    Feels like expectations were too high

    A lot of the anger is steeped in 'but they're bottom' without factoring in that they're improving

    It's not all about us - FGR have their own story going too

    They’ve also got in a decent manager. He did a good job at Shrewsbury before becoming quite poorly then fell out with the ownership. They were in a right mess and he’s definitely picked them up. Tactically outsmarted Alexander tonight and played to his players strengths. Can’t fault them.

    No it’s because they only brought 50 fans

    Sorry but if you can’t get a result against the second from bottom at home then you deserve a angry response even if FGR are improving.

    Dunno mate I don’t watch them in training. Do you think Alexander isn’t picking Bobby for a laugh?

    If GA is to persist with 3 at the back for both home and away games then he needs to either get rid of Richards and Halliday, or have wing backs for home games and use those 2 away.
    There's a reason why we have won 5 away and only 3 at home, the change of formation in the second half shows us that 4 at the back at home creates a more fluid side thats needed to break away teams down.
    A structured 3-4-3 is great when you want to sit aa little deeper then counter, but not at home.

    He’s not picking him because he’s not over 30 and he might ruin the pitch if he runs on it

    They're not second from bottom on form when we played them tonight.

    Far from it.

    They just beat Walsall and City back to back, that's shows they aren't playing like a bottom two side regardless of previous mismanagement.

    Maybe all the under 9 teams he's scored against in the cup?

    FGR very organised, we huffed and puffed but there’s nothing dynamic with the way we play. Knock it out wide with an overlap pass, try cross it in and hope for the best. Their defenders lapped it up.
