get injured? If not, why replace him... especially with Meite?
    Shocking decision.

    Robertson set piece now. What do they work on. This side will struggle in L1.

    I agree. He wasn't playing well. But Mannsverk Chambers Colwill were behond shocking. 2 of them somehow are still on. Completely useless.

    Lucky point.

    Horvarth man of the match for that save at the end.

    We are going down. That was absolute garbage.

    Horvath with a vital save and a precious point for the boys.

    We have no chance of staying up.

    We may scrape enough points to keep above Plymouth but that's it.

    Draws are not going to save us.
    Starts with an unbalanced side. A change to settle things down.
    The next change unbalances things and we go behind again.
    The next set of changes balances the shape, and an equaliser comes.

    Taxi for Riza.

    Not a clue how to set a side up.

    Regardless of injuries, unable to select anything like our best 11 and then needs change after change to save a point when a win was essential.

    Managed to watch most of the game whilst working.

    Positives
    We salvaged a point when all looked lost
    Once or twice we actually played some lovely one touch football and looked quite good
    We scored 2 goals away from home
    Horvath played well

    Negatives
    Wrong line up to start with
    It took us going behind to create anything positive
    Our hesitation in and around our own box was horrendous
    Far too much negative, backwards and sideways passing
    Nowhere near enough creativity until we went gung ho towards the end and brought Robertson on (who admittedly has been poor in recent weeks)
    Ref missed a potential red card for them when Robbo was clipped by the last man.
    A point really isn't enough now..

    Unless Riza releases the shackles then we're screwed... We may as well go down fighting than trying to scrape through in games by not losing.

    It was a great save by Horvath but he should have saved their opener.

    Don’t let the last gasp draw fool anyone. City are a poorly coached club. It’s not only Riza but what has Shaw done to improve our defence? It’s got worse. And all I see of Purse is him looking at his laptop. He’s probably watching Celebrity Bake Off re-runs.

    Riza again picked the wrong starting X1. A whole 45 minutes wasted again in the first half until he changed it.

    Too many players had shockers. O’Dowda, Mansverk, Chambers, Fish and Colwill take a bow.

    It was unfortunate that Rinomota got injured as we went to pieces on the right flank after. He or Ng need to be fit on Saturday.

    So it’s Stoke City at home next. Another must win game. But this time it has to be a win. Riza needs to take outside help on what team and format to start. He can’t rely on his own ability and those around him to get it right.
