Just been reading their forum, obviously not a happy bunch, "well beaten by a bottom 4 team" was one comment I particularly liked. Great result.

Probably water-logged, but Plainmoor is quite high up!

I just voted yes in the "will we go down thread" and we equalise! Any other pessimistic threads I can contribute to so we can score again? :-)

Haven't heard his post match comments so no idea really! But I hope so.

Certainly looking that way. Cotts says we don't have the players for 4-4-2. But we were at our best today in that formation. We sure looked clueless playing 3-5-2.

We looked a lot better with the players who finished the game, than with those who started. Be interesting to see if SC opts to start with Burns and also play Jet "in the hole" on Tues. Also Flint and El Abd looked more solid as a central pairing. First half was very poor though. Reid looked completely out of his depth today.

At times I thought Flint looked like a giraffe trying to kick the ball.

Some odd reactions on here. As though we were suddenly storming up the league and playing great football. Well having seen pretty much every home game for many many seasons. I haven't seen much progress. We were hopeless against Sheff U. And only looked better against Orient in the second half because they were attacking us and the game opened up. SOD failed to put out a team with any fight in them last season, and this season we appear to be on course for another drop. People talk about insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome, in reference to the board. Well how about repeatedly playing a short lightweight striker on his own up front every game even when it quite clearly doesn't work. If, who ever comes in, improves results, those over reacting to SOD's departure will come round I've no doubt. Personally I don't care who comes in as long as they can put out a team who can start picking up a few more wins, 'cause under this guy they've been few and far between.

Endorse that view whole-heartedly. He looks really useful, it was not an easy time to get into the game and make any sort of impression but I thought he did well. A few others could learn from that approach.
