We need to start winning football matches before we get cut adrift..... FAILED

We are getting harder to score against, teams are having to work harder against us..... FAILED

We work tirelessly on defending in training..... FAILED

We need to give the fans something to cheer about..... FAILED

16 games in and O'Brien and on occasions, Jodi Jones have been our ONLY shining lights. Without O'Brien we might well of had a grand total of 3/4 points.

Another dismal display today, Luton probably wont have an easier win all season, without having to get out of 1st gear.

I did hear Stilly was taken ill at half time but he was thankfully back at the dugout midway through the 2nd half. Hopefully nothing serious!

Not good is it D4E.

I have stayed out of the Wayne in or out debate, as I think the problems run a lot deeper than just Wayne, but I have to say something has to change now. We are honestly on target to become that team you get once every few years who is relegated by the end of Feb. I just cannot see how we will ever win a game again at the moment,

Oddly enough I thought Jodi Jones had a bit of a mare yesterday. He failed to even pressure their guy on 50/50s or 40/60s either way on several occasions, and was caught on his heels several times when he should have antipated something might come his way. The classic was when JC chased down and won the ball in the far corner and crossed in with Jodi standing watching in front of us until he actually won it, meaning Griffiths had an easy header back to the keeper instead of being under pressure.

It was good to hear Justin Hoyte coaching from on the pitch though, and the couple of things Jodi did do well were after Hoyte told him to make runs or take people on. I wasn't surprised when Jodi was subbed, but didn't think the loanee that came on added much TBH.

He's allowed to, he is 18.
In current times crictising a Jones performance should be at the very bottom of the list.

True enough, but he's currently our "star player" apparently (quote from a while back, can't recall the exact source), which says it all about how poor we are when the management are lumping pressure on him.

Our other "stars" are Zavon Hines (AKA sicknote) and Andre Boucaud...
