    That doesn’t paper over anything. I feel no different than if we had lost that game - it was an absolute disgrace. Character to get back in the game? Pah, where was the character to redeem a disgraceful performance on Saturday?

    The level of quality and ability to do the basics by far too many of that squad is alarming.

    The formation doesn’t work.
    Our injury woes aren’t affecting our forward players, they just look clueless, lost and lacking any direction of what they should be doing. How many goals have we actually created from a passage of play this season? Too few….

    He really is poor. He simply not good enough if we want to progress. Saying that, most of this squad aren’t.

    This league is dire and we are very much a part of it.

    Harrogate losing at home 5 - 1 to Mk. Just shows how poor we are.

    The only decent balls in the box came from Benn getting down the side of the defender. It was so successful we decided to play down the left instead.

    Despite his miss in the first half, Benn was the only bright spark tonight and deserves to keep his place and have a run in the side

    That was a disgusting performance.

    Lucky to draw.

    We’re shocking! A really poor side, in a poor league!

    Saturday - first 25 minutes were shambolic. Majority of first half tonight we were at the same level. Shocking.

    We need to move back to the formation the squad was built for asap. Shepherd and Diabete playing as a two has far too many mistakes in it. Can't carry on for a third game. All hopes pinned on a 37 year old free agent!

    God awful.
    It pains me to say but GA has to go. Absolutely no pattern to our attacking play, it’s as if the players met each other yesterday and had no idea what part of the pitch each was on.
    This is not budget or investment (although Sparks and Rupp are total BS), GA is clueless, just his substitution tonight said it all.

    One well and truly f@@@ed off city fan!!!!!

    MK Dons beat Harrogate 5 - 1. Puts our performance on Saturday into perspective.

    The only plus is Benn who gets forward and can cross a ball far better than Halliday in that he hits them with some pace instead of lofting the ball into the area.

    Need to get back to 5 at the back for Monday. We look abysmal with 442 and it couldn’t be more obvious we never planned on playing it.
    If it all turns sour again and protests start I hoped it leads to change upstairs rather than yet another manager.
    I don’t doubt GA could take up a well run league 2 club and that’s the problem more of us need to focus on
