Id say brockbank at centre back was better than hickman at wing back

Not really fair to judge brockbank in a position that isnt his

Could probably make the same defence for hickman, if im honest

Been pleasantly surprised with Brockbank at centre back but do think Hickman offers our best service into the box from open play.

Not really sure what Hickman did so wrong today honestly? I can't remember him losing the ball or giving anything away defensively. Think I noticed his first two crosses were a bit wayward but other than that was a solid performance and was surprised to see him subbed.

We'd have lost that a few weeks ago and the first half was ok so there's been some improvement at least.

Managed to watch it sober as well and didn't criticise iFollow at all so huge positives from a Turnip household point of view.

Mind you, getting wankered now though in the hope of being asleep before the highlights are.on telly.

We have no idea, how to utilise Doyle. Until he gets any kind of service we're going nowhere fast. 

Spot on. He bombed at Bradford because he was just another front man. Swindon's whole game was revolved around him. Get the ball into the box, decent delivery, first time passes to run onto. we are a million miles from that.

Work in progress i get that but where is this delivery going to come from? its the same as this passing from the back we havent got the players to do it not on what we have seen before.

The work is going to take a season not 10 or 15 games its looking like.

Bigger problem tho i cant see anyone back in ground this season and football without fans is pointless. Also reckon football will be totally changed (and not for the better) by time we get back.

There will be NO highlights from that game

Oh dear, really doesn’t get any better does it. 0-0 against a team that hadn’t trained for 2 weeks has got to be yet another new low point in Evatts career.

Why he took off Hickman and Tutte I will never know, Delfonso was absent for much of the game and cant remember much else apart from Santos looking like he could get into United team at the moment sums up the performance.

Are we really going to have to settle for season after season of this from now on ?

Take it you didn’t watch it or you’re expectations are low this season ? We didn’t have a shot 

Yeah I watched it, it wasn’t pretty but considering how unorganised the defence was weeks ago I’m glad we got a clean sheet, that’ll do wonders for the defence in particular Santos who was excellent today. 
It’s about knowing exactly where we are at and taking small steps. 
we’ll be reet.

Said to Radcliffe on FB, I’m thinking this year is a period of bedding in. 2 or 3 crucial changes next summer then go for it next season. We’ve got 20 new players and a new coaching set up. In effect, it’s like a new club

We should walk this division; not going to do but should

Agree with your positive take on things. Defence looks 10x better than FGR, Colchester and Newport matches.

Was massively disappointed with the second half's attacking play though, makes me wonder how Evatt is going to fix it. Is it going to be a "process" that will start to click eventually in this system? Or is he going to have to change our formation/personnel. No shots on target from a team that's supposed to be a "front foot" team is poor. As I've said in a previous post, some nice interplay down the wings but seen little creativity through the middle.

Crawford had a good shot on target 1st half, blocked by defender, keeper wouldnt have got near it.  

And he did hit one about 2 inches wide from a decent free kick, keeper was well beaten.

Agreed, 2nd half no shots, considering the quality of opposition the 2nd half was as bad as any half this season.

Yep. Biggest frustration for me today isn't not getting three points, but not getting it right in the final third. Much improved elsewhere though.

For me it's either Saravic or  Crawford not both playing together 

Thought similar. Tutt behind looked really solid, always available and used the ball sensibly.  Perhaps someone more willing to get into the box?

Or keep them together, and have two strikers closer together to play it into.

I'm sure IE can see it though and will sort it out.

First game I've watched this season, god that sarcevic his shite ☹️

Yeah,don't know whether it's coz he's got a barrel chest, he looks about 2 stone overweight and is as fast as as snail, he's captain, so we've got to persevere.

That was better than I expected actually. Santos is improving, and Brockbank Hickman and Crawford had half decent games.

A clean sheet helps too. Two poor sides really.

Think two poor sides will dump up every game in this division all season mate.
