Maybe characters the wrong word then Farelli, I mean we lack anybody with leadership. I just think we lack somebody on the pitch who can dictate things, encourage and gee up players. Nobody seems to do that it’s all too polite. I just don’t think IE seems to like that kind of player, maybe he feels a bit threatened by it? 

What on earth are you on about? Go and sleep it off. Things will look better tomorrow 

[Lostock Whites]

Also there might be another topic created on this, but me personally, these players are either not good enough to keep/re-sign, that's if we want to finish in the top 2.

Thomason, Kachunga, Williams, nlundulu, Jerome, Dixon, Isgrove, Shoretire, Mbete. All out for me. 

Adebeyejo - Question Mark for now. Have to back him for the money paid but he's pony so far, big season ahead for him.

When you look at it, shows how poor our January window was jeez.

We need and have needed for a long while a midfield bastard, that lad Kane for them tonight was more effective than any one we had in there. 

[tshape]

Not too down about it leaving the ground which tells me I never expected much from tonight deep down. It felt and feels more like a missed opportunity than a failure. Don't get me wrong it's frustrating losing over two legs to side that I honestly feel we are better than but I don't know, just feel like I can't get angry or critical about it.

I fully expect us to be up and around the automatics next season.

Agree you can’t go up just by playing pretty football we need to mix it up

all the teams above us have some steel or a bastard or 2

Needed one since Karl Henry and we needed him for 2 years before we signed him. Got to be someone of that ilk out there. Wish we could have three Kyle Dempseys in midfield.

Even man city, they had Fernandinho, Zabaleta, kolorav etc some nasty but class players. Almost all of our team are soft. 

Morley has no presence about him in the midfield, I think in his head he thinks he is scholes or something, do you ever see him commit fouls, be aggressive, win the ball back? Same with Sheehan, Thomason etc to lightweight in midfield.

Dempsey I like, he has the quality but tenacity you need. We need a good young aggressive centre mid. I'd kill for us to have a Luca Connell in midfield, I take him any day over Morley.

Twitter mainly.

though a few on here seem to never have a good word for Evatt.

it’s a minority. But it’s tedious.

This made me chuckle at least.

There was a Peterborough player last night who had that kind of presence, Oliver Norburn. Also a Bolton lad. Worth a  punt?

I just think it's too basic to say if we had an enforcer we would of beat them etc etc. 

Just do the thing you are good at and do it well. When we do it well we beat Sunderland 6-0, peterboro 5-0, Plymouth 4-0, Wycombe 3-0 etc etc. 

We don't need a plan b or c or fucking z or lee cattermole type etc. It's just clichéd bollocks. 

We didn't do what we are good at well enough over two legs. We play like we play. We sign players to fit the way we play. Hopefully in the summer we will some holes and improve in the base we built this season .

Technically Morley is on another level to Connell. Not even close 

[BeeversLeftPeg]

Probably a hurts a little more as it feels like we haven't done ourselves justice. 

Roll on 23/24. You guys that had tickets tonight, well done.

 

Up the fucking whites.

I did not say we would have won but if you look at the team and results over a season, we are brilliant when the football flows but we struggle when it get attritional. We play 3 in midfield they are Dempsey, Morley and AN other we need a leader in there. 
It is not cliched bollocks it us a reflection on our performances , today and against the better teams we need more in there.

Morley nowhere near Connell last couple of games.

Do you mean a level above or a level below ? 
I like Morley but he has had a very poor end to the season.

Kane spent more time on his back over the course of the two games than a cheap hooker. Not exactly the characteristic of a midfield bastard.

I know. I read it as him saying Morley is technically better than Connell based on his earlier post.

Overall we have had a good season need to have a re-think on the squad. 
Players out of contract doubt I would resign any of them , Bod is made of glass and Lee his legs have gone the others doubt they would be missed. 
Dan can go back to Southampton and we could do with selling Vic he’s bobbins. 
We need a LWB a RWB 2 tough midfielders and 2 strikers and a goal keeper but down to IE now he’s the manager . 

Spot on

Did he win free kicks and control play ?

If we score early, chances are we'll get a hat full.

If we don't we get Accrington, Barnsley x 2, etc.

Let’s not beat around the bush. We were shit over both legs and deserved fuck all. We go again next season but with who fuck knows.
