It was due to the MASSIVE underachievers turning up that’s why

    I think I made the ‘Bambi on Ice’ comment in respect of Eisa when he slipped for the third time. Even when he was on his feet, he didn’t really take on the opposition with real intent. Did he actually get a shot away?

    He’s garbage. How he gets in the XI is beyond me. Made of paper. One gush of wind and he’ll blow away.

    Sutton has 5 goals in around 60 appearances in league and cup. Gillead is on 4, and not even got 10 combined goals and assists despite playing the majority of his over 100 appearances for us in an attacking role. Those sort of stats need listening to by the management team rather than just plugging on and 'hoping' something might change.

    Sutton isn't the answer, there's no doubt about that but I'd still have him every day over Alex Gillead.

    He beat his opponent quite a few times to be fair. He never looked completely under control though and the end product was missing but you could say that about all 3 of the attacking midfielders. I don't really think he was any worse than the other 2 if I'm honest.

    My view is that the attacking midfielders are probably a weaker link than Smallwood and Gilliead. The goal return is notably poor. If they were scoring at a rate of around 1 goal every 3 games (rather than the current 1 in 6), we would have a goals scored ratio more akin to the top teams and with 8 more goals would have turned some draws into wins! Chapman has scored a single goal in 23 league games. Wright and Banks are slightly better with a return of 3 each over fewer appearances. Frankly it is not good enough. This team relies far too heavily on Cook.

    I agree they aren't doing enough but out of every midfielder we have mentioned there is one consistent omission in any sort of goal contribution.

    I'll let you work out who that is from the table below .....

    If that's true (and with players of colour in our team then I would doubt it) then the person(s) involved must be really thick.

    The 'Warwick Road End' is the 'home' terrace.

    Racist chanting in the most recent game, failure to observe the minute's silence for the fire.

    Carlisle fans are showing themselves up as real scumbags.

    They are a bit strange up there anyway. Must be something in the water. Try having a night out on Botchergate, it's the only place I've ever been where the police have manned barriers at each end of a street on a Friday & Saturday, not only to stop traffic, but to contain people in there.

    Ok folks just to put a few things 'straight' so as none of this is taken too much out of context.
    The barriers on 'Botchergate' are to stop traffic on Friday and Saturday nights, nothing else, in the past there has been issues with people spilling out of pubs and walking straight into the middle of the road, a guy had serious injuries a few years back.
    The racist chanting is unforgivable to be quite honest, although it has to be said I didn't hear anything at the time and its only just come to light, which suggests it was only a handful of morons, but if true then I hope the perpetrators get banned for life.
    The 'disrespect' for your minutes silence last season (for the fire victims) was also 'unforgivable', but it has to be said I think there was only a couple of idiots (99.9% of us respected it fully) and most other people were telling them 'to shut the **** up', but I suppose that's what you get when a much bigger away following turns up than normal.
