You're missing the point unless your point is that Adams is stubbornly not playing players and sticking to this 4-2-3-1 system because he's back handedly saying to Sparks and Rupo that there's no point playing the others and changing the formation.

Anyway, don't want to argue with you. It was a poor performance.

Trueman and Sellars must be privately shaking their heads. Bet they could have got 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses form the first 7 games.

If Adams is all he's cracked up to be then this is a big week for him. He needs to get some tactics trained and pick a team to win the next match. Time for him to show he knows what he's doing.

 

There's something strangely comforting and familiar about realising we're still a bit shit.

 

What the hell is an accurate corner, one that lands in the box? People dont half collect some shit. Does a corner that lands outside of the box but is smashed home count as an inaccurate corner?

 

Just seen the highlights - but for a brilliant save from Cook, this could have easily been 3 points, or at the worst 1. Very unlucky to come away with nothing, but if you don’t do the basics rights, whether it’s in the 60th minute or 90th minute then the outcome is not going to be favourable. A sloppy goal to concede. Frustrating but there you go. Learn from it and move on.

 

No but he has enough in him to get double figures which takes a lot of pressure off Cooke when he doesn't score. Take Cook out today, where on earth does a goal come from? Vernam has a goal or two in him but the rest of the midfield offers litte to no goal threat. Watt scored a good one last week but generaly offers little other than being tidy. Cooke is more a creator than goal scorer and Evans and Giliead very seldom weigh in. Thats what Angol brings the table, good hold up play with pace to run in behind, something Cook as a lone striker doesn't.

 

Gilliead would be the one for me. Yes he can carry the ball well, but he is creating absolutely nothing with it at the moment.

 

Morning mate, feel better after a good nights sleep, and on reflection I believe Adams will get us promoted, but it was gut-wrenching to lose the way we did, now we know how the Mansfield fans felt when we got all 3 points there, a draw would have been a fair result but as we know football doesn't always give you what you want onward and upwards.

 

If Cook had done his job we would have

 

I blame the training facilities myself. Did you know we train at a bloody school. FFS.

 

Yes. I like listening to Derek and he's very eloquent on subjects he's got free rein on. However, he really gets tetchy when he's put on the spot. Full marks to Jamie, who doesn't shy away from asking the awkward questions that other journalists avoid. Jamie appears to have some inside info and keeps poking Adams with the stick. Adams definitely very uncomfortable on the line of questioning.

 

We are due a win against this lot.

 

That @Fordy117 playing..? no thanks, he's 'shite' ..

 

A test of Kiwomya’s pronunciation as well.

 

Just passing the festival goers never mind the game drop me off here, my kind of people.

 

Robinson you've been on pitch 2 mins.....no excuse for switching off and not marking man

 

We're bang average. Simple as that. Can't see anyone making a difference on the pitch. No one stands out, or looks like they even want to. Look at the quality of the bench. It's as like for like. Rubbish replacing rubbish.
No point in dreaming about auto promotion anymore. We're just not good enough.

 

About 10 minutes before that Lund had a chance from another corner. Clearly we hadn't thought he'd be a problem form corners and the lack of leadership on the pitch meant no one was marshalling the defence.

Too many average players in the team. We may win some but clearly we won't score enough and we'll make errors and lose too many.

 

Totally disagree it’s another season of budget cuts and we clearly lack quality still. We are literally relying on Lee Angol being fit ffs. We could bring in 10 non league attackers and say we have options, that’s not my definition of investment though. These players won’t be growing into anything better. Time for Rupp to do one although that’s been the case for 3 years.
