    It’s something that shows such a weak attitude.
    McCall did it all the time.
    His pre match stuff was always about how good the other team are and how dangerous they could be.
    We are worried about Grimsby (4th bottom) so we take out our most dangerous player.

    Weak weak management.

    That was a bizarre explanation of why he left out our best player.

    Play to your own strengths, rather than be negative and worrying about a struggling team.

    Sorry, but just don't trust Alexander with the summer budget and rebuild.

    I don't want to hear comments by fans next season of "give the team ten/twelve games to 'gel'"
    All that stuff should be done before a ball is kicked. Good teams are at it from the off, no messing.
    Get that good start and it becomes a roller coaster instead of catch up.

    Halliday, and Sam Walker are the only 2 players who can hold their heads high on their performance levels this season. Maybe Gillead too.

    At this stage a season ticket boycott looks less like a protest and more like a sensible, sane decision.

    MK Dons 18th when they got rid of Alexander. Currently fourth. Their chairman has a philosophy, plan, and vision.

    This worries me about GA. A fit Walker is one of the first names on the teamsheet, yet he drops him after one of the best attacking performances (2nd half) we've seen in weeks. Is there a clause that Oyegoke has to play if fit, because we've doggedly included him when there was no need to.

    Stonewall penalty papers over some very glaring cracks, the only reason we got anything is because they’re awful and down there for a reason and bottled it.

    Time to put the empty glass down and step away from the keyboard I think.
    Take a pot shot at a load of them, but Halliday?? I think the young uns would refer to you as a WUM I believe

    And a major factor in that nearly season was Josh Cullen in midfield. Obviously we are not going to get anyone of that quality in League 2, but with his past experience Smallwood should have been the man to drive us forward from midfield but he's been a monumental let down.

    A poor team of bang average 4th tier footballers will have the odd game when things just click. Seems Friday, everything clicked.

    Quickly back to our drab watch so far today. Probably another win or two in us this season, but nothing to suggest today is a winning day based off this performance, so far.

    Don’t like singling out players, but the most experienced player and captain is the most negative influence on the pitch. Complete opposite of his intended role

    All is forgiven. A tactical masterclass and heroic captain marvel get us a huge point.

    We're on our way....

    Eh?

    Brad couldn't have missed if their lad didn't hail him back, stonewall penalty, definite red.

    Get Walker on for the start of the second half for Smith push Kavanagh up front with Pointon and Walker supporting, someone has to up the tempo thats was a poor first half.

    Pointon had a stinker but surely he'd benefit from playing with Walker, the only other player with energy?

    Playing them one after the other makes no sense to me.

    Spot on. But the shift from where we are, to what we'd need to be in order to push the top 3 spots, is seismic. It needs a cultural reset, New leadership at the club, likely new ownership, a squad overhaul, investment in the infrastructure of the club. Its a huge shift, and I have zero confidence we have the intent or means to make that shift.
