    That was as bad as anything served up under Bowyer. This squad has no chance of promotion

    Not there tonight but we were all over the place and lacked structure Saturday, Bowyer had two very good strikers at his disposal but the rest he signed are average and he has left us with a bloated squad which is sadly lacking in game changers and leaders.

    I don’t mind Wood/ODonnell/AOC . let’s be honest, Richards-Everton is no Rory McCardle. Absolute clogger. Midfield is overall lacking that hard tackler and the organisational nous to gel as a unit.

    for me the damage has been done over the last two months and we now need another clear out in the summer.

    There was plenty of time for someone to close him down, we never learn, cracking shot and goal.

    Devitt was in the opposite camp when McCall was last here and was giving the big I am mccall probably not forgotten so won't be getting game time.

    Centre back don't suit what McCall wants.

    McCartan isn't a LW.

    Reeves isn't a div 2 player. He's not suited to this level.

    Best player so far is Akpan.

    TBH if it was against us we would be saying the save against McCarten was a worldy of a save - should have scored though!

    So far, Guthrie’s making me nostalgic for Omari Partrick.

    Sadly, on this performance, we have found our level.Not even the quality to play a cohesive game of football. In no terms are we being professional and I'm only listening in to this on the radio_Obviously Stu will make the changes but there has to be a desire to compete. What is getting to me is this constant reference to a lacking in confidence ..well teams like Stevenage are propping up the devision but had enough resolve to journey up and get in front.

    The knives are out for Akpan tonight bizarrely as he is no where near our worst player. Whos bright idea was it to sign Guthrie.. What a terrible player he is.

    Terrible. I expected him to be well up for this one against his old club but he looks completely disinterested.

    Depends how you look at it. For me it was a bit like the Clarke miss at Wembley but worse as it was far closer. The nets are big, in them situations you make it impossible for the keeper to save, or at least a professional should, I see Sunday league players slot them in weekly.

    Anyone having issues with iFollow, worked fine for me for the Oldham game the video but now it’s lagging none stop, checked my speeds and it’s a steady 533Mbps at the moment and I’m the only one using the internet. D:

    Think I’m gonna ask for my money back if I can’t even access the 2nd half ahahaha, it’s literally bricked itself just before half time, none stop buffering ahahaha

    We need rid of hopeless Akpan sooner rather than later absolute garbage bottles challenges, unbelievably slow on the ball and just a poor footballer for us. As a team we can barely string two passes together just lump it long while they close us down with urgency we trot around the pitch letting them move it around

    Do you need a (new) manager to get a (new) manager bounce?

    Agree on all. Why some are singling Akpan out is embarrassing - agree he’s been one of the only half decent.
