    Spot on, you’re pissing against the wind though it doesn’t take people long to turn on a manager on here. Works in Rupps favour tbh the spot light is off him. Sack another by Christmas and start again, maybe after manager 20 in 2023 we might strike lucky. Doubt it though…

    Interestingly, only Newport County had more shots on goal, in League Two yesterday (21 to our 19).

    Was a substitution on the cards as we equalised yesterday? Looked to be a lot of action on the bench...

    So, why 83 minutes

    Yeah, at 1-0 down he was about to bring Lavary on to play in midfield.

    Think we need to stop worrying about the shots thing and actually look at quality of chances created and who’s on the end of them.
    Liverpool arguably the best side in the last 3 or 4 years had 25 shots and scored 3 yesterday. If that’s their conversion rate then ours doesn’t look too shabby

    No idea as it didn’t happen. As we were losing, chances are it was Vernam or Cook - because at 1-0 down we didn’t want to be “overloaded” bringing off a defender or a useless winger.

    According to the BBC stats we had 19 shots but only 3 on target, all this talk of loads of shots is rubbish, The fact we only had 3 shots on target the whole game shows where our problems are, The forwards cannot hit a cows arse with a banjo and the keeper is short sighted and cannot see shots or crosses until to late

    Got it here mate, by the sounds of it he will have full control on in comings and out goings.

    Something I said yesterday D , if the right was as good as our left…..?

    If Vernam could hit the target one in two he would be worth a few shillings and would score goals for sure. Mind you he’s learnt something in training this week…the header was on target!

    There’s hope yet, but Crankcase should be given a chance on the right imho.

    We certainly agree there Dave. These subbings are far too late to make any difference, Gilly should have been off after 60 for starters.

    We can't always agree. It's human nature. Ultimately we want our club to push forward.

    Getting there, is what matters.

    Watt was absolutely terrible yesterday, Evans got a lot of stick but for me Watt was worse. Why does he go for the Hollywood pass all the time !?

    Maybe because as his goal the other week it will be the topic of conversation for a few days.

    Watt hasn’t been good for weeks. A nice goal against Walsall but apart from that very poor.
    Evans got the assist yesterday albeit from some baffling defending from Barrow and their goalkeeper.

    He's trying to make things happen. I'm certainly not going to criticise him for that even if it doesn't always come off. If he kept to passing it backwards and sideways, I guarantee the same people criticising him now would do so for playing it safe.
