    I struggle to blame Bowyer when i see individual performances like this. Hes not perfect but hes not to blame for some of the crap.

    Mellor is terrified of going forwards.
    Henley keeps turning back.
    Reeves is pointless. Taylor only slightly better.



    We havent played badly. Game is there to win. Really needs some subs, that i can blame Bowyer for.

    Devitt and Pritchard should have been on 15 minutes ago.

    Defensive *@?$ up. Pritchard given the ball edge of the box, keeper off his line. Clear view of goal.


    passed it away from goal......

    This is why we could be in this division for a long time again, 0-0 is not and never will be a good result.

    #bcafc have had a total of 9 shots on target in their last 5 games gaining 6 points from a possible 15.

    #bcafc have had more than 5 attempts on goal in just 3 games this season.

    12 teams have scored either the same (2) or more amount of goals than #bcafc this current campaign

    You can't blame one player for having one shot on target in 90 mins and only 9 shots on target in our last 5 games. Thats less than 2 a game. We love to single out players here but you can't stick this one on Reeves despite his poor performance tonight.

    The injuries excuse doesn't wash with me, it's a lazy assumption. Every injury we have had, we've had an adequate replacement to come in for them.

    I never thought we'd walk the league, but I expected a team to challenge for the title.

    What I'm sick of watching is a manager with zero interest in winning a game. His substitutions today (or lack of them) was embarrassing in a game which was there for the taking. But no, boring Bowyer is only interested in clean sheets, couldn't care less about scoring goals or entertaining the fans.

    Nonsense

    Any team would miss not been able to pick Devitt or Donaldson for the last three months. Never mind, Prichard and Ismail

    Creatively, I'm struggling to think of any players who are better than three of those midfielders at the club. And we haven't even considered what a miss Donaldson's menacing front man prowess is

    I think fans really need to dig down and consider the reasons for the lack of chance creation as opposed to taking the easy route and blaming the manager in every post

    I'm amazed, that with all that talent missing, we're in with a chance of the play-offs, never mind automatic

    Its not nonsense at all, let me spell it out for you.

    Donaldson injured, fine we have Vaughan, now Doyle.

    Devitt injured, fine because we have McCartan and Cooke, both of whom are naturally attacking midfielders.

    Pritchard has been injured for a few weeks a couple of times, not months on end so don't exaggerate that one. Although just for you, we once again have McCartan and Cooke who play attacking midfield.

    Everyone likes to assume that because we've had injuries, we've been stuck with pub players like devine and Anderson playing every week, when it simply isn't true.

    Give over, have you seen how bad this division is. You'd think no one got injuries the way some go on. Yes we've been affected but in a division as bad as this regardless of injuries we should be in the playoffs as a bare minimum. At least with Pritchard and Devitt we may see some creativity, because if you're asking Connolly to supply it we could be waiting till Christmas.

    Caught the second half and I thought it was alright to be honest - away against a promotion challenger we looked solid and had a decent 20 minute spell in the middle and Taylor hit the bar, Pritchard made the wrong decision which was a shame. Taken in isolation that’s a good point but like many have said it’s been negative all season. Four at the back looks much more balanced too.

    Give over the deflection takes it behind his run and he is then off balance.....

    What a ridiculous excuse. We DROP
    a division and were clearly somehow struggling to get used to the standard in the matches you don't want to count just so you can use a 4 match selection in isolation to pretend we were scoring goals?

    I've seriously heard it all now.

    And what it also shows is our manager relied on one player too much and now he's injured he has no idea how to get the other 20 odd players to play together, attack and score goals!

    We can't rely on only one player!

    It'll be dull. It'll be 532 or 5311. It'll be beige. It'll be boring.
