We’ve got 7 points in the last 3 away matches. And should have at least a point here

It would be good if we could just pick our best 3 away games rather than all 10, especially as 1 of the 3 was against 10 men.

Should be 2-0 up, we're 2-1 down.

But, yeah, its not a problem missing an open goal.

Fair enough but the three players you mentioned would not have got in that position, but yes he should of got two today

Just saying its about right were we are in the table we’re not better than the teams above us this quality squad that keeps being brought up is a load of bollocks there no better than the players in teams above us . We probably have 3 players that the opposition would like in there starting eleven and two are on loan . we have paid a lot in transfer fees . Mcatee and Randall a million pound on them 2 and no one above us would want them for example

SS needs to change this system away from home it’s not working . Feel sorry for Dalby his game is receiving balls into the box but our wingers are just cutting inside.

[Wanderlust]

Any team in the top half that can string a few wins together will be right in the mix and we haven’t reached the halfway point yet. Today’s results just confirmed how fine the margins are this year. Bit of tweaking in January and it could be us setting the pace.

It was in reference to our away ‘form’

We need a new manager

Correct we need to go 4/3/3  with both Simons Erhahon with either Sheehan or Dempsey and look at dropping one of the wingers.

 

Teams are hitting us when our full backs push forward.....Been doing it for the last five years

We did a good job killing it off in that 3 minutes just before HT.

We'll ignore that eh. Ten 1st half minutes out of 94 did us today, when we totally switched off in a game we dominated. One stat, says a lot, 15 shots, 1 on target

Disappointing result and very disappointing second half. Thought we played pretty well until they scored two quick goals.

Second half we were poor and didn't seem to play with any real urgency. Simons was unlucky with his shot and obviously Gale should have scored before he did. Apart from that we failed to threaten them.

Not good enough today.

[Eddie]

First 25 was brilliant, as ever we should have had more than we did, but we looked a cut above.

Next 20 was ‘lacklustre’. The goals had misfortune in both of them with 2 untimely slips, and I genuinely think the first doesn’t go in without it (2nd maybe as Conway wasn’t close enough). Not sure we deserved to be going in behind though.

2nd half was average, some good stuff, some poor stuff, we were unlucky in hitting the post but the subs definitely looked to weaken us.

Ultimately a loss here in isolation as part of a longer run of good form isn’t terrible. Wycombe are a decent team and we aren’t going to win every game to the end of the season. Obviously as part of our away record it’s concerning, but we have just got 7 points from 9 so it’s not like we are completely useless away from home.

Results in the main have gone in our favour. Annoying we didn’t capitalise but at least we haven’t fallen behind (points wise). The next 4 games should see 10 points at least and if they do then this result can be forgotten.

You need to wean yourself off the drugs 

[worthy10]

Starting 11 looked good on paper, but on slippery grass....

2 unfortunate slips by defenders the the 2 goals.

A start for dalby and don't cross it.

Conway was weak again. Got worse after a promising start to the season.

Dempsey was lost.

Sheehan was good and shouldn't have been subbed so early.

Simons, at the beginning of the season, I called him a rolls Royce. He looked strong and moved the ball forward well. he is now pre disposed to moving the ball sideways and backwards and seems scared to shoot.

burstow has gone backwards too. Maybe his early form/goals were a blip and hull know him better than we do.

on paper we have a squad that should be doing much better. Our away form is awful.

Doubting SS again, sorry to say.

This is a poor league, so we might be in with a chance still.

I can't remember the last time we played a game well and won with ease?

[Whitesince63]

Ok, I know I got pelters last time I brought this up but yet again I see having an individual as good as ACD can be a disadvantage and yet again today was a good example as he was largely anonymous and didn’t seem to even try to get crosses in to Dalby. Yes, he’s a quality player but is he what we need, I don’t think so? In fact other than TSL I’d question keeping any of our loans if Schumacher is going to continue with his current system. One up top is just bobbins in this league, even if it was a really good one up there but none of ours can play that role without support. Either way unless the forwards are going to get some service, all the pretty possession stuff is pointless. Either change the system, drop a winger and play two up top and get some bloody balls forward quicker, we have become so slow, or change the personnel. At the back can anyone tell me what Will Forrester’s done to SS who continually ignores him. For me he’s a better all round defender than either Toal or Forino, never lets the team down when he does play, yet is constantly ignored. I’m honestly beginning to lose faith in SS and I think some of the players may be too?

Easiest three points they’ll get all season that. 
 

Schumacher needs to sort this rotation bollocks out. Get a settled team and fucking play it. 

He'd just get accused of having his favourites then.  Eg would Simons be in that team?  Burstow? 

Anyway the next few games are going to be a rotation fest for better or worse 😀

Back to everything being a short sighted single game view I see.

Before today we were 8 unbeaten in the league and had taken 20 points from 10 games.

So out of interest, how many good results in a row do we have to have before one loss sees you ‘doubt’ the manager?

A loss is shit, I get it, but surely we’ve got to keep some perspective?

Really frustrating that today . The away goals ratio needs sorting urgently if we have any intentions of going up , in 10 games we have scored more than 1 goal ONCE , that's nowhere near good enough for a team with promotion ambition I'm afraid.

The best 4 posts which try to explain and express the problems and frustrations this team give us, but don’t overreact with emotional surrendering bollocks. 

It’s not good enough to lose from a position of authority.

As always a sense of perspective about other teams around us is needed.

But we can’t kept relying on others doing us favours, in future, we’ve got to come out of games like that with at least a point, otherwise top two will not be possible. 

 

[Hoppy]

There are not many away games this year we have scored 2 or more goals unless we address this we will not gain too many away points

We had great stats under Evatt.

I don’t see us pushing for the premier league.

You're wasting your time mate. The morons on here who seem to revel in every loss wouldn't even be happy if we won every single game for the duration of a season. That's why they go silent when we win.

[waffer cup 07]

7 points from next 3 games is a must, if were going to challenge.
