Bet you don’t 

Nah, I won't.

He's a nice boy really.

He just lets the game flow a bit too much IMO.

TBF, he let Santos off earlier with a couple of dodgy ones that were similar to the incident that led to their goal.

We aren't physical enough at all - as soon as a team gets stuck in, we don't compete with them.

We pissed them for the first 40 minutes.

I don't think January can come soon enough at the minute. A decent performance up to their goal and then it was pretty much clueless from there in .

Far too much backward passing and over playing between players , sometimes the thing just needs playing up to the forwards and let them have a go at their backline . A perfect example in the 4th minute of injury time Baptiste gets a free kick near the halfway line , instead of playing it in to the mixer , he plays it to Santos who plays it to Delaney who plays a cross field pass straight out of play , I mean WTF is that about.

I'm beginning to wonder if  Sarcevic needs playing further forward from the start and if  that's at the expense of Crawford then so be it.

Agree, needs a couple of nastier players in there. Need more grit than guile at this level

Them 2 need shipping out in January for sure. White should be easy to get rid of assuming a break close is in the deal

Hopefully Crawford goes with them. I really can't take any more of him. Absolute waste of a shirt.

Manages to make himself busy but contributes fuck all.

He's like the waster in the office who walks around chatting to everyone, but holding a clipboard to give the impression he's doing something.

Santos has gone back to where he was early season; thought he better last week than today and that's saying something. Its a confidence thing and since the loss of Tutte in midfield we have been at 6's and 7's.

We are a mid table team in a shit standard league; thats how bad it really is. 

Correct.

We will know a lot more about them after our next 2 aways against top 3 teams, in front of their fans.

Thing is, deep down I think we already know the answer.

We are say 7 points of the play off pack; if we can stay that distance until we get some recruits during the window this season is not yet dead

It’s not happening. Better to get players up to job in in January, ship the shite out and get ready to give it a good go next year.

If by fluke we finished 7th and went up, we’d need 15 new players just to stay up. The club needs to settle down a bit

What an absolute bag of shite from the 43rd minute onwards. That’s orient, vale and Stevenage before these who have scored just before the break to change the 2nd half.

There is no defensive destroyer midfielder in the club. We don’t have any full backs to go to a flat back 4 either.

All of these need addressing and quickly.

At least we’ll get to a lot of these grounds next season because we ain’t getting anywhere near the play offs. Will have enough to be mid table though.

Tomason is nowhere near ready either. May or may not make it but for now shouldn’t be anywhere near the 1st team

I'd question that Dave.  We dont have one full back in the club on either side that suits playing wing backs.  But Jones, or Baptiste or Brockbank, can play right back.  And whilst we do need to sign a real left back, I can't believe Taft, Delaney or Greenidge couldn't fill in.  Or Jones if Baptiste is right back.  Its the pretend wingbacks that's killing us (amongst other things), we simply don't have any and it leaves us exposed.

Therein lies our problem. I’m not convinced we have genuine wing backs and I’m not convinced we have full backs either. We have players who can ‘fill in’ at both jobs.

The flanks and a DM are our weakest positions by a mile - an I know we are desperate for a keeper too but for me, them 3 positions are a gaping hole in our team and opposition teams have sussed it

Fred?

I like Eyre, he speaks well and knows his stuff... but at times feels like he's watching the game through massively BWFC tinted glasses. Despite him saying the exact opposite I never thought at any point we were in complete control of the game today.

I thought Tomason did well with all the shit surrounding him. Sums us up when we get a free kick on half way in the last minute of added time & play the fucker across the back three! 

     Absolute disgrace that 2nd half. Players hiding, half arsed closing down & shithouses turning their backs when making so called challenges. Reminds me of the magic boomerang (showing my age 😁) when defending corners, our lot just rooted to the spot while the game goes on around them

Tinger & Tucker?

Teams have sussed us we are too soft easily bullied as for Evatt stsrting to lose patience 3-5-2 is not working against the better teams in this shit league. He signs 2 shit LWB  no cover in midfield so once are best defensive midfielder gets injured we are fucked.

But he will not change it and I dont have much faith in him to rectify it in January with signings .

We’ve nothing on bench to change it we’ve one formation, it’s too narrow and we don’t get overloads often enough because we’re not passing it quickly enough and to often square. We have to hang onto the coat tails of the playoffs, get shut of at least 3-4 players and bring some width in and another defensive centre mid & hopefully another striker.
