    I disagree about Touray tbh, a few times he's had a chance to take his man on down the left and bottled it.

    The heatmap for our touches sums up the first 27 minutes, we've had 152 touches of the ball and 32 of them have been in our own box compared with 1 in their box

    Commentary just said that on Saturday our xG was 0.16. The lowest we've achieved since opta started measuring that stat. This could end up being lower.

    Abject.

    Another game the captain is tip toeing around the park trying not to get booked.
    He's twice the player when he kicks a few

    I don't think playing Humphrys in his natural position will make the slightest difference only one team wanting it at the moment, luckily they got their goal early so not over yet.

    It’s getting a bit like the McCall season when we were in the play offs in 2018 a and then downed tools and lost 6 on the trot with shambolic displays.

    Faithful we needed fresh impetus. We haven’t got it with cheap loans. We look tired. No press No attacking threat at all

    Has Leigh actually touched the ball?

    Humphries is done here at this point, it's a shame as on the ball he's got something but we don't play good enough football to even get it to his feet.

    Because we had a way of playing that we haven't adapted and now we can't even really play that way because some players are off form and some have come in that aren't good enough. Equally, better teams have adapted to how we play and we have no plan B.

    At least these last 2 performances settle the “is it too soon” conundrum

    It'd be start as I said. Alexander needs to admit defeat with this "experiment"

    I’m sick of hearing “if we can keep it down to just one at half time” ….. then what??? What magic spell is going to be cast over this lot in the special half time wizards den? How’s about we try and go in one up?? Success is now measured on us not being more than one down at half tiime

    We look so weak. Letting Halliday go has been the biggest mistake.

    We're now seeing what I expected in the earlier stage of the season, a dropping off in results. Let's be honest, we've never been promotion quality and now we're seeing a drop in intensity levels, we're finding our level. I expect us to drop out of the playoffs altogether over the next few weeks.

    Disappointing, but all that really mattered this season was staying up without drama, then pushing on. What is worrying though, is that earlier in the season if we had a poor performance we saw a reaction in the next game. That's 3 really poor performances on the spin now.

    This is embarrassing. It's like an attack vs defence training session
