Get ready to boo

They were like that in the first game, they’re well known for it. Even santos got bullied 

Yeh thats all it takes to beat us at the moment - a bit of muscle and determination and we roll over to have our bellies tickled.

We’re too much of a soft touch.

I didn’t think Wycombe looked a good side. Workmanlike & experts in shithousery maybe, but football wise i thought they were fairly mediocre.

'Do just enough' was how commentator described it, a great trait to have as opposed to whatever we 'do'?

We shouldn't be playing football past 10pm on a week night.

We didn’t.

We stopped @ 9-15.

The amount of challenges Thomason half went into did my Fuckin head in, leave a foot hanging for a 50-50. 
 

To be fair to him he goes and shows for every ball doesn’t go missing but I wouldn’t back him for winning any 50-50s

Nah, we stopped at the end of last September.

I'm off to bed, I'm beginning to have had enough of this Mr Evatt. I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow.

Feel sorry for the guys who went to the match tonight

The way we play Baka should not be playing out wide , it’s utterly pointless 

First game i saw him play for us he was mint. He looked like a battering ram striker who scored.

That was an issue last season too, where we weren't even sticking up for ourselves after fouls, or even attempting game management/time wasting like Wycombe did tonight etc. Then it all changed second half of the season.

I don't know how or why but we've reverted to looking small and weak again. We lack leaders, big time. Making Santos captain looks to have been a huge error to me, he's shrunk in the role, not grown.

Our bench was so light today

You are making a lot of excuses for some reason . It was utter shit especially second half if you had to sit through it . Might look different on ifollow 

They looked very strong and physical,   reminded me of rotherham at our place but not as organised.

Jones will make a big difference and fossey in front of him looked promising, raw pace that no full back likes.

For me, Santos slows the game to much,  fine when we are leading but tonight he just seems to lumber about when urgency is needed and he is not a captain.

Mj seems off the pace yet but that will come back .

Oh and anybody know of a decent keeper coming to the end of his contract 

Seriously Fossey when he got moved forward is the only one who comes out with any credit there. Absolutely soft as shit & fearful all the rest. A midfield three that don't create nor win any duals, a defense that can't deal with a simple long punt, pathetic goalkeeping a position what we haven't properly addressed in years. Morley will be an assett but surely we need to use funds to invest in some leaders & experience who can keep us up. Charles too... Great signing on paper but all his 20 goals came in a partnership of two up top of him & Colby Bishop has Dion ever played up top on his own?

We also have some height and muscle with baka, but he is may as well have not played for all he uses it

He's a centre forward and nothing else, for me. And one with a streaky goal scoring record at that, but that's a different story. Playing him on the wing is an absolute waste of time, may as well stick Fossey there now Jones is back. Or try Dapo on the right to shake it up because he's another one who's gone missing.

Not making excuses. That’s not an excuse. I didn’t watch on ifollow 

It's going to be a long, long time befote I call for Evatt's head, but he's got to get his shit together.

He has a distraction at present but if it's preventing him doing his job clearly then he should step out a little.

I thought that when I saw the pre match video of the players arriving. It looked like the game was taking place in Russia.

You are 100% correct.

Leadership is too much for many people.

He is one of those.

Nobody on that team talks at all.

MJ appears more captaincy material to me.

It’s not good same problems since the Wigan defeat bullied quite easily look what Stockport did to us they bullied us IE needs to sort this out get some physicality in this team before the window closes.

Change of system needed getting over run in midfield same old story go a goal down game over IE really needs to sort this out!

 

We play with 3 centre mids and are still getting over run. I think the personnel is the issue not the system. Kieran Lee is still not fit enough. Thomason is weak as piss and slow and Williams isnt quick. They are all too similar aswell. All equally as shit as each other tonight. 

Our lack of aggression or determination is an embarrassment.

Last December and Jan, we won 2 games from 10.

Too cold for these lads.

Same old, look really lively for 25 minutes with nothing to show for it then conceed a soft goal. Rinse and repeat every week

Relegation battle now, not sure of this lot have the fight in them to get out of it 

Fossy and Charles the only positives

Yes, when the midfield is as inadequate as it is it's a fundamental problem. The reason we conceded so few goals in the second half of last season was because we addressed the problems in midfield.

But it still shouldn't be as bad as it is.

Not a million miles away as some would make out. Dixon. Thomason. Bakayoko categorically NOT good enough. First goal crucial if we are to turn our fortunates around as the mental strength of our players is weak.

Dixon is shit, John is a liability too, midfield is bobbins, lots of work to do.

Be reet.
