    Same stuff every year we hear, last season some said we’d double drop. It’s league 2, even when we were last promoted most games were garbage close games in the league. I don’t think we’ll go up, but trouble nah. People were going on about Bolton pre season, and thinking Forest Green got a good result against them last week. But most at this level are just crap, it’s why Harrogate have had no issues adjusting to life at this level and non league teams never do.

    I agree with what you are saying but I’m not going to criticise a player for standing up for a teammate too much. Stupid but secretly you’d be disappointed not to see any reaction

    I heard the City fans mentioned a few times on the commentary. Were they inside or outside the ground?

    Agree Swindon were the same. It’s devious tactics which comes from the manager. As a player I wonder how much they like doing that

    Even more so now as they don’t have a salary cap.

    Match stats, according to the BBC:

    Possession FGR 59% - 41% City
    Shots FGR 24 - 7 City
    On target FGR 2 - 5 City

    TWO SHOTS on target.

    Can't argue with that. I've always believed that playing a player out of position is a last resort.

    Are you going to accuse the other players i listed as not giving a toss? Probably not. Won't match the scapegoat agenda will it?

    Bronco, I wasn't questioning the statement that the Reece miss kick ended up with FG equalising rather to use a mistake as a reason we didn't win is fraught with danger. We were only ahead on two occasions because of FG mistakes. Goalkeeper dropped the ball and they missed a penalty. So in this instance we were the beneficiary of mistakes just as much as FG were.

    So I then asked the question. If we put that aside what were the positives we could take from the performance, team selection etc etc?

    Ahem, I already said Ismael and Watt were ineffective, and Clarke went completely missing. I was more referencing the situation where Guthrie was clearly struggling for fitness in the last twenty minutes (up front), and McCall was keeping him on the pitch.

    Didn't the keeper rise like a salmon to tip a POC header onto the bar in the first half?

    SM said on the radio that he is on the phones tomoz and that he was already looking for a CB. It sounded like there could be some incomings soon.

    what about the build up to the first goal? according to yourself, we aren't in the need for a natural right-back at the moment as Sutton has been earmarked for that role. however, the first came from French not showing his player wide and down the line like a natural full-back would. he'd challenge the player to beat them on the outside and get a ball into the box but French let the lad drift infield and carry the ball to the edge of the box where the play led to a stupid free-kick being given and 1-1. we can say the player in the wall didn't do his job but if French does his correctly, it never gets to that point.
