    The lad might be a decent player but he is no use to us, he is made of glass, need to bring in quality to replace him in January

    We’re starting to lose our heads. No one offering any composure or calm. Everything rushed or rash and players looking frustrated.

    Sutton running around trying to spark something but in turn we look lost in the midfield.

    That error has completely deflated FCD who looks like a lost puppy.

    We are making a very average team look comfortable and thus making us look less of an average team.

    Christ. Reid was some player. Or a Mark Marshall. Incomparable to these lads!

    Derek Adams can’t handle the expectation or the pressure.

    Hence why he succeeded at small clubs with small crowds and low expectations: Ross and Morecambe

    Pressure came when Plymouth went up and he fluffed his lines. Pressure at city and he’s fluffing his lines.

    It's ok @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler thinks everything will be ok in January :joy::joy:

    He's off the VP tomorrow and can't see the mess.

    Bradford City FC is a joke!

    Gotta say, Bower is an improvement on AK. Makes some good observations, and not afraid to criticise our players.

    Songo'o saved us a couple of times, but I'm struggling to give anyone else any credit.

    Honestly think the players have stopped playing for him
    This is worse than Bowyer/ Stuart
    Mr Sparks has some serious thinking to do

    Too many bottlers in that team, woeful.

    Don’t agree Adams should be sacked, he needs a few windows to get rid of the shower he’s inherited and give a bit of continuity which we’ve lacked for the last 7 years.

    Its awful how we just lump it blindly forward. There's absolutely no tactics involved in our play at all. As Bower pointed out, why is ROD kicking the ball forward to Clarke (who won every header) virtually all game? Adams, Trueman, OD don't have a brain between them.

    Why can’t we retain the ball like other teams? most of the game we looked like we were playing a team of 14 Tranmere players they out passed us.

    The bull shi&e that Adams said about not using the loan market is sackable.

    For Sparks to allow Adams not to use the loan market is sackable.

    Tranmere sign a talent for liverpool on loan and we lose the game. 6 points being 7th and 9 points being 3rd. Oh 14points behind top.

    JOKE!!

    Things will never change while we've got an owner who doesn't give a shit.

    His clear plan is spend as little as possible hope a promotion miracle happens on a shoestring budget somehow and sell us.

    Let’s look on the bright side. Here’s the positives from that performance tonight:

    That January window is still seven games/21 points away yet. The goose may well be cooked by then

    No one can sit here and tell me this is a good side who are well coached. We have food xG and will eventually get it right. It’s rubbish.
    We are rubbish. 2 wins in 18 games and no idea where the next one will come from. We played a poor side tonight and crumbled having again been in the lead. However felt we were fortunate to be with them having two cleared off fo the line.
    We had a tough run and did nothing but still haven’t beaten anyone of note yet in this league.
    Without our good august we would be in some serious trouble. Believe me we are a bad side.

    Football matches are over 90 minutes. We play well in small spells and have chances which will happen in league two but we are so soft it’s untrue and we lose or drop so many points in moments. We are not tough enough and don’t really score many goals and don’t keep many if any clean sheets.
    We have a squad which is always the same players down due to injuries and a real lack of any quality to bring off of the bench.

    January will not fix this. It needs a few windows and a good clear out. Scunthorpe away next week is now must win

    I'm afraid Sparks is out of his depth here, talks a good game though

    Who is worse, Rupp for being the silent owner, or Sparks for peddling pipe dreams to the fans, our gob shy-te CEO needs to apologise for the awful football on offer this season and shy-te signings
