    15 mins extra time? Drysdale is just letting them take the piss even we are well beaten.

    3rd goal - AGAIN happens because we leave a man spare on the edge of the area. We can talk all day long about where to improve the squad, but Hughes is NOT getting the most out of this group. He’s underperforming. He had a strop mid 2nd half when their centre half made a robust challenge on Cook - Sparky, its League 2. Your centre halves need to gladly eat grass for breakfast and then look forward to sh*tting it out later in the day.
    Losing away to the leagues top team doesn’t determine anything - but it’s this same script too often. And Hughes isn’t learning.

    That's how we've set up to defend corners all season. No one more advanced than the pen spot.

    Asking for trouble doing it against the best team in the league.

    Steve Evans would take us up. I don’t care what he does with his c*ck.

    Tough game today and we are being well beaten but it’s our home form which is going to decide our fate we must drastically improve that

    3-0, that’s me done for today. Very little to be excited by in the past 3 games and the small break we had hasn’t seemed to show any fruits today.

    That said, clear indication from Northampton and Orient of the gap between ourselves and them. Cannot look any other way than they are simply better across all departments, tactics and approach to the game.

    Our formation continues to not work for me. Walker fit to start ASAP is a must and figuring out how we offer much, much more upfront (in both an attacking forwarded and defending from the front) is essential if we want to make the playoffs. Add to that investment for someone alongside Smallwood if he’s continues to not trust East, is a January must have.

    Never thought I’d be more interested in the World Cup than I am City, but it’s sadly very much true right now.

    I wish we'd have got him when he went to Doncaster.

    Cant wait for Hughes’ post match interview

    It’ll be the same old sh1te as usual

    " We played well, and deserved more from the game"

    Yeah. Right.

    After that performance, the players AND the manager need to take a long hard look at themselves

    Looking forward to the excuses rolled out by Hughes. We are miles away from competing in this league and do Hughes and Sparks know this?

    The fans are getting very restless. Unfortunately by the time Sparks pulls the plug January will be over. We need so much more out of this group.

    He's not wrong.

    Even the play offs depend on our home form improving.

    I think we can write off the autos, unless we make 4 or 5 significant improvements in January, which seems extremely unlikely.

    4 minutes…Unbelievable!

    Before I take the dogs out……Foulds has had a mare! I feel better now.

    And Drysdale just let them kick the ball away again…how many more times.

    What an awful , awful referee.

    Well he might have 16 goals now, but he wont get another 5, i'ts like playing with ten men. And get that soft lad Gillied off, what a nancy offers his foot in like he is testing the temperature in a swimming pool.
    Appointed the wrong man, should of bee'n Evans, disorganised shambles. The third goal should tell you everything about our lack leadership, leaving men unmarked on the edge of the box AGAIN.
