[Banjo Red]

Lansdowns man doing well.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

One chance and they score!

[INCRED]

Marking non existent, strolled into space, no one within 5 yards and slots in

Yum, more of Mannings raw sewage for us to lap up 

[Lordofthebling]

It's good but quite dangerous to have Naismith laying in like this???

Not telling lies though!

We are ******* abysmal 

[Mike Hunt-Hertz]

Top six, mind.

[archie andrews]

Get bell off ht.... 

[MelksRed]

Taking my Dad to AG on Sat....I'm already embarrassed......

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

Typical. While we haven't posed a great threat we seemed to be controlling things nicely with a measured performance, then one decent ball and it's in the back of our net. 

[The turtle]

great assist that, made it look sooo simple!! not sure we have players to do that with ease.

get in the hole, find space, split defence 1 touch so easily.

Good from Sigurdsson got goal side of Vyner and had him on toast. Everything we don’t have! 

[sephjnr]

More dire off-ball movement, even when in posession. Especially when in posession, too many midfielders in mortal fear of moving to create pass opportunities.

 

[Major Isewater]

Behaviours and processes won’t let us down.

Sorta standard stuff under manning so far. We play lovely stuff but, really, create **** all. 

That’s where I’m an outlier. It’s not lovely if it doesn’t achieve anything. Otherwise it’s just simple ball retention and that’s all I’m seeing; ball retention in non-dangerous areas. If I was opposition manager my tactic would be ‘let them **** around with the ball’

I’d say this is very un manning atm. Not looked to keep the ball at all. Aimless long balls. No lovely stuff that’s for sure

Long ball football, very progressive tactics by the new head coach....

We're away from home on a midweek night.

Having run our asses off just 3 days ago. Away from home.

We have a new coach.

We have players with heads full of new ideas, conflicting with what they've been instinctively doing for the last 2 years.

So we aren't going to play like Real Madrid tonight.

If we come home with a point, irrespective of the performance, then it's job done.

Not been much in it really. Bit of quality in the final third, which we seem to be lacking, the difference.

I keep saying it and keep getting accused of being unfair on Vyner but, his positioning left him off the pace there again. I just don't think Vyner can keep up with this higher pace style of defending that we're trying to play, his reading of the game isn't good enough. He almost got caught out with a long ball earlier on again for the same reason.

[TheSpaniard]

Tanner wtf was that.

[George Rs]

Everything attacking wise is just poor, off the ball movement, passing, crossing. 

[Ivorguy]

We are doing what Manning knows best the old Third Division boot up field and a mad scramble to reach it.  Dreadful

[archie andrews]

******* tanner

Very good finish tbf.  But shouldn’t have had the opportunity.

I’ve maintained all season I would drop him for Atkinson as soon as he’s fully fit

[Better Red]

We have not worked the goal keeper other than 2 long shots.

We have got behind them maybe twice.

Bell offering nothing upfront.

Need to bring Cornick of for bell and move Knight back a bit and get Sykes out wider.

Otherwise will never score if we play all night
