As said first pretty good second half we never got started mom(first half)dodoo had their full back on toast so don't understand why we switched him 2nd half 

I've seen this said a few times this afternoon.  Dodoo was only switched to the other wing on 80 minutes which was fair enough as he (& Politic) had done nowt in the 2nd half.

Thought they scored at the end though but the lad took too long to get his shot out 

so frustrating when you think we could of had another 10points which would of give us a fighting chance 

Missed last minute of extra time and Matthews save, what is frustrating is January when we sent players back with key players out and had no replacements just a few wins in that period could of given us a chance.

This. Dodoo went out of game badly for 20 mins after that ankle knock, we did same as a team from about 50 mins to that switch then finished stronger apart from that last attack of theirs. 

Not a bad game to be fair,  Accrington were honest and had two or three with a bit of quality. First half from us was good apart from final ball or effort at goal.

Dodoo had a great first half second not so good as they changed tactics 

Not much on rhs but twice Lowe made good runs & was ignored 

Could have lost in the end we don’t seem to deal with big boot up the middle losing too many second balls.Matthews saved us at the end don’t understand why he gets criticised so much.

Politic tried to pass the ball around their penalty box he should stick to what comes natural & shoot every time.

Bench left us without many ways to change things, he could have maybe put Bunney in front of Fleming for more protection and to cancel out their right hand side but not sure what he could have done to mix it up when Crawford became more and more anonymous in the second half.

Should have held my nerve but cashed out just before one of our corners at around 70 mins in case we had a moment of magic, should know better by now.

Their number 7 is decent mind.

He was quality that Jordan Clark, never heard of him but one of the best individual displays against us at Macron in this terrible league.

In 'normal' circumstances just the type of player we should be taking off our smaller rivals, maybe one for 2021 being optimistic.

Our left side was an absolute liabilty second half

The left back v their right winger was reminiscent of alonso v duff

Destroyed him, but to be fair fleming got no help from dodoo

I quite like Fleming's attitude and ability to win headers against taller players, and some short passing is impressive, but no way is he better than Chicksen.  Slower, and distribution in attacking positions abysmal, not one decent cross today from many attempts, as usual.  Nothing against him but total mystery why Chicksen isnt here for this season and next minimum.  Bunney hasn't played much but nothing to say he's better than Chicksen so far, and anyway we need 2 left backs as with every other position.

Fully agree, dropped our standard second half but it’s a step in the right direction. 

That's an understatement.  First half in top 5 performances of season, 2nd half as bad as attacking wise as we've seen, down there with Wycombe, Burton and Rochdale 2nd halves.  Accrington the worst team we've failed to score against at home this season under Hill.  But we did deserve to score in the 1st half, some excellent football and without Politic joining in.  A breath of fresh air to see Crawford back in action and Dodoo showed he's got something to offer when he's in the mood.

Its one of the mysteries of the season how a keeper that looks too good for us gets stick.  We should be bigging him up and begging him to stay.  Try looking at the keepers we play against every week in this terrible league, he'd walk into most teams and was (again) our best player today, consistent for 90 minutes.  I'm not saying he doesnt make mistakes, like all keepers, but just not as many as the majority of keepers I see in every division every week.

It was a surprise to me that as the game drifted away from us none of the subs were warming up.

I was hoping he'd shift Lowe into the middle for L Murphy and get Emmanuel attacking down the right.  Lowes crossing in the first half was awful but he did make a couple of 30 yard runs which were ignored so perhaps that wouldn't have worked.  It would have been an attacking change though when we had so few forward options on the bench.
