Punished.

Is the commentator watching the same game?

I mean if his level is Derry, his level isn't us. Good luck to him though.

Whatever you do today, don't check yesterday's score.

Atkinson, whoever... Anyone but Vyner.

I can't believe at 5-2 down I'm not too upset, probably because I wasn't expecting anything. Bar Vyner, who's utterly awful, I think we've looked alright. I feel for Kala's who's thinking for his own and others games ATM. Ignore today's result and there are some positive signs moving forward. Semenyo is the striker we needed this January - get spending any money we have or can on a centre back, right back and a winger if all or any are possible. Brutal afternoon though against these, so clinical and clearly targeting our weakness.

VYNER AGAIN DOING NOTHING FFS

Vyner again, so weak on the line.

Semenyo looks the real deal!

Can only guess because we don't have enough options. Let's face it, if he came from Lens and Taylor Moore can from the academy Vyner would be at Hearts and Moore would be here. Both are nowhere near the level required here.

As he is almost every week.

Sorry to respond to you again. RE: COD - I prefer !y wingers to assist and score. COD never does, or will do, either annoyingly. Would like to see us move on at the end of his contract.

I think what he says is fair enough. They don't score their goal had we been better in and around the box (mainly looking at CODs finishing and crossing), Conway had a chance beforehand too. Against this level of side you have to take your chances. That being said I also agree with you on him not stating anything positive. We played very well over 70% of the pitch and imo were the better side for 95 mins.

Punished for some very poor finishing and play in the final third. Would like to see a couple of wingers brought in for sure. If we could get a few players in things will start looking much brighter based on what we're starting to see.

Exactly. The aim for the next 2-3 years will be avoid relegation - nothing out of the club suggests otherwise. Bad feeling that won't be achievable if we're relying on our academy players to ensure that.

TBH I felt the same before last season. He's aging very well and was the "must sign" of last summer for me. Not at all surprised he's one of our most important players nowadays.

Gotta say I thought the starting line up looked shocking defensively and so it played out but well done to him for not only making the changes but firing up the side at half time leading to a brilliant turnaround. I hope this is the wake up call the club needs. Before the likes of Bryan and Reid the Academy produced no one of real note for most of the previous 20 years. We've now gone to believe we can almost wholly rely on it where it is quite clear a number of the youngsters aren't ready or maybe never will be for this level in all reality. Let's invest in some transfers and kick on to give us some hope for the next season now. Well done Nige.

Get in!!!!!

You sound a bit fragile. Pearson sorted this at HT, fair play to him for that. Glad he promptly saw enough of some of the youngsters and their lacking ability at this level. COYR

Yep. I said before hand I didn't like it and thought we'd need 3 goals to get anything. I think I'm wrong, we'll probably need 4.

The second was caused by the ease of Afobe getting away from Towler imo. To slow to react to what was happening in front of him. Dont wanna dig him out but this is what happens when you put players not capable of this level against the likes of Afobe and Bradshaw. Shocking decision to play him today imo.

Just a moment ago it was two. Gonna have to trust the Grimsby fans on this one. COYR

Sorry, you're not correct. He's started twice since the end of October in the league, one in the cup, and was entirely dropped in all other games. Edit, not entirely dropped just didn't get off the bench.

Odd, the Grimsby fans online were saying otherwise. Not doubting you but just passing on what they were saying.

I thought he'd been benched for his last month or so there following poor form?
