    How did we manage to find so many thick players at the same time?

    Another example where our second half performance performance has been appalling and a stark contrast versus the first.

    Against a decent team i fear we lose that game and cannot understand how the players cannot manage a game and go from starting decent, to looking absolutely clueless, time and time again.

    The only bright note, and I’m clutching, Hornby. Says it all doesn’t it.

    You've nailed it. Overall, we lack quality.

    No flair, no inventiveness that creates space or suddenly changes the direction of play. We are too predictable and easy to defend against.

    That 'shot' from Lee Angol towards the end of the game was a prime example. Similarly, on the edge of our penalty area the ball came to Gareth Evans, it bounced off him about ten yards. We need better than that at League 2 level.

    First 15 mins we looked bright and lively and camped in their half, a couple of chances spring to mind that their keeper saved well. After that it was just a bore fest. So no, you missed nothing.

    Hornby saved us 2 points, Forward off for a midfielder at home says it all as we surrendered the game,

    Enough is enough #Adamsout the guy couldn’t be anymore anti football if he tried, he is boring, his football is boring and this is the most dis interested I have been in 30 years of watching. The whole football side team, management everything just look like they need a rocket up them. City fans are not hard to appease all we ask is effort average footballers can be forgiven if they look like they are trying unfortunately at the moment we have neither ability or effort.

    Just feels like the club is being wound down until 2028 when we’ll be a non league club playing at Horsfall Stadium because we can’t afford the rent at VP.

    That's a good result considering we played with nine men for the majority. Threlkeld and Gilliead are absolutely appaling. Neither of them are anywhere near up to it. We need a whole new right side in January (lol).

    Less said about the forwards the better. Pay peanuts, get monkeys, I think is the apt phrase to use here.

    This side is certainly one that reflects the manager. Dull, boring, devoid of personality and connection with supporters. It's exactly what Adams is so its no surprise he has his teams playing like it too.

    City’s marketing team have done the best they can with the sows ear that’s on the pitch. Off the pitch there have been many improvements. Backing up commitments stated in the summer. Problem is that’s all well and good but unless the people on the pitch do a better job then you will still have a disenfranchised fan base, due in part to the mismanagement of the club since Parky left. Sparks kops a lot of stick. Some of it warranted and self perpetuated. But he doesn’t kick a ball for a living.

    If Gillead stood out as a good player there is absolutely no hope

    still did nothing... he's a flair player but has absolutely zero end product.

    we were absolutely toothless yesterday, the tactics made sense and could see the plan. the problem is Theo and Angol are really poor together... really need a new striker come Jan.

    I hope you aren't suggesting our current predicament is the fans fault and that everything would be alright if we just all clap harder FFS.

    Unfortunately Tallin, this waste of space (Port Vale fans told us how crap he was but our Recruitment Team decided otherwise) signed a 1 year deal in August 2021. Hope some mugs come in for him in January.
    Also hope someone comes in the Invisible Man Lavery too.

    With you on that Tallin. I also think we may be surprised by how many players Adams tries to offload in January. During his time at Ross County he got rid of nine players in a New Year window, then signed six.

    Robinson nearly scored a beauty in the first half. Credit where it's due, he looked okay first half.
