Blaming the home fans laughable, people turned up in horrible conditions, to watch a pathetic weak kneed display, losing to second from bottom, who couldn't buy a win before Tuesday. People won't clap and cheer the utter shite that's on display.

 

I’ve noticed recently this forum has serious bipolar, everything is extreme these days win and top 3 here we come, lose or draw and sack the club.

Wimbledon were at home, player advantage and have lost just 1 in 12. It’s a perfectly acceptable result. Onto Carlisle.

 

Well said Wilsden.

I think our fanbase is very bipolar.

We must be very passionate fans, on the plus side, but it does get annoying.

Literally every non-victory is a catastrophe.

This one is annoying due to the context (losing to Rochdale at home, Northampton lost today, a couple of teams overtook us), but it's not the end of the world.

 

We bring in about 12 wide men over the season and we have no width, doesn't make sense does it

 

We're just not true fans Dave, how dare we stay at home on a pisswet Tuesday night for reasons unknown to others.

 

My first thought was we should have brought him off, but we can only blame Walker for being a pillock and getting himself sent off.

He has the personal responsibility in this situation.

 

Tell me another club that would leave the second top scorer in the league on the bench when we struggle for goals.

 

A point away is always acceptable if it’s followed by a home win. Carlisle is a massive game let’s have the spirit and fight we had against Salford and three points

 

Not just that. Why also start a player that only joined the club yesterday and hasn't had chance to train with his team mates yet. Lad looked lost out there.

 

Hughes had every right to expect Walker to show some awareness and responsibility - JW. is not an inexperienced kid and he badly let his teammates down today

 

Eisa has the potential to replace Wrights goals, indeed his minutes per goal is lower than Wrights

However 7 of our regulars this season, being 4 defenders, Gilliead, Smallwood and Chapman have scored 3 (three) league goals between them.

A quick look shows Piergianni alone has 5 league goals for stevenage as a defender. The three CBs showing on the BBC for Northampton today have 9.

We must be bottom 7 for potency / goals scored from corners.

 

Not unlike the football though eh..?

 

What a pair of knobs. Walker for getting a second yellow. Hughes for not pulling him at half time.

 

It's obvious Hughes signed Oliver as first choice, but his hand was forced when Cook started scoring for fun. First opportunity he got to drop Cook, he put Oliver in. It seems you're either "in" or "out" with Hughes. Young is another case in point. Joint second highest scorer despite the fact he's not played for four months. Surely, he'd have been worth a place in the match day squad, to bring on when we were chasing the game? The lad showed he could hit the target. Hughes throws Costelloe straight in today. Could Young have fared any worse???!!

 

Stopped scoring? We were creating absolutely nothing for him, he had one poor game at Carlisle where he uncharacteristically didn't take on of the three chances he had and was subsequently dropped.

 

Happy with a point today but it’s the Rochdale game that will Fook it up

 

25 games into the season and not a single goal from a defender yet.

Would be interesting to see how many goals we've scored from corners or free kicks. I can think of Cook scoring at Tranmere and he maybe got one another?

This must be a massive area of opportunity for us to improve on.

I can recall a few good opportunities for Platt in particular, but doesn't feel like the quality of the set-piece balls into the box is good enough.

 

I'd be bringing Cook back in now, failing to see what Oliver offers over Cook with any quality or consistency.

Costelloe was a weird starter. Not played since getting a knee injury in Sept and it looked like it. Bloke looked lost.

 

Win next week and its a good point. Lose and not so good. Its what you follow it up with.
