    I think it does. We can't retain possession upfront long enough to bring midfielders into the play, Donaldson can do that.

    We seem unable or incapable of playing between the lines, Devitt can do that.

    2 major problems sorted.

    I don't know what he said.
    I was driving along the Aire Valley Trunk road and had it not been for the lane guidance system on the car waking me up from the constant drone of him voice I wouldn't be here now.
    That man could talk a glass eye to sleep.

    I couldn't do with that mate where I sit we have a few words at times but thank goodness I don't have to listen to that sort of rubbish every home game.

    The boos are the result of Bowyers incompetence. Don't like to see individual players targeted but palmer needs to be taken out of the firing line. The lads confidence is now non existent, unfair to keep playing him.

    defenders are there to defend. our centre-halfs looked comfortable dealing with whatever they were throwing into the box and have most of the season. we have one of the best defensive records in the division yet whenever a team comes forward there's mass hysteria and shrieking from the crowd.

    You really have to feel sorry for these players being paid thousand's of pounds a week to play football. Poor souls.

    Best passing move that we produced today. Someone thought the stitching looked a bit dodgy and tried throwing it into the goal but it went for a throw-in.

    He is footballs equivalent to Andy Murray
    Mono toned and boring

    We didn't get out of our own half for the first 8 minutes of the second half. WTF was said at half time??
    Can't blame Mellor, he's trying to earn a living, its Bowyer who chooses that shower over Henley.
    How did Palmer stay on instead of Akpan??
    Not once did any of our midfield put their bodies on the line for the cause.
    For me the players aren't playing for Bowyer.
    He shouts at them whilst trying to instruct some kind of bollocks towards them but they look the other way and ignore him.
    Northampton, Colchester and Plymouth winning again.
    Can we get some winning form going??
    Is our pitch contributing?
    So many questions, but I can't see us finding any solutions.

    Don’t forget that now Doyle’s back, we’ll be scoring for fun and winning all our games.

    Cough cough.

    We have a new goalie Jon - because we do not want to recall Hornby and Kenworthy not regarded as ready. Otherwise it looks like we are sticking with the mediocre midfield. We will have to keep fingers crossed - players coming back from injury act as a catalyst for a promotion place.

    Can’t be the pitch, Scunny looked nice and composed on it today, passing was fast and accurate.

    Look around club message boards up and down the land. It's a growing phenomenon. People actually garnering pleasure and entertainment from screaming abuse at their team and telling them how shit they are. You can almost sense the disappointment when things are going well. All very quiet round block E when we went 2-0 up, then the carnival began when Scunthorpe scored before the real party started when they equalised.

    I'd say from that, and looking at the actual percentages, Akpan was the worst performer.

    Barely involved, as is almost always the case.

    Aside from scoring a goal and making another I agree he didn't do much else. Those stats ignore the goal and assist though.

    Same conclusion, goes walkabout anywhere he can hide. Palmer was awful today, but he didn’t hide, and I can guarantee he couldn’t find Akpan! They walzed through our midfield all afternoon.

    Utter bollocks. Parkys a stubborn bugger. Listen to the fans my arse. He will imprint his philosophy on their squad and they will improve because of it. Bowyer shouldn’t listen to anyone. Do it his way and if that get him the boot then he’s got no regrets.
    What I do agree with is that whether you liked it or not Parky had a plan. In contrast I can’t see what bowyer is trying to do.
