Re: Gutless.

If Femi goes it is a failing of the manager rather than the player. He did very well under Still and has been poor ever since Burnett took over. He slaughters the guy every week from the touchline and seemingly can't manage him to perform the way John could. I've been going over the daggers for 18 y...

Re: Torquay

I think sections of the crowd are very harsh on Dickson. He can't finish but he gets involved and gives us a focal point. To contrast that with Norris who hasn't turned up for weeks and looks like he wants to be on the beach.

Re: Torquay

He improved the style for a few months. At the moment we pass the ball in front of teams slowly and go absolutely nowhere. Then Saah bangs it long.

Re: Torquay

He does seem to be angry quite a lot and lays into our players quite a bit. It can't be good for them to get ripped into every time they make a mistake. Maybe this is part of the reason our performances have dropped off. Fwiw I think the best thing he's done is the quality of his signings. Saah, Hin...

Re: Beyond Embarassing

We were on the back foot and had to go to one up front as they were bossing the midfield. Norris doesn't do anywhere near enough in those situations, not great at holding it up and doesn't work particularly hard. For all his faults Dickson does stop the ball coming straight back a bit more. He's sti...

Re: Luke Norris

I agree Lee. Good player but being hyped a bit. He's had a few off games where he's barely been in the game or looked like he wanted to be. Skilful though. Would be a good signing but I think he'd have better options.

Re: One word to describe that...

Boring game like many recent home games. They came for a point and got it but once we took the lead it should have been killed. So often we've struggled to get that goal but today we got it and then just stopped playing. Too many players were walking for too much of the second half. Thought the forw...

Re: Argh!

The shoving annoys me. Half the time he's pushing somebody when the ball has come in. By the time he's finished the ball is often in our net.

Tbh I'd give a penalty as soon as the corner is taken.

Re: Another winger

Emergency loan is a misleading term. It is just a short term loan, ie, less than window to window.

I think we actually need a winger. We only have Hines Elito and Shields, one of which is missing and one deemed not ready. Azeez is being played out of position.

Re: Take a Bow Mr Ward

I guess it is indicative of the crap we have to put up with when I thought he did OK. Couple of bizarre decisions in there though.

Re: Mansfield.

I think a few people are being a bit harsh here. We played quite well today. We were comfortably the better side after the first 20 minutes, and played some nice football in patches. We had several good chances and if we take one we win the game. Games are often tight and if we score one of our chan...

Re: will we get sucked into relegation fight

Since start of Dec we have the worst record in the division. We have won twice in 13 I think? We aren't playing well and we don't look a good side. We have better players on paper than last season but it doesn't appear to be making much difference. We make the same errors at the back, we can't defen...

Re: What formation...

Amazed at the lack of support for Murphy tbh. For me Norris has done equally little in the games he's played and like Murphy also can spend 89 mins anonymous and then score.

Re: FFS

You indeed can't take every booked player off, but if they keep running at your full back and he's on a yellow it would make sense.
