    Young, Pointon. Let them go and the cash we raise will be wasted on complete and utter shte 'has been' players.
    And you wonder why we are mid table league 2.

    How come Crawley has a small budget and can play like that? A simple question really.
    I hate seeing my team in this mess. I bereft of words.

    We played kick and run while Crawley played football and passed there way through us for all 4 goals. Nothing short of a disgrace but well done to them they deserved the win

    Buying players to play in a specific way and to a specific formation.

    Opposite of what we did.

    They don't deserve the number of fans they get. Allows owner to sit back and do nothing

    What a shambles, totally embarrassing.

    And to those who started believing in Gents recruitment shame on you, overall the guy has been a fraud.

    GA being found out very quickly, if we can force an attritional win then his 'style' is just about acceptable but shit shows like this and things will turn against him (and Sparks) pretty quickly

    What a dreadful day!

    It’s a simple answer as well.
    Ive learnt over time to just laugh these situations off rather than getting angry about them - it isn’t worth it.

    More players out than in? Christ! Hope Alexander has a get out clause.

    I'm afraid you might be correct. It could turn very sour very soon. Trouble is I've zero confidence that the January window will help us.

    I'm not making a judgement on GA as a manager after such a short amount of time and I like how he comes across, but the decision to go from one extreme of playing style to the other - and GA is as much a polar opposite as you could find, mid season, is utterly ridiculous and once again lays bear the incompetence in the Board Room.

    Nothings changed. Without competent leadership, this club will go nowhere

    They were awful. Looked every bit as cheap as their budget.

    You're right.
    Do you think once Jürgen Klopp leaves liverpool they will go for a Sean Dyche type of Manager??
    No will they balls, they'll get someone in who plays a similar style so all the training the teams, from the under 9s up to the seniors, won't be wasted to start playing a longer game.
    Hence the reason why, after the play offs, they should have thought of, we are very close.
    Let's do a few tweeks to the squad and get a better motivator in who'll get us over the line, because last season Hughes failed, no matter how much he pleaded a successful season.

    GA post match interview…
    “We dominated the game…”
    “We deserved to take a 2-1 lead…”

    Give it a rest mate, ridiculous statements.

    They attacked four times and just walked through us. Incredibly easy.

    Reminded me of the MK Dons game
