We look poorly coached and have for a while now to be honest. We don't defend very well, can't keep the ball and don't look like scoring many goals. We may get lucky and stay up this season but can't see it being too many more seasons until we are back in league one.

I watched the first half and got to say it was so embarrassing I decided not to bother with the second half. 

We had 3 player booked for basically time wasting at 0-0 in the first half against a side a couple of places above us.

We don't seem to practice any patterns of play in terms of when we have possession. Tactic just seems to be get the ball in the box quickly and be a threat at set plays. 

The football is just so negative and boring. It's also outdated now as well. I was willing to give Pearson time but it's got to the point that I don't even want to watch us play anymore.

I still don't think PSG will win the champions league.

Obviously a great player and one of the greatest ever but when you haven't got the ball you effectively have one player less than the opposition.

Like Ronaldo he's still quality on the ball as is going to score a lot of goals. But and it's a big but, I think to beat the real top sides in Europe nowadays you need players who are just as good off the ball as on it.

Decent player but just not physically strong enough to play centre midfield in the championship. 

Really exciting to see how Scott does! Pleased with that team, although would personally start Kalas ahead of Baker and Nagy or Massengo ahead of King.

To be fair I wouldn't be surprised to see Kasey Palmer get good numbers in league one.

I'm not too disheartened by todays result tbh. Yes very annoying we threw away a 2 goal lead and they were there for the taking.

However think we showed again that we have enough to stay up this season. Wade Elliott was excellent as was Maloney. Had Elliott not been subbed off think we would have won.

If we keep few of the lads on loan and get a decent old fashioned target man think we will do alright next season.

Only slight critism for me is jet who I feel needs to get in the box more. Just isn't an out and out striker and the formation we are playing think we would benefit from playing a target man.

He's one of those blokes you meet and think what a ..... Cocky for no reason having him as manager in league two just depresses me.

That's just the sort of attitude we don't need .

Why can't we beat a team who are close to us in the same division.? We should expect be able to beat anyone in this league.

and, sorry,no,what's killing us is us .

What's killing us is we are not very good. Nothing to do with the fans another good away following today.

The league table right now is very worrying. Lets hope it looks better come 5 o clock!

Will be pleased with a point. Orient lost their last two so could be a good time to play them.

Apart from his off day Saturday that involved creating a chance for Cunningham that he should have done better with and 2 chances for Baldock that helped to spark the debate on this thread on whether he wastes too many chances.

I've seen players have good games and do less.

There have been games this season when its been like literally playing with one less player. I'm not saying hes a bad player there's no doubt ability wise hes the best we have. I'm just saying that his work rate is poor and his lack of movement off the ball is poor. I also think he slows down our play too much.

But as mentioned its not the strikers we should be complaining about. If we kept more clean sheets we would be in a much better position.

Feel sorry for Baldock personally. Runs his socks off every game. As hes said is just going through a bad patch atm however has still scores a decent amount of goals. Imagine how many he will get in this league when hes inform. People need to remember hes still young as well will get better.

Baldock when hes not scoring offers work rate and stretches the game with some clever off the ball runs. Same cant be said about jet who when he has an off day offers nothing. That being said we have two of the best strikers in this league the defence and midfield lets us down sadly.

Thought I'd do some ratings.

 

Parish.......6..Didn't have a lot to do but had me feeling jittery a few times

Moloney...7..competent performance and put in some good crosses

Flint..........8..solid and had the attributes required for today's game

Williams...8..read the game well and one superb challenge.

Cunningham.6.should have made better use of the possession he had, and of course one bad mistake that could have been costly.

Wagstaff..6..put in a good shift but for me some poor decision making, and missed a good opprtunity.

Elliott.......8.5..outstanding, difficult to see how some can criticise that perfomance

Emm-Thom..9..desevedly mom, some good defensive stuff too.

Bryan......7.... similar comment to Wagstaff, a good shift marred by some poor decision making at times

Taylor.....6.5...not at his best but some good work

Baldock..7.5..took his goal well and put in a good shift

 

subs.

Pack........6..didn't really make an impact

Carey......didn't put a foot wrong.

 

Manager; good team selection and lots of positive energy. Well done.

Cant argue with those ratings. Marv was brilliant best hes played for a while. Hope we continue to play that formation.  

He certainly wouldnt be a long term choice.

Seems a bizarre comment to make IMO. Wouldnt make me feel particularly wanted if I was JET and think it sends the wrong impression to the dressing room and fans. Poor timing just as the feel good factor was starting to come back kind of rains on our parade a bit.

Isnt he a Sheringham like striker?

Perhaps Hearts have a decent manager who can get the best out of players, something we havnt had for sometime. Also shows what a squad we have when the players who cant even make the bench every week are doing well for other clubs Miller,Goodfellow & Gillespie all hardly get a look in at city yet all have been class for the teams they have gone on-loan too

Got BCFChris to thank for that. Got hold of a load of masks and it just seemed like a good idea for a laugh. That simple.

Fairplay BCFChris chance of having different masks everygame (Hulk ones next ) or you going to stay with the santa ones?

Port Vale when even at 3-0 you never stopped singing,and with a sense of humour(were go'a win 4-3)Keep it up.

that was funny

Yep good to hear the subbers and what was with people wearing the santa masks?
