    To be honest as poor as we've been were only 1 down surely were can't be as poor second half.

    I don't care about either of those clubs. Wrexham will fly because they're super ambitious and I saw enough in the performance of Stockport to believe they'll be up there. I haven't seen a single performance from us that makes me think we'll be top 6 this season.

    We're 2 years in, a level of performance should be obvious. It's not. The system, the style doesn't work. And it's garbage to watch.

    In his defence today he doesn’t stand a chance, everything behind him has been terribly laboured.

    Definitely our saving grace, we've only conceded 1 in each game, but it's not acceptable to go to Morecambe and not score a couple.

    2-1 from here, it has to be.

    We've gone backwards from last season in terms of being a defensive unit. Until today going forward we looked good in spells but we look clueless in that first 45. Early days but it doesn't feel right at the moment and Hughes needs a convincing run of games.

    You've just basically said "I didn't watch Wrexham so I don't know", but you're absolutely certain about us...

    Doesn't seem fair.

    You don't concede 4 in a half at home if you're ace.

    I don't usually agree with you @bantam316@bantam316 but you're bang on with your comment in the first half.

    Are you relying on teams finishing as badly as Colchester and Stockport all season because the low scores against column certainly isn't on account of impressive defending.

    The rumour has it he said to Hughes your clueless and watching today he could be right.

    Yet only Hughes and Hodges can't see it. Absolutely bewildering.

    Really, really, really trying to not feel like this, but regretfully it’s becoming more and more difficult isn’t it??!

    Massively got to kick on this second half and show us all what they’re capable of.

    No, I've said I don't care about Wrexham. They'll probably be ok because they're genuinely ambitious and have plenty of cash. But I don't give a monkeys. I care about us, and my views now are based on 2 years of Hughes, not a couple of games this season.

    It worries me when Hughes said he thought we played really well at Stockport. The formation doesn’t work,he didn’t need to start using this formation,he’s too stubborn to go back to what worked for him last season.

    Adams got a lot of stick for saying " We were lucky to have him as manager ".
    It seems that we are extremely unlucky to have Hughes.

    We know Stockport can't finish, it's not a fluke, to be fair.
