We’re still in a better position than anyone thought we’d be. I’m chilled about it, maybe when we can buy some players for a fee, we will improve defensively. Safety is the first objective, which I think we’ll do, then build on next season.
 
All 4 of those goals are absolutely diabolically **** from our point of view.

First Slater just passes it straight to the enemy, awful touch would have been better off not getting anything on it.

Second Egan, just what is he doing? Unmarked man at the edge of the box with a ridiculous amount of space. One of the midfield 3 HAS to be picking him up, not sure which but Crooks is nowhere to be seen.

Third should have been a foul on Slater but was is Egan doing? His best Coyle impression backing off allowing the enemy onto their strong foot and giving them plenty of time and space to line up the shop.

Fourth, so many defenders in and around the box all defending the same spot but yet again a huge area of empty space with absolutely nobody near it. Difficult to tell from one replay who could/should have been there but at least one of them definitely should.


None of these things have come about because we are too attacking and leaving ourselves too open, these are all a mixture of the players being **** and the organisation being ****.
 
Not sure what the answer is after that ... perhaps drop Crooks back to a more defensive role, get Gelhardt into the middle behind the striker, even putting Hughes into the back 4 the mistakes he has in him wouldnt improve us much ... think the only way we stem the flow is to bring 3 on and take no fkr off !

Then they would all get in each others way.<laugh>
 
The games lost - I wouldn't risk either Oli or Miller but I'm not the manager
They are paid employees of the club. I’d absolutely be putting them on to try and salvage some pride. Fit enough to be on the bench, fit enough to play.
 
What doesn’t work

Amir (Poor decision making, poor passing ability, slow to react)
Joseph on the left. (Offers no cover, restricting Giles going forward)
Egan & Semi (too static, we can get away with one but not both)

11 off 9 on for the second half may help us keep the score down.
No mention of Slater. ****ing pathetic fanboy

Can moan about many players but I’m not sure Amir is good enough.

Not the night for scape goats though as no one has done anything well
