    We never looked like scoring either. We had 2 chances all game, one of which a set piece, the other a gift handed to us by the opponent. We were hopeless going forward

    Without Donaldo's holdup play the system just doesn't work. Although the pitch didn't help, i'm not sure it would have made any difference to our attack play which is so laboured and one dimensional. The amount of hoofball today against two brick walls at the back reminded me of the way we ended up playing Doyle. Completely counter productive.

    I'm chuffed to bits for the lad,its been a long road back and hopefully he stays injury free. Got a great reception when he went off. Taylor played well enough and offered more than the others usually do.The problem was the four in front of him. Offered little to nothing, whether that was down to Bowyers tactics or not is open to question. Reeves probed well enough but with Vaughan playing most of the match with his back to goal and having non existent service we have pretty much a non existent goal threat. No wonder the fans are becoming restless.

    Today was really poor. Bowyer will bring pressure on himself if those type of performances never mind results continue. Really poor.
    Yet everything you’ve ever watched has been criticised so just like the boy who cried wolf your POV is worthless.

    He could and IMO should have brought Otech on at half time, everyone could see Vaugan was getting no joy on his own.

    5 in midfield is the issue. Our impotence going forward is nothing to do with Drury or the personnel in midfield, it's simply that the lone striker role isn't working.

    Good post SteveC. Like many I too am losing faith in Bowyer. He stated no so long ago that he had finished "tinkering" with players and formations and that he now knew his side and formation, yet still he tinkers along blindly.
    From the games that I have seen Vaughan constantly gets high balls thrown at him at shoulder and chest height with his back to goal. Behind him are at least two big, hairy arsed defenders who lap it up.
    That is not Vaughan's game - he hasn't scored at a higher level with this sort of service.
    No wonder the bloke, like Doyle, is totally pissed off and gets frustrated, which usually ends up with a yellow card.
    Bowyer needs to get his act together and fast - no more comments in the T&A about performances not being "acceptable" and how the players are going to "put things right next week". He needs to look at himself first and foremost.

    They have actually reduced the allocation this season. It’s now just over 1,600.

    And quite rightly too, past regimes have had my hard earned money, I believe it's 2028 when I have to start paying for my seat again, by then I could have the best seats in the house sat on my cloud :(.

    I'd give my right plum to be on that bus with you guys. Sounds like a perfect Saturday. Have fun and hope we get 3 points to complete the day out.

    Your humour will do for me mate, next 4 games could see us top of the league, 12 points is well within our capabilities.

    The mighty Maccy Town appear to be doing very well despite Campbell walking at the end of last season and their ongoing financial problems.
    Another team who just won't roll over for us.

    Thing is, its such a tight division where no one really stands out. On Saturday we could have easily been left with a point, i think every game bar one, excluding draws, has had one goal in it . Even the Oldham game they were the better side the first half.
    We’re starting to play some decent stuff but with a coupke of injuries i wouldn’t say we were any better than 3/4 of this division. With the way this divison is it wouldn’t surprise me either way if we clear at the top by Christmas or sat half way in the table.

    Popped down to Rawdon Meadows. this morning but only Connelly being put through his paces with a one to one I presume with the fitness coach.
    Hopefully he'll be back for Macclesfield.
