Delf was in the paper this week saying the ground was too hospitable for away sides. Maybe we've got them changing in a portakabin outside

We look disjointed as a team week in week out, nobody picking up second balls in midfield, and like Eyre keeps saying, seems the only ones putting in cresses are our strikers, not great , but we go again 2nd half

Jones and Isgrove - pointless (Isgrove cost Brockbank a booking)

Delfonso & Doyle - both playing midfield and centre forward

Eyre saying we have better players, gotta disagree, its every game we say that, until they start performing, and 20 games in I've seen nothing.

No second balls won, second to everything, cant pass, cant tackle and no intent from any of them.

Positives: it's still 0-0

 

Brockbank’s inexperience cost Brockbank a booking. Diving in when he was losing the race rather than waiting for the Crawley player to naturally slow down as he got to the ball first and get goal side. He’ll learn from it though.

John McGinlay used to put some great crosses in at Burnden. That said, he had Andy Walker to aim at.

Going worse every game; like somebody said Isgrove and Jones are pointless; useless 

Another bad game from our forwards and Sarc has had a shocker as well

I think he left the year I arrived, think he went to Rochdale 

[MickyD]

Jones on the ball in acres of space (according to pundit) and his close dribbling kicked the ball straight to the right back.

isgrove on the left would have been productive, Jones wasted loads of good ball.  Why not switch Isgrove to the left and get him in the game ? What is pointless is playing both in the wrong position.

Agreed.  Its clear as day they've got better players, at least in possession.  Arguably we've got a better striker but its irrelevant if he doesn't get a sniff of a chance from 1 week to the next.  I'd have any of their midfielders for any of our's on today's showing and we've got 1 hand tied behind our back playing a system that makes us worse both defensively and offensively.

This:

 

It was me 😂.

It was more aimed at the Bi-Polar rants which which are expressed as definitive facts while the result is unknown. Don’t mind the expressing of opinion which today seems to be fair. 
 

I still maintain its not for me, just the same as when I’m at the game, phone stays in my pocket. Granted I can moan and chat with my two lads while the games on 😊.

Even game so far, could go either way, these two WBs are certainly not the future and I think IE knows that. I think Greenidge has been ok.

[little whitt]

whos theses two chatting shit 

[frank_spencer]

Can't win the 2nd ball across the whole side.

no good punting the ball up to Doyle or Fonz when no bugger picks up the knock down either from Bolton or the Crawley defender.

Same in our own half losing the ball from the defenders all the time too

Aye he did leave years ago. Was well thought of there for quite a while

I think he speaks very well but he is certainly over positive

[kent_white]

Surprised to read so many negative comments. I think we've played alright. Not setting the world on fire but I think we've been the better side overall. 

[DazBob]

We seem to have no midfield presence at all, which is baffling as Sarcevic, Tutte and Thomason should be plenty good enough.

Hopefully a big improvement in second half as it feels like we're just waiting for the inevitable goal against us.

[famouswanderer]

Having no left wingback fucks us over so badly.

Missing kioso too. Both wing back positions really costing us today

He admitted that himself in the comms said he coached 6 of the players in his career so is a bit biased

I'm a 3screen wanker so got the game on one, WW on another and twatter on the 3rd. Whatsapp open on my phone

Football is about being sociable and as I can't watch with my mates you lot get it

 

[Rudy]

We should be winning. Isgrove squares it and it’s 1-0. Cannot believe he shot from that angle

Should be good enough and there's 3 of the fuckers but I've pondered the same thing

I don't think they're close enough together

Same with Delf and Doyle

Do they need a captain, shouting and prompting etc?
