    Some will say "another good point against a team at the top"

    And they'll totally ignore that there are so many teams above us because we keep settling for draws against teams we should be trying to beat.

    I'd not seen the league table until I got home as you say 3 points off a play off place, unbelievable Jeff.

    Also, why are we persisting with the long throws? We don't have a long throw specialist in the side, nor do we have a striker who can win a header.

    Don't think we did enough today to win the game, so a draw was probably the right result in what was a poor and frustrating game.
    we seem to have players that lack football intelligence and in some cases abillity also.
    our tactics are also naïve, as others have highlighted earlier.
    Robinson needed to be a bit cuter, he was being bullied by the 2 centre halfs so needed to back in and win a foul, rather than trying to out muscle them.
    Too many passes went astray today gifting possesion back to the opposition..
    All of the above I can forgive and to some extent accept as we are playing at a level where that's to be expected.
    But the thing that really annoys me is the constant gamesmenship/cheating of opposition players and the complete ineptitude of the officials to deal with it

    People are forgetting he had all summer to assemble this squad.

    He was appointed as soon as morecambe went up.

    Yes, Turnbull was still there, but we can’t keep making excuses. He had sufficient time to assemble a squad worthy of challenging yet we’re closer to the relegation zone than we are the summit.

    O’Donnell should have come out and closed him down but stood there flapping his arms after it went in he is poor and should be benched

    Missuse of word, maybe? But you get my jist.

    How can you applaud that poor showing. I'm lost trying to understand it Dave. Maybe I'm being overly critical but I want more from a performance and game.

    Yes there were. Heard a few behind us talking. Woman behind us got to 40 mins and said to her mate she didn’t even know we were playing, lol.

    its a good scheme though, i remember football in the community coming into school when i was a kid. Dirt cheap tickets to get them in.

    I'd love to share you 'optimism' but as a fan, I simply don't.
    No I haven't heard Derek or other lines of literature as I've unsuscribed from social and email. I've lost faith in our leaders and don't care for the rhetoric

    He's my mp, and to be fair to him is excellent at getting back to people even if his hands are tied.

    Unfortunately , due to the lies his boss has told about HS3, and his party's belief that the North only has an LS or M postcode, he won't be getting my vote next time.

    An analogy is a plane. It taxis up and down on the runway, but for whatever reason doesn’t get enough speed to get airborne. Yes there have been some small maintenance issues. Other aircraft achieve take off. Given the delay, our plane after it eventually gets into the air, is so far behind that it cannot get its slot and fails to get to the destination in time.;)

    Agree with most of that but unfortunatly we know we need a 2 goal magin if the opposition score we do tend to hang on.
    Once again yesterday when Vernam got us back into the game why not bring Lavery & Eisa on when our tails are up.
    Apparently Sutton was not 100% fit he was badly missed yesterday for his energy in midfield we were very slow, I honestly thought any changes/substitutions would include Sutton, wrong again Bronc's :(.

    Ok, when Rupp hired Sparks as CEO you knew this club was done! From Twitter boy to CEO in 18 months it’s clear the owner wasn’t bothered. So when people say the Jan transfer window will change things then they really need to understand that our owner really isn’t interested and if he’s not interested then it’s highly unlikely we will spend the money we need to get us where we need to be.

    @Mike Hunt@Mike Hunt @Faithful Bantam@Faithful Bantam yourself and others said in the summer we needed to spend to get a quality signing in. Say a 200k forward and thinks would be different for this club right now but no we still have the crap Gilliead starting week in, week out for us. Our owner isn’t to be seen or heard from. It’s a joke!

    Our CEO doesn’t know what he’s doing. Adam had now taken full control.

    I’ll give you an example of how much in trouble this club is in. Adams says he doesn’t like the loan market until Jan. Our CEO clearly is just accepting that. Northampton had Etete on loan from Spurs starting yesterday and he went off Rose came on. We are 5 points being Northampton already. What kind of CEO allows the manager not to sign better than we have at the start of the season knowing full well the owner doesn’t give a damn?

    Adams is what the club needs but the lack of direction from the top is allowing Adams who isn’t getting results to bully through the club changing everything even when it doesn’t make sense.

    The club is a mess.
